1 Hour 2 Escape - Absolute Zero

We had been looking forward to the opening of this room and are glad we got it opened up - this was a very fun time and all of us were able to contribute and have something to do the whole time we were there. This room was busy, but we were able to each contribute and there was always something to do. Everyone felt accomplished when we were finished, and we manage to escape by the skin of our teeth.

Price:$$18.90 per person (used coupon from their website)

Theme:★★★This is neat and I loved how you communicated with the game master. Neat setup and fun theme.

Quality:★★★Being a new room, things were in great shape still, although there was a problem with a camera in the room for us.

Difficulty:★★★Some of the puzzles were so easy that we completely missed them, and others were much trickier. This was a good mix of the too, with plenty for everyone to work on.

Fun:★★★★★We went in expecting fun and were not disappointed - this is one of the more fun and engaging rooms they have here.

1 Hour To Escape - The Study

We've liked the rooms here quite a bit - each has some neat things inside and the employees are fantastic to work with. This room in particular was well thought out and has some pretty good puzzles inside (if you pay enough attention to find them all). This was a harder room for us for a number of factors. First, I just had a long day and then doing this later in the evening, I may not have been at the top of my game. Second, there was a lot for a group of two, and we would have fared better with a larger group. In any case, I know I came across as a little irritated after this, but much more at myself than anything else.

Price:$$$27 per person

Theme:★★★This was pretty neat, if a little eccentric.

Quality:★★There were a few broken things in the room, which for the most part did not have any impact on the overall experience.

Difficulty:★★★★This is very hard for two people alone, mainly because we just missed things that either we completely skipped or stared at a bit.

Fun:★★★There are a couple of really neat things in here - I wish I could do them justice, but to do so I'd probably have to give it away. On the other hand, I was a little frustrated because we should have listened when they said it was too much for two people before we went in.

1 Hour to Escape - Spy vs. Spy

We finished this room so quickly and with so much energy that it was a really great experience. I was worried having such a large group in there, but it just made finding and solving things so fast. And while the room itself was fun, we had an extra bonus at the end of the room - a challenge box. Once we finished the room, they gave us a box to solve and we finished that with four minutes of our original time left - two in less than the time of one.

Price:$$$27 per person

Theme:★★★Some of these props we so spot on - I wish I could share because on of the main puzzles just has the neatest prop that is hard to look away from.

Quality:★★★★Great job with the quality of the room - I loved how things worked together. The only thing I would say is there was a puzzle that was hard to get to work because we didn't follow instructions right away.

Difficulty:★★This was pretty simple overall, but there were some fun puzzles inside to keep it engaging.

Fun:★★★★★This was such a fun time - we love the group that we worked with on this and everyone contributed in some way.

1 Hour to Escape - The Bank Heist

We had heard a lot about this room from friends and finally we made it happen for us, too. Good thing - this has such a great approach and was a nice change for us from the normal. And enough things to do, some great puzzles, and a fun couple to be paired up with. Everything we heard was true and this was a blast!

Price:$$$27 per person

Theme:★★★★Such a neat idea - let's go rob a (fake) bank tonight.

Quality:★★★I was very surprised by how well everything was working - if you ever go through and see the props in the room, maybe you'll understand. However, well well maintained!

Difficulty:★★★★Really, there is a great mix in this room, but some puzzles were trickier and new to us so took some time. Also, we apparently cannot read and that held us up.

Fun:★★★★★We had a lot of fun in this room - so many things to do!

Escape Rooms HQ - Nuclear Shuttle

A fun Friday night for us with escaping from this room as a highlight. We had a great time once we got into it, even though we missed out on a few fairly obvious things (obvious once we figured them out but tricky until then). I love the thought that go into their rooms, and this one really pulled a lot of things together to make it out.

Price:$$$$30 per person

Theme:★★★★Very well done and we liked the layout and the variety.

Quality:★★★★Great maintenance of the room and well built.

Difficulty:★★★We were off to a slow start, but once we got into it things progressed well.

Fun:★★★There was something each person in our group was good at, so a bit of something for everyone.

1 Hour to Escape - The Ruins

Even with the threat of losing an hour over our heads, we decided to head out quite late for an escape room. And is it a good thing we did, because we set a record (the second in one day)! The owners here are nice and we spent some time chatting, and the room itself had a lot of thought and planning going into it. The overall game play was a little different than some of the other rooms in the area, which made the experience also a bit different (some things easier, some harder). There are some thing that could be better maintained, and which caused a few pinched fingers and blood blisters. But, we still had fun and made it out quickly! (And, yes, I'm wearing a t-shirt from another escape room in the photo.)

Price:$$$27 per person

Theme:★★★★The theme of this room was great, and every puzzle was tied into it very well.

Quality:★There were a few broken items in here (none of the puzzles), and some of the decorations in particular show wear and tear.

Difficulty:★★Some of the individual puzzles took some effort, but overall this was a quick room for us.

Fun:★★★Some great puzzles made this fun, as well as the group we were in with.

Escape Rooms HQ - 0-Dark 30

We took my brother and sister-in-law to their first real escape room (does the one under my stairs count?). It was a few way to spend the evening with them and everyone had something to contribute towards us getting out in the end. Sadly, we didn't solve their extra bonus puzzle to win a free game, but the challenge here was great and love how much things tied together to get the final solution.

Price:$$$$30 per person

Theme:★★Overall, this was pretty neat, but there were a few things that we didn't know how they fit in (even though it made things more fun).

Quality:★★★★This was put together very well, and we only had issues in one area where we didn't follow instructions well...

Difficulty:★★★This was pretty typical for difficulty, with enough challenge to keep up on our feet the whole time.

Fun:★★★★There were several things in here that were flat out fun and we wanted to keep playing with those parts even though we needed to move on.
