Their (now deleted) response to my review on Google. Accidentally put the wrong room and they're maaaddd lol
Monica V.

Disclaimer to start: we finished the room with minutes to spare but the win wasn't satisfying at all. I loved the fact that they had some last minute availabilities on a Saturday night. We booked for the 10:15 bank job room. Parking, first of all, during this time of year is a bit frustrating due to the haunted house. We were lucky to find something nearby on the street but we were rushing in after I received a call at 10, asking if we were going to make it on time. The tone of voice was very abrupt and rude. While I understand you guys have the rule that we *must* arrive 15 minutes prior to game time, we finished all of our waivers within 2 minutes and we waited around for a few minutes after throwing our things in the locker provided because it was really busy that night. We were finally debriefed and the rules of the room were very straight forward but not once did the employee mention that the bricks in the room were *not* part of game play. So then we were walked into a room to watch a video about the room we were about to play in and were given no further direction when it ended. We stood there confused like what are we doing. The employee came back out, mid eating, and said sorry then led us to our room. We finally start the escape room and we're doing our thing when we realize, hey the bricks move! Maybe there's a clue under there? So we start taking the floor apart. A few of us wondered "wow this is a ton of bricks to look under if they actually hid a clue there" and we were really under the impression that she would've told us to stop ASAP, as soon as she found out we were messing with the bricks, especially if we didn't hear anything about NOT using the bricks. A few minutes pass by, and mind you, this is a one hour escape room, (Every. Minute. Counts!!), she finally says "I told you guys not to mess with the bricks" so rudely, we were really caught off guard. Like okay, thanks for telling us NOW? Somehow during this whole mess, we got access to the next part of the room and we were ready to move on until she said, "you guys can't just leave the bricks there, they have to go back where you found them" again, in a very rude tone. Okay fine, so half of us stayed, the other half moved on. Because of all this, there was a small injury that happened to my boyfriend who was trying to put away these dumb bricks. She came out once we asked her for a bandaid and was nice enough to slip him a hint but that was maybe the only nice thing she did all night. Anyway, moving on to the escape room itself... I've done a few escape rooms before and this has to be the worst one I've ever done. Our only saving grace with this room was the fact that we were celebrating a room so we had three free hints. I believe I saw that a hint usually costs 2-3 minutes? Nothing was clear, there were a bunch of miscellaneous things which, in a normal escape room, you're fair game to touch and move around, but this one? We kept getting scolded to not mess with things and it didn't make sense because hello? We're trying to solve things. I don't know if you dread your job and if we were a major inconvenience to your night as a last minute booking, but it doesn't hurt to just be nice?? As previously mentioned, we did escape the room but the ending was extremely underwhelming and anticlimactic, to the point where we didn't even know if we actually won or not? The girl offered to take our picture at the end and somehow it ended up being not the best photo anyway with it being off centered. So petty. All in all, there is no way I would refer friends to go here. Please go to Locurio (Fremont) or Entangled (Marysville and Lynnwood) for much better and well thought out rooms and wayyyy friendlier staff. They also take better photos at the end of the game. Lol! TLDR: rude staff ruined the whole experience from start to finish, you do get free hints if you're celebrating a birthday but you're better off spending your money elsewhere with better parking and rooms. **edit: meant to say bank job room, not cell block.

Escaped the Georgetown Morgue with a time of 39:65!
Sharissa L.

This was our first time at Seattle Escape Games and we started with the easiest room which was The Georgetown Morgue. Parking was a bit tricky as the Haunted Morgue right next door was packed but we managed to find a spot. The Georgetown Morgue room is rated 5/10 difficulty, you get 60 minutes and the recommended team size is 4-8 people. We had 7 people and it was waaaaaay too many! The rooms are small. I would recommend no more than 4-5. The puzzles were very linear (you could really only work on one thing at a time so most of the time one or two people worked on solving something and the rest of us kind of stood around) which is another reason I would recommend a smaller team, you just don't need that many people. The props and the look of the rooms was awesome. Lots of attention to detail. The host was very friendly but I feel like she gave too many clues even when we weren't really stuck. Considering we finished with almost 20 minutes to spare, we definitely didn't need so many clues. This room would be excellent for a smaller group of beginners. All of us have done multiple escape rooms before so this one definitely felt too easy. We definitely plan to go back to try out some of the harder rooms!

I had THE BEST time here! We did the abducted room and it was frightening and sooo fun all at the same time! I recommend this place to anybody and everybody I talk to looking for a fun night with a group! This place is a hoot and it's worth the money spent!!!

The care, experience, atmosphere and attention to every detail is beyond what I was expecting! We had a couple people come and say they are looking at evening their daughter's wedding here. The food, the bride and grooms rooms were so inviting and welcoming. The rehearsal was such a good experience too!! We used the photo van and the hot dog cart.

