Kudos to Think Escape Games for curating the most immersive experience! Their games are well thought out and challenging yet FUN. Our game master, Flor was very tuned into our play and ready to help out when we needed which is critical when you are trying to beat the clock. I highly recommend Think Escape Games.

Amazing place, Greg took his time and the room was very interactive. Many compartments and very well thought out! Highly recommend this location and this room! We have done 20+ rooms and this is one of our top! Amazing team.

It was the best!!! We went for my son’s birthday and we did the Mayan Ruins! It was super challenging (at least for us). The room and common areas were very clean. The girl (I am so sorry I can’t remember her name) was amazing! We will definitely go back and encourage others to go too!

We had an absolute blast from the beginning to the end we had a group of family and friends and we put the thinking caps on to the absolute max let me tell you if you really can’t think outside the box you will get stuck we finished our room with almost 17 minutes left on the clock and we will probably be back next week LOVED IT

I took my husband here for his birthday. We did the Mayan Ruins and it turned out to be a lot of fun! The room is well laid-out and there are clues to unlock larger portions. The manager/owner does a great job assisting you before and during (as needed) the process. We ended up beating it, too!

My husband and I have been here multiple times, either just the two of us or with a larger group. We consistently have a fantastic experience and both agree that this is the best location for escape rooms we have ever been to (we have tried four other places in different states.) The people working here are always super pleasant and the rooms themselves are well designed. Thanks Think Escape!

I went there for my girlfriends birthday with a large group and they were so accommodating, nice, and friendly. There was so much to do in the room and it was so well made. New puzzles I had never seen and never would have even though about doing. Honestly a great experience. Ive done a couple of escape rooms but by far this has to be my favorite. The atmosphere they create just as you wait in the lobby is a plus to their awesome rooms. Going back for more.

Review №24

So much fun and well thought out. Every game was difficult and fun. You will not regret paying for this amazing experience. It also has fun arcade games while you wait for the game to start. It was also very clean and looked very nice. My only complaint was that it smelt like rubbing alcohol, but you get used to it in a couple minutes.

Review №25

YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!!! This is by far the best escape room in south Florida. I have done both the shady tavern and Mayan ruins and both are amazing. I have done 20 escape rooms and the Mayan Ruins room definitely just earned the spot of my second favorite. Incredible design, challenging and unique puzzles, and surprises around every corner. The woman who has been our host is absolutely incredible and very friendly. She even remembered our group from a previous visit! I can’t stress this enough... DO THIS ROOM!!! We will be back to do the other two rooms!

Review №29

Absolutely worth the price! The staff is very nice, and let us still figure out the room even though we didn’t finish in time! We went on a slow day, so might not be an option for every single person who goes, but still an awesome experience! Have gone 2x so far! 1/2 wins, but still worth it!!!!

Review №30

Terrible! We tried ruins and the clues were all disjointed and nothing felt logical. Nothing progressed in linear order so walked back and forth and carried props on us that were useless. All escape rooms are not created equally...as entertaining. Their shady tavern room was the only one out of four that was sold out. I guess that’s the only worth going to.

Review №32

One of the best escape rooms I’ve done, they do a great job. We did the Mayan room and the mystery was challenging and fun! The staff was so kind to us amateurs-they let us stay in the room longer so we could solve it. Definitely recommend this, worth every penny and more.

To get us and the kids out of the house, while waiting for Hurricane Dorian, we got a group together and registered as Escaped Hurricane Dorian. All of us, adults and kids alike, had so much fun!! Think Escape Games is clean, friendly and all the rooms are completely different.

Review №34

Best escape rooms around. Ive now completed three rooms at Think Escape Games and have been beyond impressed with all of them! They are all uniquely awesome. I cant wait to try the last one! The environment is extremely appropriate, with all kinds of cool things to do in the waiting area. Theres also plenty of room for you to bring and serve a few drinks before your game! The hosts are great and the owners are 100% dedicated to customers having an awesome experience! Wish I could give more stars!!

Review №37

Was just there with my family. Children’s Ages ranged from 10-17. We had such a great time as a matter of fact I think my husband liked it the most! Kids were frantically trying to figure out the clues. When they finally got it the excitement was palpable!!! I would absolutely reccomend this to any group or family looking for fun times together!!!

