Escape Room Virginia Peninsula - Sisters birthday - Escape Games Near Me - Hampton, Virginia

If there's an escape room nearby considered it booked! We narrowly escaped Cabin 11 with 1minute & 31 seconds left, & this was with hints. We were a group of 3 maximizing our trek to the Peninsula. Even though I prefer staying on the south side, I quite favor this location over the VB one. Our game master, Akira was energetic, enthusiastic and very patient with us from greeting us in the lobby through the end of the game. A walkie-talkie is your communication device. We had some oversights & for those who struggle with presbyopia & small print it can also add to the challenges. Haha funny but not funny, just wait. Just make sure to have several people in your group double check the code when plugging in your answers. We usually do that, but for some reason, we managed to still do that & not open the lock & actually have the correct answer, thus eating up some of our time. Per our game master, Cabin 11 is considered the most difficult of the current three rooms. My only recommendation is to follow up with replacement of dried up markers. Ours died on us. But fortunately, the group was able to power through ;-) Not a biggie. Overall we had a good time, but we didn't truly feel as if it was a well merited escape. :-P read more

Escape Room Virginia Peninsula - Escape Games Near Me - Hampton, Virginia

This was our third escape room experience. I booked for my husband's birthday. Some room features for the game (clues) weren't working and the AC was not working. We enjoyed the experience nevertheless. Hope these issues are resolved given the cost I'd just expect a smooth experience. read more

Staff was nice and did the best with what they had. But the bar is low. The clues made no sense and were frustrating. We're not dumb and know how to play escape rooms since we have done many in the past. But after completing all their rooms and finding most are this way, I guess these just aren't for us. Also was discouraging to see AI generated images everywhere both in the lobby and in the rooms. I would not be shocked if that's why the clues are so terrible. read more

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY. PLEASE!!! So.... it seems everyone found this escape room by Groupon. There are other local ones that blow this place out of the water. If you Check in on Yelp you get a sticker. It is in Peninsula Town Center... by Five Guys... in a little breeze through... there is a door for a building I think the Chamberlin?? BUT you have to go in there and go to the 2nd floor... there was not sign telling you to go in there. We drove around waiting to see a business sign. We finally called and after MUCH confusion they said they were in that building. The place smelled very musty, dusty, and dirty. The bathroom smelled like someone just poured an ash tray in the trash. It was a very strong cigarette smell. The place was not welcoming or inviting. When we walked in we kind of stood there waiting since no one was there and then finally a staff member came out. The Gamemaster was so rude. She said you are only supposed to get 3 hints but she does not keep count, just don't ask her every 5 minutes... she said that like 3 times. It was very odd because they said there were two cameras in the room so that they could see us and that there was a walkie-talkie to use to ask if we needed a clue. We asked if we could have a clue but it took a while for the Gamemaster to reply. Obviously she was not watching the cameras because she was asking what we had done so far, what box we had left, asking had we opened this or that. So she obviously had no idea where we were at. The room was so dusty it was disgusting. We could tell where you never needed to look because there was piles of dust. We looked under things and the other friend accidentally put their hand under the bed and it was covered in dust. I'm really disappointed because we were super excited about going here and the whole thing just turned out terrible and I would never recommend it to anyone. This was our second time at an escape room. We went to a previous place, the game master was so nice there, they could see you, they could hear you, and you just said can I have a clue, you did not use a walkie-talkie. I guess that is just outdated? Finally when we Escape the Room the girl wrote A Time on the board but that was not the correct time, the point of the escape room I feel like is that it's so exciting that it gets down to minutes and seconds before you're able to escape. She just wrote the minutes on there and I said what about the seconds? I did make her change it. We worked hard to get out. When we did find the hidden item in the room we just open the door and kind of stood there until a worker saw us. They said okay well I guess you are done. If you want to take a picture you can but you don't need to. We decided to take a picture but we couldn't send it to ourselves or anything and she didn't offer to take one on our phone. Another place I went when they took the photo, you were able to get it sent to you which was pretty awesome so all in all please do not go here. Do not waste your time. read more

