Greatest Escape Lancaster provided excellent service to my group of friends and myself last night. They helped book a room for my birthday, and we had such a wonderful time. The experience was so much fun, and it was great working together to solve puzzles, build our team skills, and learn new things throughout the game. We were so close to completing it, but it was still a blast trying to figure everything out together. After the game, we also learned about the history of the escape rooms and how the managers came together to create something special. It was really nice hearing about their passion for the business and how they are still looking to expand and grow. Thank you for helping make my birthday celebration so enjoyable. I would definitely recommend checking them out! We will be back and see y'all soon

Escaped Jail Break

Ive done every room here and honestly keep coming back because I love it that much. Each room is so well put together and actually makes you think, but still fun the whole time. The owners are some of the nicest people you'll meet--they really care about your experience and it shows. It's one of those places you end up recommending to everyone because it's just that good.

Family was in Lancaster today to challenge ourselves with a couple of Escape Rooms and we entered Greatest Escape with the full intention of taking down their "Behind the Wardrobe" and "Prison Break" rooms. We have a very friendly GM who chatted with us when we arrived, got us checked in and ready to rock. She gave us a quick breakdown of everything and away we went. Both rooms are well designed and we really enjoyed some of the unique challenges presented in "Behind the Wardrobe." They use the older method of clues with a walkie talkie but the GM was very responsive and gave us a clue or information quickly if we needed it. We escaped both rooms and I think we would have broken the escape record for one of the rooms if we hadn't run into some technical difficulties that halted our progress. Overall we had a great time and we will return when they add more rooms in the future, I'd recommend giving it a try. Had to remove one star for a couple issues I'll touch on quickly. -We had a technical issue in both rooms. In one room a locking mechanism didn't release when it should have and it cost us several minutes because the GM didn't realize it and we didn't receive an item we needed to finish the room. In the other room a lock didn't open despite us having the right combination, the GM came into the room and got it open on her 4th attempt. -The Prison Break room had no back story, we weren't given any story information or shown a video to hype us for the room and tell us what was going on. We were just tossed into the room and the timer started, it was definitely strange and took away from the immersion a little bit.

The Apartment

OMG so glad we have something like this in the AV. I went with some girlfriends and we did the jail brake room. It was cool how some of our party started in the jail cell and the others trying to break them out. After three of us were released from the cell we worked together on the figuring out the clues but we didn't make it out ! Honestly the clues and the manner that everything in this room was thought out was great. If we had been more focused we might have been able to get out but we went wine tasting beforehand LOL. Will defiantly be back to try the other rooms!! Thank you guys for a great experience!!!

Beyond the Wardrobe!

Ask the Community - Greatest Escape

Is this good entertainment for seniors 65+?

It’s good for all ages. We regularly do events for seniors from the senior centers and Mayflower Gardens.

Is the escape rooms scary or just one?

Hello, we have both scary and family friendly rooms. You can see all the rooms and schedule an appointment at www.TwistedExit.com or GreatestEsccape.us

Is the wardrobe room scary?

It’s not. It’s actually a family friendly room designed with kids in mind. It’s still challenging but kids love the room.

I was wondering if you were open during the pandemic?

Hello, unfortunately we have not been given the okay to open yet by the County Health Department. We are hoping to reopen in the next couple of weeks. Please check our website booking page for available dates and times. Hopefully, we’ll see you soon.

Is The Apartment scary?

The apartment is on the scarier side, but we have had people as young as 10 years old play it with their parents.

Oh my gosh so fun! Such a different escape room to what I've normally been to. The fact that there…read moreare live actors included in some of the rooms here really add to the fun! That entrance too is super cool and really unique. The parking lot in front is very small so some of our group had to park at the streets. It can be hard to spot but luckily I had a couple of friends that have gone to one of the escape rooms here before. I feel like the employees inside are very go-go-go! So make sure you arrive for your appointment on time. They direct you to the bathroom inside too and the theming of it all is amazing. Not what you would expect from the outside. We were able to do the Courtyard room and it was like we were in a set. I was very amazed by the detail and the props, and of course so proud of the group I was with because we were able to pass the room (despite a 20% success rate!). The story threw me off at first but after researching on the website after the escape room, I understand now that we did the last chapter of the journey. LOL oops! Nontheless we all had so much fun and you are really immersed and sucked into the story. I think that I would love to come here again but there is a pretty big price point that you have to be okay spending (weekdays it was like 43-46$. I really appreciate the high quality camera they use and a unique background for a nice group photo to capture the memories. Would be cool to have props photo booth style but it's okay, definitely a more formal and really detailed escape room. Highly recommend!! PS Lockers for phones and stuff to place are in the lobby but it's secured with a key that one of the group members keep.

