Our date night at the Hidden Gems Escape Room was nothing short of amazing! The experience was both challenging and fun, with puzzles that really got our brains working. The immersive environment added a thrilling layer to the adventure, making us feel like we were part of an exciting laboratory experiment while on the hunt to find the answers. It was the perfect way to bond and create lasting memories together. We can't wait to return for another adventure!

I was impressed with how well this escape room was put together, and especially with how kid-friendly/-accessible it was without being childish. Plenty of puzzles for the grown-ups to solve with the little ones helping 😊

Overall, one of the best rooms in Richmond and we’ve done them all. Owners were great and stayed after closing to chat about their background and location and room designs.

Gameplay

Game flowed well.

Atmosphere

The lab setting was very close to what a real lab would contain and could contain.

Customer service

Owners/operators at this establishment were the GM’s and were very welcoming

Particularly interesting or different

Yes

Easily the best lab themed room we’ve done ever and having done over 200 rooms over the years, still would rank in top 10%. Furthermore, for the Richmond area, is in top five locally.

Story

Story line was great, though plot line was a little lacking in some creative aspects.

Difficulty

Hard

I would recommend this more a more seasoned group if smaller (2-3) and would probably still recommend larger groups (4+) have at least one person having more of a scientific understanding or at least a higher level of critical thinking.

Game tech

High tech

Use of the door key pads, computers, and the mechanical elements was a great touch to keep patrons immersed.

Ideal number of players

4

Since my wife and I typically only do rooms by ourselves, while we’re still were able to escape, there’s a lot of room to cover.

Scary

Not scary

Minimum age

Recommendation is to have at least one person in the group to be able to use a computer and understand elements on the periodic table.

Somewhat

There was a few times where you had to go from room to room (3 rooms in total for this game), though it was not like you were crawling through small places or anything.

Easy to find location

No

A little hard to find this place as it is kind of tucked away in a corner of the strip mall.

Parking

Easy

Parking near entrance.

This room really puts you into that laboratory setting with puzzles using a little mad science to get you the answer. Our group had a great time with the room and our GM. Easily one of my top 3 rooms now.

Elixir Inc. Was a great room. I have played science/lab rooms before and not been impressed but this one really blew me away. You get to actually mess with objects and tools in the lab and you feel like you are really there. Very clever lab designed puzzles and story. I can tell lots of effort went into this room. I recommend this room for both new players and enthusiasts alike. Super fun will be back to try their new rooms!

This room was so cool! My partner and I were excited for the new escape room in Richmond and it does not disappoint. The attention to detail on the design is AWESOME, and it felt like there were enough puzzles to keep us both entertained the full hour! I also love any room that is a mix of both movie magic and traditional locks so this was spot on for me!

Gameplay

Very cool room lots of space! Puzzles feel challenging throughout, without being impossible!

Atmosphere

Lots of attention to detail!!!

Customer service

The new owners are the nicest people!!

Particularly interesting or different
