Near the bathroom

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
Wendell R.

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.

Hallway to the different rooms

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

This was honestly very difficult but a lot of fun! I'd recommend doing it with more than two people if you want to win!

Great day at the Dino Park! Also called Nikkei Park…read more There is a little kid 2-5 year old playground and a 5+ year old set with taller slides. Swings for little ones and bigger kids in the back of the park, 4 total; 2 for toddlers and 2 for bigger kids. A cool sandpit that has dinosaur fossils to find. Clean park that is popular with many kids playing. There are several dinosaurs around the park to play with, my little one's favorite was the baby dinosaur hatching out of an egg.

I've been wanting to visit this park for a year or two with my little one, and we were finally able…read moreto get here this summer. It's a newer park, only opened in 2021. The history of the park is interesting. It was called Nikkei to honor the Japanese Americans from this areawho were interred in concentration camps, and their vital contribution to the community that turned on them. The word nikkei refers to members of the Japanese diaspora. The park has a dinosaur theme and is kind of unique amongst parks we've been to. There are several dinosaur sculptures placed throughout the park for kids (both big and small) to enjoy. There's of course plenty of playground equipment. But there's also a sand pit where kids can play and dig for "fossils". We did spend a chunk of time at the sand pit--it was a bigger attraction for my kiddo than I thought. There are toilets here, if I recall correctly, near the entrance to the park. Parking is limited--but it's a neighborhood park, so to be expected. The elementary school nearby allows parking during off-hours.

After reading the reviews posted, I was very hesitant to bring my daughter and her friends here. I…read moreaggressively tried to sway her from having her birthday party at Urban Air. The reviews and ratings completely scared me. As an admitted clean freak, I thought there was no way I could endure a trampoline park with such comments on the lack of cleanliness. My daughter insisted THIS was the place for her 13th birthday celebration. With Clorox wipes in hand, I entered with my daughter and five friends and GUESS WHAT?! The place was clean, the staff was helpful and the check in was smooth. The whole event was a complete success! I have spent 2.5 hours here so far and have experienced ZERO issues AND I didn't even use a Clorox wipe. We will be back! Update: After another hour there, I noticed it started getting a bit more rowdy. Staff did ask a group of boys to stop "rough housing", which was appreciated, but then they cut in front of the line in the car area without any response from staff. If staff could enforce rules more often, that would be great!

Yes, this place is fun for kids especially on a rainy day…read more Lots of space to get your kids energy out. Something for ages 5 and up Honestly, wayyyyyy too many people and understaffed. Lots of staff walking around doing absolutely nothing. This place needs a DEEP CLEAN ASAP IT SMELSS LIKE FARTS everywhere you go Employees were nice and I didn't have a bad experience with any of them. However, they are not given ample training or direction. I don't think I will be back, we had to go wait 30 minutes to rock climb. Kids running at 50mph around every corner. It's just too chaotic.
