Went to the rage room and had a blast. The staff were super chill and helpful. My host Riley really made my 1st experience the best. Shes great. I will definitely be back.

Escapades is a great place for adults and children! This time, we had a group of 12 teens guess their way through and had a great time with Roosevelt, who my kids mentioned was hilarious! Once our visit was over, they showed us the other rooms they had available and welcomed us back for another visit. We are definitely going back!

Went to the rage room on a late Wednesday night for the first after a long day. Staff was super friendly and made the experience very fun. You can play your own music in the rage room and bring your own items to smash. Nice stress reliever! Will definitely be back!

Had an amazing time this past Saturday with Roosevelt in the Rage Room! Roosevelt made sure we were safe and had a blast. He was very funny, accommodating, personable, friendly, and overall made us want to come back soon. Highly recommend for a fun date, a personal venting session, or even some...dynamic?...team building.

This review is strictly for their Apartment escape room. I was not a fan of this room at all. Out of the 61 escape games I’ve played, this one was definitely one of my least favorite. The staff was great, which is why I gave two stars but the escape room didn’t flow well. We escaped out of the room but it still didn’t feel like a great experience (again, strictly referring to the room — the staff are super friendly and helpful and are a 5/5).

We have played several different Escape Room games. I feel the puzzles and prop design is very low quality. All the puzzles are 4 lock code games... but there is nothing fun or remarkable about this event. Below average rating.The staff was extremely friendly and tried to make the game fun.

This is a review of the rage room.While it’s great to be able to go in and smash some stuff, be careful when booking. Regardless of how many people you book for, you only get 30 minutes in the room. This was a real bummer when we had a larger sized group try to partake. We weren’t notified of the short time frame until 10 minutes into our time. It put a huge damper on our night since we ended up leaving a lot of stuff behind. It ended up feeling a huge waste of our groups time and I had to refund several tickets since they weren’t able to participate.On the booking site, it would be nice to know that each slot is only 30 minutes regardless of how many people the room is being booked for.Previously when I had gone to the rage room with one other person, we weren’t notified of a time frame and had spent what seemed like an hour in the room. This most recent visit was extremely disappointing.

The kind of fun and release I didn’t even know I needed. Roosevelt was the best. And made sure we had all the best breakables. Also he’s a great DJ. And also made sure we followed all the safety guidelines. This is prob our new monthly thing. Thanks rage room

My two friends and I went to the rage room this past weekend. The staff was very friendly, but it was definitely NOT worth the price. It was $15 per person to start. Only one person can be in the room at a time for safety reasons (understandably so). The time started when our reservation started. We got there a couple of minutes before our reservation, and there was no one after us. After waivers were signed and directions were given, it was about 12:37 (our reservation was at 12:30 and we got there at 12:28). Instead of starting our 15 minutes at 12:37, the staff member said we had only until 12:45. So essentially we paid $45 in total to have 8 minutes in the room total, divided up among 3 people. Again there was no one scheduled after us, so like...really? Also, BRING YOUR OWN STUFF TO SMASH. If we hadnt brought our own stuff we would have only had 3 mugs total to smash among the three of us. Completely overpriced and honestly this is NOT worth the money,

Almost escaped from apt 1145! The room was cleverly arranged and when you get stuck they give you helpful clues. Really enjoyed my experience and cant wait to come back. They also have a rage room where you get to go in and break stuffs like computers..tvs..etc. havent tried that but heard its a blast!

Review №41

It was a fun group we were with but their main room (the apartment) had no story or context to kick things off and everything felt a bit slapped together. Again, it was a fun experience because the people we were paired up with we retreat and everyone was super involved by the end but the overall experience felt a bit lacking.

Went with coworkers for their rage room experience. Definitely a good time. My only real complaint is that, as a larger woman, they do not have protective gear to fit me. I did inquire as to whether I could bring my own leather jacket in the future and they were amenable so definitely props to them. Awesome time smashing things, and you can bring your own stuff to smash! Parking is LIMITED so be prepared for that. 13/10 would smash again

A group of 8 of us tackled escape room, Apartment 1145 on New Years Eve as a way to kick off the evening right. Great decision! Joe at Escapades was very helpful and easy to work with. He clearly explained just enough about the room for us to get started. We had some experienced and some newbies alike and escaped! I thought 8 people was a good amount for this particular room. Anymore might have felt cramped. So many laughs and definitely a night to remember!

TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. I thought I scheduled a rage room to go to on my best friends birthday. When I got the reminder email in the morning I realized that I had accidentally scheduled it a month earlier than I meant to. I scheduled it for 2/22 instead of 3/22. When I realized that I immediately called but they did not answer and their voicemail box is full. I sent them an email explaining everything and asking to reschedule and they never replied. They called me after my scheduled time started because I wasnt there and then said that I couldnt reschedule because my appointment had already started and the only thing I could do was just book it again and be out another $30. I dont even want to go anymore because of how rudely and unprofessionally the whole incident was handled, I would just want my money back at this point, which they also wont give me.

Very unprofessional. My wife and I booked a room and opted for the private for her bday. Upon arrival we waited on a group of 6 to start with us. They were a group who wanted an intimate experience as well, as they had a wedding party, so we changed our visit for next day. The owner assured us but the company was already overbooked for next day. Nobody called or emailed to let us know and they were very unorganized the entire time. In short youre forced to work with whoever else books. Seemed more concerned with filling the rooms, rather than actually ensuring customer service and experince. We opted for a full refund.
