    Very fun escape room! No spoilers We did the magic themed escape. My group has a bunch of first timers and generally not great puzzlers but we still managed to beat the room with 7ish minutes to spare. The room was thematic and our guide kept in character both during the intro and when we asked for hints. There were plentyful problems to keep everyone busy working and nothing was convoluted or too obscure. Highly recommend!

    Have been to a few escape rooms in other States and this one close to home in West Seattle was on my list for a while. We booked a slot for 4 if us on a Saturday and went in for Trapped in Space. Finding the entrance to this place was a little bit of a challenge but then thats why you have to report 15mins early! Once we got in we checked in, kept out belongings in lockers and our host walked us through the briefing. We felt this escape room was doable even with lesser folks but it was a smart one! We managed to escape with 12seconds remaining and felt really good! We could ask as many clues and some of the clues were direct helping us progress to the next step. Every minute we were all engaged finding different clues and answers and looking for pointers. All in all we enjoyed our escape room experience here.

    WE ESCAPED!

    As a first-time Escape Room-ee, I could not have imagined a better experience! Prior to going into the room, they have an escape wall in the lobby. I'm so thankful for this small set of puzzles since I honestly had no idea what to expect once we were inside! Our group of seven did "Trapped In Space". I won't give away any of the nitty-gritty details, but trust me when I say it was anxiety-inducing (in a good way!), challenging, and full of twists and turns. Plus, we got to wear space suits!! And... WE ESCAPED with only three minutes to spare, after using only two hints. I don't think we could have completed this room without all the wonderful minds we had in there! The staff here is exceptional. They do a fantastic job of setting the mood, getting you in the correct mindset, and making sure you are having fun. I can see why people get addicted to these things. My group and I definitely will go back and try the other two rooms. We're aiming to get on the leaderboard for at least one of the rooms!

    Despite how close this place is to me, I never gave it a try before because rooms were public/had a chance of playing with strangers unless you bought all the spots. The silver lining of COVID-19 is that rooms are now private. You to have to wear a mask the entire time. They have masks available if you forget, along with gloves if you want. I played all 4 rooms in the last month (one a week) in this order: - Spell Struck - Dive to Atlantis - The 13th Floor - Trapped in Space These were rooms #32-35 for me. We did each with a group of 3. The first 3 rooms, everyone had at least the same level of escape room experience. The fourth room, we had one person where this was his third escape room ever. Still, I thought 3 was a good group size. The rooms were physically smaller than some other places I've been, but they made great use of the available space. Theming was immersive. You get a victory button if you escape, and the buttons "level up" for additional wins. It's a cute touch! You can also get a Seattle escape room passport here for $10. If you do one room at each participating company, you earn a mug and T-shirt! This is how I'd order the rooms per my level of enjoyment: 1. Spell Struck: I felt it has the best variety of puzzle mechanics. Escaped in 54 minutes. 2. Dive to Atlantis: You're in a shaking submarine! The motion was pretty fun, but you can turn it off if you prefer. Escaped in 50 minutes. 3. Trapped in Space: We found this one to be the hardest because we got stuck a couple times and needed hints. Escaped in 60 minutes, 3 seconds. We were just over the time limit, but counting it as a win! 4. The 13th Floor: This one also has motion for the elevator (that you can turn off if preferred). This one felt like it had more standard locks to solve than the others. I believe they plan to revamp it soon. Escaped in 43 minutes.

    Such a fun place to come for an activity!…read more We went early on Saturday which I highly recommend! If you walk in after 11 am, you most likely will be looking at a long wait. However, it's worth it IMO! Weekends are busy and there's generally a wait. However, I opted to paint outside and got seated right away. They have a great selection of items to paint. I picked two jars. They have a variety of supplies that allowed me to bring my vision to life! The number of colors they have to select from is vast too. They have a wide range of brushes and tools, and I appreciated their two sizes of paint pen detail bottles--perfect for writing! Nicky was so helpful and accommodating. He reviewed how the pair a work and the process thoroughly but succinctly. He brought my chosen pieces out to the table since I had my dog with me. It is dog friendly outside! Not sure about inside. Check out was pretty seamless, and Erica did a great job with my checkout! The prices for the pieces are comparable to ones I saw at another similar establishment, which was good to see.

After every piece, I kept thinking "alright that's my favorite!" As it turns out, I loved them all. And so did my gift recipients! Bonus that they came in gorgeous packaging. The macarons were also very good and melted in my mouth. My favorite macaron flavor was the lemon because it had a strong tang that cut through the sweetness. (Lemon is not usually my favorite flavor for dessert!) I'm disappointed that I didn't know about Hot Chocolat much sooner. But I do know that I will be back soon for more treats. Solid 5 stars.
