Super clean, plenty of distance, so much fun!!

This place is so much fun! I loved the space mission, but all of the rooms have really great puzzles and are super entertaining, even for adults. Amy and Shannon were really wonderful and made the experience even better. I would highly recommend taking a day or two or three to hit up all of the rooms here.

Had no idea what this place was before yesterday. Wife suggested it for part of a day date, and it was awesome. Riddle, adventure, escape room vibes. Staff were fantastic, very accommodating. We didnt have change for the lockers, so they gave us a quarter. Offered to turn off the strobing lights when we asked if they had any. Will be going back.

My corporate team and I came here for a group outing. The puzzles are fun and really well designed for group teamwork, communication and cooperation. They arent especially hard so if you want a tough escape challenge look elsewhere but the awesome sets and production value, as well as the fun of it, more than makes up for that. We went through the Dragos Castle and Outer Space adventures. It felt like visiting a theme park in Buffalo! I would highly recommend 5 Wits for any team or group party.

Says open and theres a sign saying please call and well be right up call 10 times during my trip to the mall with family and no pick up says it opens at 12pm. If ur gonna say call and well be up well pick up the damn phone

Definitely fun. Have done it many times.

It was fun. Did the Deep space adventure; the adventure is guided and gets progressively more challenging as you go along. It was a different approach compared to the escape rooms I have visited previously. Worth a visit

Great for a family with young teens.

I did the space room. It was a lot of fun, however it was not an escape room like it claims. All you do is a series of tasks. There is no searching for clues or finding answers like a normal escape room. It was very disappointing, especially since I paid $50 for two of us and it was a bust.

Need new attractions and lower prices most of the attractions are showing ther age and need to be changed or refreshed and for $150 for 4 people and it only took 15 min that is way to expensive

It was fun! I planned it as a party of a work gathering. I did not like that I could not make reservations prior, I also think that once you go and do all 3 activities it would not be worth going again until they switch them up. We had fun it was challenging at times but still kept us going.

I have gone to 5 Wits at least 4 times already and each time I do all three attractions. I have gone with children (10 and 12 years old) a teenager (15 years old) and adults. My groups have ranged from 2-4 people and I loved each moment of all the adventures I went on and so did everyone I went with. Even after doing the adventures multiple times they are still challenging and fun. The three adventures each have a unique theme and the puzzles are difficult enough to be challenging but not so hard that they cant be solved. Everything appeared clean and in good order. The one adventure (ancient Egypt themed) is slightly scary for some (the 10 y.o. was slightly scared in this adventure). Highly recommend for anyone looking for an adventure!

Brian the guide 2 is amazing and informative. And a real animated character and he made my visit a treat! He deserves a raise!

Its a great environment for kids and adults a like however, I felt a little rushed in the rooms. I understand the adventures are timed and you cant spend all day on one section but a little more time for the puzzles would be nice.

We had a lot of time and tried all three adventures, which ended up having over 1.5 hours of fun. And we’re both around the mid 20’s age range and we didn’t feel like we’re too old for it or anything. Some of the tasks/puzzles were quite challenging in fact, and it’s always fun for a challenge. The overall build quality of the rooms and lighting/designs are really cool and immersive, perhaps some of their video content can use some better production quality, but otherwise, well done. Would highly recommend you try the tomb one if you are only doing one.

This is a great place to have fun with friends and family. Each of the 3 rooms takes around 30-40 minutes depending on how skilled you are. I didnt give 5 out of 5 stars only because I would have liked to have a room with extreme difficulty! But this is a very family-friendly escape room which you can take young kids with you and they will still have fun!

Im only giving it a 4 out of 5 stars because of Tomb. The other two are fun. Ill explain more below but ultimately there were a couple issues I ran into in tomb.Explanation, also I did every puzzle with just 2 people:Castle was fun, though it felt like the princess talked a lot. I do think that it was aimed at the younger crowd so being older it was a bit cheesy but that also made it fun.Space was fun, and hard without giving a lot of hints. It definitely had some interesting puzzle moments while also having a high level of communication.Now when it comes to tomb, we ran into a few issues. Spoiler, big spoiler....The pillars in the last room were very finicky and on two pillars we got it right away. Then the other two we found out you had to line it up slightly off. Which was annoying to lose because of that. The other part, one of the copper plates seemed a bit scratched up which Im not sure if it made the last puzzle harder?Over all theyre a lot of fun but really challenging with two. Space is easily my favorite.

