Great experience and helpful staff. Bringing a 9-year-old who desperately wanted to try an escape room could have been a recipe for disaster, but the staff guided us toward the more age-appropriate rooms, helped us get set up, and made the experience less intimidating-- this was HUGE in ensuring the outcome was a positive one. Additionally, the conditions of the room itself were great. The clue system was clear and in our control-- much appreciated. All in, best experience I've had with an escape room! read more

Solid escape room experience in Savannah! I was visiting with a bachelorette party and we were looking for something to do before dinner. I called them to see if they had last minute availability and luckily they had a room and could also accommodate our group of 9 people. Other rooms in the area were booked and could also only fit up to 6 people, so we appreciated that we could have our whole group in one room. We did the art heist room. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Pros: availability day-of, great service, unlimited hints from the staff Cons: I'd say the room was on the easier side. We were out in 35 minutes, with a group of 9 people. Mostly keys/locks and combination locks. Overall a fun time and easy location to find! read more

We did the Art Heist escape room and had a fantastic time! I went with my two kids (both under 10), and it was the perfect mix of challenge and fun for all of us. The storyline was engaging, the puzzles were well thought out, and the whole experience was very entertaining. The staff member we interacted with was super friendly and gave great hints that kept the game moving without giving too much away. It was exciting to win the game as a team--and even better that it was something we could all enjoy together. Definitely family-friendly, and we'll be coming back to try another room soon! read more

Super fun time for my bachelorette party, staff was very nice and helpful! The one we did was the mystery in the museum with a stolen art piece. Hints from Reece were good without giving stuff away. We were able to make it out with 15 minutes to spare! Groups Pictures are $10 which is a bit expensive... read more

Looking for a fun Escape Room experience! Ended up choosing this company and their Hellavator experience. Great instructions and pointers (before the clues) and we had a GREAT time. Finished with time to spare (not much however...)....but that's the fun. Right? Will try another when we next return. Well Done, thanks for a great experience! read more

Street parking may be tough to find. Come early. Smaller place than most escape room businesses. The room we did was Zeta Eta Zeta: The Cursed Bridal Veil This room is poorly planned. First off you have no idea where to start your clues. And to figure out one thing leading to another is very difficult. Would have never gotten it if we didn't ask for help. I hate doing that. Feels like cheating. Very disappointed in this room! read more

Puzzles were medium difficulty with hints available. A good variety of puzzles. Set design was not as immersive as "top tier" games. Some props were of poor quality and had either functional or immersive concerns. The staff was great. Worth a rainy day but not a stand out example of the genre. read more

I booked this for my Girl Scout when we were visiting. The girls loved it so much that they were begging to come back the second night. Unfortunately we had other plans for the next night, but we would have loved to. We did Hellevator for some of the group and another part of the group did the Museum mystery. The puzzles were challenging, but solvable. It was satisfying to find the clues and match numbers, even with hints. There was also a good element of excitement since the lights dimmed as the clock counted down! Would recommend to anyone looking to do some team building and to see a different side to the people in your group's personalities. :) read more

If you are looking for a fun and interesting place to play an escape room, this is THE PLACE!!! The environment is welcoming, the staff is amazing, and the decorations really draw you in! All of the games are super entertaining and the storylines really go with the room! The puzzles make sense and playing an escape room with friends or family really brings you closer!! read more

We did the hellevator room and it was super fun! It was challenging and creative. It is only one room but has so many different objectives. We are looking forward to returning and trying a new room! read more

Fun at the Lights Out room even though they kept giving us hints. Alex and I did Lights Out at the Museum with a friend while he was in town. I've never done an escape room, but with two computer engineers and myself I figured we could get out... And we did! With 8:30 to spare. We booked a reservation online. Lights Out was the middle level difficulty. It entails trying to figure out who stole a painting from a museum. We were told after that the ZEZ room is the hardest so I'm glad we went with the mid-level option to start. We never officially used any of our clues, but one of the staff members did keep talking to us and giving hints throughout the two rooms. I like the range of puzzles. The Lights Out rooms are big enough for maybe 4-5 people. I would not recommend a group over that size. Next time: we're going for ZEZ. read more

