This place truly lives up to the claim of being the best escape rooms in Tallahassee! In fact, I would argue they're up with the best in all of Florida. We did all three rooms in one night and had a great time, and we're super excited to see the fourth room when it comes out! We started with Murder in London which, from the time you enter the door, felt like being transported to the past. The environment felt nicely immersive with some great decor and layout. The theming was on point and made for a great area to explore. My one critique of this room is that the searching aspect could be tedious, especially for one of the final puzzles. Otherwise, most of the room was fairly intuitive and lots of fun. Wizard's Tower was our next room and we would have absolutely adored it if the mechanic was just a little more clearly explained. If you're a fan of non-linear rooms, this will be right up your alley, but for us it was just a little too non-linear with us trying to solve a puzzle we didn't realise wasn't ready to be solved and losing a fair amount of time. That said, the staff were super generous and added time to allow us to work through the room to conclusion. Granted we were lucky to not have anyone immediately behind us, but the fact they were willing to give us extra time to solve everything was wonderful and greatly appreciated. Finally, Secrets of the Pharaohs was probably our lowest ranked room but still fun, for sure. A much more straightforward room than the other two, it's probably the best one for a warmup. Similar to many Egyptian tomb rooms but unique enough to be fun and with no reliance on locks, keys, or codes. We'll be keeping an eye out for that fourth room and hope to be able to play it ourselves! read more

This is the second escape room I do. I was not expecting much, but to my surprise, they had set up this escape room rather well. A group of six signed up to do the "Murder in London" escape room. I thought it was interesting that they managed to cram so many objects in such little space - except really, it wasn't that little as you began to solve the games. Although this isn't per se my cup of tea (nothing against it except I rather use my brain doing other things - I personally am not a fan of riddles), this was a fun time. They have several options present at this location, and my friends and I were already talking about returning and doing another one of the rooms. We will see when that happens. Worth a visit at any rate. read more

We had a really great experience--especially as first-timers! We completed Mystery in the Mausoleum with just one minute to spare, which made it even more exciting. The puzzles were clever and engaging, and the atmosphere was immersive. We're already planning to come back and try the other rooms! read more

Definitely my favorite escape rooms in Tallahassee. The theming is excellent and the puzzles are well thought out and make sense. The three rooms range in difficulty, London being the easiest and Wizard's Tower the hardest. I highly recommend having the maximum amount of people in the Wizard's Tower. IT IS TOUGH. The London room can feel a little cramped if there are a lot of people though. Only problem we really had was that the game master does take a while to respond if you need a clue, and that happened with every room we did. read more

This was so much fun!!! My family had a great time and solved the murder in the last minute! As time ticked my our hearts raced!

Hourglass Escape Room: Secrets of the Pharaohs was a great indoor 13th birthday party activity. Even the 9 year old and 40 year old had a great time. The staff was amazingly kind and in character the entire time. Don't let the plain "Escape Rooms" sign outside fool you, because the inside decor is very impressive. It was very easy to book online. read more

We have completed all the rooms and this location by far has the most immersive and interactive escape rooms around!! Highly recommend!!!!

We visited here for the first time tonight. They were super accommodating-- we just walked in and they had an open room. The puzzle guide was very knowledgeable and helpful, and you could tell they enjoyed what they did. We were so impressed by the room we did (Secrets of the Pharaohs). It was no ordinary escape room. Although we didn't escape (I think 2 people might be too few -- it would have been helpful to have 4 people) we would recommend this to anyone and we would do it again anytime! My only disappointment was that the room was very dim, by design, and you had to hold a "torch" so it meant that most of the time one person was just a torch holder, looking for clues, while the other person just stood around. You couldn't really see much without it. Again, not their fault... I know it's supposed to add to the experience, but I thought if each person could have a light source, it would have gone faster. read more

Went with my husband and some friends and had an absolute blast! It was the most detailed escape room I've been to. We will definitely be back! read more

This Escape Room was great quality and really fun! From the minute you walk in, they do a great job of setting up an ambience with the decor and the worker's costume. We did the pharaoh room and were definitely impressed by the quality of the decor and the fun, hands-on nature of the puzzles. It was really creative and an enjoyable level of difficulty. Our guide Benjamin was friendly and helpful too. Definitely recommend! read more
