Looking to do an escape room? GO HERE!…read more I'm visiting from California and had asked my Utah cousins if they'd want to do an escape room. Some were like "what the heck is an escape room?" while others were like "HECK YES!" We did: The Curse of the Black Rose. I have done about a dozen escape rooms by now, all over the country, and LET ME TELL YOU: Escape Gate is one of the best I've ever done. Hands down. I wish they had a location in Orange County so I could take everyone I've ever met! The staff is fantastic, for starters. The game? Freaking amazing. Very well designed, awesome decor, super creepy in the best of ways. This is also the first escape room I've ever done with a live actor and MAN OH MAN did that step it up a major notch! Loved it. DO IT. You'll love it, too. If you don't, well...I'm sorry for you. Seek help. (For the record - we should've escaped WAY sooner but we're FAMILY so we HAD to spend a LOT of time arguing. It's only natural.)

Great experience, great staff!! Really considerate of everyone's needs. We had a few in our group…read morethat get anxious easily, and they took great care of us! Soo many puzzles to sort through Complicated, yet hints if needed. Thank you for a great night! We'll be back for sure

I downloaded yelp just to review this place because it is so incredible!!!! My girlfriend, my…read moresister, and I did the Egyptian themed one and it was easily one of the best escape rooms I've ever done!!! Austin, our guide, was so amazing!!!!! Idk what he's getting paid, but it for sure isn't enough!!! He turned an already fantastic escape room into a truly immersive and magical adventure. I cannot recommend this place enough. 1000/10

The…read morestaff said it is the second hardest one and a bunch of us have never done an escape room before but we solved it. The room was totally cool and the decor was amazing with the secrets and clues. My only complaint is the escape room got kinda toasty. Some AC would have been nice.

I love escape rooms and this one was definitely fun! We did the Lair of Lunacy room which was so…read morefun! The guy checking us in said it was his favorite, so we got lucky getting this room so last minute. The staff was so attentive and was ready whenever we needed clues! We also loved how innovative the room was with the different tricks we had to use to figure out the clues! I loved that it wasn't just a bunch of locks but there were some riddles and other things needed to figure out the clues! I would love to come back here and try another room! The lobby is also so cute and great for pictures!

I like these rooms because they are smaller and can accommodate groups as small as 3!…read more They even had some availability on a busy Friday night which was refreshing. Other escape rooms where saying we had to pay for 4 people minimum even if we didn't have that many people. The staff was very enthusiastic and nice. They explained things completely and made sure we were ready before starting. We tried the mad scientists- "Find the Antidote" room and it was very achievable with only 3 people. As it was happening, the clues seemed hard but then after the fact, it really wasn't that bad. Make sure you are completely doing each lock because I had team members who tried locks and it wouldn't work but when I tried the same thing, it worked for me. They do require masks in the rooms and they sanitize them well after each group.

We were 12 to solve all the puzzles and to get out of the room, which was way too many people. I would strongly recommend booking the whole room for yourself. Puzzles are pretty easy and we were expecting something a little more elaborated. We had fun because we were together but it just feels like they try to put as many groups/people as possible in this truck/day. And gosh.. Please put more AC. 12 people in one small room..we were dying! I have done similar eskaped rooms before and I would not go back to this one..

The puzzles were interesting, though our group of 10 people solved everything in just over 30 minutes (for a 45 minute room designed for 12 people). We're told that we were an exception, so who knows. We all had a blast and were able to talk about communication and team strengths afterwards. This was perfect for what we needed.

We've done several escape rooms, so I feel like we know the drill and what to expect. Each one is…read moreunique in that the clues are different, the room setup is themed and you never know just what type of puzzles or challenges you'll have to master to get out. This room started out great-we did the Lair of Lunacy and were appropriately briefed that we would start in the dark and what we specifically needed to "solve" to get out. (I'm purposely leaving out details to not give anything away.) Part way through our time, we came across a clue that was very robust and even had some directions that should have led us to solving that piece. One member of our group spent a ton of time on this one challenge and grew increasingly frustrated with it. He knew how to solve it, but it was not leading anywhere. Another part of the room had a similar clue that looked to be well-thought out and complex, but it never morphed into anything that would help us proceed. We eventually made it out of the room and asked about those two clues. We were told that they were both "red herrings." We believe that they were originally part of the game and that some of the components malfunctioned and they had to remove those clues. You can still get out of the room, obviously, but those items were major time wasters. I understand placing things to add confusion and that not everything leads you to a clue, but these were so complex and "in your face" that I truly believe they were originally part of the game. It's too bad, because what we think they were supposed to do would have been really cool.

We went as a group of three to Maddy's room and it was an amazing time. Even though it's new,read more

Unlike other escape rooms that are pretty repetitive, in this one, every puzzle was unique, and also felt super awesome to figure out. Definitely good for any age. I'm 23 and loved it, and my younger brother is 13 and he loved it. Small spoilers for the room below!! No puzzle answers though They had a 'working canon' that let out mist, a talking parrot, and all sorts of puzzles would move/open things. It felt so exciting every time.
