We are not escape room newbies, and this was fun! We did the mob boss room and escaped. There were 5 of us, 4 adults and a tween. We all enjoyed it. Before starting, staff went over the types locks in the room and how to use them. That helps relieve some potential frustration. Each puzzle made sense, and that's rare. I do wish there were more of a story to follow, but it was enjoyable. read more

First time visiting an escape room so I have nothing to base this off of but this place was very well run. We did a NY Subway theme room. Everything worked, lots of challenges. It was a nice challenge. I we escaped with just over a minute remaining. I think everyone in our group would return and try another room read more

My kids and I have visited twice so far. It was an amazing time! The rooms are fun and difficult! However, my kids and I were able to escape both rooms. We plan to visit again to finish the other rooms. Great outing for groups! I recommend at least 4 people. read more

Nestled in a strip mall is an inconspicuous business front that will you to an hour's worth of fun activity! Appointment time for 4p, the employees were ready to get us going on time. We filled out the waiver forms... note we had 3 minors and so 3 of us adults each covered a minor on our form. Our room was Face Off and with a Group of 7, we split 3 and 4. Without giving away anything, I'll say that this room is definitely not easy and we appreciated the clues given throughout the activity. Very engaging and perplexing at times. Great to get the brain going and teamwork. read more

We have done all but one of the rooms and have enjoyed them all. The staff are friendly and as helpful as you'd like them to be. The rooms are thoughtfully designed and interesting. read more

We had a great time at Escape This Frederick. The Subway room was smart, well laid out, and engaging without being overwhelming. Trinity was a thoughtful and attentive host with just the right amount of guidance. This was Greg and Anita's first escape room, and it was an excellent introduction. Highly recommend. read more

A Seriously Fun Time -- Even If We Barely Escaped! Went to Escape This Frederick for the first time with some friends and honestly... 10/10 would get fake-trapped again. The room was just the right level of "oh no we're not gonna make it" challenging -- super immersive, great props, and nothing felt cheap or thrown together. You can tell they put effort into making it feel real (which is probably why we all screamed at least once). Staff was awesome -- friendly, welcoming, and clearly enjoying what they do. The one-hour time limit kept the pressure on in the best way. Yeah, it's a little pricier than some other spots, but totally worth it. Quality rooms, solid experience, and a great group activity if you're in the Frederick area. Already planning our next room! read more

My wife and I went here and it was our first time trying an escape room. Everyone there was very nice, was helpful and explained things well. We did The Carnival since that seemed to be the best for beginners. We did not manage to finish but was told we finished 75-80%. For walking in and not knowing what to expect, we had a lot of fun. My wife was stubborn about using the help option so we did as much as we could without assistance. Everything was run on time and we enjoyed ourselves. We will have to return sometime with more than just 2 of us. read more

What fun! This was my first experience doing an escape room and I can't wait to do another! I was nervous at first due to the secrecy, but I'm thankful for the secrecy after the fact. The Escape This team was great to work with! We will be back! read more

Escape This - Beat the 18% success rate haunted room! - Escape Games Near Me - Frederick, Maryland

Not a paid review, just thorough . Escape This Frederick! My husband and I enjoy going to escape rooms. We went through all of the rooms and beat each one at ETF. Out of all of the rooms there, our favorite was cell block 1. We do recommend 4 people for this room if you're new to escape rooms. I don't want to give anything away about the rooms in this review. Overall, the experience at ETF was great. Friendly staff, good effects, and the puzzles aren't so difficult to where you get frustrated. You do get a prize to take home if you beat one specific room! Each room incorporates the puzzles well into the theme and the hints are great when needed. They don't have lockers for your belongings but they do have hooks in each room to place your items. All of the rooms remain unlocked while you're in there. If you're new to escape rooms we highly recommend getting your feet wet with ETF. Weekday rooms are a little cheaper than weekend rooms. If I remember correctly, weekend rooms are $45/pp and weekday rooms are $42.5/pp. However, if you rebook before you leave they do give you a discount on your next room. We hope you enjoy ETF! read more

Had a great experience at Escape This (Frederick). The staff were polite, friendly, and helpful. We did two different rooms with differing levels of difficulty, and each group had a blast. Even those who had done escape rooms elsewhere in the past and thought them just okay, had so much fun at Escape This. We had people ages 16-60 in our groups, and everyone was engaged and wants to try more of their rooms. read more

Phenomenal! Booked two group sessions over the course of two weeks because we loved the first one so much that we wanted to take advantage of the same day booking discount. My first time ever coming here we did the room called Agent 101 (I think) basically it has to do with a hacker. I was a bit worried that it would be cheesy but I was so pleasantly surprised. Five of us including a 7 year old had an absolute blast and we were able to figure it out with 7 minutes to spare. The room was fun but challenging! Since we loved this room so much we booked Cell Block 1. Not sure if we were off this day but it felt like this room was much harder than the last one, but in the best way! We finished this room with ONE MINUTE to spare and we were sweating with adrenaline. If you're looking for something fun to do together with friends or family or even just date night, try this out. These guys know what they're doing! read more

Loved the experience. We did Agent 101. Then went next door to showroom for dinner (yum!). While we talked at dinner we decided to see if we could go back tonight for one more. We're doing cell block next. Hope we can break out! Special thanks to Alex for helping us book the room on short notice. We're looking forward to this. We also heard some new rooms are going to be added soon. Can't wait to try more. read more

Purchased a gift voucher for a game for 4 players in December 2024 and owner will not honor it in Jan 2025. Forcing price increase for all players and stated to me there is no broom buying his gift vouchers. Ver disappointed in this vendor. Buyers Beware. read more

