I've done three of the rooms here and one at their previous location. The rooms since the move…read morehave all been quite a good time, with each posing unique challenges. Tim hosted our most recent visit, and he's a skilled host; definitely had a sixth sense for nudging our "don't give us clues" group when we really needed one! His introductions and post-game wrap-up were amiable and kindly included some special attention for the grade schooler in our adult group. Why short of 5 stars? Like I said, I've been here three times - and on two times, there was a mishap in the room setup. Even though Tim was on top of fixing things, the spell gets broken when you correctly solve a puzzle, then get stuck with no recourse, then the overseer has to give you the answer you already got in order to learn that it's not a player error. The error this time could have been avoided if the designer had made some distinguishing marks on one of two identical items which require unique solutions (keeping it vague here; if you know, you know.) It's frustrating because otherwise the rooms are so good! Good enough that I'm looking forward to my next visit.

This was my first experience with an escape room of any kind. I have to say we had a great time…read more I went with a group of 10 on a Sunday afternoon. Let me start by saying the building is absolutely gorgeous. It still holds tons of the old Bank ledgers, furniture and apparatus. Steve was more than generous with his time and knowledge, giving us a lot of history and a tour. Without giving too much away, I will say it was a lot more than just a jigsaw puzzle. There were trick lighting effects, audio effects, math puzzles, Etc. Plus there were red herrings. Deciphering the special effects was key to figuring out how to steal the gold! Marietta is a neat little town. Eclectic eateries (at least 4, plus just 5 minutes away is the amazing Bully's Restaurant and Pub), a brewery and lots of great architecture. Plan a day, I don't think you'll be disappointed

It starts as soon…read moreas you walk into the building, with the game taking place in an actual bank and vault with over 100 years of history. The structure itself is the biggest character in the game, but one that you must not overlook. Then you are warmly greeted by Steve and Anna, the owners and restorers of the building and creators of the game. They take you into the board room for your overview, instructions and intro video. When that is finished, you are led into the area of the bank that has the game. The game itself is rather simple, but how you do it is fun. Your goal is to break into the vault, steal the contents, then get to the teller line to make a deposit. You need to interact with the staff during the game, and the staff plays each part in character. That was really cool and very fun. We had our kids play along and they did a great job. When the game is over, Steve gives you a tour of the building and points out some of the historic items that they found. The history of the bank goes back to the 1800s and it is just so amazing to see these elements preserved. Steve and Anna clearly are very much "invested" in the game and your entire experience. This type of dedication not only to the escape game industry but to history itself is a huge part of why this game was a very unique experience for this enthusiast. We had a lot of fun and were glad that we had the opportunity to play First National Escape.

However, we found off street parking right in front of the store which was not a big deal. Our booking time was Sunday at 5pm so the traffic was light. Upon arrival we were greeted by our game master Jessie who explained the house rules of the escape room we selected. We chose "The Precinct" and it was challenging, but we were able to escape. It took us about 60-70 Minutes to escape for a family of four. Without giving too much away there lots of clues that involved math so you have to make sure your math is on point. You have unlimited hints and I think we used about 5 or 6 of them. They will give you a 10 minute warning so use your time wisely. Overall, the room is challenging I think I group of 6 people is the right balance to solved the room given the 1 hour time frame. If you are in area and have time to an hour to spare give them a try. Online booking is the best way to go.

There was some cool interaction with this room for a bit in particular. Another one, Vampires. even though also dark, was setup to light up at all the right times. Vampires is probably very highly rated for escape rooms in the country and was certainly one of my favorite experiences personally. Game master and staff have escape room running down to a science. This company has been here for 7 years and they plan to change Bikers theme soon. The entrance is a bit tricky to find as the website said to go down a set of steps on the side. While this is still true, you need to go down a different flight of stairs w a blue awning instead.

They did the reservations and everything so I can't speak to that. Upon entering one from our group checked in while two of us searched the lobby for handprints to get extra clues. We all signed our waivers and then were guided back behind the curtain to enter our room. The design was great. You really felt like you were in a bar and there was a lot of detail to the decor. We had a little trouble figuring out where to start but we were able to just ask our game master for a clue when needed. It is such a fun, hands on experience. The puzzles were fun. I enjoyed the variety and that it wasn't just figuring out combinations to locks. Unfortunately we didn't escape in time, but just a few more minutes and we would have had it. The four of us all had a great time and though. This was my first experience so I didn't have a lot to compare it to. However it was great and definitely made us fans of escape rooms. We have done one other since and definitely preferred the experience here

My first escape room experience was in Portugal and Lisbon and I really enjoyed those. The puzzles there were more intricate and the props were more thought out and well put together. Comparing my experiences, this place does get the job done, but I felt it was a bit too easy and this was only my third escape room experience. The price is reasonable for the DC/DMV market. Compared to overseas, it was more than double. Still a fun experience and glad they provide an option to try it out in the area.
