My group and I did the Mad Lab escape room. Initially I thought the experience was alright, Ive had better experiences but at least the puzzles were fun but every time I think about the room and talk with my group about our experience I get more and more disappointed.
Lets talk about the room itself: the room was spacious and looked nice! The atmosphere was cool. Looked like a cool lab. It had some cool puzzles that actually required some skill or brain power. Most of our time was spent just searching for things though and getting confused about what is and isnt part of the puzzles

We went here with my friends. This is not the typical escape room where you have hints after hints. We did the mad lab and there's so much unnecessary stuff inside the room. Given that the room is full of science and math puzzles, you will see equations that are not even for the codes so don't waste time doing them. Also, a staff will be inside as well which makes things more awkward because she just stands there and she gave us attitude the whole time. They want you to work on different groups while inside the room with different puzzles unlike other escape rooms that you help each other

We had 8 girls ages 8-9 years old and they all absolutely loved it ! It was my daughters birthday. This was the only place I could find in SD that allowed kids and 10 people ! We did Cleopatras tomb super fun. It was hard but they made sure the girls succeeded with seconds to spare !

Came in today for my first ever escape room experience. We ended up doing the mad lab. Grayson was our gamemaster and she absolutely killed it! She definitely made the experience 1000x more enjoyable. Although we didn't end up finishing the escape room in time. Definitely left with a smile on our faces and a great time. We definitely wouldn't hesitate to go back and try another one!

My group, 7 people, did the Tomb of Cleopatra room. It was a fun room. It was mostly puzzles that didn't require locks or numbers. A lot of physical puzzles, which was different from other escape rooms I've done. We got out with 20 minutes to spare, using a hint once. Not a hard room, except for that one hint we needed. It was a fun time though. We'll try the other two rooms for sure, hoping they are harder than this one.

I had a great time for my first escape room with my family on my birthday! There was lots of parking at the Miramar location, the bathrooms were very clean, and there was a lot of room for us to wait while our room was being prepared. The woman who was running our escape room was very nice and helpful. She was very patient since it was our first time. She gave us hints when we were struggling to escape and we used them ALL! We got out with 4-5 minutes to spare! I would suggest these escape rooms to anyone. I had a delightful experience and I would love to come back and do another one!
