I just visited The Escape Room with my wife and four friends, and we had a blast! We all heartily recommend trying it out. For those not familiar with escape rooms, the premise is simple. You get locked in a room for an hour and work together to solve a variety of puzzles within an hour in order to escape. I don't want to say too much about the puzzles, cause you'll want to experience them for yourself, but there were locks and keys and codes and all sorts of clever devices. There is also a television mounted on the wall that shows how much time you have left, and allows the folks running the show to provide the occasional hint if everyone is totally stumped (a facilitator watches you from behind a one-way window). Having never done an escape room before, this kind of surprised me, but after being in there for 20 minutes it totally made sense to me. It also added some levity. Escape rooms are new to Lincoln, and at the time of this review The Escape Room is less than a month old. There were a few minor kinks in the room, but we had so much fun that it didn't adversely affect our experience. Also, the folks at The Escape Room offered us a free escape experience at a later date, which we gladly accepted. Looking forward to coming back! read more

Absolutely great! Tate was super helpful with the clues when we needed them and the room was challenging enough but we got through the room! It was fun and challenging and it scared a few of us a couple times but it was all fun and games! Big fan!!! Will do again read more

Went to escape room with 4 family members and were paired with another team who had 3. At first i was pretty skeptical about it but thought.. eh, it will kill an hour. What a freakin blast! Had a really good time. We didn't complete our task on time but that didn't matter, we laughed our butts off. Everyone had to contribute to the puzzle to make it work. I will definitely do it again. read more

Never did I thought I would be enjoying this, but I had such a fun time!!! My friends and I escaped from the Musicians Room. You get to figure out how to escape using the secret codes that you will find all over the room. This room included playing a tune to have one of the boxes pop open and reveal our next clue. As the time run out, you get a rush of adrenaline trying to escape before staff has to pop open your room. It was definitely worth it! There were only 4 of us so we payed an extra $15 fee to reserve the room exclusively for our group. We reserved our room and payed online. $25 per person. If you escape, you get a bumper sticker! read more

Fantastic experience. My parents were visiting from out of state so we decided to make a trip to the Lincoln escape room with my wife and two kids age 9 and 7. We did the missing musician puzzle and it was great. I thought most of these rooms were geared more towards adults but my kids even helped solve a few puzzles! We all contributed to getting out of the room with just 29 seconds left! The team contributions led to feeling of euphoria by all when we solved it. If I had one complaint, and it is minor, I thought it was a little pricey, but considering you'll probably pay close to the same amount taking 6 people to the movies, it wasn't too bad. But the pricing does make it more of something I would do for special events and not out of boredom. read more

Love this place! We always have a great time! Such a unique way to spend an evening and a good bonding experience

They messed ours up so it was impossible to win, been there before and it was fine. The person running it at the time did give us clues when we asked and the clues they did give were useless read more

We came here to celebrate a friends birthday and did The judgment room. We were super excited to come but spent 15+ minutes in handcuffs on the first clue because it was not put in the room. Disappointed as it was a waste of money since we wasted so much time because the worker didn't check the first clue or cameras to see why we were struggling. This is the second time coming here where a clue was not put in the room, causing a huge time delay. Such a bummer I'd rather have a refund. read more

Was an amazing time. Went with 9 people and got out in just under 5 minutes. Very challenging but a blast.

We did The Cure with a group of friends and had a blast. It was quite a challenge. We found the cure with just seconds to spare. We can't wait to try another room. read more

Went for a friends birthday gathering. The room we booked was LaCastro's Lair. Good "Halloween" theme. There was a mixup with one of the puzzles/clues not being in the correct spot. We informed the manager and she handled the situation well. Was told the room wasn't reset properly and offered to make things right. We will be back again and recommend it for people who like games. read more

This place was amazing! Great leaders and friendly. Very quality rooms. I've done a lot and this was quality.

I played The Missing Musician and The Cure here. I have done many escape rooms and enjoyed the experience provided by Lincoln Escape Room. I highly recommend this as something fun to do with friends or family. Give it a shot! read more

I have been to the Escape Room twice. Each time has been a great experience. The rooms have been ready right away. The hosts have been super friendly and kind. The rooms have been challenging and fun. Their system of having the host monitor your and give you clues when you need them is great! I will keep coming back! read more

Was lucky enough to get to participate in a soft open. Tested one of the rooms with some friends. I had never been to an escape room before and was unsure what to expect. I was really surprised by how much fun I had! The puzzles were challenging without being obscure or tedious. They were varied and creatively constructed. The pacing was near perfect: we finished the room with only seconds left! I only tried one of several planned rooms, but I can recommend the experience wholeheartedly and say with confidence that I WILL be returning. read more

Absolutely terrible. The guy who intro'd us and got us going didn't explain anything, didn't leave us a paper to take notes on. After the time ran out, the (different) guy who explained what we needed to do asked if we took notes and said that if we had it would have been very helpful - and was very surprised we hadn't been given anything to take notes on or been told it would benefit us to take notes. He was very apologetic but offered no refund on the $100+ we had paid despite admitting we should have been prepared better and differently by suggesting note taking. Between the four of us we've been to many escape rooms. This was by far our worst experience. Go to another one. read more

This place is super amazing!!! I seriously can't compliment it enough. My husband and I went here for a little different date night out. We were the only two but the staff was really awesome and gave some hints to help us on our way. We didn't get out, but we made it to the last puzzle and ran out of time. I would 100% recommend this to everyone!! We will surely be back to go through the other room with some friends in the future. Keep up the good work guys!! And thank you for a very fun 60 minutes read more

Went here for a little birthday fun with my three grown children and husband. We did the Art Heist Room with another group of seven adults. This is an excellent activity for families and friends. We all worked together and found that each one of us was a needed part of the puzzle. Everybody found some clue that ended up getting us closer to escaping the room. We had a great time and look forward to another chance to do it again. read more

So excited for this; pre-ordered my tickets! Finally there's something to do besides bars in this town

$25 per person and after an hour it turns out that one of the hints was entirely wrong and caused us to spend 20 minutes becoming increasingly frustrated. Initially all that was offered was to show us the solution, I asked them to make it right, was offered a few coupons. I told them we had no desire to give them money again even at a discount. Eventually they agreed to give us an additional 20 minutes, and we completed the room no problem. At $200 for the group I would expect solvable puzzles with correct clues. Would not recommend, they only made the situation right after being repeatedly asked to do so. read more

We have been to the escape room three times now and have had a blast every time! We've always gotten down to the wire. Each room is very well thought out and put together. Alec our room supervisor for the most recent room was great and kept us on our toes the whole time. Recommend as a family outing or a way to see how well you and your friends work as a team! read more

Did the two room art heist with a group of friends and it was fabulous. Very challenging and a ton of fun.

Seven of us, 4 adults and three teenagers, did the lab room. The design of the room was very professional. The clues were clever and it required some real concentration to solve the puzzles. We were lucky to make it out with less than a minute left. It was a great time, much more fun than going to a movie. Next time we are all in town we will definitely try another one of their rooms. The staff was also very friendly. read more