We had a blast at this place! Alex the owner was incredible and super accommodating. Our group was in town for the weekend for a family event and we decided last minute to play this escape room. We first signed up for the crime scene room but we were able to switch to the mafia room. The room was very clean and the staff was great with giving us helpful hints to redirect us when we were getting further from the solution, but the hints weren't excessive enough to ruin anything. We had a great time, and we were able to finish with 2 minutes left. Overall thought it was a great experience with super thought out rooms that were fun to execute. I wish we were in town longer to do more rooms! Thanks for such a fun time! read more

I have done a few escape rooms but this one has to be my favorite. The attention to detail in the room and puzzles was complex and a lot of fun. The staff was attentive and got us very excited to do the haunted room. This their hardest room and has a few scares too. We didn't survive but we has a blast trying! We will be back to try more escape rooms. read more

Very fun place and nice workers. The room was challenging, unique, and creative. My daughter and her friends really worked together to figure things out. read more

My husband and I adore this place. So far we've done 2/5 rooms and we can't get enough. We keep coming back every other week for our date night. The rooms are innovative and make great use of technology. The puzzles keep you thinking and the objectives and stories suck you in. It's easy to get lost in the world that they've so lovingly made for each room. Coming home from escaping (with 17 minutes to spare) my husband was lamenting that we have 3 more rooms to go and then we'll be done! But we trust that the Escape This team will keep coming out with new and exciting challenges for all of us to enjoy! read more

My wife and I booked our first escape room here to celebrate our wedding anniversary this past Saturday. We went with the "Haunted" themed room. We signed our waivers and started our game. It was pretty difficult but fun. We went in just wanting a good time and had no real expectations of solving the whole room. Being rookies we got hung up on a lot of stuff but the staff member observing our game was super helpful and generous with clues. They gave us just the right amount of gentle nudges to keep us from getting frustrated AND setting us up to get our own solutions. Needless to say, we didn't solve all the puzzles. We did have a fantastic time. The room it's self was amazingly set up. It has the feel of an old school haunted house with some surprises. The dim lighting was an issue for me because my eyes are old. One of the extra props did not work and while worth mentioning here it really didnt detract from the whole experience. The staff were super helpful and gave good instructions (anyone reading this - pay attention to the instructions on how to open specific locks in the game). The rooms are a little more expensive on the weekends but worth the money. Thanks to the friendly staff and good times we will be coming back here AND supporting the other escape rooms in the area. read more

We had a lot of fun! Creative and challenging puzzles. Highly recommend! Great technology use! Cannot wait to see other rooms!

I treated my grandchildren, 16-23yrs to the Escape Room. It was money well spent--they loved it! Not sure how to comment on ambiance since it was in a locked room, other than It was clean. The gentleman at the front desk was sociable and explained everything well. read more

Escape This has the best rooms we have ever done. (We've done three of their rooms). They're so incredibly well thought out, creative and well designed! The staff is super helpful for hints. Matthew and John were so welcoming and fun! They were wonderful hosts. We can't wait to come back! read more

It was a fun family get together the grandkids really enjoyed trying to solve the puzzles!! We made it out with 2 minutes to spare in the mob boss room. Very challenging read more

OMG! This place is awesome. My wife and I have done a lot of escape rooms over the years but this was definitely one of our top experiences. We booked Mob Boss that night, but when we arrived, Alex, knowing we were experienced escape artists, nudged us to try Agent 101. While we booked this last minute based on another gamemaster from another business entirely's recommendation and really wanted to book Haunted, this was a close second for us so we decided to do that room instead. Alex could not have been more spot on! We thoroughly enjoyed this room and to hear that all the escape rooms they have are solely constructed by the dynamic duo of Alex and his wife adds a lot to what they are doing here. I could not recommend this place any higher. We're actually planning another trip to New York City for our anniversary in a couple of weeks and and making this place a spot we are visiting along the way even though this is a bit out of the way for us. read more

So much fun! All the employees seem to love working here, they're always super excited to explain the themes of the rooms. In the last two weeks I've come here 3 times with my friends and we had a lot of fun getting stumped and figuring out puzzles together. Mad Lab was very well thought out and Mob Boss was difficult but we managed to escape with 5 minutes left. Me and my friend screamed our lungs out while trying to escape Haunted, but the Manager wasn't angry with us at all. For their 2 year anniversary, they had free drinks and desserts for everyone. I will definitely be back with my team this upcoming weekend for Escape This. read more

We love this place! So far we've done Mob Boss and Crime Scene. Mob Boss is our favorite so far but both were wonderful! Can't wait to come back and do Haunted! read more

The only problem I had with this is it was over in an hour. Our group has done the two hardest rooms and both were very challenging.

It is a great way to spend an evening. read more

Friendly staff greeted us and made sure we understood what we needed to know to have a good experience, like how the different types of locks we may encounter functioned and some basic rules to follow. We had a really fun time and succeeded in our attempt with less than 10 minutes to go, though we did end up using all three of our hints. They have excellent COVID precautions as well, rooms are cleaned after every use. Definitely coming back again to try a trickier room! read more

Loved the entire experience! I went for a date night on a whim because I've heard of escape rooms before but had never actually gone. It ended up being so much fun and a great date idea! We did the crime scene room. It was a lot of working together and small successes that eventually led to us escaping with a little over 6 minutes left (out of the 60 minutes given). Most definitely going back!!! read more

We had a great experience in the Mob Boss room! Our room master was excellent and helped to make the experience even more enjoyable. We only had 2 in our "group", so we'll blame that on not being able to make it out before time was up, lol! It was a lot of fun and worth the money! read more