Encryption Escape - Escape Games Near Me - Savannah, Georgia

My husband and I have done two escape rooms here. We did the pirate theme room which was decent. We were able to finish it with about 15 minutes left. We also recently completed the Zeta Eta Zeta? Room. The instructor stated this was their hardest room and I completely agree. There's hardly really any way to get started without asking for a clue. The room itself is lacking in structure. The storyline is not well developed. It's hard to determine what exactly you're supposed to do without consistently asking for clues. The instructor states that no one has ever solve the room without asking for a clue before. I think this lends to the fact that there really is no ability to start the game without asking for a clue. Highly disappointing in this room and would recommend revamping of this room/storyline. I would recommend doing one of their other rooms as this is just a frustration read more

Above and beyond other escape rooms. Very attentive staff who watch what you're doing and speak up to help if you're totally going in the wrong direction. They told my son that he was a great puzzle solver which was a huge (much needed) boost of confidence for him. Very engaged staff, great staff roleplay, clean rooms. Have already been twice in November. Once for a girls night and once with the kids. Both times were 10/10 read more

Encryption Escape - The least helpful ones look the roughest - Escape Games Near Me - Savannah, Georgia

I had a really fun time with my bf and his sister. We tired both the hellelavator(easy) and the sorority(hardest). They were both really fun and were challenging enough. The sorority one was definitely a bit more spooky and would definitely suggest. read more

We did the Lights out room which was really cool and unique. With two people, we were able to escape with ten minutes left but it would be a good room for 3-5 people. This room was a little more low budget than other rooms we've done but the puzzles were cool. Sometimes the game guide would give hints when we didn't ask for it and were about to figure it out ourselves. Overall a good game though. read more

We love escape rooms and making it a habit to visit in any town we go. This one was fun but super difficult. We were pair with another family but kids were too young so we wasted time trying to explain the kids to be more methodical. We did the Lights Out at the museum" - as the time passes lights were dimmed. To crack it, we needed at least 30 more minutes. Some of the clues made absolutely no sense, others were given in such a way - not even Einstein will solve. After we ran out of time, and room was dark, the lady came and told us what we missed. There was not way we could have solve the next cue to get a key out to open something else that would have had the key to open the room. If you are doing the room for the first time, I don't see how you could solve. Those that posted that had, I bet they have done it before. Overall, we love it even if we failed. We laughed so hard, they unexperience kids had tons of fun. We will do it again even if it is to finish it with some experience, although I can't remember how I solved some of the clues. read more

Everyone was very friendly, we had a very pleasant time! Escaped in just under 50 minutes, we were in the Pirate room. It was not very difficult compared to other escape rooms we've done, a lot of "finding clues". Can't say much more due to spoilers! Very fun!! read more

Encryption Escape - We had such a fun time! - Escape Games Near Me - Savannah, Georgia

We tried out the Shanghai Savannah room today. First time doing this company's escape room. The staff was friendly. The room was well done. I very much appreciated that clues were clear and if an object wasn't a clue that was also very clear. We played as a group of two (both adults who have done other escape rooms) and we were able to escape without using all our clues. We will definitely be back to try the harder rooms. I highly recommend paying attention to your skill level and the rooms level when choosing what room you want to do. Good luck on your future escapes!! read more

The staff was excellent ! the place was awesome will come again , to do the next rooms when I visit my son next year. read more

Encryption Escape - After the escape room - Escape Games Near Me - Savannah, Georgia

Such a fun time! The room was very unique (I won't give any spoilers) but we did something in here that we have never physically done in an escape room. Not that filthy mind! The staff was great and gave just enough clues at the right time. We didn't crack this one, but we will be back when we are in Savannah. read more

Have experienced Shanghai Savannah and Zeta Eta Zeta here and they were decent! Zeta was a bit warm so we were able to leave the main door open. We were there with another group and it was crowded for five people but we made it through. Interesting room and we all worked together. Clever concepts to some puzzles in the room. Shanghai Savannah was just us two but we escaped! Lots of puzzles for two brains but we figured it out with some assistance of our hints! We liked the thrill and challenge. read more

