Had a great time here! Easy to make a reservation, get the details on directions, park the car, and…read morecheck in. We went into the briefing room to get the directions and get some clues prior to starting. It was hard to,but there were clues given periodically that made it easier. There's nothing like hearing the click of a lock opening to reveal another clue or piece to the puzzle. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Also love the Maui chili chili oil that they have there too.

Holy 2024 i am so behind!!! So the first review of the year has to be for a fun and awesome local…read morebusiness here on maui!!! I know you all heard of these escape rooms before and probably have tried them. My son has been wanting to do one for the longest time and to tell you the truth, so have i! On our walk around wailuku last week, we stumbled across Mystery Maui Escape Room....which i have seen before but never did go inside! Well, this time, WE DID! And just so happened that there was an opening for Stella (one of the rooms!) so yes, it was totally meant to be. It was $35 per person for kama`aina and $25 for kids (as of February 2024). We were shown into the "briefing room" so they could explain the room, what to look out for, and we were also given a sample puzzle to figure out! We did it pretty dang fast so i thought, we are gonna do SOOO good at this! After signing the electronic waiver (off the QR code), we were ready to go! There are 2 escape rooms here right now (AND a new room should be opening hopefully in March!!!! Can't wait!!!). One is called Stella and the other is the Ramen Shop. Since Stella was open, that was the one we did. I don't wanna give too much away but it was so much fun. And challenging!!! There are cameras in the room so they are able to see how you are doing and will give you clues if you would like them to. Of course we said YES on that haha!!! Did we finish?! Ummm, JUST IN TIME. We had 29 or so seconds to spare. So much for thinking we were gonna kill it and get outta there in no time! Haha! Fast forward another week and we had to come back for the Ramen Shop! This one was even MORE fun than the Stella Room! Maybe because it had to do with food, i love anything that has to do with food. It was another fun and challenging hour with some help from the Mystery Room owners but we finished!! We even did better this time! Almost 1 min left on the clock! That's a win for us! There's a little "winners area" where you can see the fastest times and can you believe some people made it before 30 minutes?!?!? Dang!!!!! That is impressive!!! If you've been wondering about doing an escape room, stop on by this place!! They are so friendly here and it's so much fun! I believe it's a 2 person minimum and 6 person maximum so def plan ahead and get your escape on!

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.

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.)

We had an incredible experience at Great Big Game Show! Our group was about 10 30-somethings…read morelooking for something fun to do on a rainy day. The experience was SUCH a blast - our host really brought the hype energy and got our group into the spirit. Without spoiling anything, the activities vary a lot in the skills required (some will be familiar from real-life game shows). This means that no one skill guarantees victory (I am terrible at trivia, but I still did pretty well!). We were hooting and hollering throughout the experience - luckily the rooms are closed off enough that it's okay to be loud! The team at GBGS also went above and beyond for us - we were celebrating a wedding AND a surprise pregnancy announcement, and the team helped us incorporate the pregnancy reveal into one of the games. It was such a special moment for everyone involved. They even gave us a hand-written note at the end congratulating the married couple and the new parents! Overall, I was blown away by the experience and the stellar customer service. 10/10 would recommend!!

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!

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!!!!

Gerard is a considerate & fun host!

Sometimes there is a group already in the room, and while there is a comfortable waiting area, you do not want to hear what is going on or it will spoil your own game. So if the previous players are going over-time or you are extra early, it is best to wait downstairs in the Logos bookstore until it is your booking time. There were about 7 empty stalls in the parking lot when I arrived at 5:45pm for my 6pm event. Up the stairs is a little landing. You press the button that says "AVR" and it rings a bell to let you in. Gerard welcomed us, gave us safety tips, and made sure we had tons of fun! We all had a great time. I'm going back with my kids.
