Visited this place last Oct 2019. Had a blast. It was just the three of us and we were all foreigners. So knowing some US history and facts were kind of challenging. Sadly, we did not get to finish the game. We were a couple of minute short. The staff were friendly and accomodating and helpful, too. It was really fun.

We did two rooms and both were a great experience! One was finding a Safehouse and trying to rescue a secret agent. The other was saving the White House. We have done escape rooms before and know that going with a group is better than trying them with just the two of us (the more minds, the better, to bounce ideas off of). With just two, we knew it was going to be hard. The Safehouse ended up just being the two of us. Like we imagined, it was extremely hard. There were tactile puzzles along with the normal locks, riddles, and clues. We failed at this one and only made it about 3/4 of the way through

Did the save the white house escape room with my family. It was such a great experience, they did so good at making sure to chime in with tiny hints to make sure we weren't getting frustrated with each other and the set up was amazing. The room was incredibly elaborate and so cool with really clever clues. We will be back soon!

Went to EscapeHouse this past Friday night with a group of six other people and did the Special Ops escape room. It was definitely an engaging experience and the difficulty level was perfect. The staff was friendly and walked through everything with us beforehand - and of course gave us clues when we needed them throughout our almost hour-long scenario. All in all, it was a fantastic time and the entire group agreed that we would be coming back soon to try some of the other escape rooms!

My staff came here during one of our bonding days and it was certainly a fun experience! The person working the room is great and really helpful. We had some minor equipment malfunction once we were in the room and they were quick to fix the issue. The theme of the room we chose was presidential and it made for some great collaboration (and even some healthy competition) among our team to try and solve the clues.

This is the first escape room I have ever gotten to play through, but my partner and I have had a long history and experience playing through escape room games in our childhoods and teenage years which are pretty much the precursor for these. We were a group of five with my sibling (and their partner) and our mom, all of which were not familiar with these type of puzzle games. However, we all had a great time and were suitably challenged and engaged with the little storyline and puzzles (we did the White House mission and succeeded!). The room and game are immersive, the puzzles really encourage
