We had my daughter's 9th Birthday party here and my daughter said it was the best birthday she's had so far! They got there and had their cake and pizza beforehand and then did the Escape Room: St. George and the Dragon. They were in there a long time so it wasn't super easy for them to solve. We got to watch them on a TV outside the room. Then they came out and had ice cream sundae's. They all seemed very tired too from all the brain work they did in solving the puzzle. We recommend! read more

My wife and I did "The Wine Cellar" today. This was a fantastic escape room! We have done more than 20 escape rooms all over the United States (we try to do one any time we stay in another city), and this was one of the best - and most challenging. The room included a live actor/role player, as well as several challenges we haven't seen incorporated into other Escape Rooms. If you're an escape room veteran, this one will definitely challenge you. read more

Pops Soda Shop that is inside the venue is a great spot before or after a good escape. Wish this place was here when we were kids read more

Escape in Time - Pops soda shop next door is great and so cute. Wish this was here when we were kids! - Escape Games Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

This place has fun escape rooms. I just helped play test their new Wine Cellar (Edgar Allen Poe room) and it was a good challenge to finish in less than 1 hour. We all loved it. read more

This is my observation of the 'Scrooge Play Experience', not of any other escape room or experience produced by this company. I understand this is the second year of this presentation, and from audience members who had attended both years, this season's is an improvement. If true, the first year must have been a low bar to surpass. From the sounds of chairs and dishes and muffled giggling echoing behind closed doors (possibly spirits preparing for their performances?), to a Scrooge so soft-voiced and restrained he appeared more reticent retiree than insatiable miser, the program was a best attempt of more practiced plays I've seen at the college or high school level. Even for those familiar with Dickens's work, the scenes were disjointed, creating spaces where guests were left for long periods that should have been occupied by important plot points. During one 'scene' a game of charades were played where the answers included Hula Hoops, urinating in the snow, and Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. In what year is this story set, Mr. Scrooge? I appreciate the effort, and the dancing lessons were a surprise that worked very well with the scene. Although it wasn't made clear until the last few moments that the Scrooge we'd met who should be looking back on his past alongside we, the audience, viewing the past; has become one of the young dancers claiming he'd seen a ghost. The Scrooge of counting-house and bedchambers had vanished, not to be seen again until he appeared to apologize for his poor behavior, with little to show of why he'd changed his ways. Perhaps this is a little-known prequel to the widely-accepted story? Yet for an hour and half I'd experienced what I experienced, seen and heard what can't be easily forgotten, and just as Scrooge cowered beneath his bedsheets when encountered by the first spirit, I also returned home and to my bed, wishing the evening had been nothing more but a clanking noise, an undigested bit of food, or a nightmare. read more

If you enjoy escape rooms I would not recommend this company. The puzzles were linear and finnicky, props seemed chinsy. Seemed geared towards little kids in terms of actors and storylines. We've done most of the escape rooms available in this area but I would not go back to this location read more

My daughter, Having been invited to a birthday party here, had a great time, along with the other 14 girls....rather little princesses....please forgive me. ;). The staff was beyond warm and friendly, politely accommodating both with the young girls and adults...which is never an easy task. Judging by the smiles on all the little princesses faces...which is a true testament...the birthday party was a great smashing success!! Thank you to all the staff and host for such a lovely event - you made everyone feel special and appreciated. Thank you!!! read more

I stumbled upon this playhouse using Groupon, but the folks running it were eager to offer me the same discount by booking direct, since they earned more that way (Support local business!). Keith proceeded to be just as awesomely happy to serve throughout our experience, accommodating us as if we were their only customer... or more to the point, pulling out all the stops even though we were their only customer. They have several rooms to choose from, mostly based on historical events. The one we opted for had a challenge level that was spot on for our clever group. We did need one hint to get us out with 10 minutes to spare. Without giving too much away... secret passages!? cool. They offer lots of fodder for putting a sparkle in the eye of younguns (and those of us who enjoy a bit of playtime), including thematic costumes (and dialect) on the hosts, a party room, fantastical decor, age-appropriate challenges, and an ice cream parlor. I heard tell of a princess party with a kids-only room that parents weren't allowed in! (Though parents could view the secretive activities on the monitor in the other room XD.) If you like this kind of thing, you really should check them out! Or, offload the kids for an hour here while you hang out with your honey and a beer at Quarter Celtic across the parking lot. read more

Escape in Time - This escape room also has an ice cream parlor!! - Escape Games Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

I came here with my family to do an escape room and the staff are super friendly. The room was super awesome and set up well! They have an ice cream shop in the back which you get a free scoop once you complete the room. Definitely worth checking out one of their rooms. read more

We did the captain Morgan and Amazon. They were both super fun!! The workers make it a great experience and they have an ice cream parlor too! read more

This was so much fun. The rooms are beautiful and have great details. The moderator was great at helping us when we asked for a hint. Well worth the money. read more

