    Terrible, what a joke! Please please please know this is not an escape room but an -experience-. Universal built these experiences as a bunch of rooms meaning they can have multiple parties playing at once. An incredibly smart idea on paper, but not in reality. You are rushed through rooms. While you’re in the middle of a puzzle an automated voice tells you they’ve solved it and you move on to the next room, as otherwise you will be holding up the next party. Extremely demotivating and just annoying. The music and ambient sounds are way too loud and distract from the recordings needed to solve the puzzles. It’s expensive and not worth it. It feels like Universal wanted to jump on the brand wagon but failed miserably. Stay away as you will leave frustrated. We had high expectations but those were not met in the slightest.

    Great use of technology but not really an escape room that most of us are used too. Please think twice before booking. A lot of puzzles involved putting a puppet stuffed animal somewhere, very weird. You have to like the theme in order to enjoy the room. Some puzzles just didn’t make sense. There was no clear connection between several puzzles.

    This room was nice, some unusual puzzles but not too challenging. This is a great room for beginners and would give you a great idea of what an escape room is all about, however, I would not recommend this room to experienced escapers. It just isn’t challenging enough.

    Good escape room. Great flow, everyone got to enjoy all the puzzles. Loved the unique elements of this room. The hosts were friendly and were able to explain anything that was unclear. I suggest playing the game ‘dead silent’ if you are experienced escapers. They will not give you any hints that way.

    Not your traditional escape room. This is unlike anything you have done before. I highly recommend watching the series as a lot of things just do not make sense if you haven’t watched it. I found puzzels far fetched and a lot of them required specific knowledge. The host runs the place by himself and I felt like we didn’t get the help we needed. I recommend this room to people that can go in without expectations and don’t compare it to other ‘traditional’ escape rooms.

    Great room. The theming was done very well, an exciting take on the classic FBI/CIA themed rooms. Great use of technology and exciting puzzles. Would definitely recommend especially for those trying out escape rooms for the first time.

    Excellent example of what an escape room should be. Enthusiastic owner that mentioned he creates a lot of the elements himself. Great use of technology and good theming of the room. There are puzzles in there that will even surprise those who play escape rooms often. This is a great room, I definitely recommend!

    Good room which should be the standard for other USA rooms. The storyline was not incorporated well. Puzzles were common in other rooms but still fun. There was a great flow. There is a ‘bonus’ element in the room which was not explained to is prior to starting. This confused us as we ended up not needing it to finish the game. Overall: great room far better than the average USA one!

    Disappointing to say the least. Puzzles are extremely difficult and not logically constructed. Although the storyline is pretty cool, you do not feel like you are part of the story in any way. The staff was a disappointment: they had no passion for the game whatsoever. Numerous times we tried to contact them while in the room without response. Would not recommend.

    Extraordinary. Amazing theming, a ‘wow’ factor and a great flow are just some aspects of this room. I would play again here in a heartbeat!