My husband and I enjoyed a super fun date starting at the Escape Room Virginia Peninsula! Neither of us had ever done an escape room before but we received a Groupon to this location for Christmas and checked it out in April. It's located on the second floor of a building in the Peninsula Town Center near Jimmy Johns. There were plenty of signs in and outside the building letting us know where to go. There was also plenty of parking nearby on the street, as well as a couple of parking lots that wouldn't be a long walk away. Someone greeted us when we arrived, took us to the room we had reserved online, and gave instructions. After asking if we had any questions, she started our hour and left the room. The instructions were clear and we were told we could ask for unlimited hints using a walkie talkie. We chose The Great Estate Mystery. We had a blast finding clues and working our way to solving the mystery, which we were able to do with 2-3 hints and only a few seconds remaining. We both really enjoyed the whole experience and would definitely do it again- in one of the other themed-rooms! read more

Escape Room Virginia Peninsula - Photo area - Escape Games Near Me - Hampton, Virginia

A lot, receptionist had no customer service skills, failed to inform me that they had a no refund policy. She was wishy washy with how many people could go in an escape room at once, so we thought it would be fine. We come back and they tell us hard no and no refund. They also had not told me how much it would cost when they initially charged my card (I'm probably should've asked) but that was the worst $121 I've ever spent. DO NOT GO HERE! read more

Awful experience here, had a group of 9, tried to call ahead and no one answered. Got there and they said only one room was available that said it fit 8 people and they told us they could only do 6. Supposedly was $25 per person. Paid for 2 people and was charged $121. Then was denied a refund even when we did not use the room. When asked if we could get a refund the lady there laughed at us. Would definitely rate 0 stars if I could read more

Worst experience in a business I've ever seen. Robbed out of $125 and didn't even get to do the escape room. Online it advertises for large groups but when we walked in and booked they told us only 6 ppl were allowed in. This was after a group of nine of us have already arrived. There was no compensation, no apology for charging us even tho we did NOT even get to do the escape room. I will gladly be slamming this company to everyone I know. I've never even written a review on yelp before but the experience was so awful I had to share so this didn't happen to anyone else. I'd give a zero stars if I could read more

This is not my first time doing an escape room! The place was hard to find. I had to call and ask where they were located and they did not even know near by places. Finally found them. It is within a building on the second floor. There is a bell that goes off to let them know someone has entered and they come from the back area. The place smelled musty and like cigarettes! There was confusion in the being about who was all going in the rooms and we started late. Glad I did not bring a date here. To ask for clues you have to use a walkie talkie and they do not know where you are during the one hour even though there are cameras watching. Very unprofessional! I will not come to back to this location. read more

Escape Room Virginia Peninsula - Escape Games Near Me - Hampton, Virginia

Great time with great friends at a great place! We did Greta's Diner and had such a blast! The theme of the room was 1950's sock hop soda shop. It was so well designed that you felt like you were back in the 1950's, just like Back to the Future! Cleverly well-thought out design in that the clues were clean and simple, so don't over think it!! Very engaging and if you work together as a team, the victory of sweet success is yours to savor!! So if you're looking for a great way to spend quality time AND fun with your pod, check this place out! There is plenty of parking and it's in the midst of plenty of shops and restaurants for pre- or post-game activities, like dinner or browsing. Just be sure to get there early, so you can sign the waivers and get the pre-game instructions prior to the start of what I guarantee you a fun-filled time. Our game master was witty and very accommodating with photos for our group post-game! read more

Business is located in Peninsula Town Center. My friends and I had a great and fun experience. We chose the theme of Greta's Diner which is one of the easier ones. You get 60 minutes to figure out clues. We were able to get out in 41 minutes. Great team building activity. You definitely have to work together to get out of the room. The staff was nice and answered all questions. I will definitely return to try another themed room. read more

Jaidyn was amazing! She brought such fun and mysterious energy to our first escape room in Virginia. We loved getting back our recipe from Greta's Diner! read more