We had guests in town and needed some family-friendly entertainment that would excite my 8-year-old while also engaging the teenagers. Escape in Time's 'Captain Morgan' room was a huge success! Not only did we just beat the room with moments to spare, but everyone was interested and involved from beginning to end. The ice cream at the end was an added bonus and the staff is fantastic! You can tell they truly put their hearts into it all. We'll definitely be back. read more

Really nice staff and place went there for swing dance lessons highly recommended those they are Thursdays at 6 and the ice cream soda was very good as well. read more

Such a great business. We are new escape room attendees. We've visited Escape in Time 3 times in the last 2 weeks. Twice with family visiting and a third time as a last minute birthday party. What an amazing experience all 3 times. Ryan was our monitor for the Cookie Caper. He played the excitement of an elf perfectly. A young lady helped us navigate through Captain Morgan. She loved our outfits and had the perfect accent. As for the birthday party, the fairy Godmother and St George we're fantastic additions and help for the girls. We left tonight and my daughter said this was the best birthday she had ever had. If you get the chance to book a party here, the owners go above and beyond to make the children feel apart of the theme and to feel special. Thank you for all that you have done for us in the past 2 weeks. We will share the business and we WILL be back! read more

We had such a great visit our first time to this family-owned escape room. Upon entering the business the decorations were fantastic and we were greeted right as we walked in the door! You can tell that a tremendous amount of thought went into the game we played (Egyptian-themed). Our game master was in character the entire time the room was explained to us and that was awesome! We weren't quite sure when/if the game ended but we were so appreciative that we were asked for our feedback on the room because you could tell that they really valued their guest's experience! We finished a really great night with Blue Bell Ice Cream at Pop's Ice Cream shop. A member of our group even got a creation called "The Amazon Cone". We are really looking forward to going back and trying their other escape rooms! read more

Went here and tried out the "Amazon" themed escape room. Was a 8/10 in difficulty, but the room was a lot different from the other ones we have done. It was okay, not lots of riddles to be solved, it was mostly trying to find a key for everything. ‍ Not as good as I had expected it to be. I would try out a different company if you want to be more engrossed in the story. read more

The actual escape room experience was great, so there's that. However, we went a couple days ago and found that no one there was masked, despite the state mandate. This is clearly for political reasons judging by the campaign literature they have displayed. (I'll also put here that employees are open carrying, possibly just by shoving guns into the back of their waistbands, in case that is relevant to any readers.) We were in close contact in an enclosed space with an unmasked employee giving us loud instructions, as well as with the unmasked employee who oriented us to the place and with the unmasked one who checked us out at the end. Okay, people let politics lead them to make bad decisions. It's their problem. But my seven-year-old just tested positive for covid and is the sickest he's been in years. Fever, trouble breathing, vomiting, lethargy. I am extremely angry. Edit to add: my 74-year-old mother, who was also with us, has also tested positive. read more

Service: the amazing people. Who work and run these escape rooms are awesome! They very kind and our game master even got into character. It was an awesome experience the room was a challenge but still fun!!! We enjoyed our experience so much we are coming back again Sunday to play a different room. They really make sure that they sanitize and make sanitizer available to everyone. All in all a clean fun place to spend an hour! Ice Cream: the blue monster, that is all you need in your life! Plus the prices are good! UPDATE!!!! This was an absolutely amazing experience again and then the kids went to the kids room, which was awesome!!! They had a parent monitor you can watch them work their way though and they had help for the amazing cast members!! This was so great! I can't wait to come back to this locally owned business!!! read more

We had a fabulous time at Escape in Time. Even my teenagers enjoyed it. All of the staff was very friendly and we love supporting family owned businesses. The escape room was at the right level of difficulty that we didn't give up nor was it too easy to solve. Our only issue was that the maps gps sends you to the wrong location. read more

Came with a group of pre-teens for a bday party and the staff and room was so fun totally coming back with my grown up friends!!! Did the Captain Morgan room and not only had fun figuring out the room but also actually learning a little bit of real history facts! The room was difficult but the hints (when we asked) were good enough to help get us through after a little extra thinking. AND there's a little ice cream shop connected! Yum!!! read more

This is such a great place! You really feel like friends of the family that owns and works here. We've done two rooms and my 8 year old and older son enjoyed solving the rooms. It's a very warm, welcoming, and fun experience. They show you the room in character, it's so fun! read more

There are escape rooms in town with fancier technology, but they don't have the charm and wholesomeness that Escape in Time does. Every room has an "intro" with a live actor that really makes the rooms memorable. These guys really put a lot of love into their rooms and it shows. read more

Was a blast! Connie was great help with super useful hints! We did the hardest room and wouldn't have completed it without her help! Great fun even for a bunch of 20 something's! read more

We had a blast, the owners are both very involved and make it a great experience. Highly recommended. Covered parking is a plus! read more
