NM Escape Room

Awesome time! Took a bunch of friends there, now I’m they can’t stop talking about it. Everyone is excited to do the next two rooms. Plus, the staff there are on it!

It’s difficult to tell your husband that you love him and want to lock him in a room and see if he can escape. Just invite all his friends and I swear he will love it. Great experience!

I had a great evening! It was my friend’s birthday (and her idea in the first place) — and it was totally up her alley. She’s a puzzle NUT! This activity is great for friends and I can see how it can be used for team-​building. Thanks, Escape Room, for a fun time!

I’ve been to all (currently three) of their rooms and I can say without a doubt that they are some of my favorite experiences in my life.
Having grown up in a little town, I hadn’t even heard of an escape room until I moved out here. However, as a long-​time fan of puzzle games (starting with the original Myst) I figured it would be right up my alley.
And goodness gracious was it. The Blood Map (the first room) we escaped with with only moments to spare. The decoration really set the mood and the puzzles were creative and allowed my group to all be participating.
Simon Says, or The Cabin, is the second one. It was terrifyingly fantastic. My group failed, but it didn’t lessen the fun that any of us had. The atmosphere was PERFECT. Without spoiling anything, prepare yourselves if you chose this one.
The Unpublished, the most recent, is probably my least favorite of the three (but was still great). It throws in several twists that kept us guessing but was more linear than the other. Although a couple locks that stuck a little kept us from victory (I promise I push and then pulled), none of us felt disappointed.
Every time I have friends in town I want to take them to the new room. The owners are really friendly, and I can’t wait to see what they come up with next. Whether you’re in Albuquerque or just passing through, you owe it to yourself to check out this gem of the city. You won’t regret it!

This is amazing! We did one of these in Las Vegas and were excited to find one of these back home. We did «Unpublished». I would say this one was more difficult than the one in Vegas, but that makes it more fun. They do a really good job with making the room challenging, but not frustrating. We will be back again!!!

This place is great, but don’t expect to get out easily.
I had heard about the place and wanted to check it out. When you first walk in, it doesn’t seem like anything special; you just walk into a room with a check in table and a few puzzles around. Once the group for your session arrives (and be on-​time!) you’re given instructions. Overall, it’s pretty simple: you have 60 minutes to get out of the room, you get three clues throughout that time, and the game master will communicate with you on a TV screen in the room. We learned throughout our escape adventure that they also sometimes give you free hints!
They lead you to the room, and once the door closes: IT’S ON! What first seems like a normal room has more clues than you could think of. The game masters that put together the clues on this game are some smart guys — it takes a lot of effort to put together an array of clues that interesting and complex.
We managed to get out with just 30 seconds to spare, but a lot of others aren’t as lucky. I did it just with one person I know and then four strangers. It may seem weird to be locked in a room for an hour with people you don’t know, but trust me, it helps. The wide variety of skills you will possess will help you at different aspects of the puzzle. I look forward to going back to try some of the other rooms!

This place was so much fun! This was our first time in an escape room and it was a blast. We will definitely be back to complete the other two rooms. Thank you NM Escape Room for providing a fun atmosphere and a brain challenge.

It’s puzzles, strategy and clues… that lead to more puzzles, strategies, and clues. All of it leaves you scratching your brain and wanting more!
I absolutely love this place and can’t wait to go back! Everyone there is kind and they give you just a bit of direction, considering I had no clue what I was walking into! Absolutely brilliant!

Had so much fun at the NM Escape Room. Went with a group of 8 — adults & teens. Had friends visiting from out of town, and this was definitely a fun way to spend time together, laughing, having fun and trying to figure out all the clues. I would highly recommend this experience. Very challenging, but it is doable if you put your heads together and work as a team.

Outstanding customer service, professional, and tons of fun!!!
My 15 year old son and his friends celebrated his birthday here and it was his best birthday so far!