1st time visiting the Escape Room & overall, it was a great experience! Our hostess was aware that it was all of our 1st times there & we all felt she could've explained things a little more than she did. It seemed like she kinda rushed thru what we were suppose to do. Luckily, they give u walkie talkies...in case you need help! I'm glad we had a Groupon...and helpfully we'll have another one when we go back! Oh! We failed our challenge... but was also told that the particular room we were in had a 25% success rate! read more

Escape Room Virginia Peninsula - Escape Games Near Me - Hampton, Virginia

Okay stepping into this place it smells like a room where people willingly try on socks that were rescued from a flood and they are still wet The bathroom is two miles away down a winding hallway of closed business and eggshell walls. Then we find a bathroom and it has a code.. Thanks escape room employees why not tell us we need a code. We go all the way downstairs to find an employee, retrieve the code, and utilize the facilities before we lock ourselves in the room for an hour. The room it self was cool and the clues were cool to try to figure out. My company and I enjoyed working together and it was great team builder. We are definitely doing it again. Just in a different location. I just couldn't stand the smells in there. read more

Shout out to Jaidyn our GM who helped us break and enter into Greta's Diner to retrieve our stolen recipe! It was great fun and she was a great game master who made this escape room such a blast! Would totally recommend to anyone looking for some fun to check this place out and hopefully you get Jaidyn! read more

I've been to escape rooms and this one was the worse. The young lady assisting could hardly do that properly because she admitted to not knowing. The clues were confusing and you couldn't think of them if you tried because the clues were off. $140 wasted but we did have fun however I wouldn't visit this place again. read more

Game master: Jazmina Escaped time: 52 minutes Hints used: 2 Three new individuals under the age of 16 and two experienced individuals. The three girls had a wonderful time. They enjoyed it. Though they did not know what to do at the beginning, they did found the majority of the clues and caught on what to look for and how to put the clues together. The big difficulty that the team had was trying to open the safe because we did not know how to open the safe. Litterially took us eight minutes to open the safe. Overall, it was fun and the girls enjoyed it. read more

Lovely experience. The staff was professional and my family and I had a great time for a reasonable price. Would recommend and would go again. If you're looking for an escape room in rhe Hampton roads area this is a good spot. read more

We visited tonight with four 13 year-olds and completed the Greta's Diner room. So much fun!!! Our host was friendly, super-helpful, and generous with her hints. The girls were proud to have finished the puzzle and had an amazing time. Thank you for a fun evening!! read more

UPDATE 2nd Trip: SAMUEL was an AWESOME host!! The young lady who gave clues was so sweet and patient and even though were a little late due to parking challenges, they STILL gave us our whole hour PLUS some. Best experience hands down. Can't wait to come back again! If you want a SERIOUS challenge, do The Great Estate Escape. ----------- I took my family (including a 6 and 8 year old) to the Cabin 11 escape room tonight thanks to Groupon. Finding the building was a bit tricky but when I called to get help locating them, the representative was extremely pleasant and talked us through how to find them. From the moment we walked in till the moment we walked out we were greeted with smiles and some of the best customer service I've ever experienced . They were extremely responsive to clue requests and talked/walked us through what we missed when it was over and allowed us to escape ‍. The room we chose was a little more challenging than we thought it would be but it was great bonding time and we are DEFINITELY coming back . Look out Greta's Diner!!.....THANKS ESCAPE ROOM PENINSULA for the memories!! read more

Found out about this place through Groupon. Went in the day before to redeem voucher and book reservation. I had so much fun figuring out clues and playing with other adults as well. It was slightly difficult if you are not good with numbers and maps. Def recommend. I would love to see a scary room. Love love loved read more

So much fun!!!!! Employees were great! Greta's Diner was really cleverly constructed! We definitely will go again! read more

Escape Room Virginia Peninsula - Greta's Diner Escape Room - Escape Games Near Me - Hampton, Virginia

Pretty cool experience! I went with some girlfriends to the escape room. First thing I noticed was that the location was a bit difficult to find. We drove past it a number of times before asking someone who directed us to the right place. Once we got to the right building, it looked kind of sketchy. Like a new or empty building but there was a security guard at the front desk to let us know we were in the right place. We made it to the 2nd floor and had to turn some corners before ultimately making it to the room. Once we got it there someone greeted us and got our room started. It was fun! We did Gretas Diner which is meant to be one of their easier rooms though we still needed all 3 clues lol. We had a great time and felt super accomplished once we escaped! read more

