This was by far the best Escape room I have ever done. The setting is great and it was a true challenge while not being impossible. I felt truly immersed in the experience.

Description:

It is the autumn of 1888, roaming the streets of London’s east end is the notorious serial killer “Jack the Ripper.” His shadow of terror sweeps through the dark cobblestone streets and alleys of one of the darkest slums in London.

You are a group of detectives that were tasked to find out the identity of the serial killer. After accepting the mission, you go out with your group to a local pub and are offered a drink by a mysterious stranger.

Next thing you know, you wake up to darkness with little recollection of how you got there.

Details:

The only room in Philadelphia to offer private booking during the weekdays!

Reviews of escape game "Escape Jack The Ripper"

Alan, our gamemaster, was great, she was funny and super helpful for our first time. We weren't able to solve the Jack the Ripper room, but we will definitely be back to try a different room!
Stephanie

spooky

We had a great time in the Jack the Ripper room. It was our first time and we didn't know exactly what to expect but the experience was really challenging (we didn't make it, lol!) and we had a lot of fun solving the puzzles we did get to. Our guide was a really great host as well. We might bring a few more with us next time as three people is probably not enough. We will be returning soon to try out another room!
Suzanne

It was fun and I didn't finish. We went into the Jack The Ripper room. A little scary but fun. We didn't want them yo tell us in the end where the clues were because we'll be back!!!
Rashida

Lore was our Game master and LOVED THE EXPERINCE. Lore made the Jack the Ripper room that much better with the added immersion.
Alec

We came here to celebrate a friends birthday with Jack the Ripper. Alan was our game master and was so enthusiastic! They provided us subtle clues without giving too much away. The room was full of neat twist and turns. We almost made it out in 3rd place. (Next time!)
Carissa

Sky was a fantastic game master! He helped us truly be immersed in the Jack the Ripper room! He was awesome with the clues too and nudged us in the right direction. We’ve done over 50 escape rooms and this was ultra unique and super fun, truly unlike any of the other ones we’ve done in the past! I highly recommend!
Diane

We did the Jack the Ripper room. Lore did an amazing job and made sure we had a great time. Would come back.
Jane

I did the Jack the Ripper escape room and my friends and I had a ball. Our instructor was Olivia and she was awesome, helpful and sweet. I recommend this escape room and I would go back and do another one.
Porshea

It was fun n difficult but it was a really fun experience, especially watching my husband and kids almost break under the pressure of solving clues.LOL We did the Jack the Ripper room and we will be back for the Alice in Wonderland room soon.
Amanda

Lore is the best! The Jack the ripper room was very fun. Try to get there a little early though! We made that mistake.
Jo

We had such a great time! The Jack the Ripper room was one of the best escape rooms we have ever done. The puzzles were great and Samiyah was an awesome game master. So helpful and fun throughout. We will definitely be back to do another one of the rooms!
Julie

Jack the Ripper experience was great! Our awesome guide Alan was really helpful and encouraging. I highly recommend!
Nicole

My partner and I had a great time- we did Jack the Ripper and the puzzles are challenging, our GM Luis was super into it with us and although we did get killed by Jack- we will be coming back!
lyana

This was a dark, complex, super fun challenge. It was tough without being the n-fun kind of challenging. Peter, our coach, was terrific, offering just the right kind of slivers of help when we asked for it. The room and elements are really nicely done, with an authentic feel. Had a great time!
Tracy

Jack the Ripper room was awesome and Quan was an amazing guide! Definitely a tough one and definitely recommended.
Max

Olivia was a great game master. The jack the ripper game was fun, scary and hard. I would 100% do it again ( so I can redeem myself).
Josha

This was my first time, trying out an escape room, and it was an incredibly fun experience. Five of us tried Mindescape's Jack the Ripper adventure. The setting was eerie and immersive, though never frightening. The clues and puzzles were clever, imaginative, and tough. No single one of us could have solved it on our own but we worked through things together. The gamemaster (Cameron) was always on top of things. I loved every minute of it and highly recommend it.
Amy

