I've been here twice in the past year or so, and each time has been a pleasure. The staff is wonderful and the rooms have been quite enjoyable. I loved the 10 minute adventure as well as the interesting 60 minute rooms. I would definetly recommend and will come back myself.

Break Escape provided an excellent challenge an a fantastic experience. Puzzles were challenging without being obtuse, and the atmosphere was exceptional. Staff were friendly and helpful. All told, we loved it so much we booked another room for two hours later! Go to break escape and try a room.

We had a fun time with this escape room. The entry denied room was a good size for 4 people and gave a good challenge but wasnt impossible to solve.