We've done two rooms here. They're fairly difficult. The entrance to the rooms has a terrible smell. Smell aside, the first room we did, Cabin 11, was okay. Fairly straightforward escape room with your standard clue to lock scenario. The second we tried to do was Gretas Diner. The lock to the end of the escape room was left open and when we noticed halfway through and opened the lock it ruined the remainder of the room. We were given 50% off our next room, but the main lock being open was a huge oversight and left us a bit frustrated. read more

Aside from smelling like BO, this was pretty fun. Don't be smug when you reserve though- the difficulty levels are legitimate and these things are harder than you'd think! Get a Groupon deal to make it more worth-while. read more

Disorganized. We told them that everyone in our group had done other escape rooms before. I felt like the guy gave away a little too much info and maybe spoiled a thing or two. Also, one of the elements of the room was broken so they swapped it out for something different before we started, but still continued to over-explain the thing we would never even need. It was misleading and caused us to waste time. I've been to better. read more

I was in town for only two days and my friends took me to the Great Estate Burglary for my birthday. Having never done an escape room before, I wasn't sure what to expect. I was thoroughly impressed by the attention to detail each clue had and the way the were all tied together. The music kept us on edge and the clues included several senses. Tim was a great host! We enjoyed it so much that we immediately did another room right after we made it through the first one! Thank you for a great time and a great escape! read more

We just finished the Cabin 11 room and it was awesome. After completing an escape room in Richmond last weekend, we were worried this one wouldn't live up to it but we were wrong! Laura was an awesome game master as well. We were soooooo close to figuring the last clue, but alas we did not. We definitely plan on coming back (probably next weekend!) to play Greta's Diner. read more

My family came here for the first time on a rainy night. I did not know what to expect although I had heard escape rooms described to me before. We were paired with two other small groups, the rules were explained to us, and then we began working hastily using the clues to try to escape from our room within a one hour time limit. When we needed them, we were provided with three hints from the staff, to help us to figure out the clues given to us. This was super fun. I think that it would be a great activity for teens up to seniors. read more

Escape Room Virginia Peninsula - Escape Games Near Me - Hampton, Virginia

We enjoyed doing the The Great Estate Burglary, even though we had a small party! The room was challenging but not impossible! Alissa hints were very helpful! Bonus: A special was running and we got 15% off the total bill due to booking online, during the weekday around the early to mid afternoon! Would highly recommend a small or large party to come join in on the fun! The best escape room we've been to so far! read more

60 minutes... In a room... with a group of people... solving puzzles... ransacking furniture... anxiousness and anticipation... all in the hopes of one thing... ESCAPE! If you're up for a team building, mind bending experience and like solving puzzles and unlocking things and are across the HRBT then head on over to this place because you'll be sure to be entertained and have a lot of "A-Ha" moments along the way to solving the mystery and escaping the room. I went with a group of friends to the newest location from Escape Room Virginia located on the Peninsula. Their first location is in Virginia Beach close to Town Center. On our first visit we entered a room where the theme was a dinner party and the objective was to solve puzzles to gain clues to unlocking the safe which holds jewelry that you hope to steal and leave with before the host makes his toast to his guests. You have one hour and without giving too much away you'll have to be very attentive to everything in the room and read clues carefully. The room had a good mix of clever clues that lead to unlocking other locks that help toward the ultimate goal of unlocking the safe. On this visit we did not make it out in time but had a lot of fun! The employees are very nice and concise with their instructions on what the objective is for the rooms and provide you a walkie talkie to communicate to them in case you need help with a clue. You can do this up to 3 times. The props they provide to take a group picture with are cool and appropriate for whatever side you come out on win or lose. Go to this Escape Room if you're looking for a group activity that's different than a night out at the club/bar or the movies. It will stimulate your mind and bring a lot of laughter and appreciation for the game... if you escape! read more