Very fun event for a family of six with three smaller ones. The puzzles were well thought out and rewarding.

The escape room was so fun! Me and my friends tried out the space themed one. When we did the space themed one the worker said she was suprised because we had the best ending!They also sell astronaut ice cream here for like $4. I was going to buy it but I forgot :(

Was totally awesome! Had tons of fun with Jimmy, Edie, and Amy! They were so much fun and so nice to talk to! By far best 5 Wits I’ve done so far!

This place is incredible! If youre looking for a great afternoon with friends or family this is a great place to take them. The prices are reasonable, especially if you pay for all 3 adventures. I love escape rooms, and this isnt the same, but its similar. The adventures are decorated with the same effort that Disney would put into something. The staff was really friendly and gave us a good intro to our adventures. Last thing Ill mention is that if you pay for all 3 adventures and cant finish them, you can always come back and do them without losing your money.

This place was really neat. Good prices and options for parties and private groups.

Omg so much fun! We lost but so much fun lol

Kids and I love this place. Its worthy of disney

Really good activity if you happen to be in the mall with some younger people. Puzzles are not too difficult, lots of physical interaction, cool effects. I would say that if you have some nervous kids, they may get scared at times. There are spots in darkness, scary villains, and large animatronics.Its about $35 for an over or so per person. Not a bad deal at all

Came here for date night and had a blast! Looks like its just for kids but we enjoyed the experience! Prices are reasonable and tokens dont expire !

This place will challenge your wit! It helps to have a group of people who are focused with short term memory. Visually they have a variety of unique surprises. Enjoyed.

O.M.G This place is so much fun the people was very nice and experience I love how the man I was very animated, It was hot and got a little dirty from crawling but it was all worth it EVEN THO WE FAILED Lol

My wife and I took our son and two of his friends here for the first time. We did 2 of the 3 experiences and had a wonderful time. The kids loved how interactive the challenges were. Josh was a great guide, very detailed and played along with some of the kids silly questions. We will definitely be back again!

Super cool! I came as part of my colleges activity team so we didnt pay the full price, which I think would have been too pricey for me even though this place is awesome. They put a lot of work into the rooms and it shows! Very fun, challenging but not crazy difficult. Staff was very kind and reassuring.

Fun place for the whole family

Its a different kind of escape room. Rather than just figuring out a series of puzzles, this one is very interactive. You find yourself trying to replicate a short tune, watching flashing lights, touching wall panels, etc. Personally, I was not a fan, nor was my husband. However, it might be more fun with more people. In general, we prefer the puzzle style of escape room.

Its very creative and fun for kids and adults a like. If you are looking got adventure in your own back yard look no further. Kids Went for a bday party got to experience each room. Awesome time. Had to solve puzzles, work together and conquer fears

5 Wits, 4 Stars.This was a fun place to go with friends, my first experience in a place like this.We were a bunch of upper 20s, low 30 year olds and still had a good time, though I would recommend the best age range would be 8-14 years old, accompanied with a few adults to help out along the way.

Dude had a great personality it was fun and the puzzle was adventurous

Great atmosphere! Unlike any escape room Ive tried. It would be better if the experience were a little longer

Really fun and go to the deep spaceship

Very, very fun. I do a lot of escape rooms and this is along the same lines but it more adventure based. Time flies by and it is good for a wide age base! Would highly recommend. The place is so well decorated it is easy to get lost in the story! Very very fun. Did all 3 adventures.

It was good, alittle pricey, but worth it

Super fun! the escape rooms get changed every so often to its not repetative. definetly recommend for a fun day at the mall. people were super nice and sweet!

So wonderful for outings! Went with my class last year and had a blast! Scheduling a party soon!

Most fun Ive had in years. Cant wait to go again!

Its pricey but fun. Seems to be geared towards children, i.e. all the tasks are super easy to complete. My adult friends and I enjoyed it, though, and there were lots of nerd references throughout!

My daughter loves this place.. fun for adults too!

Super fun but should add more things

I had my staff come here for a team building event and we had a fantastic time! When booking the event, Kurt made it very easy and was super accommodating. The staff was great, they had a great energy for our entire visit (Especially Philip!) Overall a great experience, thank you again!!

