    We booked with another team of strangers and it was so fun! Our game show host Christian was witty energetic, funny and kept the vibes exciting. We will definitely try this again!

    We didn't just have fun, we had a BLAST! Fantastic team building event for our awesome and amazing coaching staff. We look forward to enjoying this event again.

    Wholesome fun for all. We went with a group of friends & acquaintances. By the end of the show the shared comradery brought us all together .

    Great Big game show is located in Ala Moana close to Target. Why not 5 stars? It is because we had 17 in our party and they said they would accommodate all of us. When we got into the room, we were separated into 2 teams. There were 7 name tags on our side with 7 buzzers - so 14 contestants total. Some of us decided to take turns on the games. Overall - lots of fun! I believe our game host name was Cassie and she was fantastic in her role. If you love playing games, like smack talking with family/friends and are competitive - this is for you. There is no where to sit, so this isn't a place to go for people who can't stand for long periods.

    Great for a group of friends, especially if you're competitive like us, to celebrate a special occasion like a birthday. Good for team building unless you're the type who resents teammates when they mess up. Something different for sure! We had 10 people (5 on each team) which was a good amount. They offer different types of games. We had the original format which includes a variety of different activities that require knowledge as well as some luck.

    Great big game show!

    Olivia did such a great job hosting our game show!!! She was entertaining and engaging! We brought my brother here for his 24th birthday and he had so much fun!

    This was our first time at the Great Big Game Show and it was amazing! All of the staff was super nice and really made you feel welcome. We had Connor as our host and he was wonderful! He was really great about hyping us up for every game and it felt like we were on a real game show. I would definitely come back again! I've always wanted to be on a game show and this really lived up to the hype!

    Winners!!

    At this point I've done 6 of their 7 escape rooms, so you could say I'm a fan. Quality rooms,…read moreinteresting puzzles (beyond just "find the four-digit code" over and over), surprising twists, high-quality props and staging. The unlimited hints have come in handy a number of times! Gold Rush remains the fam favorite, for spoiler reasons I won't get into here, followed by Art Heist and Playground (so great that they have an escape experience for a bigger group!) We did Special Ops yesterday, which was challenging with four kids...let's just say they hit that hint button more than once. The staff is always incredible - helpful, patient, funny, engaged - and always goes above and beyond with all their customer interactions.

    This has to be the funnest escape rooms that we have done!! so far we just have one more to do. We…read moredid two in Las Vegas and four here. So fun that we started in Las Vegas in January... it's April and we have 1 more till we have done them all. The staff here are so fun, energetic, and the location is perfect at Ala Moana. It's on the target end of the mall. Parking is easy. While Parking is at Ala moana depending on what time you go. The rooms are so fun and we made- such good effects. I like that the clues are endless however as a family, we try not to use the clues. We make it a thing that we "agree" if we're going to use a clue The past few rooms that we have done we had SUR as our guide... if that's what you call them. He was the one who would give us a clue.... Or on my behalf, he would be the one telling me not to do something. (add big giggle here.)

    Breakout Waikiki - our goal time was 30 mins. but we still feel like a champ cause we landed 2nd place on the leader board.

We…read morewent with 2 groups and each played a room... then we switched rooms and raced to see who could finish. Both teams loved both rooms. The puzzles were challenging enough that it kept up entertained. They weren't so difficult that it was overly frustrating. Been back a couple times. Every room I've done was well planned and fun. Highly recommend.

    Breakout Waikīkī is an escape room located a bit further away from the main beach and a of Waikiki…read morebeach, and down the street from those who've been to 88 Tees. It's in a bit of a random spot off the street, and really can't see it from the outside until you walk in a bit to see the entrance area, which is a small area. Staff here were friendly, and also helpful in helping us with the escape during, especially since this was a family event with a younger kid, they probably felt bad for us, and we were not doing great overall, lol. Definitely exceeded that 3 hint limit! The room we did was the Y2K one, which was certainly a fun blast from the past room. For those who were 90s kids or fondly remember the 90s, this will definitely be your jam. The room itself was wide ranging of difficulty, while I wouldn't recommend for beginners, it's certainly got a good balance between difficult puzzles and easier ones. The room is also good for kids. Nothing jumpy with it that happens with this one, though, they might miss a lot of the references. But hey, if you're bringing your kids here you can tell them all about the things in there, "Back in my day...", and remind yourself how old you are! Anyways, don't want to say too much and give anything away. Have fun with the escape at Breakout Waikiki!

    "Not an Escape Room, Just a Frustrating Candy Hunt"…read more I've done a lot of escape rooms, and I can confidently say this was the worst one I've ever experienced. We booked "Sadie's Sweet Shop" at Room with a Clue expecting a fun, candy-themed escape challenge. Instead, we got a poorly designed scavenger hunt with no story, no urgency, and no objective beyond collecting candy. There is no escape element whatsoever--you're not solving puzzles to get out or to advance a storyline. You're just wandering the room trying to figure out what random combination of props might unlock another piece of candy. It felt like the creator designed puzzles purely for their own amusement, not for the enjoyment of players. Many of the puzzles were confusing not because they were hard, but because they were disconnected, self-indulgent, and illogical. To make things worse, the room was filled with red herrings--not clever misdirections, just pointless distractions that wasted time and made the experience frustrating instead of fun. The whole game lacked cohesion. There was no narrative thread tying things together, no build-up, no satisfying payoff. Just a cluttered space full of unrelated tasks. It felt like a rough draft of an escape room, not something worth charging admission for. Escape room fans: skip this one. Honolulu has much better options. Save your time and money

