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!

On that site there's no address, email, phone number, or link to the website on this yelp page* This place stinks. Literally and figuratively. When walking in I got hit with the smell of animal poop like I was at a farm. Finding this place was kind of annoying because it's inside this republican bar buts it's listed as Celtic ax throwing instead of what ever the bar is. The website has no phone number or address. The bar, Strombreaker Brewing St. John's, has no signs for the rage room on the building Even tho it's inside the bar. You have to Google Maps search for Rage Room Portland by its self to find it. The guy who helped us through the process when we got there was rude. His breath was soooo bad I had to make sure I was 10 steps away from him at all times. Every time I asked a question he started to get angry for some reason. They don't have a place for you to securely put your purse so you have to just leave it out in the open bar. They don't have a table or anything to smash stuff on. Just two tires for you to put the bottles on. Some of the bottles fell off because it's not well balanced. When I asked if we could have a few to replace the ones that broke he started getting all angry and frustrated saying no. So I let it go. The wording is vague when buying the room. When you get the medium stuff to break it says "small electronics, a vase, and something else. When we got there the had set out a single VCR tape player. I was confused because the way it's worded made it sound like you get it all but that's not true. You only get 1 of those items and you don't get to pick it out. When I asked the guy about it he, again probably because it's too much for his little brain to comprehend, started getting frustrated with me for asking a simple question. Again I let it go but I shouldn't have. I bought an extra box of ceramics to break, but it turns out they don't actually have any ceramics even though they have it up for sale. It was just an extra box of empty liquor bottles, which they ended up telling me they get for free and then charge you 15 bucks for it. Apparently when you order online it doesn't charge for the whole party. Only what you got to break and 1 person. Before breaking things you think they would charge you for the rest of the party, but they don't. When we were done and about to leave, the guy asked me why I was leaving without paying. Again I was confused and asked him what he meant. And, again, he started getting upset by like I should know that after you break things and you are leaving you then have to pay for the rest of the party. How that makes any sense, I don't know. They charge you at an iPad station set up right in front of the ax throwing that has no back gate on the first stall. Meaning if you're checking out and someone goes to throw an ax and it slips out of their hand, it's gonna hit you right in the skull. So that's pretty cool. To sum up my review: this bar, strombreaker brewing St. John's, is a bar that saw all the money a rage room can bring in. So they made an awful rage room, put mouth breathers in charge, and charge you for items they purposely mislead you on. I'd spend your money literally anywhere else.

It's a great way to get crafty and de-stress, with a glass of wine if you so choose :) Marina (founder and teacher) does a great job of breaking down the activity. Also, I've been a fan of the locations - it's been a great way to explore new venues or restaurants I haven't been to. Check out the website or see if a meetup has any deals or codes you can use when purchasing a ticket to an activity. I will definitely mention this to my work, as this would be a great offsite activity!

Oh man, get thee to the Clackamas County Fair…read more At first Mr. T and I thought this was kind of a shakedown; you have to pay $5 for parking and $7 just to get in the door. Then you have to pay separately for things like the rodeo and rides. But we found out there was plenty of fee-free fun inside. We started off getting our fix of fried carnival food first, including apple-pie fries and pigs ears. Next we hit up the 4H livestock exhibits. All I can say is, wow. Punk rock chickens, crazy-eyed goats, giant pigs and tiny piglets, you name it. I never imagined there were so many varieties of chickens. Seeing the piglets suckle was a highlight, not in a weird way or anything. And speaking of weird, pigs have strangely human-like butts. Anyway, next we stumbled upon the adult talent show, and our only regret is that we didn't find it sooner! The final acts are on Saturday evening, it would be great to see. Winners go to the state fair in Salem. Fair goes through Saturday; get there!

They decorate the property with Christmas lights and you walk around to see them. They have cute displays, tunnels to walk through and favorite characters such as the Grinch. Inside, they have a variety of vendors that sell their homemade goodies. They also have concessions with hot cocoa, soda, & snacks. This year I found a wreath for my fireplace and got some more delicious jam from Willamette Valley Berries. Tickets are only $10 for adults, $5 for kids and three & under are free. Plus parking is free! It is such a cute event and has become a tradition!
