Just wrapped the Witch Doctor room with a small group and damn, that was one of the most fun, well-put-together escape rooms I've done in a long time. Perfect mix of clever puzzles, solid theming, and that immersive "you're actually in the story" vibe without going overboard. The host was the absolute highlight -- most awesome, energetic, and genuinely helpful guy. He set the tone right from the jump, explained everything clearly, kept things moving without giving anything away, and had this perfect balance of hype and chill that made the whole experience feel easy and exciting. You can tell he actually cares about people having a great time. Room itself was creative as hell. Great flow, no cheap gotchas, and the finale felt earned. We escaped with a few minutes left and walked out grinning. Price was fair, place was clean, and the whole crew seemed on point. read more

First time visiting Deadline Escape Rooms and I have to say--it was such a fun experience! I'm not usually into anything scary, gory, or horror-related, but I do love a good detective, sleuth, or murder mystery theme--and this definitely delivered. The representative who greeted us was pleasant, friendly, and very welcoming (I'm so sorry I forgot her name!). She set the tone for a great experience right from the start. We only had time to complete Episode One, but we all thoroughly enjoyed it and are already planning to come back for Episode Two. And yes--we escaped! We didn't beat the best time, but that just gives us something to aim for next time. What really stood out was how well the clues were designed. They guided you through solving the mystery without leaving you feeling stuck or confused. Some escape rooms can make you wonder, "Okay... what's next?"--but not here. Everything flowed in a way that kept it challenging and enjoyable. Highly recommend checking this place out--especially if you enjoy a good mystery! read more

Had a great time in all the rooms, especially loved that Noir and Camp Ruby can be done on two different modes! It was such an interesting concept. read more

The best in the Reno area!!! The room was clean and all the props worked- which is not always the case in an escape room. It is obvious the owners of this place care about their business. The host was great and thorough in explaining the types of locks. The experience my husband and I did was Noir and it was very straight forward and solvable for two people. It was also a lot of fun. The rooms were well done and the props were fun! I already booked my next experience once I got back to my car because it was so fun. read more

What an adventure! We did the Witch Doctor. Five of us decided to try our hand at escaping with the help of the Voodoo Priestess. We did finish in an hour and seven minutes and did use several clues, but a grand time was had by all. Can't wait to come back and try another escape room. Parking is plentiful and the staff are fabulous as well as helpful when you need them. Highly recommend the experience to groups. read more

My wife and I travel around and check out escape rooms. Its kind of our tradition anytime we travel. Deadline Escape Rooms is absolutely our favorite. They completely immerse you into the story, and most importantly, the clues and puzzles make sense. There is nothing worse than asking for a hint and thinking "How the heck would I have known that?!!" That frustration can ruin the experience. With Deadline, any hint we have received has made sense and gets us back on track. My wife and I highly recommend Deadline to anyone looking for an adventure. read more

Cute room, thoughtful layout. The staff is friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend.

Had a great experience here! Can't wait for the other rooms to open. Loved the PacMan video in the lobby too!!

I've heard good things about this place! So I was disappointed when my group of 8 (7 +1 kiddo) kept running into technical difficulties on the Lady of the Lake room. We made it out with ~ 23 mins left but had to constantly talk with our person to make sure that our next clues were properly activated to trigger the next event. We ran into 2 cases where we didn't solve something in the right order and because of the technical difficulties, we had to stop and wait for the employee to fix the issue. We waited on/ off for about 15 mins throughout the whole room. It was hard because we lost our momentum and were left more confused because we didn't know the cause/ effect of all the puzzles. I'm giving 3 stars only because the storyline was cool, and I had a friend go and complete the room successfully a few weekends later read more

Loved this escape room! Multi-room escape room, each room was done very well, puzzles are clever, challenging, and entertaining. You really feel like this escape room takes you to another place and time which you would not ever get to experience otherwise. Our group has done about 10 escape rooms throughout California and Nevada and this was a favorite of ours. We also did Witch Doctor at Deadline and this escape room which was also amazing which I also would rate a 5 out of a 5. read more

Did "noir" with 4 friends for a birthday. Not a great experience compared to other escape rooms I've done. The host, Onyx, seemed like she didn't like her job. The escape room was set up so the 2nd puzzle you are supposed to solve didn't make sense. We spent almost 20 minutes on it and finally asked for a clue. It was annoying because we are all pretty smart. we still finished in time. At the end, Onyx disappeared and didn't offer to take our groups photo, like every other escape room we have done. we just took our own photo outside. read more

Both rooms we've done have been amazing quality and their customer service has been great. We had to cancel my son's birthday party last minute because he got sick and they accommodated by rescheduling whenever we needed. read more

Biohazard is the best room I've ever played! Had a great time, I'd absolutely recommend it to everyone.

