My brother and I went to Enigma Games for his birthday after trying out an escape room in Louisville and loving it. Enigma has very different feel than the first escape room company I went to. Unlike a lot of escape rooms (Breakout Games, Escape, etc.) this one is not a franchise. The rooms are entirely original from traditional escape games (no kidnapping or other overused themes). The room we did was called "Grandma's secret recipe" I believe and the goal was to search "grandma's" house and find her recipe before the bank comes to take it. The puzzles were challenging, even if they could use some tweaking. The staff was incredibly open to feedback and I think it's just developing currently. I imagine creating original rooms is more difficult than the kits many places use! I definitely recommend going in a group, because you never know who you'll be paired with otherwise. Overall I recommend Enigma and I'm excited to try out their "Haunted Dorm" this fall! read more

Thanks, Enigma Puzzle House, for putting Bloomington on the map for escape rooms! These puzzle rooms were all the rage in Boston, but we never got around to it until now. And we're glad we did, because it was a great way to spend the afternoon. You basically get locked inside of a room filled with tons of clues. You're presented with a puzzle and then have only 1 hour to solve it. Who knew it would be such a rush! We went with some puzzle-room pros, and they were pleased by the level of difficulty at Enigma. $25 seemed somewhat steep for only 1 hour, but it's actually on the cheaper end compared to places in Indy and Boston. The staff were SUPER friendly and enthusiastic about escape rooms. ....I could see how it may be less fun if you're a group of 2 stuck with some strangers, but definitely grab a group of friends (or Team Building Event 2017) and go. You'll be reliving your Saw-victory for quite a while. read more

SO FUN! SO MUCH (good) ANXIETY! SO MUCH LAUGHING! Really no way to explain exactly what you do, you just have to try it!!! You use your brain, you think outside the box, you work together, you make A BUNCH of mistakes, you get off track, you start to figure it out, you realize you're not as clever as you think you are, and the time goes SO QUICKLY!!!! JUST DO IT!!!! read more

Absolutely amazing. It is so refreshing to see a business owner take such pride in a product. We had a blast playing two games at Enigma. The games are so unique and fun. Highly recommend trying the Carnival themed game. read more

We took a group of 7th graders to Enigma Puzzle House for my son's birthday. The kids had a fantastic time and barely got out of the room by solving the puzzle with one second left on the clock. It was a terrific end to a fun hour of challenge and teamwork. The owner and the staff member who led our group were very friendly and welcoming. I definitely recommend this for groups of all ages, and it will be fun to see what the new rooms are like as they expand. We are very pleased that this now exists as a fun thing to do in Bloomington. read more

Came back with my colleagues for a team building event. Scott and David, you guys are amazing! I loved the carnival room--very impressive work. I was really excited to see the newest props. Clearly a labor of love! Now get to work on the next ones so we can take the in-laws somewhere new. read more

Hey, we're all young at heart, but the fact is our group of six ranged in age from 62 to 67. This was a GREAT activity that we could do together and it was handi-accessible and handi-friendly for our one group member that wasn't as mobile as the rest of us. The puzzle was very intricate and very well thought out. Super impressive. It was a great brain exercise for us as we recognize the need to stay mentally sharp as we age (Attn Owners: Marketing alert/hint). Customer service was over the moon and we can not recommend this place more highly. Thank you so much for a great time! Dave, Sabra, Brian, Patty, Mike, Teresa aka "IU 1970's Grads" read more

We did Death by Chocolate and although I thought it would be pretty cool, it wasn't. The locks are very similar and the puzzles don't make a lot of sense. Hard to get too many people in the room because there is nothing for more than 2-3 people to do at a time. We have been to a lot of escape rooms - this was disappointing to say the least. We found the staff lackluster. They did not make the room sound exciting nor were they much help - as in their clues didn't really help us. I would not suggest this escape room. DISAPPOINTED! read more

AWESOME! Absolutely fun and challenging! Great rooms. I highly recommend trying this! Definitely worth it!

My wife took me to Enigma today for my birthday. She had done an escape room previously but it was my first time. The company (as of today) has one room operating but with plans for several more. The room we entered ("Grandmother's recipe") is fully operational. I won't give any spoilers but the puzzles were challenging but not insurmountable. You are granted three "clue" opportunities, with the helper giving you a requested clue via a video screen. These are not canned clues but are in response to whatever problem you're facing. The whole experience lasts 60 minutes (the screen relentlessly counts down!) but the time flies by. We had such a great time and then went for beer/pizza to relax. I thoroughly recommend Enigma; we had a blast! And we'll definitely return once additional rooms are added. read more
