We had a lot of fun! We did the Quarantine and it was just challenging enough to keep it interesting, yet not overwhelmingly difficult. The staff were friendly and we got good hints and a clue when needed.

I highly recommend Escape Room Madness! It was really fun and I enjoyed my time! :) Definitely go with a group of friends :D I believe one of the game masters names is Raphael. He was really friendly and gave really useful hints. If you go, I suggest he be your game master.

Introduced to escape rooms for the first time through a friend and my very first room was at Escape Room Madness. That was a month ago... and Ive been back TWICE! Officially addicted. Super fun, the themes are great, and the puzzles are NOT for dummies. Bring a group of fun, smart, and resourceful friends and have a blast! The staff is super friendly and accommodating as well. Heres a photo from our most recent visit for my roommates birthday. Def recommend.

We had such a good time here!!! This was our first escape room and escape
Room madness helped us to have a great time! We did the nuclear annihilation room with a group of four people. We got stuck a few times and the staff posted helpful clues to keep us moving on. The room was put together really well and it was really exciting to finish the room! Well definitely be going back again soon!!

We got there around 10pm. The receptionist was really polite and pleasant. She explained the escape rooms available and for how many people they were designed for. She told us the prices and we chose the apocalyptic mission. For this room the escape time was 1 hour, she gave us instructions and we were locked. It took like 5 minutes to even figure out the starting point. She gave us about 4 clues and we escaped with 3 minutes left. It's so much fun trying to figure out all the puzzles and great was to learn team work because it's hard to to it all. I definitely recommend this adventure. It cost
