Louis our game master was super awesome. The animation, the story line, the theme was amazing. It was super cool, immersive, and genuinely fun. Definitely gave our brain and thinking skills a run for our money. We brought a 5 year old that got scared so they watched over him and let him watch through the monitors as we figured out the room. Super awesome staff and themes.

Good service; clues, and a nice challenge for the 4 of us. Well thought out on the 4 room EsCAPER!read more

Our teen kids really like that everyone can contribute to a solve. We appreciate the time afterward to debrief and see the clues other people in our group were solving -- the conversation about the cleverness usually continues the whole drive home.

Our host, Jonah, was fun, engaging, and made everything run smoothly, which made the night even better. The space is lively and inviting, and I loved that you could bring drinks from the bar in, which made the evening feel relaxed. We had about 24 people split into two teams, and even though my team didn't win, it was so much fun. I was hoping to check out both rooms, so I can't wait to come back and experience the other one. Perfect spot for friends or family who want more than just sitting around. Definitely planning a family game night here soon!

My friends and I did the Zombie Refuge room this evening in celebration of my 30th birthday, and…read morewere far from impressed with the staff. The guy working there was not at all enthused or pleasant to work with. He barely greeted us, wasn't in the spirit. Also, the video intro that we were asked to observe before our time started very clearly stated that clues would not be used twice, and yet one of the puzzles was only solvable by reusing a clue. When we pointed this out to the guy after, he denied it repeatedly. He refused to acknowledge the error, despite all 6 of us being confident it was in the video. The idea for the room was cool, but there were some executional flaws. And it ended very abruptly on our escape. It didn't feel like there was any closure. Finally, when we escaped our room, the staff made no attempt to come get us in a timely manner. When he did finally come get us, he said "that's it. Thanks guys" and offered us no opportunity to take a photo with the props, didn't tell us our final time, or invite us to come back again. As an escape room aficionado, I expect a higher caliber of service and immersion than my friends and I received during this visit. Will not be returning.

Agree with previous review about the person working there not being enthused or pleasant to work…read morewith. We arrived early (as you normally do for escape rooms) and he was so flustered that he "wasn't even open yet". Not sure what he was doing but he did not bring us back to the room until our exact minute of our start time. No one else was even there. We did not escape our room, and this is the first escape room where I have not been told how to exit the room or how close we were to exiting the room. All he said was "if you want to know how to escape then you will have to come back and try again". Very unsatisfying. Obviously would not pay money again to go and complete the exact same escape room knowing all the clues that we were able to figure out during our time in there. Will not be returning and would not recommend.

Thomas was our host and he did a good job of watching and prompting when needed. We escaped but got stuck a couple of times. We must be a little out of practice.

This was my second time doing an escape room but first time with Save Milwaukee. What I liked about…read moreSave Milwaukee is that they give you a scenario which seems to create more urgency and also a reason (aside from just getting out of the room) to crack the codes. There were 6 of us total celebrating a friend's birthday. As soon as we entered the room we set about our task. We received periodic updates to the scenario and I won't say much more as to not spoil the game for others. We got out with ten seconds to spare!! I'm 2 for 2 on getting out of escape rooms. Only odd thing was they suggested we create agent names and we wrote them on our sheets but they never came to play. Perhaps that was up to us to embrace more. They have two rooms and I'm looking forward to trying out the 2nd room!

I'm back home for the holidays and was excited to introduce a group of Milwaukee friends to my new obsession. I gotta say, this room was a very pleasant surprise. While the look of the room was a little bland, the puzzles were for the most part excellent. It's rare I run into a puzzle that's totally new to me, and this room had two memorable standouts. Great use of technology, including puzzles that require physical teamwork (the best kind). The owner/operator was a friendly, quirky gentleman who enthusiastically brought us into the story of the room. We had a chance to chat with him afterwards and his next room, The Election, sounds fantastic - wish I was going to be around when it opens! My only gripe about this place was that we found it too easy - we broke the record and escaped in about 25 minutes. That was probably due to having a couple veterans on the team. If this is one of your first rooms (and seeing as I've only found 6 in Milwaukee, it probably is!), I absolutely recommend it. Good times!

My first official experience with an escape room and I had a great time. I can't reveal my favorite…read moremoments as that would ruin the experience for others, but I will say that the host was amazing and the instructions were easy to follow. There were plenty of clues and figuring them out was a lot of fun, as they all were a little different in the approach to solving for an answer. There were four in our group and we all played an equal part in trying to solve the crime. We didn't solve our case but were really close to the right answer. And I'd say that, win or lose, this was a really good way to spend an hour! I'd definitely come back to try one of the other rooms. One thing to note, that I almost missed - the entrance and parking are located around the back of the main mall. Once you've driven around the building, the location is easy to spot.

It was very easy to do using their online portal and got the tickets for a specific date night with me, my husband and two other couples. The manager was very welcoming, friendly, and did a great job explaining all the ins and outs of the escape room, especially for one of us who would never done an escape room before. Since we knew the theme ahead of time, our room had an 80s theme. We all dressed up in 80s themed attire too, which added an extra fun element to it and gave us a lot of fun and cool pictures. The escape room was so clever the time definitely feels like it goes by really fast and even when you think that you have 45 minutes or an hour in reality, it goes by in a blink of an eye. Only one of our members got scolded for trying to touch something a little too much regarding the stuff that's actually adhered to the wall (lol). Don't wanna give away any spoilers, but there was a lot of really cool elements in that specific room and the theme fit together really nicely! With all of the interesting things we had to find discover, get keys, codes, locks, and phone numbers! Maybe even a little old-school video game play. Would definitely come back again!