Getting inside the building was interesting; turns out, there is a puzzle to solve! Once inside, we sat down, waited for the rest of our friends then signed the waiver. Thankfully, they did have a bathroom we could use ahead of time. Once we got our initial instructions from the staff member, we went into a room and received more instructions on a screen. The basement is a very immersive room, the cast member who was part of it did an amazing job! I'm so sad I can't remember her name, she truly was a delight! She even reassured me at the beginning when I was freaking out. We managed to escape with about 6 minutes left, I wish I had taken exact note of how much time. We took a celebratory picture and then I got some merch, a t shirt saying I escape the basement and one of the enamel pins. Me and my friends came to celebrate a birthday and I think we will be back in November for another friend's birthday to do the next room! I'm gonna buy a new enamel pin each time we win, I think. Definitely looking forward to coming back! Couple tips: come in one car, the lot is very small and there was only one spot left when we got there and our friends had to park farther away. For the celebratory picture, make sure to look at the right spot and fix your hair beforehand lol. Lastly, bring cash to tip the staff members! They deserve it for being so awesome! Oh, and be kind to them, I shouldn't have to say this, but I will. They are fellow humans playing characters.

Five stars, no question, and honestly I wish I could give bonus points because this experience was…read morethat good. From start to finish, Arcane Escape Rooms was such a fun, immersive, genuinely enjoyable time, and the absolute star of the whole experience was Alan. He was graceful, welcoming, articulate, and just incredibly comfortable to be around. You could tell he was genuinely excited for us and rooting for us the entire time. It never once felt rushed, forced, or annoyed, which makes such a huge difference with escape rooms. His energy elevated the entire experience, and the way he saved the best part for the end by showing us the other escape rooms and hyping up future experiences was honestly genius. He alone is a huge reason I would come back. We ended up doing one of the hardest rooms with four people total, including myself, and we completed it in under 40 minutes, which felt amazing. Alan was clearly impressed with our performance, and that encouragement made it even more fun. The puzzles were challenging but fair, engaging without being frustrating, and the whole experience felt really well thought out. I'm from the San Gabriel Valley and would absolutely drive out here again without hesitation. I actually came because a friend is local and we were meeting up, and it was more than worth the drive. A couple of small things worth mentioning just to be transparent, getting there can be a little confusing since it's on the third floor, and if you park in the back you want to enter on the left side. Signing up online was easy and seamless, everything felt organized and respected, and we showed up early which Alan appreciated and even mentioned so kindly. There was a slight carpet type smell when we first walked in, but once you're inside and focused on the experience, you stop noticing it completely. The lobby is on the smaller side, but since we were the only group there, it wasn't a big deal at all. I also really appreciated that they had hand sanitizer available. Overall, this was such a fun, memorable experience, and I left already wanting to come back. If you're even considering this place, do it, and if you get Alan as your host, you're in for an amazing time.

Fun escape room that I never knew existed here!…read more Brought my parents on the weekend so didn't enjoy climbing up the stairs to the top floor instead of the elevator that was inaccessible. But we had a good time & the kind staff allowed us to take the elevator back down after.

The puzzles were challenging without feeling like a stretch. Everything made sense, flowed naturally, and the clues led logically to the next step. There were a couple of skill-based elements that involved a little luck, but nothing frustrating or unfair. Also, despite the music theme, you don't need any musical knowledge or skills to complete the room. A huge shoutout to Veronica, our game host. She was incredibly friendly, fun, and genuinely excited about our experience. She took the time to chat with us before and after the game, and she was just as excited as we were when we escaped with only a few minutes left on the clock. If you're looking for a fun, well-designed escape room with great staff, The Mad Rapper at Scenario Escape Room is an easy recommendation. We'll definitely be back the other room!

Totally wish there was another room in the works because we LOVE Mad Rapper and Dr Hader's so much. It also is so impressive because this isn't some big chain that just pushes out collab-themed rooms. It is privately owned and is unique from all other murder mystery-- alien-- creepy cabin etc. if you haven't tried any of Scenario's rooms-- it's a must! Note: we did have 8 with a bunch of newbies and there was enough to keep everyone engaged at all times.

It's very easy to mess but if you drive slowly, it is literally right next to the building. You turn in and there should be a wellness center on your left. Continue to go forward and turn left and the parking garage is there. It has multiple levels going down. It's typically about $1 for an hour and no they do not validate. There is free parking nearby in another garage but for a dollar to be able to walk up and be right there is much better in my opinion. When you arrive, you call the phone number on the front door and they come unlock the door to let you in the inside. Has multiple VR experiences aside from VR room itself. There are multiple spaces so more than one group could have an experience at the same time. Once you sign the waivers, they take you back to your space that is reserved and put the headsets on for you. After putting on the headset to your timer starts and you start your gaming experience. Pretty easy to understand instructions from the game guide. Just try your best not to walk into any walls and respect the boundaries. It's a lot of fun. Sometimes the airflow is not great so you definitely feel sweaty on your face but other times they'll turn on the fans and it feels good the whole time you're there. Definitely great for less active activity but still very engaging. They don't really explain the game to you and kind of leave you to figure it out on your own, but the games are not super complicated to understand. The game guides are pretty nice and quick to help out with technical issues. You cannot hear other games that are happening at the same time as you. They are there and the space is open, but VR headset quickly muffles out any other sound so it's very easy to focus on your own game. Great place if you don't have anything to do for an hour in the afternoon. And it's so close to the 3rd St Promenade that you can walk over and experience that when you're done. We typically like to walk over to Go Greek on Ocean Avenue afterward for a fun FroYo snack.
