This is great quest they have and one of the best I tryed so far.
What is surprising is how small this quest is.
It’s much smaller then many other quests I have completed but game flow is designed so well that you don’t notice it.
Best amount of people for this quest is 3 max 4
Budget for this quest was not big but again emplementation of all elements is great. It’s not too easy and not too difficult. If you are looking for great challenge this quest is not for you. If you are looking to enjoy the game flow it’s for you.

I really liked design of this quest.
And differents between different areas of quest don’t want to spoil it here.
I found one big game flow — puzzle problem close to the end. There is one code that you need to find and there is no clue where it can be. And the place where they desided to place it is bad choice. Besides that great experience

I would put this one at last place and as hardest quest as for me.
Some of the puzzles was hard to follow theyr logic.
Some of the puzzles didn’t have any logic and some other puzzles was really creative and unique. Almost at the end it gets really fun.

If I understand correctly this quest is really popular.
I have completed 4 jail break quests and this one stands as second best.
There is some puzzles which was not logical for the setting but I understand why they put them there. Since there is not much space. At the end I also found few puzzles little bit not that logical but overall great experience with good game flow.
I would recommend this place to everyone beginners and experienced players.
I Hope this helped.

This escape game was a lot of fun. We did the «Gold Rush» game. The décor was very immersive and there were nice surprises along the way. It was well designed and offered lots of unique puzzles that appealed to different players. The staff was friendly and professional. The only thing we didn’t like was to be paired with a family that included 2 kids under the age of 10. The kids loved it but for us it detracted from the experience of enjoying the room and focusing on the puzzles. Overall, it was a top-​notch game.

I came here with a group of 5 friends and we experienced the «Classified» room. We had one hour to escape and while I will not reveal anything about the room, I will say that I had an incredible time with my friends and I found this room’s theme to be very well done and intense. It was almost realistic to me and I was very anxious throughout. If you are visiting Orlando or are even a resident here, if you happen to be near International Drive, you should definitely check out the place.
I think what made it even more enjoyable was the staff. They were very enthusiastic when we arrived and made the experience even better for us. They are available throughout the game if you ever need them which is a comforting thought and are waiting for you the second that you escape. They are also very clear and thorough with their explanation when you start the game.
The room required 7 people, so we were put with 2 others. They were nice and we were all able to work together. I believe they fill up very quickly with reservations so make sure you book beforehand when you do plan to go. My friends and I booked that same day but we did it several hours before.
The place is conveniently located near all the tourist attractions of Orlando so it’s not too far of a drive if you are vacationing around the area. Since it is only an hour, you have plenty of time throughout your day to do other touristy things. In terms of cost, if you’re tight on money it can seem pretty steep but I think it was worth it.
All in all, this is a memorable and fun experience to share with friends. I am excited to try another escape room in the near future!

The Heist was a lot of fun. The puzzles were very clever, rooms were well designed, and the staff was friendly. My only criticism is that it’s more expensive than Escapology and the rooms are not private. For the extra money we are paying, I expect to have a private room even if we have less than 8 people. For that reason I must rate it only 4 stars.

My husband and I went on a triple date with some of our friends. We had found out about the Escape Game Orlando from Groupon and decided to go with the Classified room. Sorry! No pictures allowed.
ABOUT: The whole premise is to «escape» your room in an hour. There are different themes/​missions. Escape Game Orlando offers four games: The Heist, Classified, Prison Break, and Gold Rush. You and your team have to work together to find clues and solve puzzles to make your way out of a «locked room» in an hour. There’s the added pressure of a countdown clock too.
Once you arrive, you’ll be greeted and asked to sign in, which consists of a waiver form. The rooms are pretty small, and there’s no windows. So if you’re claustrophobic, you may want to sit this out. However, you can always leave the room. You’re not technically locked in. There’s buttons that allow you to leave for any reason.
You have three free hints. If you need more help, you can use a hint, but it will cost you 3 minutes of time on their leaderboard. This doesn’t impact the game clock at all. The example they used was if you escaped the room in 59 minutes and used four hints, you still escaped.
I won’t ruin it by using specifics, but we had a blast doing it. The best part was we escaped!
PRICE: It was pretty expensive, so it’s not an activity you’d typically do every week. However, there are some great deals on Groupon.
LOCATION: It’s located on International Drive — about a block from the Orlando Eye. There’s a lot of traffic on International Drive, so plan to leave some time to fight the traffic and find parking. There is a pretty big lot that is shared by some shops and restaurants, located behind the building. If you’re wanting to grab some food and drinks before/​after you play, the Escape Game Orlando is next to some pretty good restaurants within walking distance.
OVERALL: I’ll definitely be back. Of course, I’d like to try another room.
NOTE: There was a part that involved a small crawl space. I liked how it was challenge by choice where you could either hop in and see what awaited on the other side OR if you were not cool with that, you’d call your staff member to help you out.

