Awesome escape room!! Businees is family run and the puzzles and traps are created by them also. Highly recommend to anyone!

I had a group of 3 playing Room 555. It was so much fun, it wasnt all that scary, definitely challenging. Staff was nice and easy to get a hold of. Would definitely recommend! The room could be more fun and scarier if all you had was a flashlight.

We did room 555 which seems to be what a lot of people did. It was awesome we all had a great time. Not super scary but very clever and challenging. We will be going back for other rooms.

My family had a wonderful time in Room 555. We escaped with 1:32 left. The room was the most difficult of the three rooms I have done so far. I really liked that everyone was able to solve a puzzle or two. Really great room.

My family had a great, much needed outing at Times Up. We escaped the Millionaire Murder room and are looking forward to going back for the Jungle Escape!

Staff was very polite and welcoming. The puzzles didn’t seem really “streamlined”. My husband and I have done around 9 or 10 escape rooms and are accustomed to the natural flow—- one clue leads to this, then open that to get to that, etc. This room lacked a lot of direction. But, all in all, we enjoyed ourselves.

This was a great escape room company! The staff was excellent, which makes a huge difference when you are in the escape room or even before. We did the Millionaire Murder with 12 people and it was challenging and fun! In fact, we dont know if you could get it done with fewer than that because of how much you had to do to solve the room! We did win, all 12 had a blast (ages 17 to 64) and we want to do the Jumanji one next!

It was our first time doing an escape room and it was so fun! This place has awesome rooms filled with challenging tasks to solve the ultimate goal of escaping the room. We escaped with an extra 12 mins and it was exhilarating!! Thank you for such a fun night!

Awesome experience. We completed the Puzzlers Prisoner escape with almost 5 minutes to spare. The six of us were split up in the beginning and had to complete several task working together to join rooms. I think it was a good mix of locks and mechanical puzzles. The atmosphere of the place is nice. I would go again and recommend.

Enjoyable first escape room! We completed the Jungle room with quite a lot of time to spare. The room had neat mechanics. I wish they would have had more story line or plot (we didnt have any background as to why we were trapped in a room in the jungle). The room was smaller than I thought and there were absolutely no door-related mechanics (we didnt have to do anything related to the door to end the room). I would say it was fun, but a bit pricey for the time actually spent in the room.

Review №16

Just barely escaped the Puzzlers Prisoner this weekend. The room is really cool with a lot of great props. The whole place looks cool. I want to do all of their rooms.

This was an great experience. I went as a bridesmaid and didnt really know the other girls. It was a truly bonding experience and so much fun. We escaped with seconds left.

Review №18

Love this place. You get atmosphere as soon as you walk in. We have done three of the rooms and look forward to doing the Elf room during the holidays.

Review №19

We paid $100 dollars to be given an attitude on the phone, look at clues that has been scratched out with marker, plywood floors, and a flashlight that didnt work properly. It was fun enough but please reconsider another escape room. Wouldnt have even left a review of not for the attitude and rudeness of the employee we spoke to.Update for the owner:This is partly why you guys gave us gift cards. Because whoever that lady we had talked to (its been a few weeks now) was real rude and her manager actually gave us the gift card after we had to complain. And all that attitude for nothing much. No thanks. Fun enough tho.

Had a great experience with my 2 teenage grandsons!! The staff was friendly with a sense of humor thrown in! Was a bit concerned about the cost in the beginning but totally worth it!! Will definitely return to try another room

We had an amazing time!! Our ladies night was so much fun and we completed the room with 2 minutes to spare. We are still talking and laughing about it. We challenged our husbands to beat our time. I recommend.

Review №23

The owners are friendly and nice. The jungle room was hot (temperature) and congested with 5 or 6 players. The jungle room should be limited to 2 to 4 people. The experience was not fun. There were not enough puzzles for 5 or 6 players.

My son and I had a date night here. It was a blast and a great way to spend quality time together!

Review №25

We had a really fun, whole family experience. This is the first escape room weve ever done, so do not have anything to compare to. We chose Times Up, because it is one of the few places that has a room that can accommodate up to 12 people. The challenges were really creative and well thought out. Good for families of mixed ages.We did the Millionaire Murder Mystery. We were in the first room off to the left. When we started, it was very noisy outside the room when another group came in for their challenge. It was very distracting, until they moved on to their room. A heavier door would go along way to helping with that.We were a mom and dad and 9 children from age 11 to 27, and grandma. There were challenges for everyone to work on. You get 3 free hints and 2 extras, if needed, but it cost you a couple of minutes off the clock. We came so close to solving, but didnt quite do it.We had a great family experience and definitely recommend Times Up! Escape Rooms.

