This is the third escape room style attraction Ive visited with my husband. The first was too hard, the second was too easy and this one was just right.The game operator was wonderful about showing us specific locks and how they work. The clues, riddles and puzzles were difficult but not impossible and the game operator was wonderful about catching if we may be misstepping on how to open a specific lock or puzzle.We used the Groupon online for a discount.I would definitely do this again and recommend this location.

This place is awesome!! I actually proposed to my girlfriend in the “Crazy Ex” room. It was a great theme to surprise her, and she had no clue that it was coming.The room was probably the hardest room that we’ve (our group of 4) have done. We needed all 3 clues, but still had a fantastic time! We solved it, and the proposal went off perfectly as planned. They were totally accommodating, helped make sure everything was set up just right and made sure it worked the way we planned.We even stuck around to try the 10 minute escape room, just as an added challenge, and we loved it. I would highly recommend trying it, especially for only $10 a person.We’ll definitely be back to try their other rooms!Thanks again Break Escape!!!

Awesome place. This was our first escape room and it was a lot of fun. We were unable to make our original time and the owner came to help us on his day off! We will definitely be back. Please check this place out!

The best place I’ve been so far! Friendly staff. Difficult in a way I haven’t experienced a room before so it was a nice challenge. Especially loved the 10 minutes room.

We celebrated two children who are turning 8 at Break Escape last night. Mark, the owner, was so kind to us. He made the night such a fun experience for children who are a bit younger and needed an extra hand solving clues. He gave us extra hints and extra time so that we escaped. The girls had a blast. I would highly recommend the Break Escape for your entertainment and birthday party needs. Thank you, Mark! I wish Break Escape much success! I would love to come back to have an adult party!

Really glad we found this place. Weve done many rooms before and there were puzzles that gave us a run for our money. We found the rooms challenging and fun. We appreciated the unique themes. Definitely recommend.

Such a fantastic place, and a different kind of entertainment that honestly anyone can contribute to and enjoy. Ive been here with a mix of friends and family members for a few rooms, and everybody always has a great time. The owners very obviously put a lot of time into creating fun scenarios that go along with the rooms, and scheming up different clues and mechanisms for people to solve. A great place to check out for an interesting adventure!

My fiancee and I loved our experience at Break Escape. We did the Entry Denied room (saving the Crazy Ex room for some of our wedding party) and it was a blast.Ive done more than 350 escape rooms around the world, and this was the first time I encountered a customs office theme. It was set up very well with good, unique puzzles that were challenging without being frustrating.The room had a lot to do and rewarded attention to detail. There was a lot of content packed into the room but the hint system helped keep us moving when we got stuck.We really enjoyed our time and will be back soon to try the other room!

My friend and I escaped from both Entry Denied and My Crazy Ex while in the area; we also were asked to participate in a beta test of their newest, upcoming room release (reunion road trip gone bad). Break Escape is purposely trying to be unique amongst the world of escape rooms with their customs office and pre-wedding stress themes. Even their newest room has an element of surprise that I havent seen so purposefully designed into a room before in the approximately 100 rooms I have done.

This place was AMAZING!!! It was challenging enough to keep us scratching our heads, but not to difficult that you felt defeated. Marc was an absolute joy to talk to and was very helpful in explaining what to expect. I highly recommend this place!!!! P.S we escaped with 3 minutes left!

Our family of 4 adults went to Break Escape. We did the Entry Denied Escape room. We were challenged, engaged, felt the time pressure to solve the challenge. We really enjoyed the experience. It was challenging and engaging, but not overwhelming.We will definitely be back to try other challenges.

Probably the best escape room I’ve done. The room was challenging but not to the point where it wasn’t fun. And extremely cheap.

This was my first time trying an escape room and it was a blast! I really enjoyed how the puzzles required old school thinking outside the box. The owner was super friendly and helpful. I definitely recommend this place ... especially for double dates!

I did the room with My Crazy Ex with 3 other couples just because the room sounded so wild and fun. And believe me it was a blast!!! I dont want to give anything away but I will tell people the main lights in the room are turned off - very cool idea. Cant wait to go back and try their other room and the owners said they are adding 2 more rooms in January - I highly recommend

I’ve done many escape rooms and My Crazy Ex was one of the best I’ve done. We had 5 people and were able to escape at the last minute. Very challenging, creative and fun! I highly recommend.

Our first experience with escape room.... had a good time, would go again. We had 4 in our group, which worked well with the size of the room.

My wife and I took our kids and friends, Awesome escape room! They did the Entry Denied Escape Room and had a lot of fun. It wasnt easy for them and one hour was barely enough to escape.Definitely bringing them back to this place for another challenge soon.

Had a great time at Break Escape with my friends. The staff was friendly and informative which helped since it was our first time. We did the Entry Denied escape room, the room itself was creative and challenging. Planning to do the My Crazy Ex escape room next time.

Review №37

Went with family the week of Thanksgiving; wasnt sure to expect, since the place looked pretty small from the outside, but it turned out to be a really nice little experience. Rooms were themed, well put together, and a remarkably good use of space - the one we did was smallish, but big enough for a party of 7 (including some very tall n sturdy folks) to play without tripping over each other. Our very competitive group got through with no help, but there was a call-for-help option that would be good for newbies too.Owner was friendly and mentioned ideas for several other room themes - worth checking back for new ones even if youve already been!
