    Out of the past was a blast! Our team of 4 went through several well thought out clues and with the support of Taymahn...we made it back to our time! Definitely recommend this venue.

    Can we get out

    My first impression was, this is crazy. Who thought of this?!!! You quickly realize who are the brains in the bunch. It's like be immersed in a living puzzle and an endless maze of clues and riddles. Everything in the room has purpose and meaning which means you have to pay attention to everything. You can work alone. It's important you work together and communicate. Memory does come into play but they supply a pad for you to take notes. On every wall there are object that essentially are puzzles to solve. We didn't successfully complete the rooms. We did our very best, but we will be back. This is an amazing place. Jasmine was our game master and she was awesome. Please do yourself a favor and stop by and give the escape room a shot.

    Escape rooms are great fun for a group. paradigmQ was quite the drive from where I live in Beaverton but had to try when they had the fright before Christmas themed room. From the outside, the shop doesn't stand out too much, but once you go in, it's a very clean and spacious lobby with a very cool and large logo with an illuminated background. It makes you feel like you've entered a mysterious space. They have you sign in and do a waiver and also promotes safe precautions. They had us wash our hands before starting and ensured us that the room was cleaned prior to us entering. You get an hour to do the room and it was nicely decorated for the theme. I will say it was a simpler room than other ones we've done. It's a small, maybe 30' x 15' space with fairly straightforward puzzles. If you're looking for a more casual experience that'll still get you thinking, I would recommend doing this room with ~4 people. There was one puzzle (ornaments) that we weren't quite fond of, not because of difficult, but the design. I'll leave it at that as not to spoil anything :).

    My husband wanted to book an escape room as a team building exercise for his employees. There were 5 of us in the Sasquatch room. The room was great. Lots of locks and we thought it was quite challenging trying to figure out what clues went to what locks. There was a main room and then a small "outside" room that had to be unlocked. We all had a great time! Our game master Peter was awesome! He was so friendly and helpful. He provided nudges when we were way off track and gave great hints when we asked for them. We did not escape the room in our hour time limit! We were on the last puzzle and would have escaped with an additional 2-5 minutes. We are definitely planning to return and try additional rooms. So fun!

    We played the Nightmare before Christmas parody. It is a single room game. The decor is good. There are a lot of puzzles in this game. The story is cute, but the puzzles don't really connect with the story organically. It's more geared toward puzzle lovers than immersive enthusiasts. I love that it merged Halloween & Christmas!!!

    This was our first time attempting an escape room. We did the Sasquatch experience. It was so much fun and our game master John was awesome.

    Hard room!

    If you haven't read my reviews you have to know I LOVE escape rooms! I have done three escape rooms with ParadigmQ, a sister location to Escape Games PDX! It is located less than 10 minutes away from where I live, so the convenience is there. Their location is spot on and smart as they are right off of Mill Plain and next to a popular Mexican restaurant - so grab some food and margaritas (that is what half our team did!). Everything is brand new once you enter. Open waiting area, friendly staff and we love their introductions prior to when you enter a room. I have had Bex and Natalie be our room masters. All have been great! If I had to rate them based on difficulty here is what I think, this is strictly based on my opinion - obvi! 1) Out of the Past 2) Into the Future 3) The Hour Before Christmas I'm so happy there is another escape room in the great Vancouver area, they are creating a couple of more escape rooms in the next couple of months, so be sure to know that I'll be there once they open! I can't wait to do another!

    our game group!

    See all

    We were I. Portland for meetings. We came to Escape Games PDX for a team building outing…read more The staff here was nice and explained the games to us before we went in. During the game play we could ask for clues, we needed many, ha, ha. The clues they gave were helpful and helped us push on to eventually solve it with only less than a minute on the clock. We did the Tales from the Attic room. I won't give away any of the room, I will only say it was kind of like a mystery game of hang man to fill in the clues as we found them. It was different than other escape rooms I have done, but it was fun figuring out the clues to fill in the puzzles. I believe they have 4 different escape rooms here and I am sure they are all just as fun. If you are looking for a fun group activity, work outing, birthday party, etc. I would recommend an escape room and if in the Portland area check out Escape Games PDX. If you solve the game, you can pick a little key trinket as well and go up in the leader board if you solve it fast enough. We unfortunately did not make the leader board. Enjoy!

We did the Prison Heist room because a couple of us had never done an Escape Room before and it seemed like a perfect starter room. Loved that the room is non-linear and the clues were all cohesive. You had a choice of dressing the part as they had inmate costumes readily available. The door is never locked so you can get out if needed. Also, for this room, there is no clock. Your gamemaster will let you know once you have 30 and 10 minutes left. Jake gave us fantastic clues and didn't make us feel like idiots for asking. I feel like we asked for only maybe a handful of clues. We escaped with about 11 minutes to spare. Loved that they had merch for each specific room. Makes it easier to grab a souvenir. We also were able to pick out a tiny key as our prize for escaping. Cute touch. Good job, Escape Games PDX!

    Absolutely blown away by this amazing escape room. Really top tier and possibly our new favorite in…read morethe PNW, and competes against one of our favorites in Arizona. Came across this place from friends who are out of town and travel for escape rooms and they were very impressed as well. We did Operation Gryaznayavoda and it was so fun. Despite having a large group of 10 people, found it challenging and everyone had a chance to keep themselves busy. Unique puzzles and locks, awesome story to accompany, and a great game master. When you see the entrance, you already know they put in effort to make this whole room work and you're going to have a good time. Great attention to detail, everything was in working order (with exception of getting in but that's not their fault as someone recently broke it, but this had nothing to do with the game itself and was more a novelty which was cool). Highly recommended and have not been impressed like this in a long time. This unfortunately set the bar unrealistically high for some first timers in our group haha, but now they're hooked to try other games too.