What a cool experience! We were a group of 4 adults and did the Jack the Ripper room. We escaped with just 5min to spare. All of us enjoyed it very much and would love to come back for the other room at some point. We did the room almost a week ago and are still talking about it!
Danika

This place was great! Four of us escaped the Jack the Ripper room and it was super fun. Staff was super friendly, especially Joe who was our "hint giver". Very clean and really clever room. Enjoyed the entire experience. We will definitely be back to explore the other two rooms. 10/10 would recommend!
Fred

Very fun! Jack the Ripper room was really fun. I highly recommend. Made an Appointment last minute with my friend and it all worked out. The guy who gave us clues was really cool too. Nice little waiting area and lockers available
Megan

Great escape room choices, location, and price! My two friends and I did the Jack the Ripper room and escaped with about 2 seconds remaining. Shoutout to our game master Dill for adding to the experience! Highly recommend this place.
Melissa

Just did the Jack the Ripper room. Without giving anything away, it was awesomely immersive with a great variety of puzzles. Cam ran a great game for us, and I'll definitely be back!
Doug

Had THE BEST TIME! Went with friends and did the Jack the Ripper room - Alexis, our game master made the whole experience that much better! Can't wait to come back!
Adrienne

We went to MindEscape for my birthday and had a blast! Nat was an engaging and entertaining game facilitator, and helped us feel like we were really immersed in the story. We played Jack the Ripper and it was a perfect balance of challenging, aesthetically interesting and fun. I highly recommend this business! One note is to make sure you arrive on time because the business only allows a 5 minute grace period if they have a group scheduled after you.
Jenna

Olivia was so helpful and made our whole experience enjoyable! We were fully immersed in the moment. The Jack the Ripper room was difficult for three people but only one of us was experienced in escape rooms.
Melissa

The whole experience was great. We were early and welcomed in right away to start our escape. Olivia was so sweet and so helpful, loved her energy! We did the Jack the Ripper room and what fun we had. Recommend this escape room 100 percent. Will definitely be back again.
Nicole

We did the Jacky the ripper highly recommend. Our game master Olivia was supper cool. Me and my group had a great time. It was fun and a little creepy like we were looking for.
Tina

This was by far the best Escape room I have ever done. The setting is great and it was a true challenge while not being impossible. I felt truly immersed in the experience.
Karishma

Fantastic experience! Jack the Ripper is a very polished room with a "traditional" escape room vibe but in a very eerie environment. We liked it so much we tried their Prison Room after and it was a blast, but a COMPLETELY different experience. Both rooms are in our top 5.

We would have tried Alice (new room!) but we ran out of time and had to head back. but we will come back!!!
Joe

This was a really nice escape room! we have done it in last week and thoroughly enjoyed it! Puzzles were creative and thematic and our game master was a blast. They also have areally nice eerie soundtrack we very much enjoyed and put us in a mood. 5/5!
Donna

We came back!

We have done the esacpe Thai Prison back in October and they had promised to have Jack ready. Now it is available and they have done a brilliant job! We had the same game master from last time and he was fantastic. Good Job MindEscape for a second room well done. Not very scary with a good flow. We wait for the third one!
Alon

The experience was really good, and I will recommend this to my friends who are local. The facility is clean, game masters are smart and timely with their clues and the room itself is really immersive. We really liked the ambiance, from appearance through the beautiful soundtrack. Jack the Ripper has also a really nice buildup and reveal at the end. My group were paired with another couple but that wasn't an issue at all.
Jim

Tried this for our first ever escape room and it turned out to be so much fun! The staff was very accommodating, we just walked in and had the Jack the Ripper room to ourselves which was even better. Great experience overall.
Rupal

This place is awesome! I've done both of their rooms now, loved the new Jack the Ripper theme. The decor is elaborate, the rooms are well put together and the puzzles are the right amount of challenging. The staff is great and the game masters are always available for assistance when needed. Great way to spend an hour with friends and really test your problem solving!