We did the Freakshow escape room and we had a blast!! We have done a lot of escape rooms and this was our favorite one so far!! The circus tent was awesome and the puzzles were pretty hard but we managed to get out with 10 minutes to spare and we got zero help! Staff was really great and we will definitely be back!!! read more

The Freak Show room was one of the best escape rooms we've done. Very detailed and the room makes you feel like you're at a circus

We tried the Freakshow escape room. The circus themed room is creative and has challenging puzzles. Our group of seven did not make it out in time, but we still had fun. In fact, we might go back to try and complete the second half. They offered us a 50% discount if we want to return. The staff is very friendly and helpful explaining the rules. There's ample parking out front and a couple of conveniently located restaurants in the same shopping center. read more

Very engaging escape room. Will definitely be back here when we are in town to do their other rooms.

The escape room was clean and well-kept. We have been through escape rooms where clues are broken or used beyond their life. Deadlines Escape Rooms was not at ALL like that. We had such a great time! read more

We had a large group and were playing the last game. The staff was so sweet and patient. This is my second time there and both times were amazing and fun. read more

Definitely the best Escape Room in Reno!!! We've been to many escape rooms in town, but this one is clean and lovely and new looking. Jenna at the front desk was amazing. She was extremely helpful and kind. We will definitely be back ! read more

Great Escape Room experience doing the Lady of the Lake! The staff was super friendly and helpful.

My family and I have done many escape rooms around town. The two we have done at Deadline, Freak Show and Witch Doctor, were two of the best. The rooms feel very authentic. You can tell that they have paid attention to every detail. The sound is very clear in the rooms - and if you need a hint, the box always works. The staff are attentive and friendly too, which is a huge bonus. Can't wait to go back to do parts 1 & 2 of Noir. read more

If you're looking for a fun activity for a group get together Deadline Escape Room is a great choice. Our group of eight chose The Noir room to satisfy our inner detective. You have one hour to gather clues, open locks and eliminate suspects. It was great fun and the hour flew by, to quickly. It was our first experience at an escape room and we had to ask for help with clues more than once. Unfortunately we ran out of time before we discovered the murderer and we opted for one of the attendants to show us what we missed. No worries, The Noir room has a second module and we all vowed to come back and give it another more successful try. read more

Me and the kids had a great time. We've been here a few times already and it's a blast everytime.

This was my first escape room, but it won't be my last. The tasks were challenging and fun. Our host was fun and helpful. The room was well put together and challenging. read more

These escape rooms are so well done! The staff is extremely friendly! Our family has been talking about the experience non stop! Camp Ruby Lake looks so great and you can tell how much work they put into that room. It is a great experience! Highly recommend their escape rooms! read more

Very fun escape room, it's was easy to book online. We will be back to all of the other rooms they offer.

Dead Silence room. Tech was great, lots of fun scary moments, room was easy for experienced escape room goers like my group, didn't need any hints. Loved it and would definitely go back to try other rooms! read more

This is just a short but happy review. Had to look for another escape room to do while in Reno since we had done almost all of them and found this place. It is located in a nice area in Reno and has reservations until 9:30pm. The place is clean and easy to find. The staff was great and the room we did was really fun. We will be going back to try the other rooms and I definitely suggest you try it out. It is worth your time and money. read more

Chose the Witch Doctor escape room and had a great time! Tough enough to be a challenge without being frustrating. The props, space, and effects created a terrific atmosphere. Would absolutely recommend the experience and will be going back to do other rooms. read more

