Escape U

We were looking for fun activities to do while we stayed in St Augustine and my friends mom suggested we do an escape room. I love doing escape rooms, so we found this rather charming place in the area.We signed up online and they have various different rooms. We tried the Sneaky Snake Lounge. This one was labeled as interactive so we were curious to what they meant by that.Without giving too much away, our game master actively participated in the escape room experience, and we can interact with said person throughout the room. Of course, the GM is who we ask for hints (which you do get marked down a half letter grade every time you ask I believe after 3). Sadly though, we ran out of time, but we were only two steps away from making our exit.Overall, this was a fun experience and I would love to come back and try out their other rooms.Overall, this was

We played the old jail & and it was so good! Calico was an excellent guide and was patient with us . This one does not disappoint! We escaped, but barely (1.5 minutes to spare)!

My daughters and I did the jail escape room 27 March and Adam was great, helping us just enough to avoid major problems. Next time we're in town we'll return!

Wow wow wow! What an hour of exercising your mind. The building is deceiving from the outside. I thought it would be something more theatrical and we would be a small part of the participants. Boy was I wrong. Its more of a exercise for the mind with a limited amount of time. First let me say the place is super clean and the staff is amazing. They go out of there way to make you feel welcomed and go above and beyond to make sure you totally understand the rules and your mission to unlock the puzzle. We went in with the opinion that we could easily solve a room under one hour. Ha ha ha, wrong it took us all of the 60 minutes. We did the St Augustine lighthouse and it was so much more then we had planed. Our guide was Hale who was amazing and patient with us. There were times that we keep missing some of clues, and she would have to redirect and repeat several times because we could not hear her over our bantering and laughing. All I can say without giving to much away. It's worth every penny. You find it fun and entertaining. We will be back to do the other rooms. Thanks again.

What an awesome experience to enjoy with your family. Located about two and a half miles from the downtown area in a strip mall with plenty of parking. I don't know that you could even do walk ins, I think it is a must that you reserve your spot ahead of time. There were several families in and out during her time there. You know all those coupon magazines you see throughout the city? There is a 15% off in that however, when we booked online it would not accept the code so that was disappointing as four people was quite expensive. All they're pricey very well worth the hour we were there. There are four different rooms to choose from, we chose the Fleet which was described as scary, exciting and middle of the line when it comes to difficulty. I have been to two other escape rooms. One in Texas that blew my mind and had me so excited to try again and another in Brandon Florida that was a total waste of money. If I never went to another one again fine. This one was definitely in line with my experience in Texas. It was pretty difficult and if my husband wasn't there with his crazy technical brain I may not have solved it but we all worked as a family. The one downfall is that we thought our family of four would be able to do the room alone however they put another family of four with us. It was fine but took a little bit away from the experience. I loved that there were multiple rooms flashing lights cool puzzles and props. I would absolutely return here and recommend you and your family give it a try too.

First off, I would like to say the staff is VERY friendly. I don't blame the staff for the experience that we had. However I feel it is important to be honest with our experience, as we felt we blew $30ish a person on a really disappointing experience. We did the Castillo De Matanzas room aka the "fort" themed room. As soon as we walked in, I was not thrilled about the flashing lantern hanging from the ceiling and the lack of lighting. I am not a fan of escape rooms that make you carry a tiny lantern to see everything. The clues honestly just didn't make sense. We had issues such as the blacklight not working properly (the staff was nice, added some time back and got us a new light). Some of the drawing symbols were smudged and could not be read properly. My husband noticed tons of dust in an area you have to complete a task in. There is no music playing or sound effects. We could hear the new groups watching their safety video since the tv is attached to the room we were in. This was seriously such a frustrating experience. Our game master was very nice and gave us tons of clues. But honestly that didn't even get us to the end, because the game was so disorganized. The lighting in all the rooms of this game are awful. Half the time you can't see what you need to do because it's so dark. One of the puzzles in one of the rooms was falling apart. One of the locks was left unlock from a previous game. The list of things that went wrong is pretty upsetting. We were hoping this escape room would be the highlight of our day, but it was a huge let down. I feel bad for the staff. They are so nice, positive, and supportive but the game needs some serious upgrades. In addition this room has items that are legit historical, so you have to be careful with them. I think a large group could maybe somehow get out of this room. But honestly for the price it doesn't seem worth it.

We had a great time. Just missed the time limit on their hardest room.

Had a great time here with the family last weekend on vacation. The prison room that we were in wasn't too difficult to where we started getting frustrated, but just tough enough to keep us interested. We got out with 10 minutes to spare!

Great experience! Andy was a wonderful worker and live actor for our escape room. Will be going back next time we're in the area! Very fun!

Super fun, great team building exercise!! Multiple rooms made this more exciting and added to the fun! And our game master Calico added to the theme of the room and was overall great!! :)