I can’t but help give The Escape Game five stars! Our family was celebrating a 70^th birthday and had the time of our lives!!!
The staff was AWESOME, the game was AWESOME and tons of fun and challenging enough to keep us engrossed, engaged and wanting more! We are crossing our fingers that The Escape Game will be coming to Chicago soon so we can visit it more frequently!
Thanks for an amazing time!!!

We escaped!!! Awesome time celebrating moms 70^th B day Staff was great, very helpful and encouraging! You must do this!!!

I have gone to the escape game Orlando three times and each time has been awesome, however the last time I went my experience was not great. My friends and I did the Gold Rush room. We made it all the way to the end with time to spare but the room wasn’t reset properly. Things were still unlocked from the last group who went through which made it seem like those objects didn’t matter. They refused to acknowledge their mistake and just brushed us off and seemed like they didn’t care. It was a disappointing experience.

It was my friend’s birthday and her husband surprised her by getting a group of us together for the Escape Game on a recent Friday night. First of all, the location is ideal because it is right next to a couple of restaurants. We ate at Chuy’s which is right next door, then walked over to the Escape Game.
We were greeted right away by the friendly staff up front. We were actually a few minutes late but they were really nice about it and got us in quickly. We were a group of 10 and the game can hold up to 8 people, so we were split up. The 4 of us were paired with another group of 4. There are several different games you can play ranging in level of difficulty. We chose to play Heist.
Even though my group was with 4 strangers, we all had a great time. It was challenging and fun. Obviously I can’t go into details because I don’t want to spoil the game. It got pretty close, but our group escaped just in the nick of time. We all got stickers that said «I Escaped!» Our friends in the other group unfortunately did not escape in time but got stickers that said «I almost escaped!» The staff were very accommodating and made sure we got pictures with our group. The manager was there while we were waiting for our friends to finish and he told us about the concept, how the company started, their first location in Nashville, etc. He was really nice!
Like I mentioned earlier, it was my friend’s birthday. The staff were so nice and gave her a free Escape Game t-​shirt and wisher her happy birthday. Everyone there was awesome. We had a great time and will definitely be back! Also just a tip, if you go to Escape Game first, you can show your receipt at Chuy’s and get a discount.

This was a lot more fun than I expected, and a lot more challenging. One thing I liked about this escape room is that you can ask for hints whenever you’re stuck by using a walkie-​talkie. I played in another escape room where our helper would show up every 10 minutes and asked if we needed help.

Had an amazing experience at the Escape Game! I had already been to one game before, but at a different business. I went here with a group of 8 people total, and it was awesome! There is plenty of parking, which was great. There are currently 4 different game scenarios to play, and we did Classified. The people that worked there were super nice and friendly, and made sure we all understood how to play before they shut the door and started the game! The room itself was really well-​themed and challenging, but we did manage to escape with 12 minutes left! The supervisor came out to greet us after to make sure we had a great experience, and was telling us about the new room, Gold Rush, that had just opened that week. We each received an «I Escaped!» bumper sticker, and those that don’t make it out still receive an «I *almost* escaped!» bumper sticker. Kinda a fun take-​away. :)
I would go into way more detail, but that would just ruin the mystery and fun that is an escape room!!! This is a MUST DO attraction, and can be done with a big group, or you can go with just a few people (but you may be paired up with strangers).
They told me there are always Groupon deals being posted, so keep a lookout for that! As of this posting, there is one available (basically 50% for 2 or 4 people). Great deal for a great time! They are also having a deal in house right now — buy a giftcard to come back and play, get a free t-​shirt!

This is my first time participating in an escape game and it was fantastic.
The Escape Game at Orlando was very well done, organized, challenging, and simply a lot of fun. Our group did Prison Break, which Im happy to say I Escaped from (with just a couple seconds but thats another story haha), and there were things to look at and do all over the room.
The staff is great. Not just friendly but very interested in making sure you understand how the rooms work. The hints they give are helpful without giving it all away so there is still a challenge in it.
I advise people to visit and have a good time. Definitely going back to try the other rooms. Thanks for the experience!