Pirate was suppose to be easy but this was really hard to get out. This escape room isn't like other escape rooms I been in the past. There isn't really a link or connection to the next clue. The lady giving the clues had a attitude. We ran out of clues so we basically sat there for one time 15min. read more

Pretty awesome experience. We came here on a Sunday as a spare of the moment decision. (FYI if you're looking to begin at a certain time your best bet is to reserve online) Anyways it was me, my 6 year old daughter and a friend of mines. We were the last group for the evening and we decided to do the easiest one on their books which is the pirate one AKA shanghai savannah. It was a bit frustrating being that we had a 6 year old tagging along that can't really give her input other than touch everything thing that she sees in the room. So I can sadly say we did not make it out in the hour that was allocated to us. But the experience in it self was great. Even though this room was categorizad as the easiest escape room we still stumbled upon challenges we did not expect to face. It definitely is a game that makes you think outside of the box. All in all we had a great time. The ladies that were assisting were super helpful and resourceful during times of extreme struggle. 4 starts because even though it's meant for ages 5 and up I don't really recommend you bringing someone under the age of 8 or 9. Especially if you really want to get out in time. We do plan on returning for the other two rooms they have to offer. This time kid free read more

Shanghai Savannah was awesome! We did this with our toddlers in the way and still had so much fun! My husband and our 3 teenagers did this together and it was our first escape room. We will definitely do one again! We did successfully escape with almost 10 minutes to spare but this was the easiest available and we did have A few hints(about 6). We really enjoyed the challenge And working together. read more

Didn't list a minimum player requirement on the website but after driving the hour there and paying for parking on my birthday I arrived to find out there was one and they cancelled my booking. Luckily I was offered a refund but that variety of information should be available on the website. Update: After finding a booking at the other escape company across the street I was informed they lied to me and that there was not actually a minimum player requirement to complete the rooms because the employees here had done them previously, demoting to one star read more

My family and I just finished doing the Shanghai Savannah room! We loved it. It was us three an another couple. The room had great clues and the scene of the room was spot on with the theme to allow you to immerse yourself into the story. The room was very neat and laid out. The "do not touch" labels and glued down props help you stay focus on the clues and props that matter and you don't have a tons of things just around for no reason. The employees was very knowledgeable and friendly. They make you feel right at home. I definitely will be doing the other rooms they have there. read more

We had a great time! Rhonda was informative about what they had to offer. They accommodated our group and complimented us after we completed the game! It was lots of fun! read more

I stepped in the place to find out some information and took a picture of the lobby and they kicked me out. It was raining and the owner was an a$$. They were nice but when I took a picture they acted like I touched the receptionist private parts read more

Super friendly staff and such a fun thing to do! I would recommend this to anyone!! Would be a great time for a group of friends or family. The games were just the right amount of a challenge! Can't wait for their new room! read more

Best Escape room in the Savannah area by far! Stellar staff that is with you every step of the way! Can't recommend enough!

We did two rooms at this location. Our group does rooms frequently so we can be kind of picky. The first room we did was the pirate one. I think Shanghai savannah? That one was really fun. There was a lot to do but it wasn't likely he clues were waaay out there. The other one was the sorority wedding one but none of us liked that one as much. You had to say stuff out loud and it was a little awkward. Also, for the first room we had a younger guy help us and he was great! And then for the sorority room, it was an older woman and she came off quite rude a few times so that could have also factored into why we liked the first room more. I definitely recommend the first (pirate) room though! It's a great thing to do while you're visiting on a rainy day. Also, if you scroll to the bottom of the page, there are an additional twelve 5 star reviews you can read that are "not recommended" and are not included in the overall rating so the rating is inaccurate and should be higher read more

Played last winter, great fun people of all ages. The game was not too challenging, but hard enough to get my gears going. Can't wait for the new room! read more

It was super awesome! The rooms were well done and the riddles were challenging, but solvable. I would absolutely go back with my friends and family! read more
