Husband and I took our teenage boys to the Civil War room recently for our first escape room…read moreexperience. We had SO much fun! We barely escaped in the time allowed, and the hour passed quickly. With so many puzzles to solve and surprises we hadn't expected, it was so much more of an experience than I had thought an escape room would be. There was a technical glitch at one point; one of the employees paused our time and came into the room to overcome the glitch, which was very helpful & fair, I thought. It was our first experience at Breakout Lawrence, but it won't be our last.

The room we did was an asylum theme in the basement. Everything was filthy and covered in dust/dirt. The building did not have AC either. It was overall a terrible experience and not worth the price whatsoever. Go to KC instead.

Worst Ever Escape Room!!…read more This was by far the worst escape room I have ever been bar none. And I've done over 20. The attendant was phoning in and completely uninterested and non-helpful. Half the stuff in the escape room was broken and one of the main objective clues wasn't even there. The room itself was dirty and very hot. All of the stuff was old and several things were smudged or not working. And to top it off, a piece of the plaster wall literally fell on one of the people in our group. If you want to escape, escape by not going to this escape room. So so bad!!!!

We did the race rooms, two identical rooms where two teams can compete against each other and the clock. We decided to pit the guys against the girls. An unfortunate decision, as the girls in our group are a cohesive force of lateral thinking while the guys are your basic gang of idiots. We all managed to have fun anyway.

This was our first time doing an escape room at this facility. We did the Legacy of the Dragon room…read moreand really enjoyed it. Most escape rooms we have done have many locks to open. This room didn't have a single lock, so I liked that it was different from others we have done. We needed 2 extra minutes, but with that little bit of extra time we did manage to escape. It was a fun time with our niece who we were visiting for the Thanksgiving holiday. Doing an escape room with her has sort of become a tradition, so we will be back again next year to escape from another room.

We had two adults and two pre-teens attempt the "Betrayal" game at Exit Games in Bonner Springs…read more The staff was very friendly and explained the rules clearly. The room we chose was very clean and well organized. The game itself, titled "Betrayal", was not terribly difficult, but it was a definite challenge. Our small group was not successful; however the game made it very possible to succeed. There was a very small amount of mis-direction and extra information, but not too much. If you were successful in progressing past a step, you could figure out the next step without wondering if you were on the wrong track. On one hand, I wish the room itself was a little more decorated to feel more immersed in the theme of the game and add to the experience.. On the other hand, when you're racing the clock, you don't want too many red herrings throwing you off track. I still think that Exit Games could do a little more in this area without causing too many problems. My only concern about this room would be for a group of 8 adults; the Betrayal room was not terribly large and I'm not sure how comfortable it would be in there for 8. I think that "Betrayal" is great for 4-6 people aged 14 and up to complete without too much trouble, but it's certainly not guaranteed. The more 'puzzle lovers' in your group, the better. Our pre-teen children had a lot of fun and were able to contribute towards our progress. This was our first experience with an escape room, and we all enjoyed the experience. We will definitely go back to Exit Games to try their other room based on our positive visit.

A somewhat underground phenomenon "escape rooms" are gaining traction as a family friendly and…read morebonding experience unlike any other. The basic premise is you and a group enter into a room or series of rooms with little direction and you must find clues to solve puzzles in order to finish the adventure. The complexity and difficulty are explained to the participants before purchase allowing the experience to be customized based on comfort level. Now that we've established a groundwork of what an escape room is, I'll describe my experience. I flew in to Kansas City to see my 17 graduate and spend time with her and my 14 yr old. It's somewhat of a tradition of ours to do an escape room. My daughter did some searches and based on rating decided to give "The Exit Room" a shot. I'm not sure how prices stack up for other facilities and I thought they were a lot higher than others however it was worth it. The Exit Room's location is fairly easy to find, parking is plentiful and the location in a safe area. Walking in is pretty neat with several areas great for photo ops. The guide (sorry if that's not what the person is called) was pleasant greeting us and gave us a run down of all the things we needed to know. He guided us to our destination, wished us luck and shut the door. I don't want to give to much away but, in the room, there's a monitor in case you're in need of hints. You hold up a sign for help and the "guide" will assist via intercom. We did need one hint and I rather liked the ambiguity b/c it wasn't to the point of "press that button" rather, "look closely at the puzzle and notice the direction." The carefully crafted responses were given to not ruin the experience. The puzzles themselves varied in nature. A physical slide puzzle here, a series of puzzles with colors there and several puzzles that had clues fit into a larger puzzle. Basically, the rooms are meant to challenge both sides of the brain but patience is a virtue. After successfully completing a puzzle an audio/visual cue is given thus a small shot of dopamine hits the brain simulating reward. While not only indicating the current puzzle is complete, it reinvigorates hope and focuses your attention on the next obstacle. I can't recall exactly but I believe my 60-minute adventure had a total of 15 or so puzzles. The only small issue I had was with the final puzzle but I'm not going to divulge my irritation with the implementation of said puzzle. Overall, my girls and I enjoyed the experience. While I'm a very deep thinking my greatest experience came from letting my kids take ownership and watching my oldest child take over, demonstrating leadership, organization and analytical thinking. This is an interaction occasion not a sitting on the sofa type of atmosphere. The Exit Room provides the perfect adventure for those willing to challenge themselves and try something different. I highly encourage everyone to take my "hint" and give it a shot.
