There were a few red herrings, which made it a lot of fun, and a few moments where I definitely was frustrated a clue too me so long to get- it was really clever attention to detail They have a live clock in the room & pop-in to ask if we wanted clues or needed assistance; there are time warnings well notified- it was a good balance of support Would definitely return to try other rooms (p.s everything was super clean & ample hand sanitizer everywhere!)

Came here to play the Monopoly themed escape room. There were 5 of us in our group for the room…read more I would say this room was very hard. I've done escape rooms with myself and another person, 3 people, and 8 people. This was a struggle. It was fun once we realized what a clue was for. But honestly the clues weren't obvious sometimes for what the clue went to. A few things in our room were malfunctioning during our time, which caused us to think the answer or solution we did was wrong. This caused us to waste time. At one point, we were asking for help. A different game master came on to help. Then it switched back to our game master but we had to repeat our question to get help. It was fun in the end but the clues felt like they weren't obvious to help us get to the solution or the next clue. There were also several objectives in the room that took all 5 of us at once. Some parts we could have used another person or two.

But let me tell you we still had to press that "hint" button because there were a few times we didn't know where the items were. It had my teenagers thinking outside the box which I loved the most.

We booked with Mission Escape Rooms for a fun weekend activity to do. They are located inside…read moreArundel Mills Mall, in Neighborhood 2. This was my first time trying Mission Escape. We booked online in advance to get the time slot we wanted, but if your schedule is more flexible, there is currently a 15% discount special for walk-ins through 11/2/2025 (there are plenty of ways to kill time in this giant mall). I'm used to being paired with strangers, but each booking with Mission Escape is private, so your group will have the room to yourselves to figure out the puzzles and clues. It is an experience after all, so despite booking by room, you still pay per person (~$40). You should get there a few minutes early to sign the waiver. They also have restrooms inside to take care of business before you go locking yourselves in a room for an hour (technically 50 minutes). After we filled out the waivers, we were escorted to our room and the gamekeeper gave us an overview of the experience. Pictures are not allowed and phone use is not really allowed, other than to use as a flashlight or calculator. The room also had a small clipboard with paper and a pen if you needed scratch paper. For the fall season, they have some spookier themed rooms. I'm not into scary, so we did the Fantastical Chocolate Factory room (naturally). The room has a 6.5/10 difficulty, which I would say is one of the easier rooms. The rooms are small. We were a group of two, and three would've felt like a crowd... but they allow you to squeeze in up to eight people! Based on the room difficulty and our experience with escape rooms, two was plenty. They have an intercom system if you need to patch in for clues. They'll also give you warnings as time elapses (20 minutes remaining, 10 minutes remaining, etc.). We did need to ask for one clue towards the end... beware of red herrings (but that's part of the fun). Our goal in the chocolate factory room wasn't to escape, but rather to discover the secret recipe for the everlasting gobstopper. By "recipe," they mean "ingredient," which felt a bit anticlimactic at the end. I would've appreciated more debriefing at the end of the experience. With 10 minutes remaining, I went into panic mode and was able to crack the locks with the information that we had, but I'm not sure if we solved every clue as intended. When we "escaped," a staff member opened the door, congratulated us, and escorted us back to the front to snap a picture with their photobooth props. Other escape room companies have better branding to advertise their name, or allow you to at least snap one picture to showcase the room. Overall, it was a fun way to spend an evening. The decor inside the room was realistic to fit with the theme, the puzzles are a good balance of feeling challenging enough to make you problem-solve, but not so much to make it feel impossible, and there were subtle clues in the room to guide you along without having to ask for help constantly. I would book another experience with Mission Escape Rooms.

This was my sister's FIRST time doing an escape room, and I am so glad we chose Escape This…read moreFrederick! It was pouring down rain the day we went, so having a fun indoor activity was perfect. We did the Mob Boss room, and it did NOT disappoint. It was just the two of us because the rooms are private, and I actually loved that. We were able to work together, figure out our individual strengths, and tackle the clues as a team. And guess what? WE ESCAPED! We had a few clues along the way, but we ended up solving the room with just under TWO MINUTES left on the clock! Talk about cutting it close! We were so proud of ourselves when we got out. Molly was the staff member who helped us get checked in, sign the waivers, and get everything set up. She was friendly and helpful and made the whole process easy. And they don't just send you on your way after you escape. They have props available for pictures, and Molly took some photos of us afterward. It was such a cute way to remember the experience. My sister had so much fun that she immediately wanted to do ANOTHER escape room. Unfortunately, they didn't have another opening that day, but they did give us information about rebooking and a discount for coming back. I also really appreciated that they offer discounts for first responders. My sister is an officer, so that's an especially nice perk. There are several escape-room options in the Frederick area, but I'm really glad this is the one we chose. It was fun, challenging without being frustrating, and a great experience for both a first-timer and someone who's done escape rooms before. Definitely recommend if you're looking for something different and fun to do--especially on a rainy day!

But we still get joy out of doing well designed escape rooms (this location for Dr. Madblood). I like that they have lockers to store your belongings. Our game master was great! She is very passionate & enthusiastic! She was kind to say we were only two steps away from solving the room. But when we asked what the remaining steps were, haha it was way more than two! There are some multi-layered puzzles. Just don't make the same mistakes we did. Doing the same thing over & over again or trying different variations of it and expecting different results. It means you have to look at it differently. Also curiosity and determination will help. The props are way better at this location than the Easton one, or at least than the Ghost Ship one. It was nice to chat with our game master & another employee after our game. It's refreshing to see employees who enjoy their job and are excited about creativity in the rooms.

It took a lot of thinking to connect the clues, and we ended up using quite a few hints to help us piece things together. Even with the difficulty, it was a really enjoyable experience and kept us engaged the whole time. The location is also a plus since it's in an outdoor mall, so there are plenty of spots to grab a bite to eat right next door. Overall, we had a blast and would definitely go back to try another room!
