This was our second time at Way of Escape and enjoyed our experience yet again! Our game coordinator, Italy was so friendly and a pleasure to work with! Thank you again and we'll for sure be back for more great adventures!

What a fun time! We went super fast and still had 27 minutes to spare. It was our first escape room, and it was an easy level. Game master was personable and made us feel welcome. Great time, can't wait to come back!

We have come 3 times now and all of our game masters have been fantastic. I wish I could remember the others names but it was back over summer and my memory is not the best. Our game master today Sean was very helpful and enthusiastic. We’ve done The Hiding place, bomb squad, and the cure. All rooms unique in their own way. My husband and I are enthusiasts and feel like these rooms are easy/medium for us. For beginners and smaller groups they may be on the harder side.

To start we have done many escape rooms at many locations and have done from very immersive to the simple lock and key rooms. Beat the room, Red door, Adventure gamez, Winchester, Escape games, just to name a few. We have done a few rooms here and to be honest they were not all that fun. So let me break it down.

Bomb Squad- At every place we have gone the thing we are told is once you use this clue you will no longer need it. Well this room is keep all clues cause if you fail one clue, the room ends. You loose. Our game master was not very nice to us after. She made us feel like we were dumb as we lost on the last piece. It felt like a waste of money.

Bigfoot- Our game master Sean was great and helped us solve the problem with one of the interactive elements acting up. But the room was convoluted. There is not an order to the room like most places. So you get lost on what the next steps are. But we did enjoy for the most part.

The Cure- Was fine, nothing of note here.

The Hiding place- There was an exposed screw in a box in a room with very little light well I stuck my hand in not knowing and got a cut on my hand. The room is hard as every like 30 sec you have to duck down and get out of sight so most of the room was spent crawling on our backs or hands and knees to not set off the alarm. We came out of the room feeling overwhelmed. Again Sean was great and did his best to help us.

Chernoybl- The room is designed by someone who is very smart but almost to smart to make a room that is done by normal everyday people. We came out annoyed at how all over the place the room was. Sean again was great.

Pirates- We took another person with us because it looked fun. It was not linear in the way you solve it. The props were not working. We had to apply real pressure to open some of the doors. There were not clues to really help guide you. There is no board to write clues down in a room that had ciphers this was annoying. But the worst was our poor game master was so understaffed so we were not answered when we asked for clues for about 15 min. We know because we were told the music would play when we had 15 min left, and we asked while no music was playing then kept asking and kept asking and were ignored until the song "bad day" started playing saying we had lost. Needless to say we did not enjoy and felt robbed for how expensive the room was.

Overall, the rooms are too complicated. The clues are all over the place. They are understaffed. The experience was not great. And we gave it a lot of chances to impress us. But Sean was great and is a fantastic Game master!

Our volleyball team went to Way of Escape for a team bonding event. There were 26 people in attendance and we split into 3 groups. The boys and coach took on the pirates room. Parents split between The Hiding Place and The Cure. We all had an amazing time!! As soon as we were done everyone began to express that they wanted to plan another event there as soon as possible!!
Game masters Chloe and Mike did a great job! They made our experience even more fun!
If you are looking for a fun and memorable experience with a large group contact them asap!!

Way of Escape offers a thrilling and immersive experience, and the Bigfoot escape room was no exception. The room was well-designed, with creative puzzles and a fun storyline that kept us engaged from start to finish. The attention to detail in the set design really added to the atmosphere, making the hunt for Bigfoot both exciting and challenging.

However, the experience was somewhat dampened by the staff. While the escape room itself was fantastic, the customer service left much to be desired. The staff seemed disinterested and unhelpful, which was disappointing given how much fun the room was.

Despite the lackluster service, the quality of the Bigfoot escape room still made it a memorable and enjoyable experience. If the staff were less passive aggressive, this could easily be a 5-star attraction.

Rojo was our game master. Great sense of humor, we enjoyed discussing the various escape rooms in the area! We enjoyed the escape room and seeing the other ones in the building, we definitely want to return and do more.

They go above and beyond at Way of Escape! If you’re looking for an escape room that puts as much emphasis on set design as they do puzzles, look no further. I’ve done the Hiding Place and the Hunt for Bigfoot so far. They were both thrilling in their own ways. Bigfoot was one of my all time favorite rooms and I’ve done a LOT of escape rooms! It was extremely challenging for 2 people but we managed to escape.

I also appreciate the walkie talkies for receiving hints, as opposed to a screen. I feel that I’m able to truly immerse myself in the experience instead of checking the clock to see how much time is left. I can’t wait to come back and experience the rest of their rooms!
