I went for a team building experience and it was great to see everyone's different skills come out. Aaron was our game master and we broke out in 58:23 minutes just in time! We played the Casino room which was challenging yet fun! Math and creativity, along with the helpful hints from Aaron, definitely was the key to success! There are maybe 12 different rooms and they're building another currently. The staff is very kind and welcoming. I definitely recommend the Breakout for a fun escape room experience!

We did the Kidnapping 2 room where you are blind folded, our first time doing one like this. There were 2 clues that weren't "working", but our game master paused out time and helped us out. We didn't escape but we definitely enjoyed it and will be back.

The helper was great and she gave us clues on a screen. The props were well marked and we were able to finish and escape within seconds of the one hour mark. I highly recommend this room to anyone looking for a fun, team building, high energy experience! I recommend at least four people per group as it took all four of us working together to solve all the mysteries. I had so much fun that I purchased a package for my family!

We came here with a large group of six for a family event in Des Moinea that would not have us all…read moreoutside sweating. We booked our appointment the day before, so there was not too many open time slots but we ended up selecting the Warlocked 1 scenario. First off, the booking itself was easy. We had no issues with the website. Pricing was comparable to other escape games at around $120 for the 6 of us (two minors, four adults). Parking when we arrived was a little tricky. The building itself is marked only on the door so we drove by one or twice not spotting it. They have no lot for parking, so you have to find a street spot. As for the place itself, staff was nice. The required safety video had us giggling with their quips throughout. The scenario itself was a bit cheesy, but we really enjoyed the full booking being only six people so it was only our family group. The scenario employed some puzzle solutions we hadn't encountered before that made it interesting and the staff clues ensured no massive frusteration. Some elements confused us a bit as the solution required finesse with finicky mechanisms or toed the line of what we thought was allowed in the 'medium to light force' rule. Overall, we found it well-maintained and pretty fun for an afternoon.

Came here after trying an escape room for the first time in Minnesota. We opted for The Cellar…read more I must say that I was a little dissapounted in the room as it felt like there was very little intuitive direction with clues or what to do next. There were very little clues to figure out in order to get out of the room. The whole point was to escape the room, but the attention to detail and searching for putting two and two together was poorly executed. When we figured out the room, we felt like... this was it...? There's got to be more than this... it was just too simple for what we had been used to in our first room at another venue. Maybe try another room at a different time, but I don't know that we will be back anytime soon with their being other escape rooms in the area.

There was PLENTY of space for our hair and makeup and the lighting was great! I loved that there was a little dining area in the back for us to keep drinks and bagels so we could eat breakfast and drink mimosas while getting pampered!! We were able to hook our phones up to the sound system to play our own playlists while we got ready too, which was such a good vibe for the morning of my wedding. I was also REALLY impressed with the customer service - we had a bit of a mix up while booking, and Samantha was INCREDIBLY accommodating. The space was SO cute and felt so special :)

For the price point, we were expecting something higher quality. We messaged beforehand to have a pack n play for our son and when we got to the room, there was black, fuzzy mold growing on multiple bars on the crib. The staff did not seem to think it was a big deal. Aside from that, the room was pretty beat up with scuffs all over and chips out of the cups. The walls were also paper thin. We definitely won't be staying here again and will look for a different Marriott property in the area.