Woohoo - I’m the 100th reviewer! This place is awesome, Audrey is the sweetest, and the rooms are just hard enough to be exciting but not so difficult that you just want to give up. And I’ve heard rumors that a Christmas themed room is rolling out soon... :)

WHAT an amazing time with friends. We tried the Million Dollar Murder Mystery. It was full of excitement and different twists. Great way for friends to come together and engage. We loved it so much, we talked about it all weekWe will definitely be back!

Review №28

It was our first time there. We were in a big room. There were 12 of us. We definitely had to work separately and together. Great experience. Staff was friendly, place was clean. Well done. I would go back to try another room.

Had a girls nite out at Times Up and did the Room 555. We escaped with just 2 minutes left. The room was looked and felt creepy with great immersion, but wasnt really scary. All the clues connected well with theme and were challenging but solvable. All in all we had a blast and I would recommend Room 555.

Re
Review №30

We have done the Jungle and Room 555 escapes and both are really done well. The puzzles are high tech and challenging, especially in the Jungle. My husband liked the Jungle better but I liked Room 555 best. We are planning to go back for the new room.

Review №31

We walked in to a great big smile from the owner!! Family run, great staff! We had 10 yr olds with us and they really helped us a lot and we almost escaped! So close to escaping the Jungle! Such fun, the room was really nicely done. One of the best escape rooms I’ve experienced. The boys are already plotting their next trip!

The staff were amazing! Id like to especially recognize Joshua for assisting us with Room 555, he was the absolute sweetest. Fun and challenging, this is a great activity for the entire family.

We did the jungle room and had such a blast! There are four of us with two kids and they were able to help with the clues. Definately one of the better escape rooms we have been to! Great job and THANK YOU!

We had so much fun escaping the Millionaire room. The puzzles were challenging and some unexpected surprises. I would definitely recommend especially for a larger group. Nobody felt bored and there were enough puzzles for everyone to contribute.

Great family night out. There were 11 of us and we all really enjoyed the experience! Would definitely go again and try a new room!

Review №39

It was a solid escape room but Id definitely done better. We did the jungle room and it was ok. A number of mechanics were spotty, hard to read, the light in the room made it difficult. I would probably not do this one again.

We had a girls night in the Jungle Game Escape and it was so much fun! We were able to solve it with 17 seconds left! Highly recommend it. The owner was extremely creative!

Had a great time in the Jungle Room with our sons and their friends. It was difficult but SO FUN! Even better, Times Up is run by an awesome family! We can’t wait to try out the spooky room...555!!!!

Review №45

I visited Times Up! about 2 weeks ago with my wife and 3 other couples. We had an excellent time trying to figure out how to escape the bank vault. One of the owners greeted us and made sure we understood the rules of the escape room. She was very friendly and very helpful to us throughout our stay. The bank vault is full of well planned clues that will allow you to determine a code for unlocking the vault door before running out of time. It is not an easy task and we did not successfully complete our mission. It was however great fun with great people. I would definitely recommend this place to folks or teams who love critical thinking and want to try something different for a fun and entertaining outing.

Room 555 was a total blast! I wouldnt say it was more creepy than scary. Definitely one of the better escape rooms in the area. The puzzles were high tech. I would recommend it!

Its fine; some of the puzzles are not as intuitive as the should be. It is also way way too hot in the rooms.

Review №54

Such a fun experience thatll definitely work your puzzle solving and teamwork skills. My group is still enjoying talking about the experience

Jo
Review №55

Had a great time! We have done a few other room escapes before, and this one has its own unique twists that keeps it interesting and sets it apart from others.I did the Puzzler room with one other person and escaped with 12 minutes left on the clock. The best part about the room was that none of the puzzles felt repetitive. Each one had an additional step that you had to solve beyond just finding the hints scattered around the room.The game master was very helpful and made it a great experience.Well be back to try the larger room soon!

Review №56

Wow, what an intriguing, challenging and fun experience. I did room 555 with some friends which was my second room at this place and it was just as fun. I am definitely going back.

The family is so friendly and the rooms are so much fun!

Review №58

It was fun! Worthwhile to pay extra for your group to get the room to themselves, instead of having to share with strangers. Only bad was the person monitoring didnt pay very close attention to us. We had the code for a lock correct but the mechanism jammed, and they didnt notice or let us know (we thought we had the code wrong).

Review №59

It was a lot of fun! Challenging and such a mental-mind bender! If you haven’t tried these escape rooms...boy are you missing out. Hope to get out next time. Golly gosh.

Re
Review №60

Sadly, we ran out of air in a bank vault, but was loads of fun trying to get out. I highly recommend this for any group or family outing. Especially over the holidays, Ive never enjoyed being locked in a small room with so many family members so much!

We took our group of senior high students, and everyone in our group loved it! We took some first-time escape roomers and some that had done multiple rooms, and everybody enjoyed the challenge, puzzles, and experience. We would definitely go back and do the other room.