Review №38

This is a great place to go with friends or coworkers to disconnect from the outside world and work together to find ways by finding clues to get out of the room. Ive done this multiple times and loved every moment of it. This requires participation from all parties and makes the escape process a fun one.

I had my 15 year old daughters birthday party here. The puzzles were thoughtful and challenging. It was a lot of fun for everyone! I highly recommend this venue for a party or just a fun night out! Kudos to the Think Escape team!

My family and I had the BEST time here. Cool atmosphere and a great experience. We were visiting from Nashville and this was our first time doing an Escape game and we are so glad we picked this location! And we ESCAPED!!! I hope the escape games in Nashville are just as good as this one.

Review №41

I have done 20+ escape rooms but this was my first one outside of the Cincinnati area. It DEFINITELY ranks highly on my list! My husband and I escaped from Shady Taverns, and there were so many fun WOW factors to it. We came across a couple of technical difficulties, but our game master was quick to jump in and fix them. This was a more active escape room, which was different from what I have done before and really enjoyed. Highly recommend, and wish we could have done more rooms!

Review №44

WOW WOW WOW!!!! What an epic experience here! Everything was SO well done, I have seen other businesses like this but none to the level of how this was executed. It’s hard to not go on and on about the rooms inside because it needs to stay a secret…but it was SO clever and elaborate and the games and workings involved are beyond top notch. As I keep having to rewrite this sentence about how amazing and well-engineered some of the things were…because it’s giving away too much of the mystery…I just have to tell you that you HAVE TO GO to this. Friends, family, co-workers, whatever group you have it’s for everyone!

This experience was awesome! I have done 40+ escape rooms and this was by far one of the best. There was an Argentinian host (can’t remember her name!) who was great. Really enjoyed the immersion factor, logical and intuitive puzzles and the quality of the venue. Awesome place.

Only took us 36 minutes . . . past the hour! An extremely well done escape that made you think as advertised.Went back for the second time and had an exceptionally good time. Twin 11 year olds and two 70 somethings and there were plenty of challenges for all of us. You have to think and do. Some of the puzzles are both mentally and physically challenging but all are fun to do and you feel great when you accomplish the task. The staff is welcoming, friendly and kind making this an all around great experience.

This was my first time doing an escape room but had researched a lot of the choices in the area. The venue was awesome. The staff was amazing and very accommodating. We were able to bring our own food which helped with the large group we had. I can’t say enough of how great we were tested and how much fun everyone had!! Thank you so much!

My family (wife and two teenagers (14 and 19)) took me to escape the Shady Tavern for Fathers Day. We had a blast! The room was very well done and we had to do may of the tricks to get out, and not just think and crunch numbers. Its the best room Ive been to (so far). I cant wait to try their other rooms.

Loved this experience! DH and I went with my two kids ages 12 and 14, and only my son had done an escape room before. We all loved the experience! It was fun, entertaining, fast paced but creative. The staff was wonderful, the facility and themes were clean and decorated well. Its a super, spuper fun time that takes about and hour to an hour and 45 depending on your group and how quickly you can move through the clues I highly recommend Think Escape Games and will definitely be going back.

Review №65

Since I own a local Escape Room and I have played over 40 of them people ask me all the time which rooms I recommend. So I decided to let everyone know my favorites.These guys are the reason Im In business and probably the reason all the others in South Florida are as well.These guys keep stepping up their game and in return forcing all other escape rooms in the area to do so as well, just for us to keep up. Consistently reinventing the business by incredible puzzles and set design ( New room the Mayan Temple just wait till you see this one!!) to just being all around great guys and owners.I list this place in my top games of all time and they deserve it!!

Me and one other person were the only ones in our room and had no idea how to begin. The lady on staff was very helpful and understanding. We solved some puzzles and she kept watch and helped us along the way. We had a GREAT time. Will go again with more people. The game was fun and the puzzles all related to the room we were in.

I just wanna start that I have done a lot of escape rooms in south Florida but I must say Think Escape is one of the best. Very innovative games and a wonderful women named Flor working the nights. I have already done 2 of the games and plan on doing them all. This is truly a wonderful place and I recommend it to every one. Keep up the good work Think escape.

Our team at Premier Smile Center decided to all try this escape room together and it was amazing. The challenges and puzzles really brought our team together and it was an awesome experience! I would suggest this as a great team builder for your staff! The staff there was great and accommodating! If you get the chance to try The Study room please do, even though you probably cannot beat our time!

