Looking to do an escape room? GO HERE!…read more I'm visiting from California and had asked my Utah cousins if they'd want to do an escape room. Some were like "what the heck is an escape room?" while others were like "HECK YES!" We did: The Curse of the Black Rose. I have done about a dozen escape rooms by now, all over the country, and LET ME TELL YOU: Escape Gate is one of the best I've ever done. Hands down. I wish they had a location in Orange County so I could take everyone I've ever met! The staff is fantastic, for starters. The game? Freaking amazing. Very well designed, awesome decor, super creepy in the best of ways. This is also the first escape room I've ever done with a live actor and MAN OH MAN did that step it up a major notch! Loved it. DO IT. You'll love it, too. If you don't, well...I'm sorry for you. Seek help. (For the record - we should've escaped WAY sooner but we're FAMILY so we HAD to spend a LOT of time arguing. It's only natural.)

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.

We were 12 to solve all the puzzles and to get out of the room, which was way too many people. I would strongly recommend booking the whole room for yourself. Puzzles are pretty easy and we were expecting something a little more elaborated. We had fun because we were together but it just feels like they try to put as many groups/people as possible in this truck/day. And gosh.. Please put more AC. 12 people in one small room..we were dying! I have done similar eskaped rooms before and I would not go back to this one..

We're told that we were an exception, so who knows. We all had a blast and were able to talk about communication and team strengths afterwards. This was perfect for what we needed.

But she wasn't very helpful, she was a little rude and kept telling everyone what to touch and not to touch.

We had such a wonderful time the last escape room we played in a Salt Lake City community…read more(previously reviewed), we decided to try another adventure while visiting Ashton Gardens at Thanksgiving Point, this one very appropriately called The Escape Date in (the also appropriately named!) Pleasant Grove. Many of their rooms are designed for two people in mind, and the themes all looked so good, it was hard for us to decide on which game we wanted our first to be. Eventually, we settled for The Sweet Escape, and it proved to be a great choice. The Escape Date is located within different clusters of shopping malls - it is itself set up like many of the escape rooms in Orange County - not really good for showroom shopping, but easy parking, easy to find (go down the stairs!), and great for letting your imagination run wild when designing a quest! There is no café right next door, but plenty of nourishment establishments are located a short drive away. We stopped off at Beans and Brews right before our game, so we were properly caffeinated and ready when we met up with Elizabeth, our game host, in the small but nicely-decorated parlour. Elizabeth could have walked right off the set of The Good Shop Lollipop or Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory. As it turned out, we were not trying to escape from anything. In fact, we were competing for a chance of a lifetime: to take over sweet magnate Louis VonSweet candy empire! Happily, we did not have to sit through an entire pre-filmed game rules video, and after a short introduction delivered by VonSweet himself, we were left to get started on our task. The video also served as a timer during our game, but clues were slipped to us under the door. Like other what we have come to call "First Generation" games, this fun hour had us solving riddles and linear puzzles, adding up numbers and being not just hands-on, but nose, eyes, ears and tastebuds on as well. The conventional locks and magnets all worked, and we did not think twice about it being a single room because we were fully engaged the entire time we were there. We loved how strictly they kept to the theme, and, even though I was a little reluctant to try one of the puzzles, that puzzle turned out to be my favourite challenge in the game. The maze, challenging our hand-eye coordination, was another memorable obstacle to our inheritance ... The Sweet Escape is the perfect date adventure, with a most delicious (ha!) price-point. It is also a full 60-minute game, and because we had just completed a 20-minute game, we outpaced ourselves and managed to become candy millionaires in 43:44! We loved the very flattering victory photos Matthew (also dressed in deference to theme) took of us on our phone, and when we used the restroom after our game, we found ourselves kept busy there, too! The Escape Date was a marvellous find, and we're thrilled to find even more games available that are built for a 2-person team. We can't wait to check them out again - it won't be long!

Each one is…read moreunique in that the clues are different, the room setup is themed and you never know just what type of puzzles or challenges you'll have to master to get out. This room started out great-we did the Lair of Lunacy and were appropriately briefed that we would start in the dark and what we specifically needed to "solve" to get out. (I'm purposely leaving out details to not give anything away.) Part way through our time, we came across a clue that was very robust and even had some directions that should have led us to solving that piece. One member of our group spent a ton of time on this one challenge and grew increasingly frustrated with it. He knew how to solve it, but it was not leading anywhere. Another part of the room had a similar clue that looked to be well-thought out and complex, but it never morphed into anything that would help us proceed. We eventually made it out of the room and asked about those two clues. We were told that they were both "red herrings." We believe that they were originally part of the game and that some of the components malfunctioned and they had to remove those clues. You can still get out of the room, obviously, but those items were major time wasters. I understand placing things to add confusion and that not everything leads you to a clue, but these were so complex and "in your face" that I truly believe they were originally part of the game. It's too bad, because what we think they were supposed to do would have been really cool.
