The Escape OKC

Fun option for a group or date night. Played Conquered Embassy; very cool concept! Almost escaped! Parking is limited so would suggest carpooling.

Took the family and they had a blast!! Can't believe we escaped. Did the pirate themed room and was so much fun. First time for part of our family, we were all pumped after completing it. Good quality and great staff.

We had been wanting to do an escape room lately, my husband & I like to work together on those types of puzzles and games. I saw this escape room business on Yelp as pretty well recommended. I checked out their website, which was very helpful in describing their rooms and difficulty levels. I booked their pirate themed escape room, Tides of Treason, just the two of us for $55. It was all over their website to show up early. They also emailed me their online waivers ahead of time. I appreciated that very much. We arrived early, and their website made it clear that parking was limited, and that was very much is true. There's maybe 10 or so parking spots, so definitely carpool. We were also instructed to call ahead before walking in to help with crowds and prevent sickness but they seemed pretty chill when we called & entered. We were greeted tonight by a woman named Mandy. She just asked us if we signed the waivers, if we needed to go to the restroom, and that we could start our game early. That was nice to not have to wait around. We entered our room and it seemed small at first. Mandy told us that the room was rather finicky and touchy so to not tear things apart and to understand things might not always work the first time. That left a somewhat bad first impression on us because I expected a pretty professionally done escape room. I guess that's just what happens over time? We watched 2 videos, one about game safety and another about the game's specific story telling and how to escape. They use this branded tape around the rooms to clearly mark what's off limits and not to be tampered with. I appreciated that communication. Our game was pretty fun. It was mostly puzzles with a little story telling. We only asked for one hint, and the guy who provided it knew exactly what we needed, it was a really easy puzzle part to miss because it blended in and low lighting. That's the best way I can describe it without giving away gameplay. When it came up on time the game host let us finish because we were 2 steps away from finishing and exiting the room, and we might have been the last group of the night, so it was really nice of them to let us complete the puzzle instead of rushing us out. My completionist side really appreciated that courtesy. Overall I wasn't incredibly impressed with our experience but it was still a fun bonding date. They took our picture on my personal device and not on their devices for marketing material like some places do. We might let the rooms cycle through again before we try another one. Thanks for a fun date night!

We had a blast doing the Murder Mystery Dinner themed room. It was just two of us with the room to ourselves, and we were just two steps away from making our escape. Close, but no cigar. Some of the clues were actually pretty tough, and some were super obvious. It would be a great room for a family with kids of multiple ages. Everyone can help!

Very fun rom we tried, it was the German one I think. Pretty difficult but really interesting set up. The staff here are very friendly and helpful, you get hints and videos for background stories and rules. I recommend coming here if you enjoy escape rooms, good for team building

This Escape Room was fun, but slacked in many areas. They are limited on space so the actual "room" really doesn't adventure far, where as other companies your "room" could be as many has 3-5 separate rooms you have to explore to escape. They were a bit choppy on instructions and presentation. The door you entered is the door you leave. (Kinda lame )(We did not need a hint, but I asked for the review.) If you want to be provided a hint, they do not have walkie talkies so they break the game by entering the room. That really takes away from the experience. Huge negative They do not provide lockers for your belongings. You have to carry them with you.The atmosphere was pretty clammy, no airflow. The room also had a strange smell.The room we completed was the family murder mystery. It was very, very easy. I would recommend for a first timer. I wouldn't recommend for experienced players. It wasn't very adventurous. Overall the ladies were nice and had great customer service. However, we wouldn't return based off their limitations.

I have been to The Escape twice and each time was incredibly fun!The first time I went it was just my friend and I on a Thursday night. We did the Hors D'oeuvres and Obituaries room and it was so great. The atmosphere was spot on, and the ticking clock was definitely a great motivator to solve the mystery! There were some tricky parts, but we used 2 of our clues to get some help. In the end, we finished with 4 minutes to spare! It was such a rush and a thrill!The second time I went was with a group of four. We did the room Area 405 and found it to be very fun and challenging. I'm not sure if this room was easier because we had a larger group, but it was not as challenging as the Hors D'oeuvres and Obituaries room. We finished with about 15 minutes left on the clock.All in all, I absolutely love The Escape and can't wait to go back and solve their other rooms! Also, I love the fact that no matter what, you get the entire room to yourself. They never stick you with strangers. Thumbs way up!

As much as I love to keep up with the newest phones, tablets, computers (basically all tech), I also love to get away from that and just hang out with friends playing board games or doing Escape type things. Now that there are so many of these types of places popping up, the OG locations like Escape OKC are beginning to stand out based on the much larger amount of reviews.It's hard to review a place like this as you don't want to spoil things, but I'll do the best I can. I'm not sure what difficulty our room was, but it was the Mad Scientist room. It consists of a pretty basic story line that you'd expect from an Escape room with an ominous narrator reminding you of your impending doom and remaining time.Parts of the room seemed a little worn out but from what I remember, none of that messed with our experience. Our group consisted of 5 people (2 of us in our mid to late 20's, 1 who was about 18 or 19, and the last 2 being about 14 or 15 yo). Some basic-ish math skills were needed while the rest was just figuring out riddles/puzzles.You get 2 hints from what I remember. We used both and had face palm moments both times because the answer was literally right in front of us. We ended up finishing with about 10 minutes to spare and as exciting as it was, we all left with a, "Oh, that's it?" kind of reaction. They definitely need to work on the excitement factor of winning as all that happened when we unlocked the door was a green light and an Escape worker saying, "Congrats!" What did impress us was all the hidden features/mechanisms. Again, that's all I can say without spoiling things.We paid $24 per person and I personally think that's way too expensive for only 45 minutes (or less depending on how long you take). Love the idea behind Escape rooms, but can't say I'll be back with those prices unless I'm desperate for ways to entertain a group of friends.

We have been several times before, and it has always been a good experience. This time, however, came with a disappointing and frustrating ending even though we escaped. We could not seem to get a lock undone even though we had the right code. One worker tried and had to get her co-worker. She came in and easily opened it, pushing it a different way, and scoffed at us, saying, "User error" with no signs of playfulness. Making demeaning comments towards your guests seems unwise.

Very fun experience, highly recommend the staff was super sweet and very friendly the game we chose was fun and exciting would definitely come back again!
