Just had a fun experience at this escape room after having a terrible one at an escape room in Manassas. We did the Matter of Time room and loved all the puzzles that came in it. The room was nicely decorated and is doable with two people. Shout out to Madison for being a great game master!

Awesome event place! Take the Sherlock quiz!

Pretty cool escape room (we did Sherlock Holmes: A Matter of Time) and it was hard but had some pretty neat clues! We also told Vanessa that we were celebrating because my friend bought a new house and she made her this super sweet card and the entire staff signed it while we were doing our escape room!! Staff was super nice and accommodating too…they offered to switch escape rooms for us last minute so that we’d have the room to ourselves.

A group of us did the Sherlock Holmes room and it was so much fun! And our host Eli was great and made the experience that much more fun! Highly recommend

Angela was our game guide and she was awesome 👌 we did race against time (a Sherlock based room). Typically a room for 8, done with only 2. Would come again 😀

April 24, 2024

Celebrated our good friends anniversary as novices and escaped from the Sherlock Holmes A Matter of Time room. A good time was had by all and I look forward to coming back to try a different room.

August 10, 2024

Really enjoyed the Sherlock room!

May 30, 2024

WE HAD A BLASTTTT AT THE SHERLOCK HOLMES ESCAPE ROOM! Max was a huge help and gave us a sneak peak into other rooms because we know we’ll be back!

March 5, 2024

....came back! Played both Sherlock Holmes rooms with Daniel as our Game Master. Another awesome afternoon!!

July 14, 2024

Vanessa and Nate are wonderful game hosts! We did a Matter of Time and it had excellent puzzles.

May 20, 2024

Very cool spot in old town! Our host was very helpful and the decorations were very cool. The Sherlock room was ranked a 7/10 difficulty, but a group of 3 adults (2 pretty inexperienced with escape rooms) and 3 kids solved it with time to spare!

April 22, 2024

loved the sherlock experience

March 29, 2024

Our group had such a fun time playing a Sherlock Holmes themed escape room. Our guide, Luke, was incredibly friendly and funny while explaining everything we’d need to know about playing. Overall, we had a very fun time and we’d highly recommend. Luke was the best!

March 31, 2024

Had a great time in the Sherlock Holmes:A Matter of Time room. Very challenging game and great references to the books. Max K was a great guide!

March 29, 2024

Had a great time doing this escape room with our gameguide Nate!! We did the Sherlock Homes: A matter of time, and raced through it in twenty minutes with six people and skipping clues. They let us go back and find the clues we missed to get the full experience.

July 9, 2024

Nate was amazing! We did the Sherlock Holmes room and we cracked the mystery. I will definitely be coming back and hopefully we’ll have Nate as our host again.

June 20, 2024

Nate was absolutely DOPE! The Sherlock room was so much fun!!!!

July 5, 2024

Did the Wizards Apothecary and A Matter of Time, the rooms were excellent! We’ve done dozens of escape rooms and the puzzles here were challenging but still intuitive. The staff was incredibly friendly especially our Game-master Luke! We will be coming back tomorrow to finish the rest of the rooms.

Always a great adventure! 👍

April 27, 2023

So, so much fun!! Can't wait to go back and try out the other rooms! #weescaped

April 27, 2023

Definitely I place to have a good time with a group or friends or family. Don't underestimate your room and think outside the box

April 27, 2023

Tons of fun! We just barely made it out. 18 seconds to spare. Can't wait to go back and do it again!

April 27, 2023

Totally awesome! Very challenging finding clues, but some serious fun! Will definitely try the other story lines they offer.

April 27, 2023

It was honestly amazing. The place is beautiful and each room has its own personality and mystery.

March 22, 2023

If you enjoy puzzles and mysteries than you will love Escape Room Live. We did the Sherlock Holmes room and completed it just in time. We had 9 people, I would recommend 8 or more for this room because it is very difficult with numerous puzzles to solve. Overall very good experience and I highly recommend.

This place was so much better than I expected. The space was impressively decorated and very clean. The staff were friendly and helpful. The event was fun and extremely interactive for my family. It kept my grandmother and my daughter very engaged along with the rest of us. It didn't hurt that we won as well. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to spend a fun filled hour with friends in old town!

December 17, 2015

So much fun!!! Recommend to everyone looking for something different to do.

December 17, 2015

Challenging and fun, decor was very well done, will do again soon!
