Latest reviews of escape rooms in Madison for up to six players

We were excited for an Escape Room explicitly designed around the 7 Sins, but despite the cool theming concept the narrative barely mentioned them and they did not play into the design in any meaningful way. Instead, the writing was unfocused, throwing in a hodgepodge of generalized church, cult, and curse tropes.

Several of the puzzles contain one too many steps and require players to make a number of logical leaps in their clue interpretation that border on unfair. And the theming is so vague that it's often unclear which puzzles are drawing upon which clues. There are a couple of fun ideas, but bad puzzle design, questionable clue introduction, and in one case faulty tech which had us stalled for several minutes while the game host kept messaging us to "try it again" ruined any chance of achieving a satisfying solve flow. It would not have been quite as souring if the theming was actually engaging, like if each of the 7 puzzles were each actually related to a different sin, or if the puzzles were more inspired themselves. Unfortunately, despite escaping with a few minutes to spare, our group was left feeling frustrated with the intended solve path and disappointed in the room's failure to incorporate its own concept.

Amazing! Did this with 5 friends and had so much fun. We r in 6th grade and it was easy and hard at the same time. We did not find the chronosphere but we still had a blast. Tots recomend it.

Our group of 8 international students had a blast in the "Forgotten Pharaoh" room! Very well organized, authentic and not to mention a great learning experience for our students! We will definitely be back!

A group of 6 of us did Lost Friday Night and it was really fun. At the end, the people running the game came in and rehashed all the clues and game play with us which was a little dull and went on longer than we thought was necessary, but otherwise it was great- we'll definitely be returning to do the other rooms.

Our group of 9 newbies all had an absolute blast running the Pharaoh escape. The puzzles were varied and just challenging enough that we were all able to jump into one and work together on the bigger picture - apparently in record time! We're already planning our next trip.

After trying out a few escape rooms, we did Escape This and it did not disappoint! Chris and Renee were so welcoming, the space was modern and clean, and the room was well thought out. My group of 4 did the In check room. It was tricky, unique, and kept us on our toes. We barely made it out with success and cannot wait to try another room out. I would recommend this business to any of my friends!
