We have very different types of thinkers in our family, so this had something that allowed each of us to shine in our own way. I really appreciated the experience given all but 1 of us had never done anything like this before. Highly recommend.

After escaping the room (with only 46 seconds left...*pants), I was blown away by how creative and…read moretechy this place was. Out of maybe the 5 or 6 different places I've been to for an escape the room (some out of state, some around the area), this was my favorite one. With only 3 reviews seen on Yelp, I was a little hesitant to choose this place over so many others in the area. Groupon gave us a good price, so we went with this, and I'm glad we did. We did the "my crazy ex" room, which was great, and I hope to be back for the high school reunion, which the owner said had some scary features added to it. He said he used to work with haunted houses too, so I'm pretty interested in seeing what that one is like. It is similar to other escape the rooms where you find clues and input it in the locks to unlock the various locks in the room, but this was was so techy that they used other creative tactics to unlock boxes, drawers, etc. To be honest, I at first thought it was a little lame because I thought the person watching us just opened things with a press of a button when we did different actions, but I asked later on, and he showed us how different things worked. Hard to describe without giving spoilers of the room, but I'd have to say I was seriously mind blown about how creative things were and how fancy the technology was here. I loved this factor added into it. They have a 10 minute game that's only $5 a person on certain hours of weekdays, so we will most likely be back for this too! I definitely was hesitant at first to come here due to a few things (barely any Yelp reviews, homemade looking winner/loser signs/a few things that made it not look as professional or techy (the Hotmail email address :D....sorry, break escape for throwing you under here), but after experiencing their room, I'd really have to say there is a mastermind here who made these and put these rooms together. Not sure how this place only got 3 reviews, but I'd highly recommend coming here and I'll be back for sure! Thanks break escape!

I totally don't remember the name of our game master, but I felt that she wasn't really watching what we were doing, because when we asked for clues, she mentioned things that we already did at first.

I definitely enjoyed and want to go to more escape rooms now!

There's plenty of parking which is always a plus. As soon as you walk up to the entrance you'll see a sign for Odyssey. We came 15 minutes before our reservation time. During this time they just want to review the safety guidelines with you before they taken you into the room for your game. We did the "Towering Inferno" and unfortunately did not make it out alive. The rooms are clean and the staff are all friendly. I don't have other places to compare to but in my opinion I can say this place is low key in technology. When we first entered the room, a staff member gives you the plot by reciting the story. I guess I wanted a more dramatic storyteller but it felt like a low key lecture I guess? 2 people can definitely solve it but it would've been better if we had at least 3 or 4 people. For this challenge, I would say about half of it is solved on computers. The other half are lock combinations. At the end we were told the last bits of info of how we could have finished and escaped. They will take a picture for you inside the room at the end and also offer a group picture with signs in front of their Odyssey sign in the main lobby. I felt like this was a pretty good experience. Again, the space is clean and I am interested in coming back to try their other escape rooms. Don't try to walk-in, make sure to make a reservation on their site! Google for a discount code before you reserve a room. I also saw people mention something on Groupon for deals.

During our visit, my friend was told his card didn't go through, so I paid the $42 charge with my debit card. It later turned out that his card had actually gone through, so we were both charged for the same visit. I called and was told to wait to see if the charge would drop off, which I did. After it posted, I called back and was told they couldn't even see the transactions from that day and that they needed to speak with a manager. I called again the following day, and I was told they were still waiting to hear back from the manager with no update or timeline. I understand mistakes happen, but the lack of communication and the delay in resolving this has been frustrating. I hope this can be addressed soon so this doesn't have to be taken further through my bank.

Second time here! First was for the mystery mini golf, second for an escape room. The mystery mini…read moregolf was brand new at the time I went. The concept was unique. In addition to playing mini golf, you're trying to solve various riddles at each hole to solve a mystery. I was hoping the prize for solving would be more interesting than a sticker, but it was still a pretty good time. I'd probably stick to Puttshack next time I wanna play mini golf, though. For the escape room, my boyfriend and I did Mystery Manor. With the additional price of unlimited hints (I think this helped), our price for two was around $100. I thought it was pretty expensive, but after the experience, I do think it was pretty worth it. There were many nuances to the escape room, which included various rooms and additional spaces you unlock by solving each part. At the end, they offer to take a picture for you and give you a little envelope to open (if you get out). Overall, positive experience! I'd return for the escape room.

The entrance is a bit small, especially if there are parties waiting or finishing. Staff: very friendly and humorous. They were very nice when we booked on the spot, helping us get started with the game, and during the game, too. Game: we just decided to try this place out with reservations at around 8pm we picked the poker one and I think they said that was a medium level or so. I'm not very good at these games but it was a very good experience. We asked for hints when needed and they provided subtle suggestions which made it more fun for us instead of being direct (they checked with us prior). I also appreciated them asking if we wanted pictures after playing and allowing us to be in the room for that. This escape room was simple, as in there were two rooms, we didn't have to crawl or go through a tone of rooms and such. BTW, with the 3 of us total, we escaped with about 7-9min left haha. I finally escaped an escape room! Also they have bathrooms and if we needed water or just a breather/destress, we were free to go out and do so which was thoughtful.