I have a group of friends I pretty regularly do space rooms with. We had actually been at another one in town where the game master had recommended Deadline to us. We were told there was a room where you had to be fairly quiet or else the lights went out in the room. Immediately we knew this sounded up our alley! The parking situation at Deadline is very generous so no need to worry about carpooling. Once we arrived, we were greeted and pretty much went right into our game room. The name of the game is "Dead Silence". You can speak in hushed tones. It was only when we accidentally banged something that the lights went out and thankfully, it only lasts for 20 seconds. The puzzles were somewhat unique. I feel like though the room says up to 8 people, with the 7 of us, we had "too many cooks in the kitchen". The room really kept us on our toes while trying to figure out what could come next. It was really fun! We all really enjoyed ourselves. We're already looking forward to going back to take on the next rooms! Noir perhaps? If you're into escape rooms, grab some friends and run to Deadline!!! read more

Deadline Escape Rooms - Got out in 36 minutes! - Arts & Entertainment Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Amazing time today with our team at the Freak Show! We escaped, but it was tough. It was a great experience for our team. We learned to work together through listening to each other and talking through the situations to escape. We all had some uncomfortable moments but we managed them to come together and escape. Before we even got in the room it began. I don't want to give it away, so I won't. But you have to go and try this room. Looking forward to the next time. read more

I definitely recommend this place. We did Dead Silence. It was a little challenging, but it was super fun! It wasn't impossible, which I like because it's no fun when it's too difficult. They have a nice clean lobby with a Pac-Man game you and a friend can play while waiting for your room to be ready. The employee at the front is very friendly as well. The prices are listed on their website when you book your room. I'll be coming back again to do another room. read more

We were taken here for our wedding anniversary and had an amazing time! Hands down, the best escape room that I've been to. Everything worked so smoothly and the clues were a perfect mix of difficult yet doable. We did the Noir room with 5 and got out with 6 minutes left on the clock. The room was BEAUTIFULLY themed and super immersive. The owner helped us get set up and he was so friendly and helpful, perfect job for this guy. Cannot wait to come back and try the other rooms they have to offer! read more

My husband loves escape rooms... Me? Not the biggest fan. But this place had me engaged and working to find a way out! We scheduled an escape room last minute as a double date with some close friends so there weren't many options. We were left with the escape room that was described as a murderers basement. I was not excited... Especially since the description also mentioned the lights would be going out of we made too much noise. Yikes! When we arrived we had access to small lockers to put our belongings and coats in which was really nice. The escape room wasn't too large, but very realistic! We did take the entire time to escape but it was so much fun! We really had to use our smarts to get through some of the puzzles. Overall, great experience!! We even got to chat with the owner afterward and he gave us a brief history on how he got this place started. Give it a try, it'll be more fun than you think! read more

I'm a huge fan of escape rooms and I'm glad we're getting more of them here in the Reno area. Deadline is definitely shaping up to be a great addition to the mix. The entrance/waiting area doesn't give much in the way to how aesthetically pleasing the rooms are. There is a monstrous skeleton you can snap some pictures with though! I'm excited to see what these folks do. I think these guys are going to give my favorite escape room a run for their money. Unlike other places they didn't give us a little "backstory" video on how we ended up in our escape room predicament. Instead the game master walked us into the room and put us where we belong and said their farewell. Once they closed the door the action began as a narrative started to play. I won't spoil anything for those who have yet to do it. But, we did the Circus themed room and the narrative was led by the crazy ring leader who had alternate motives than letting us leave! The attention to detail was pretty neat in here, it really screamed callbacks to the earlier days of the big top tents and feats of wonder. I'm stoked to try the rest of their rooms. My team did great. They also have a unique feature (not sure if it is for all rooms) but the circus room had a regular and challenge mode. And the challenge mode was said to have. Couple more puzzles and they don't give you hints. I will be going back and also opting for the challenge mode since my team rocked so hard with the normal mode. read more

This is hands down one of the best escape rooms in Reno! We've done all of their rooms including the newly opened Camp Ruby Lake. We do a lot of escape rooms and I can genuinely say these guys have their puzzles set up in a way that's challenging but not so challenging that it's impossible to figure out. Their rooms have a really good flow to them once you get going. They go all out on their props and decor too! read more

This place is by far my favorite place to do an escape room! They are absolutely amazing and kind! The rooms are incredibly fun! I have personally done, dead silence, freak show, and witch doctor. All three were so much fun and the decorations are truly just amazing! I would highly recommend!! read more