The Escape Game was a fun and challenging evening. For a quick jaunt to Orlando, I wanted to do something other than a theme park and dinner show. Cue a Google search and I found The Escape Game. Prices are reasonable — $ 32 a person — and it won’t take up a huge chunk of your day.
There are 3 different games to choose from — a heist, prison break, and classified. We chose the heist. We were paired with a group of 6 that included mostly young tweens. My only disappointment was there were so excited and knew each other so they took over certain parts of the game and myself and a friend lagged behind.
You get one hour to complete your escape along with 3 free clues and a number of hints from the game attendant. We had a lot of fun figuring things out and our group complemented each other well in what we figured out quickly and what we struggled with. We escaped with 5 minutes to spare and got an «I Escaped» sticker and had a picture in front of their escaped wall. I definitely want to come back with a larger group and do a different game.

The only reason this isn’t a ⁴⁄₅ star review is because you have to share the room with other people. Yes, they told me there was a possibility it could happen but very different when you are actually trying out the experience with complete strangers. I understand they want to make money, but at the expense of other people and I paid good money for the room. I have been to many escape games in Orlando as I am a resident and compared to those the room was great and challenging which I liked. I also liked the hidden aspects of it (trying not to give stuff away) and the extra challenge of being a time leader. However, when you are with strangers it is awkward because you are trying to balance your excitement for the game with being courteous for the people you are with. I won’t return unless I have the exact amount of people the room can hold.

Je crois que c’est mon Escape Game préféré aux USA (j’en ai testé 4 sur Orlando et 3 ailleurs).
Il y a trois thèmes au choix, en premier j’ai fais celui où on doit voler un tableau je trouvais l’idée super cool!
Le jeu était top, assez dur on y est presque arrivé, il y avait des énigmes très originales.
Et la deuxième fois on a fait prison break que j’ai trouvé génial il y a des choses que je n’avais jamais vu qui étaient excellentes, déjà juste le début c’est super bien ça met vraiment dans l’ambiance.
Situé sur International drive avec un grand parking donc très facile d’accès, je reviendrais avec plaisir l’an prochain tester les nouvelles salles.

My friends and I have been addicted to escape rooms ever since we completed our first one a few months ago. Our goal is to try to experience every room in the area that has great reviews. We were here a few days ago on Friday evening to play, «Prison Break.» This was my forth escape room, so I know what I was getting into. The receptionist was nice and welcoming, but a huge unprofessional thing I spotted was she was chewing gum in front of us. Gum chewing is a strict policy I think most businesses enforce. She was just chewing away and seemed not care about her job. It was unprofessional, sorry.
Besides that, we signed our waivers to play the room. I read some interesting things such as some «physical activity», «injuries,» and «not responsible for death.» I know it’s for liability issues, but reading it made feel uncomfortable about what I am getting into. The game control attendant greeted us and told us about the theme of the room. This room is different from the other 2 they have. In Prison Break, your team is separated into 2 groups that are held in 2 separate rooms. We did boys vs. girls since we had 3 boys and 3 girls. The girls went into Room 1 as us boys entered Room 2. The room was a small prison cell. We couldn’t see the girls, but we can hear them. The rooms are separate, but there is a small hallway on the other side of the cells. We were instructed to watch the TV to learn rules, theme, plot, and mission.
You have 1 hour to escape the room. You can ask for 3 clues for free. If you ask for more, you will gain 3 negative minutes on your time at the end. If you complete the room at 55:00, then your time is 58:00. This may disqualify you from having a new record time. However, the game attendant may give you free clues to help you out if needed. She gave us a radio to communicate with her when we need clues. Also, the TV monitor will display clues to. Listen for the beep on the radio to know when to look at the TV.
Sadly, we didn’t make it out. If we had just another 2 minutes we would’ve made it. We knew what to do to escape, but we needed to correct our puzzle to learn the last code. I won’t spoil the room, but I will give you some helpful hints:
You must all work together; Communicate successfully; Nothing is what it seems; Do not waste time: Analyze the cells: Pay attention to detail; and most importantly, pay attention to avoid injury! Yes, I received a head injury for not paying close attention. I am fine though.
This room is possible to escape in time if you work together and don’t over think. I highly recommend this escape room because it is unique, difficult, fun, and interesting. We will be back to play other 2 rooms. Thank you.

Our office group of 16 had a great time here. There are six rooms available (three different experience, with two rooms each), and each accommodates from 2 – 7 people, so we took over three of them.
The experiences our groups did were Prison Break and Classified. Two of the three groups finished within the allotted time, however I can safely say this was because we received a significant amount of hints to help keep it fun. Without the hints, I would probably still be there, a day later!
The staff is very friendly, the facility is beautiful, and the set decoration of the games is great,. Everyone really enjoyed the experience.
While there is no replay value to a given experience, I’m sure everyone would leap at the chance to go back and try the others.

