    The introduction video

    I've been to this place 3 times and do not be fooled by the outside this is the BEST escape room. The puzzles are challenging and fun and the staff is AMAZING and super friendly. I recommend this place to all my friends and it's super affordable

    This was my first escape room experience and definitely not my last. Room Escape USA was clean and had plenty of parking. It is advised to arrive 10-15 earlier than your start time. The instructor was waiting for our group upon walking in and did a great job at briefing us on the rules and protocols for the escape room. Before you start, there are lockers in the lobby to store personal belongings. There were 2 escape rooms available, Dr. Ensaine which has more complicated puzzles and Family Secrets which requires more teamwork. I attempted the room Dr. Ensaine with a group of 6 at the private room rate of $173 as opposed to $25 per person.  Dr. Ensaine had a 40% success rate and proved to be entertaining and challenging. The rooms were extremely well designed and detailed to each theme. The room is manageable within the 60 minute time constraint. My group of first-timers finished right at 60 minutes mark. There are many red herrings throughout the escape room but I liked how the puzzle clues for Dr. Ensaine came full circle. Would recommend 10/10!

    This day became the day I found out - if I'm ever held hostage or trapped somewhere with my oldest brother we are SOL or it's going to be up to me to get us out. I was fiending to do an escape room and Ravenchase was all booked. I found this company with one available time slot, and was ready to book it on the phone as my brother and I were enroute to Richmond. I was ready to go ahead and go mission "solo" to participate in the escape room with strangers, when the voice on the other line said-"you're it, there's no one else booked for this room." I looked at my older brother giving him the " you owe me this "look. I had no luck recruiting my brother's friend or his kids to go, due to schedule constraints . My brother gave in, not knowing what to expect. This is where the adventure begins and reality sets in. We were handcuffed in the dark with a minuscule amount of light coming from an artificial flickering flame left to search for clues and hints to unlock our handcuffs. We had high hopes that our Sherlock Holmes' skills would lead us to find out the secrets our grandpa Earl had been hiding before he returned. He was the one after all that "locked" us up. I began to quickly yell to my brother if he could see anything that might help us. With a slow response of "I don't know.." uttered from my brother I began to become furious and irritated yelling expletives at him. The entire time he remained calm and as an older brother does, reminded me to watch my language. I began to lose my patience and confidence wondering if I am as smart as I think I am. Hahaha with a reminder from our "lookout" aka game master he reminds us to look for visual clues. I began to look around and soon realized the correlation of what I see and we are able to undo a lock but not the lock that frees us just yet. I realize after communicating to our" look out" and having talked out loud that I should have listened to my own hunch to try the key I had first found. This was after 15-20 minutes later. Without giving the secrets of the room - suggestions for any escape room is : search and sweep, work as a team, someone needs to take lead and communication will make or break you. Most importantly when in doubt check it out- usually your hunch is right and if you don't try it you might not ever know if it will work! Josh, the owner did an excellent job guiding us with hints when we asked and knowing when we were struggling without babying us. The props were quality and gave life to the storyline. The puzzles were cohesive and streamlined and made complete sense. I thoroughly enjoyed my time being held "hostage" by grandpa Earl. Josh even encouraged my brother to be more engaged in the task at hand and had him solve the last two clues. HAHA.. I learned a lot about myself and my older brother. We need to work on better communication skills. I tend to switch roles of leader and follower when I'm in different group dynamics when approaching issues, problems or "clues." I realize I know when to step in and when to pull back and where I can prove most useful when I'm not actively able to solve a puzzle or if there's too many hands in the puzzles. It's as important to be able to recognize that your role in working as a team can be just as dynamic as future goals and issues are ever changing. You can be an active participant in life's adventures or passively live. Escape into another world at Room Escape USA and you just might find yourself in a different way!! I give it two high fives!! Come and be a sleuth and slay some clues in an adventure you might not otherwise find yourself! Come get immersed!!

The room/location is "low tech" compared to others and looks... more hand done than others I've played. Not a bad thing but would have lowered the rating. What saved rating was the expansiveness of the room. I don't want to give away details but the whole room felt like it kept opening doors to more areas. I love that feeling. Sorta more bang for your buck. All in all, we'd definitely go back.

Myself and one friend had only done an escape room one other time with the rest never having done one. The guy running the room was very down to earth and calmed our nerves. He explained the rules and safety guidelines very well. When we were in the room, it was so fun and some of the puzzles were really out of the box. The guy would chime in and give hints that would let you know, "hey you're wrong" without giving too much away. It had some physical aspects in this room, but nothing too bad, mostly crawling. I'm very happy with our experience and would definitely come back. Not to mention the prices were very reasonable.

    Red Vein was a lot of fun, and this was a great first time experience!…read more While I have done a number of the haunts local to the Richmond area, this was my first time at Red Vein. I had heard it was one of the better ones and they certainly delivered. A bit under $25 gets you a bit over an hour's scare-ntertainment, which is a lot per hour but it's a jam-packed hour so it works. When you arrive, there are employees directly traffic to parking, which are unmarked grass spaces. Front workers were nice and a handful of scarers were walking around to psyche folks up for the experience. You end up waiting in a few lines here and there: ticket purchase, front gate, and then a line for each of the four experiences, all tied together with a sort of loose cult/corporate storyline. Each one is a lot of fun and there are plenty of clever layouts and props to keep you guessing about where the next scare will come from. One of the toughest things to do at these places is pace lines, since if folks get squished together the scarers can't reset effectively. Unfortunately we happened to be behind the slowest group known to man and in front of a group of scared teens who could not wait to be done with the whole thing. This took away from the experience a bit but I chock it up to bad luck rather than Red Vein. Ultimately this turned out to be an awesome place to commemorate spooky season and I would absolutely do it again next year! Overall: 4.5 stars ---- Pros: - Great staff, both the front workers and the scare crew. - Fun experience with a lot of variety and creativity. - Great logical flow to the setup to try to pace things better. - Lots of parking. Cons: - Sometimes bad luck in group placement will hinder your experience, and while that happened to us, hopefully it won't to you. - Price isn't terrible but it is a lot for a brief experience. - Making a more permanent parking setup (or at least spraying some lines in the grass) would go a long way to making entrance and exit better.