Each adventure here is more enjoyable than the last, and still just as fun the second time. Its a blast with a group of friends. Definitely the best adventure rooms we have in Buffalo.

Had a great time with my wife couldnt complete one but had a lot of fun

Awesome time a little crazy but well worth it

Wow! So much fun. We came down from Toronto because we heard about this place. So good! It is very different then your tipical room escape, but still incorporates puzzles and tasks that will make everyone work and think. All the games are great and I highly recommend this place to everyone.

Better than an escape room, we went with two other couples and had a great time! Mix in dinner and drinks and it makes for a great night with or without the kids.

Excellent place. They have 3 themed escape rooms Tomb, Deep Space,& Dragos Castle. There were more than one room for each of the attractions. Clean and family friendly. I would do this with 4 or more people because of the puzzles in the rooms it would be extremely difficult with less than 4 people.But the only issue is some of the sensors you use were very sensitive and you need to hit them hard to make them work. Other than that it was great!

I had a great time at 5 Wits and wood love to go again

First time there. Very entertaining and fun experience with my daughters! Our guide Josh was also very fun and gave fun prep talks for each one The employees were great and I will definitely be back

Amazing immersion! I did all three at this location. My favourite was the Tomb one, it was amazing for team and communication building. The scoring system is a great incentive to come back and try to bet your own score. Special thanks to BeeJay, Chris, and Josh for making my awkward group of Canadians feel welcome!

Help I am trapped! Excellent challenge for the whole family, just dont go alone.

I visited this location with my husband and 12 year old nephew recently. We had a great time. My husband was hesitant about it at first thinking it would be cheesy but it was not at all. The store is well designed and each challenge is thought out well and very realistic. The props are high quality and they put a lot of attention into the look of the rooms. It was challenging for all of us and fun at the same time. I would highly recommend this for an afternoon activity with 3-4 people.

Great energy of all the employees there. We went mid day on a weekday and it was perfect. Not too crowded!! We did all three rooms and the great thing was that they were all different puzzles so it wasnt a copy and paste of the previous room. Worth the $30 for three rooms.

My family and I had a great time at 5 wits! Very interactive, friendly staff, would definitely recommend! Worth the price; however, I would do all three rooms to get a full valued experience.

Great but I wish they would change it up every couple months so could try out some other adventures

Lots of fun for entire family.

We had a great birthday party for my granddaughter here. The kids had a blast and the adults were able to enjoy themselves in the party room without all the ruckus of other parties!

This place is awesome! We came here for fathers day, and first thing as we were checking in and paying, they gave my father-in-law a wrist band to make sure we had private adventures every time. Each room was unique with great logic based puzzles, and super fun. I would definitely say easier with a group of four or more. And one of our group was in a wheelchair from a minor injury, and still able to access everything and participate. They even specially tailored some of the room background story for her. Would recommend and go again!

We had so much fun! I cant wait for them to change up the rooms so that we can do it again!

Had a great time with a three person group. Did two early in the day and went back for the last one at night. Overall no issues or hassling, as well as a great vibe from the staff!

Went here for a date night and had a great time

Fun and interactive escape rooms

The tomb was the best one in my opinion. The deep space was by far the worse, we entered up exiting this 1 early. We had no idea what to do for about 10 minutes until the robot provided instructions over the speaker system. Most of the time instructions were not clear/loud enough it would be nice to have a repeat button instead of waiting minutes for the instructions to be repeated again.

It was a fun little escape room like thing... My only problems is that there are only 3 areas and there isnt really any reason to revist

Always a great experience. My friends and I have done 2 of the 3 rooms and we are going to be sad when we complete the third because they dont seem to update the rooms often.

My son and I tried out all three adventures today. We had so much fun! There were a few technical difficulties but the staff made note of them. The staff were all very excellent in their jobs their. While waiting for the next room, I even noticed the staff being patient and professional with an individual who was making a fool of himself by telling the staff he needed to know what exactly to do in each room before he was going to pay to try them. Seriously...this guy kept demanding that he needed to know each puzzle. I felt bad for his girlfriend standing there. Either way, the staff was knowledgeable and professional. Thank you for a great time!

Was exciting And fun .

