Pretty good place, I have done many of these and I found a few of the clues in this a poor design (or in a few of the clues printing was kind of rubbed off which made the pazzle more difficult)which led to a little more guessing than any others that I have done. The very first puzzle was really hard and took the first 25 minutes and when we got a hint it was kind of a waste because it was a part we had already figured out. Overall entertaining, I would do it again.

I have done other escape rooms in the past this on was a bit disappointing. The entrance was a nice way to get you excited about the adventure. We started playing and had to pause due to the clues not being in the right spots. Some of the puzzles were worn down making it hard to finish. I would give them one more try before i move on.

I messaged them through Facebook about a booking because I could not get through on the phone they looked at my message and ignored me.

The escape rooms are fun, and just the right amount of challenge to keep things interesting. The gamemasters are fantastic and made sure the group had a blast! Definitely recommend this place for anyone looking to do something a little different with their night out!

Went with a big group and everyone loved it. Very fun experience. Staff were very friendly and got us right in. Nate was especially helpful and even showed us how they make some the the effects in the room after we escaped. Really cool place and I highly recommended

We didn’t get the chance to enjoy the escape room we had reserved- when we got there last night for a 6:30 reservation for the temple room - they didn’t have it but seen she had called - so as difficult as it is for the 6 of our family to get together- needless to say we were very disappointed... the fact that our compensation was 10% off was a joke , she said we could wait til 8 o’clock and go in with 4 other people into that room - this was our family little adventure- not a social one - knowing it’s not hard to reset the room after a room has been tried - we could of been compensated better than 10% - weather or not you care about our business at your rooms , I’m not sure , but very unprofessional in my opinion-

My nephew and I went into the one room puzzle. Had several clues to solve, a time limit, and allowed some points for clues. Would be easier with more people, but thanks to my smart nephew we made it through.

Not too impressed. We have been to quite a few escape room places in our travels but this one had the cheapest feel and atmosphere. We wont be back.

Double booked our reservation so our party of 6 could not do escape room.

Okay for what you pay for. I have done several escape rooms now and I have definitely seen superior set ups. Some puzzles felt a bit lazy and half finished. Some logical leaps required to connect things. Hard to get everyone involved as the puzzles were pretty linear and focused on one item at a time. Overall I would give it another shot but would like to see more multi-room escapes.

We were told we had to wait about an hour to do it, and so we did. When it came time to pay, we were told to pay a different price than what we were originally told, so we decided not to do it and wasted about an hour of our time. With that being said, I did not actually get to experience the inside and everything that it entailed.

While some of the puzzles were put together poorly, it was a lot of fun. The staff was very friendly and scenarios were pretty challenging (which is essential to a good escape room). Overall a great experience

One of the most fun things I have ever done. To say more would spoil the fun. Check it out.

This place was awesome. Worked well with our team members and accomplished our goal and ESCAPED. Recommend these activities for any organization or company looking to offer their employees team building exercises.

The Office was pretty bad. As soon as I opened the room, I should have asked if we could switch. It was small, dingy, and not decorated very well. It looked like a very crappy office.Ive done several escape rooms and Ive noticed that from the appearance you can get an idea of the quality of the escape room.For $28 each, this was not worth it. This room was all padlocks, a few puzzles, pick up clues that are sticking out around the room, look at papers. Nothing physical. Several puzzles did not match the storyline. Puzzle pieces were worn so you couldnt tell which you needed to use e.g. (fake example) look for the man in the red shirt but you couldnt tell if the shirts in the pictures were red, brown, or orange, etc.They tried to make the story funny in the introduction video you watch in the room, so that was one plus. However, the room needs a complete redecoration and new puzzles. The Office description was inaccurate; it made the room sound dramatic, when it was specifically made to be mundane.I would not recommend The Office to anyone... unless they had never worked in an office and wanted to see what it would be like to be trapped in a boring, depressing, space for an hour and be happy to leave.The other good things: our game master guy was nice, we got to hang out with our friends, we escaped with 1 minute, and t-shirts were only $10.

Our group was not able to escape as we were told that our clues were given in the wrong order and the placement of the clues were not in the right boxes. A big disappointment as the group of girls I was with was totally looking forward to this.

Went here as part of a team-building thing with my peers from work and we had a great time! We escaped our room with just 30 seconds to spare. Make sure to use your hints effectively, and early.

I loved the Escape Bloomington. My group had a wonderful time. We will do it again.

Review №22

It was an escape room, which automatically makes it an interesting experience, but I found this one to be lacking. We did the Pirate theme. It was a linear line of clues, meaning that really there was only one task to be done at once, and everyone else was just watching. Even with 3 people, we felt like we had to compete to participate.Customer service was iffy as well- I have the flu and my brother had a migraine but we couldnt reschedule... so I hope you got your vaccines. ;) Well be giving our business to the competition soon.

Disappointing. Clues were not helpful. Problems were unclear. Guy in charge told us no one had gotten out of the room in the hour. Not surprised.

The Alien Invasion room was sub par. After solutions to certain puzzles were finally arrived at via hints. We were like really?! How could anybody figure that out without a hint?!
