We made reservations online beforehand. We noticed that the price per person changed depending on the number of people you selected for the escape room. We did the Ghostly Galleon escape room with four people. The escape room we chose was a medium-hard level and was supposedly the hardest room that they offer. The escape room took place in just one room and I would've liked it to be more interactive with multiple rooms. It was pretty difficult and I'd recommend doing this particular room with people who are experienced in escape rooms. This was a good place with escape rooms of a range of difficulty and the themes were great.

We knew we had to try We decided to do the hardest room at Puzzle Break - Escape from Seattle, The World's Fair Affair We had a group of 6 with varying levels of experience with escape rooms (it was one of our friends first room while two of us have done more than 50 rooms) and the room felt perfect for the size! There were a lot of moving parts and lots to do in to this room so nobody was really standing around. We thought the room had a great balance between technology and analog. Puzzles were logical and hard in ways, but solvable and doable! We all had a really great time and got out with 16 minutes to spare! Communication/organization is key for this room Mason our game master was great and helpful! There was also a giant lounge to wait in for our game to start with tons of couches, games, puzzles, and water. A great escape room at a great venue! Would absolutely come again and would love to do Puppeteer's Workshop in the future

Big props to the Puzzle Break team for allowing us to keep our time as they encountered a same day issue where one of their rooms was damaged. They handled it very professionally and we were still able to keep our time slot so we're thankful to the team. We had 8 people and surprisingly, most of us had something to do the whole time. Everyone had a part to play but some parts we partnered up to accomplish faster. Easily a room you can do with 4-8 people with moderate difficulty, with the more people making it easier. Puzzles were fun, a few challenging ones, but overall pretty linear progression without weird redundancies that can happen with some other escape rooms. This room is great to bring friends who are new to escape rooms as there are still a few surprises (not in the scary sense). Thanks to Puzzle Break for a great time! I didn't book the room so I didn't get the name of the person my friend spoke to but during our experience Neo did the introduction prior to the game and guided us on time when we asked (we only asked for one hint so there was minimal interaction on that part). If this review encouraged you to try it, I hope you enjoy it!

This was my first escape room ever!…read more It was so fun :) I was impressed by the creativity and the intricacy of the puzzles. The rooms are also beautiful and well crafted. I won't give too many spoilers - we did the Storyteller and it had three rooms to "solve". The staff are wonderful too. The price is $45 per person. Located in Fremont.

The unique thing about this escape room is they included an actor to immerse us in the story and to occasionally give us hints; a more immersive experience then having us push a button and waiting for the staff on the intercom to give us a clue. - Parking here is tricky. The lower-level parking structure right next door has many conflicting signs. Even the staff at Locurio weren't sure how to help us ensure free safe parking. Have to buy something at the nearby supermarket to get validated parking? Not sure. - Wish they allowed each of us a prop to hold for the photo at the end. Good thing I brought my own.

My group spontaneously decided to give this place a try yesterday and booked The Bunker room…read more Unfortunately, it ended up being one of the least enjoyable escape room experiences I've had. The biggest issue was the host's approach to providing hints. Instead of offering subtle guidance to help us move forward, most of the hints simply repeated things we had already accomplished. It often felt less like receiving assistance and more like being told what we already knew. Several times, our team found ourselves responding through the intercom with, "Yeah, we already did that." The narration and interactions throughout the game also came across as unnecessarily sarcastic and somewhat condescending. Rather than enhancing the experience, it felt like being lectured by a teacher instead of being immersed in an escape room adventure. I understand that not every team will successfully complete every room, and that's perfectly fine. Failing an escape room has never bothered me before. However, this was the first time I've left an escape room feeling disappointed enough to think about asking for a refund. Afterward, we decided to visit another escape room venue just to salvage the evening and have a more enjoyable experience, which we did. Unfortunately, this experience left a poor impression, and I can't say I'd return or recommend it based on our visit.

My friends and I did their Zodiac room this week on vacation and it was delightful! If you read…read morethrough my history of reviews, you'll see I do a lot of escape rooms. This was a solid room. Great immersion, puzzles were all logical, nothing felt extraneous. The real thing I want to call out is our game supervisor, Margot. For some background, I do theatre fight and intimacy coordination. There is very specific language around consent and how to interact with people calmly safely. Zodiac has a very intense opening and the game supervisor has to do a lot of clear explanations and needs to physically move and place you. Margot was beyond exceptional at this. When they moved us, they were very careful but direct. Normally, you might feel a little shaky having someone else move you around, but their support was clear and direct without being forceful. I was VERY impressed by their work in this. They were also an excellent game master: clues were helpful without giving it away, they directed us back to where we needed to go if we were super off target All in all, while this room tanks towards the upper middle range of the ~250 I've done, Margot is easily one of the top 5 game masters I've ever had. They made the experience ten times better.

There are multiple rooms, and we solved almost all of the puzzles even though there wasn't any sort of feedback for someone other than the guide telling us we'd done it.

If you're looking for an experience that feels more Disney than other escape rooms you might enjoy this one but we felt it was lacking.

There are a few rooms to go through and that was fun. They have a lot of lockers (with free locks!) Foe heavy coats/bags, etc. Some of the puzzles are different takes than what you might expect. You have "Alex" with you at all times. Sometimes it is helpful. The bad: The rooms are time gated because the group in the room in front of you has to finish or fail before you can move on. That means sometimes you wait or they give you the equivalent of busywork until the next room opens. It would be better to have optional video filler at that time. They have a lot of video sequences that don't give clues and are too long. If I am trying to figure out a puzzle next to a screen, I don't want to be randomized by a video unrelated to the activity. The rooms are pretty noisy. If you have a listening puzzle it is hard to hear. Parking nearby is spendy. The worst IMO? YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR YOUR PICS AT THE END. That really irritated me. It's not a cheap ticket and having an electronic copy of a photo should be part of the package IMO. You can also choose to tip your "Alex" at the end. They aren't the most complicated puzzles especially if you are an experienced puzzler. All of them involve tech which was interesting... The only physical locks were ones on the lockers outside. I think it may be the only escape room we've done where there wasn't a single lock to solve! We solved all the puzzles and made it out.

I am so excited to write this review, for context I did work here for a bit, but note that my…read morereview is based off of experience with The Escape Game before and after working here. This place is EPIC. Seriously. The game design is top notch, the game guides actually pay attention to you when you're in the rooms so they know what you've done and tried, they don't watch several games at once, and they actually CARE if you had a good time. Prior to them arriving in Seattle my wife and I had done all but one of their games in different cities (DC, Nashville, San Francisco) and were thrilled that they came through with Cosmic Crisis, one we had not done. On top of the rooms and general customer service being top notch - the space is clean. Being in facilities both my wife and I judge places by their restrooms - and The Escape Game Downtown Seattle has consistently had a pristine restroom - and frankly? That counts.

This is such a fun and unique bar experience in Seattle!…read more It's a great place to meet up with friends since there is plenty to do besides just getting drinks. I'm a big fan of their hot honey pizza, and their tap cider is always a great choice as well. The food and drinks make this a spot I'm happy to come back to, especially when looking for a more casual night out with friends. The space can get pretty busy and loud during peak hours, but I think that adds to the energetic feel of the bar. The service has been friendly, and overall I've always had a good experience here. Jupiter Bar is definitely a unique spot compared to other bars in Seattle, and I'd recommend checking it out if you're looking for games, good food, and a fun vibe.