Absolutely incredible! We werent sure of what to expect, but being a sci-fi fan, I had to try the Space Mission. Was expecting a space-themed escape-room type experience, but was completely blown away by the realism and immersiveness of the entire experience. Time and reality slipped away as we were in a total different reality. Im so glad I paused to take a few pics, to help remember just how awesome the evening was. Someone really put their talents to good use designing the sets, the puzzles, the computers and light and sounds that were all a part of the experience. Really it was like being in your very own episode of Star Trek.FYI if you buy in packages, you can get multiple adventures for a really good price.

I have to admit this was a lot more fun that I originally thought it would be. And cheaper too. I had a lot of fun with the small group we had, and I would say 4 is the perfect size group to go with. We did two out of three rooms and will be going back for the third. Not only that, but we were told that the rooms change constantly as well. So I will more than likely even be going there to do the other rooms more. I would absolutely recommend this place if youre looking for something to do. Each room takes around 30 minutes too.

It was very fun

5 wits is a 5 star place t

Tons of fun. As I see mentioned in another review there were puzzles that were never recognized as complete. One room we did twice over a two week period failed to recognize both times in the exact same spot. Seeing that the other review was from 2 months ago is why I took off one star since any problems should be fixed within hours if not a few days. Both times we mentioned one failed after completing correctly and staff gave the surprised look both times and said oh no. That can happen from time to time. Clearly an issue they do know about and have not fixed yet.All that being said. The overall experience is incredible. Did all three with my 11 and 8 year old and my father. 3 generations all having a great time together fully into the experience. It truly takes all participants working together to get the best score. So much to see and search for. The one room I doubled up on I noticed the amount of tasks asked of us were increased when we went through with 4 people as opposed to 2.Lastly, you should absolutely do all three. Kind of pricey if you dont max out the value. And they are all entertaining in different ways. We all wish there were more versions to be completed. Hopefully they make changes every so often so we can keep coming back

A faster paced escape room style with an impressive production style. It was an absolute blast to do. The puzzles are fun, varied and setup to require participation from everyone in the group.

You really need to think to get through

Was a fun time - I went with my wife and two other couples ranging in our late 20s to mid 30s in age. The Fantasy and Ancient Egypt rooms were fantastic, but the Sci-Fi room fell flat for us. The AI villain was lackluster, rooms werent as detailed and the puzzles were confusing and felt uninspired.The other two were well thought out and had some good challenges, as well as some good use of theatrics and props.None were too hard to solve, which is ok, but a little more difficulty without becoming frustrating would have been welcomed. We had the high score for all three rooms for that day.

Has an awesome time tonight. Chris and Josh were great. Thank u Chris for taking my son and I in consideration, you were veey understanding and I am ever so grateful. It was really a good time amd rooms really do make you feel like ur in another world. Very worth it!

Awesome family adventure

Looks awesome...plays great.

We went today to celebrate my sons 10th birthday. There were 8 of us, we got wrist bands from chris because it was my sons birthday which we really appreciated. I honestly dont think it would be as much fun with strangers. My husband and I had done an escape room before and were horrible at it, So we were hesitant to do this. Fortunately this was 10 times better. Kids were scared in the tomb room but eventually they liked it. Library challenge was cool and the space one was fun but the last room was confusing even though we got our best score on that one!! Josh was great dealing with all of us. We will definitely come back again!

Fun place to go with family

Good time but pricey

Escape from the Pharaohs tomb was really fun , and exciting . Price was about $20 per person so it was bit over priced.

Always a fun visit

We did the pharaoh experience and explored the rulers burial site and chambers. It was a thrilling and emersing experience for the whole group. Together you can uncover the mystery too!!! Btw we scored 93...beat that!

Awesomely fun

Had a great time and our guy Josh was very into it which made it better. Wish they had the espionage though.

The themes are impressive especially the deep space room, which has a lot of great refrences for fans of star trek, portal and even 2001. The puzzles are challenging, immersive, difficult but not impossible.Plus some of the most friendly staff especially their cute and dreamy bearded boys.

My son had recently had his birthday party here and there was a strategically placed pubic hair on each of the slices of pizza.

Staff was awesome the place was really fun

Overpriced really. A lot of attention to details however. Just not worth the price.

Cool place

It was fun

Very fun! A little pricy, but, worth it! Great for kids of all ages and adults!

Pricey for no reason

I loved the mummy tume