    So fun!!! Our…read moreescape room theme was Sushi, and we had to collect as many Shoyu packets as we could within 50 minutes. You can earn Shoyu packets by cracking codes, solving riddles, and answering triva correctly. To be honest, I did not think it was going to be super challenging, but compared to the mainland chain escape rooms, I would say it's about a 6 considering you want to "breakout" AND beat the other teams that have set records for collecting the most Shoyu packets. Plus, since they only offer one breakout room, they probably can't make it too difficult. I LOVED that our administrator was just as excited and happy to be there as we were. I wish I took more photos of the inside, but pls check it out because they change the theme every quarter or so. Can't wait to try the Christmas themed one that she (the manager/owner?) was telling us about!

    Waikiki

    We were looking for something fun to do with our daughter on the long Labor Day weekend especially…read morebecause we rarely get weekends off together, so we wanted to make it as special as possible. She loves the idea of escape rooms, but panics when we're in them LOL! I scoured the internet for something we haven't done before and all the escape rooms were either too pricey, wouldn't explain how to escape when we inevitably didn't breakout, or didn't have private escape rooms. Then Google suggested Scaventours which in all my days of searching never appeared! Scaventours is on the ground floor of Marriot Waikiki. Opposite side of the hotel from the Valet. The side with the tour bus pickup. The sign says they're open daily from 9-7 I believe, but you can look up the games and book online. We booked our game morning of and all went well. There's no parking, so we parked at the Zoo like they suggested. We parked at the back half of the zoo (Mauka side) and just followed that road straight pass Denny's. That path lead us straight to the correct hotel entrance to find Scaventours easily. ALSO, the Zoo Parking wasn't taking debit cards and my husband only had a $10. He paid for 2 hours but the machine didn't give change so we got ripped. Be aware of that when parking there. After reading up on the games, I decided we would do Kanaloa's Curse. A scavenger hunt that stayed INSIDE the hotel with various puzzles fit for ages 6-11 even though some of them had me stumped. I appreciate that the game isn't timed and that there was an option to stay inside the hotel because I'm not trying to take my 7yo scavenger hunting on the streets of Waiks. It was super reasonably priced at $23 for my husband and I and $14 for my daughter. We were given the map and a clipboard of puzzles, complimentary pens and candy and we were off. The hunt took us through the ground floor of the hotel finding different things and solving puzzles. It took us just about an hour with my 7yo finding everything and doing every puzzle, so it was PERFECT for her!! At the end, we returned to the store, unlocked the treasure, she got some prizes, and we took photos with the mascot raccoon statue. She was immediately begging to do the rest of the hunts. Successful find both Scaventours and the actual scaventour!!!!

    This was so fun!! A nice way to experience Waikīkī and play a game at the same time. The owner was…read moreso nice and helpful as well. Would do it again!

I did notice some paper goods available for purchase, pretty smart. Selecting songs is done on your phone. Pretty simple and straight forward search system. Sound system is on point.

Their website says "call before you come" so I decided to call ahead but all calls went to voicemail. We decided to head in to see if it's available, and if not, we're gonna shoot for the next day. My group along with couple others and 1 person showed up waiting, peaking inside, trying all doors but nothing. Called the number on the door several times and nothing, every call went to voicemail once again. Then we find out owner is talking to the optometrist across the karaoke. Optometrist personnel tells a group to call the number on the door, the same number I have been calling all afternoon. And surprise! Owner picks up their call on the first try. I call again after they hang up to hopefully get a booking and calls went to voicemail again. At this point we just left. What kind of communication is this? You put contact information on your website, instagram, and your door and you nitpick which caller you're gonna answer? Communication in this business needs to improve drastically. This was a terrible experience.

    Wanted to try them out so scheduled one of their 15min sessions. Admittedly, arrived 10 min late…read more (no parking so we were driving around for over 15min). Reschedule policy was the same price as our individual package. Cancellation policy was more than the price of one of us. It's a very expensive policy. And they definitely don't care if you come back or not. I would not recommend. Seems like a bad idea to have very frustrating policies in place for a Rage Room. ;)

    Tried Out a Rage Room for the First Time - Totally Worth It!…read more I've been hearing about this rage room for a while and finally decided to check it out. I called ahead to ask about any discounts for locals or birthdays, and they told me they do offer a local discount with valid ID -- nice little bonus! They also said they had availability that day, so I figured, why not? The whole experience was super satisfying. Ever feel like breaking something at work but don't want to get fired? Break n Anger is the place to let that urge out safely and legally. Here's how it works: You get to choose 2 items from the top shelf and 5 items each from shelves 2, 3, and 4 -- so about 17 items total to smash. After signing the waivers, you suit up in a jumpsuit, gloves, and a helmet. They offer earplugs too, but I skipped those -- the sound of breaking stuff is half the fun. Honestly, the time flew by -- I went all in for 10 minutes and it felt like seconds. I probably should've paced myself, but I really wanted to let the rage out. No regrets though -- it was super fun, and I can totally see this being a great team-building activity. I'm definitely planning to go back and try the premium items next time!
