It also had some really cool special effects we haven't seen in other places! After we finished the room, the owners asked if we wanted to "test drive" their new AI fantasy room. As someone who has done a lot of escape rooms, this room was like nothing else I've ever experienced in all the best ways! It's actually designed to be completed over multiple sessions, and they have a system to save your group's progress so that you can come back and keep working from where you left off. We had so much fun and will ABSOLUTELY be coming back to keep tackling the AI room. Anybody in the area who likes escape rooms or wants to try one out should absolutely come here!

We didn't need the grandmaster much BUT he was friendly and inviting upon our arrival and departure from Escape Room Sarasota. Online booking (so I was told) was fast and easy.

My only gripe is the website stated, "An Evening in Paris...Treat your special Sweetheart to a romantic "Evening in Paris".

(http://www.escapecountdown.com/6525-s-tamiami-trail-sarasota-fl-34231/) ----- this page is #2 in the Google search for "Sarasota Escape Room". When I inquired about this, the young woman said, "Oh, does it still say that? That was only for Valentine's Day. We keep telling our web guy to take it down but he doesn't." Looking at the site again, it appears that description is on a page that is no longer included on the main site, but is still an active page showing up in searches. So, just delete the page? Regardless, we came in with expectations that were not met. Overall, it was fun but as this and other reviews indicate, there are some management/customer service issues that need to be ironed out to provide a flawless experience.

We solved the case!!!…read more My son wanted to do an escape room for his birthday. I called up some friends and we signed up for Murder on the Manatee. Not sure how we pulled it off with two 11 year olds and a 9 year old running around and touching everything, but we did it. The kids had the best time and were begging to go back to try another room before we even left the building. This place will be a regular for school breaks and fun activities.

It was a super fun experience and had all kinds of cool puzzles for us to solve. We had to get help from the game-master but they let us struggle before giving us clues...

We first did the lost city and we finished before time was up. We had so much fun we decided to try the hardest Mona room. We finished with 12 mins to spare. The rooms were awesome. We had such a good time figuring out the clues. Mona was definitely a lot harder we actually asked for a hint. But when you finish you really feel like you've accomplished something. My nephew and son are two bright men and I wouldn't have gotten through the game without both of them. We worked real well as a team. Bathrooms were clean as was the building. I love that they have puzzles on the tables while you are waiting to use a room. They had over 10 rooms to choose from. Can't wait to go back again.

If you're in Sarasota area and looking for a fun, interactive experience, I highly recommend trying out an escape room - you won't regret it.

It was so beautiful and when you look back, you see a walkway. I'm just different things for the kids to do. They had a slide with a ball pit. They have a little race track and push on cars. There is a second level of fun that adults are tall enough for and you could climb through with your kids. Also there was more fun in the back and a party area for birthdays. I liked that they had a concession area with snacks and drinks. They even had hotdogs which we ordered. The price wasn't terrible for cheap hotdog. Honestly, we had such a blast of course my kids did not want to so leave highly recommend.