The space itself is full of character and charm, which meant we didn't have to add much decor. GTB already brings the perfect vibe. Between the ballroom, theater, and patio, we had so many beautiful backdrops for every part of our celebration. The catering was incredible - our guests couldn't stop raving about the food, especially the brisket (which the chef loving tended to into the early morning hours). We also loved that we got to do a tasting beforehand, and the team was wonderful about accommodating dietary restrictions. The bar was just as great! Our specialty cocktail and mocktail were both a big hit. Danielle, the venue manager, was amazing to work with throughout the entire process. Her communication and organization were top-notch, and she was so friendly, knowledgeable, and flexible. On the day itself, Danielle and the GTB team were calm, detailed-oriented, and took care of everything behind the scenes so we could enjoy our wedding without stress. The in-house florist created stunning arrangements, which made things that much easier for us. Everyone we interacted with was warm and welcoming. GTB is very LGBTQ-affirming, and worked seamlessly with our other vendors. We're still getting compliments from guests about how beautiful and effortless everything felt. Georgetown Ballroom truly gave us the wedding of our dreams.

A great location with neighborhood views, access to public transportation and several amenities…read more We attended a Baha'i Naw Ruz (New Year) Party, here and loved the space for its large room, easily accommodating 150+ guests. They allow for outside catering, have tables and chairs set up for you, and offer AV equipment for projecting videos and using the mic. There are sinks and small counter spaces available as well as a large, slightly raised stage two steps up for performances and performers. Overall, a nice space!

I've been to many events at NewHolly both as a guest and a customer. The facility is clean,…read morespacious, and easy to find. A parking lot is available but can fill up quickly, depending on the size of your event and other activities that may be going on. There is an upstairs and downstairs but the hall itself is on the main level (or upstairs). On one side of the building, there is a lounge area near the bathrooms. It is a very clean, well kept space to sit and chill out away from the action. On the other side is the gathering hall. The hall itself has beautiful wood floors and large windows. If your event requires darker quarters, the shades can be drawn easily. Right where the windows are, there is a stage that covers the width of the hall. There are stairs all the way across and two accessible ramps up each side. The stage can fit a variety of needs and they have a podium and other tables that can be set up there, depending on your needs. I've been to most events where round tables are used. Other sets can be with chairs only. There is a sink on each side of the back of the hall as well as areas to hang coats, which I think is a necessity in Seattle. The staff is fantastic! They are flexible and easy to work with in order to meet your needs. I have to say that aside from having things set according to a floor plan, they recognize that it is possible you may have last minute changes and are very accommodating. Before you enter the hall, there is a hallway that can be set as a check-in area. I find that really helpful as people don't get clogged right inside the doors. If you're looking for a facility, you should consider NewHolly. They have tons of information on their website about cost and such. A great facility run by great people. Who could ask for more?

Oh, Seattle Design Center...so much potential as a wedding and large event venue. Yet, so poorly…read moremanaged. Let me explain. We had a beautiful wedding at the Seattle Design Center in May 2012--both the ceremony and the reception in the Atrium (the largest room). The venue is gorgeous--ridiculously high ceilings, full of skylights that bring in natural light, neutral tile flooring, a gorgeous grand staircase--part of the second floor balcony. The square footage is enormous and could easily hold 500 people if you wanted to. The BIGGEST PERK of the SDC: you can bring in your own caterer. That, and it's quite reasonably priced compared to other Seattle venues that would hold 200 or more people The biggest downside: the people who are supposed to be helping you plan your wedding in fact know next to nothing about the wedding business--they are managers at Molly's Salads, the daytime food cart! After booking the SDC officially in April 2011 (13 months before our wedding), our SDC "wedding coordinator" changed THREE TIMES. That meant we had to connect with the newbie each and every time to make sure they could accommodate some of our special needs, like having a small religious fire for our ceremony (don't ask). And also confirming (again and again) the rehearsal time and date, as well as where the bridal party would have space for changing and storing stuff. Needless to say, we had to be very proactive in dealing with the SDC and made sure to get everything in writing. They provided very little outside of signing the contract and some tables and chairs. If it had not been for our stellar wedding planners of Blue Ribbon, this event could never have happened. Thus, I am torn--the SDC is a stunning venue, but really needs to focus on event management and hiring people who know what they are doing.

I've booked two fundraising auctions at SDC, and am about to sign a contract on a third. As the…read moreother review mentioned, they had some turnover, but since last Fall there has been one person in charge of booking, Jenifer, and she is GREAT. The rest of their event staff, the people who are on-site managers during the event, are amazing, too: they helped us with everything from weird electrical stuff to dimming the lights for the video portion to moving stacks of chairs over and over as we got the tables set up, and stayed to the bitter end as our worn out staff and volunteers cleaned up (they clean up their own tables and chairs, we rented additional tables and catering-ware which we had to secure for pick up). Both of our events there looked stunning, and our constituents (who have been to many venues over the years) have only given us positive feedback on the move. Plus it's reasonably-priced AND has its own parking lot. I think this is one of the best venues in the city, and I look forward to putting on more events there in the future.