My family had a great time at Think Escape Games both times we have been there. The games are very challenging and thoughtfully put together. We have done both the The Shady Tavern and Experiment 51, completely different, which we loved. The staff is friendly and helpful and add to an overall enjoyable experience. My twins are 11 years old and they were able to participant in the game - great family fun!

We hosted a corporate event here and our staff had a fantastic time! Think Escape Games has a great team at this location! From a meeting planner aspect they were organized, ready when my team arrived and handled all the onsight facilitation for me since I could not be there before my team arrived. Invoices are sent electronically which means it is easy to pay, obtain a receipt for expense reimbursement, etc. I have to say this location on Oakland Park Blvd. really has their act together! Wish all the off site facilities Ive worked with were this organized, it would make my job so much easier!

This place is amazing, the staff was amazingly friendly and made sure we had a good time. I have been to other escape rooms but this one has honestly been the best one so far.

Review №73

We went here for a birthday party and had 9 people in our party. We did the Tavern escape room. This was one of the more difficult rooms Ive ever done in that there was a lack of initial clues compared to other rooms. However, this room had me approaching things in ways that other escape rooms hadnt. Some of the challenges were very clever! My group really enjoyed the challenge, and we beat the room with 10 minutes to spare, despite a few hiccups - a mishap with one of the items in the room that required intervention from the host. Id definitely return to try some of the other rooms though. :)

What an awesome experience! The minute you walk through the doors this place transports you to a strange world. The mood and ambiance is perfect. You can tell a lot of care and attention went into this. The escape room itself was really something. We did the laboratory with a group of 8 people, and though we did finish, it was very challenging and there were some puzzles that we were really impressed with, extremely creative and original!Looking forward to trying the others soon!

Amazing experience, tried all 3. And completed all three under 50 minutes each time. Everyone there was very nice polite and amazing. My favorite was The Study. Out of the 15+ other escape games Ive tried this is defiantly the top one. Makes you actually think and met new people. Best game Ive ever played in the entire world.

Review №85

Ive done over 20 escape rooms worldwide and Boda Borg in Boston and these rooms at Think Escape are at the very top! The rooms are believably staged, well-designed, and challenging. The circuitry and electronics are themselves remarkable, but the sensation of being immersed in a real escape situation is even better.This is an under discovered gem in Ft. Lauderdale!I did Shady Tavern—a seedy dive bar thats been rigged by a killer pool shark. The game design and ingenuity of puzzles was exceptional. It was the most creative room Ive yet to do.I also did Study—searching a detectives study as he tried to piece together the clues for a psychotic Chainsaw Bob. This room had fright appeal and a series of twists and turns. Very cinematic and chilling. Again, the production value is noteworthy.Would highly recommend! 9/10

Review №87

Nice escape room for a group of friends. Rooms decorated moderately well, not the most intricate escape room I have visited but not the least either. Puzzles are of reasonable difficulty. A bit on the pricier side of escape rooms for me but perhaps that is typical Miami price. Overall fun experience.

Review №93

SO much fun! Our family of 5 had the Lab 51 room to ourselves, and we absolutely loved it. It was my second escape room experience, my brothers second, my cousins 100th (or more... hes obsessed) and my parents first. We all felt very challenged and humbled, but it was THAT MUCH MORE REWARDING when we actually escaped with 4 seconds left! The staff (there was only one guy there) was very friendly and occasionally gave us some free hints through the loudspeaker, but nothing too obvious, just some guidance. The room was well-designed and fun, with a lot of math and science challenges. I highly recommend this experience and I will definitely come back next time Im in Florida!

Al
Review №94

Omg this is the best place ever!!! We had a group of 3 and it was pretty challenging. We did ask for 2 hints. We did the Laboratory room and it was very detailed and had a lot of fun puzzles/riddles/locks to do. The staff was so nice and they gave us an extra 25 minutes to finish the room but we only used 10 minutes of that. Definitely returning!!

Review №95

For my sons 11th bday party, I was a little nervous about putting 7 kids (ages 8 to 11) into the Mayan Adventure escape room, so I went in with them for the first few minutes. They got into it so quickly that I was able to exit and leave them to it. Flor was awesome--she monitored their progress via video and only gave them tips on mic only when they needed a hint on how to move ahead. They all came out at the end with the biggest grins on their faces--no fights, no complaints--they couldnt stop talking about it. Awesome experience for all!!!