Had an AWESOME time. This is my 3^rd adventure took type experience and this location was by far the most sophisticated.
Four of us did the heist. With the help of our game facilitator, we managed to win. She was super active in monitoring our successes and many failures and gave us hints through the monitor. She was seriously the best. The whole experience was too fun!!! And absolutely great option if you’re theme parked out.
We were supposed to be 6 but 2 friends didn’t make it on the flight down to FL from NJ. The manager I spoke with initially gave me a hard time about the refund but we later for a notification that the refund went through. After having such a great time I actually wouldn’t have minded getting credit since I’ll definitely be back again next time I’m in Orlando!

This place is PHENOMENAL!!! I did the prison break game and it was the highlight of my trip to Orlando. The entire thing is just extremely we’ll produced and really and awesome experience — especially for the price. Go and you’ll have no regrets.
I worried it could be too easy but it’s not! It’s a really great challenge, even for smart 20-something’s. (We were 3 tasks away from escaping.)
Don’t worry about getting paired with strangers. I went in a group of two, got paired with 4 others and it was a great time. It’s a total team-​building type thing so everyone loosens up pretty quick. GO! NOW!!!

The Escape Game is no game at all. It’s a mental exercise with a huge side of headache.
Three experiences are offered at the The Escape Game Orlando: The Heist, Classified, and Prison Break. We decided to get our Ocean’s 11 on with The Heist.
The Basics:
–Cost: $ 28/​person
–Age: 12 and up
–Capacity: 6 to 7 people depending on the room
–Personal belongings: stowed in box when game begins
–Arrival time: 15 minutes early to sign waiver
–Reservations: make them, space will fill up
Our party of 7 was trapped in a room with a singular goal: steal a painting, make our escape. Simple to state, hell to execute.
The puzzles were eclectic, utilizing letters, numbers, symbols, maps, and objects. We advanced through the game with successful use of reasoning and some light physical tasks.
We were given 3 free clues; each additional one requested would come with a 3-​minute penalty on our final time. The worker who monitored our room was on-​point at nudging us in the right direction.
The story was coherent with a well-​designed set. A mechanical element will pleasantly surprise if you get that far. One downside was that the progression was too linear, making it hard to split up the group into different tasks. Most of us were just baffled most of the time.
Our team may have redefined the phrase «down to the wire», escaping with 3 seconds on the clock with no penalty. Winning earned us a sticker that said, «I escaped» in bold capital letters, but after all that frantic frustration, it should have been a value-​sized bottle of Advil instead.
The Escape Game is no game at all. It’s an exhilarating experience that will make you wonder if you might be mildly masochistic for wanting to do it again.

#1 tip: Make a reservation!
We escaped! So friggin’ fun! What a fabulous experience — so great, I can’t wait to go back and try the other rooms.
We went on a Saturday evening with 7 people in our group so we had a room to ourselves. We had The Heist: «Stealing is wrong. Most of the time. Get ready for an exciting challenge of beating thieves at their own game. If you succeed in your mission you will become national heroes! If you fail, you will be treated as a common criminal by the authorities.»
I had no idea what to expect as I have never done an escape room but I was researching them all week. This one worked for the size of our party and time and their reviews were pretty decent.
We arrived and were taken to our room and given the walk through of the basic rules. You have 1 hour to figure out all of the puzzles to conquer the game. In this game we were in search of the stolen painting. There is a monitor in the room and you have a walkie to request clues from your guide. You have 3 clues you can request during the hour and your guide will also give you free clues throughout the game.
You have NO tips to begin your game though and that is what freaked me out the most. You just have to dive in and start to look for things you have to solve, locks you have to unlock, items you have to uncover… seriously it’s so nerve-​racking and AWESOME! What a thrill. You don’t even know if there are multiple rooms, you just have to figure everything out as you go along.
I don’t want to give away anything but know that you have to work as a team, go with patience and get ready for some fun. It forces you to use your brain in ways you don’t in your normal day to day and I loved that. Communication was a huge piece for our team of 7 as well. We had to do so many different things, I can’t even remember everything we discovered. It was that cool.
So, without give away too many details, just go with some friends, an open mind and get ready to have some F-​U-​N!
Only downfall is the parking situation here since it’s in the middle of I-​Drive. Be patient and arrive early for that.
