This was my first Escape room actually really fun but felt like it was way to expensive to be so easy. We finished with 18mins to go.

Emails between escape key and me (customer)

If i could give 0 stars i would. After emailing and calling twice today, i hesrd back that their internet is down 25 minutes before the appointment. Which we already had left to. Pictured is me booking it on the email (since they didn't answer when I called). I send the email around 12:30 this afternoon to not hear back from them until around 6. Pretty unprofessional. I get things happen but communication is in their control. Should be better. No excuses.

Something different, unique and an all around great time. I had family visiting from Reno and we ran out of ideas where to take them. Heard good reviews about this place from Yelpers so we decided to give them a try. Ended up having a great time. Everyone was very involved and engaged. The staff was awesome and our Rogue agent was fantastic. We did the Impossible room. Will definitely be back to play the other themes.

The entrance outside. Can't post pictures of the rooms.

Best date I have had in a long time! Skip dinner and a movie and come here! 60 minutes to solve a series of clues to escape the room. Very well done and challenging. Sherlock Holmes feel to it. They take groups up to 10. We had 9 and only knew the 4 we came with. Had a blast still. Definitely come with a bigger group, more minds to solve the puzzles. The owners were super nice too. Clean place in downtown SLC close to Washington Square. Can't wait for more rooms to open and solve the puzzles there.

We had no idea what we were getting into..

This was my 63rd escape room, and my second favorite. The clues were unoriginal, and had nothing to do with the theme. The decor was poor. Overall, a lackluster experience. Low quality doesn't even cover it. Definitely skip it!

My cousins and I tried the Lair of Lunacy and "escaped." We were there with strangers and it was still fun!

The guy checking us in said it was his favorite, so we got lucky getting this room so last minute. The staff was so attentive and was ready whenever we needed clues! We also loved how innovative the room was with the different tricks we had to use to figure out the clues! I loved that it wasn't just a bunch of locks but there were some riddles and other things needed to figure out the clues! I would love to come back here and try another room! The lobby is also so cute and great for pictures!

Other escape rooms where saying we had to pay for 4 people minimum even if we didn't have that many people. The staff was very enthusiastic and nice. They explained things completely and made sure we were ready before starting. We tried the mad scientists- "Find the Antidote" room and it was very achievable with only 3 people. As it was happening, the clues seemed hard but then after the fact, it really wasn't that bad. Make sure you are completely doing each lock because I had team members who tried locks and it wouldn't work but when I tried the same thing, it worked for me. They do require masks in the rooms and they sanitize them well after each group.

I hosted my boyfriend's ugly sweater-themed birthday celebration at this venue, and overall, the…read moreexperience was very fun & enjoyable! We selected Christmas-inspired games to enhance the festive atmosphere, which added an extra level of fun and engagement for our guests. The event hosts were professional, enthusiastic, and a pleasure to work with throughout the experience. The party package included unlimited drinks during gameplay, which was appreciated, and the option to add catering was a convenient feature--which I did end up adding. The only area for improvement that I would recommend is greater attention to detail regarding their add-ons. I had added a mini trophy and ribbon as part of our party package; however, these items were not provided until after the event had concluded and many guests had already departed. This was disappointing, as the add-on was intended to be part of the celebration itself. Overall, though, the event was a success, and we'll definitely be back for more:)

Colby was our host and Justice was our producer, and they completely made the experience. They were funny, engaging, and knew how to read the room and tailor the games to our group. We had so much fun that we decided to stay for a second game. We did both Classic and Prime Time and honestly can't decide which one we liked more. Both were so fun and really felt like you were on a game show. This was easily the most fun we've had together in a long time. What really stood out was how customized the whole experience felt. It wasn't just running through a script. Colby and Justice made it feel personal and special, which took it to another level. If you're looking for something fun and different to do in Salt Lake City, this is it. We can't wait to come back next time we're in town.
