We decided to celebrate 1st day of the new year with some escaping. After a great visit to Sarasota we did 2 escape rooms in Escape Reality. Descent Into Madness (magic) and Clue Dunnit (crime investigating). Both were absolutely visually stunning and very quality rooms. Unique puzzles are always welcomed and both rooms had plenty of them.
Marylin was fantastic and a fun game master. We can't wait to visit Sarasota again and do more of their high quality beautiful rooms. Thank you so much for the brain enhancement

Sara was great host and gave us a great intro into our escape room theme. It was well laid out and easy to operate everything. Instructions were clear and straightforward. Very fun! Will be back again for other experiences.

Im visiting from New York and my best friends decided to try this escape room and it was SO MUCH FUN! Chase was an absolute star of a host, he was so kind and personable. When we come back, I definitely would love him as a host again!! Thank you for the experience!!

Super fun time. Our Game Master Emily was chill as hell. Escape room is really well done. Minor comment - the pacing was a bit quick with the tips. Excellent time though:)

Some great puzzles! Alex was our host and he was friendly and helpful! We were able to escape the room in about 30 minutes! Great date night event and they were able to squeeze us in! I was not a big fan of the room we chose Descent into Darkness because it was too dark for my taste (a lot of occult and dark magic components), but I would definitely go back to do one of their other rooms. The puzzles are really well put together and they had a compelling storyline.

Our Dental office had a great time at Escape Reality and our game master Chase was wonderful. He was very informative and fun and only gave us clues to help guide us without ever giving anything away. Our team of 7 were all new to escape rooms so we did "Clue-Dunnit" which is a great room for beginners. We escaped with 2:50 on the clock so it took us almost the full hour but we had an absolute blast and will definitely do another room in the future!