This place is awesome! I organized a team building exercise for my coworkers and I. Seven of us showed and we had a blast trying to escape using the various clues and unlocking locks like nobody’s business! It’s great for family, friends, or corporate team building. The staff was helpful, but didn’t go overboard. They let us have our space and work it out, which was great! They are building a 3^rd room. Can’t wait to go again!

I don’t know about you, but the idea of being locked in a small room with seven other people for any amount of time kind of freaks me out. However, the folks at N.M. Escape Room make your voyage in to what could be creepy very exciting! Our team at work decided this would be the perfect activity and I have to admit, it sounded pretty cool but I had no idea what to expect other than we’d be trapped and searching for an exit. I won’t give much away because this activity really depends on the element of surprise but I can guarantee you that the hour you spend there will be one of the quickest hours (like sand in an hourglass), and you won’t be bored. Also, the dude that explained our game was super cool (a definite plus when you have no idea what you’re getting yourself in to). Don’t be mad if you don’t escape, not many do! I’m giving this 4 out of 5 only because it’s definitely gimmicky – meaning once you crack it, there’s not much doing it again. However, since the room we were in was relatively new I’m sure they will keep creating and people will keep paying to escape! (it’s a win-​win, right?!)

LOVE LOVE LOVE! Can’t say enough great things about the NM Escape Room! A unique, fun things to do with friends or family that doesn’t involve sitting in front of a screen. I’ve tried it twice, and the best part is that you will have a great time whether you fail or succeed in escaping the room. The staff is great, the rooms are challenging, and you will have an awesome time!

I really enjoyed my time at the NM Escape Room. A few reasons why…
This place is very unique, it’s the only one like it in ABQ so be prepared for something you’ve probably never done before! They’ll go over a few rules and details about what to expect, and you’ll be excited to get your eyes on the upcoming Escape Room (s)!
NM Escape Room is great for families/​groups/​corporate teams. I came here with some people who I didn’t know very well but by the end of our fun in the Escape Room I felt like we all had accomplished something and it will be a great conversation later too! As a corporate team-​building exercise, this is fun and not boring at all and it will certainly require your team to work together. And of course, imagine the fun you can have with your family members as you figure out all the clues to get out of the Escape Room :)
The experience itself is hard, but not impossible. They give you 3 clues if you need them so don’t give up hope! It’s not a haunted house thing that is meant to scare you, think of it more like playing a real life version of Clue!
Enjoy a great time at NM Escape Room!

I absolutely LOVE this place and I hope that Albuquerque comes out in full force to support it and help it grow.
It’s a great place for company team building, big group of friends, family in town visiting, etc. Find an excuse and just go.
One major tip… Bring your A game!
You are going to be worried about missing a clue but don’t be… that’s why you have a notepad and team players!
The staff’s enthusiasm is infectious. They explain everything you need to know without ruining the surprise perfectly. These folks are top notch.
I can’t wait for my family to come into town so i can take them here.

NM Escape Room offers a unique and challenging experience. Teams must work together to decipher mysteries and ultimately escape the room. NM Escape Room is a fantastic idea for a fun date, it’s also perfect for team-​building and would even be a great activity for a group of friends.
The owner was welcoming. Staff were professional and friendly. The facility was a creative space with engaging props. Plenty of lot parking is available.
I highly recommend NM Escape Room. I enjoyed escaping with fellow Unilocalers at a recent event and plan to return soon with my other half so we can escape the other room together.

Had a great time. Thought so much my head hurts, but loved every minute of it. Highly recommend.

Amazing thrill ride from 59:59 to 00:01. An hour long mystery. Hidden clues, trap doors, pad locks and blood. Plan on going back over and over!

We decided to go to the escape room for a bachelor party. We had done the So good that i went back to do the other room layer in the day

So fun! My husband and I went with our best friends — there were four of us — and we had a BLAST. We liked going in with four people — and we got out of the room with one minute to spare!
Be prepared to communicate with each other, to receive clues with lots of gratitude, and to solve lots of puzzles and riddles. We are still talking about it, hours later.
We highly recommend this experience!
