Operation Escape

So. Much. Fun! DD, g'kids and I did the Gold Rush room, which is actually 3 rooms. We worked surprisingly well together at solving myriad puzzles. We were probably 2 minutes away from "escaping" and it's their toughest room.Sounds effects were fun although we got tired of the music on a loop. Some puzzles involved letters, some numbers, and several were simply thinking outside the box.It's $25 pp but there's a 20% discount with Yelp. We were confused - it says you get it by checking in. But when you're booking online, how to get it? So I called & they Said the coupon code is yelp20. It worked after DD refreshed her screen. As a note, I checked in when we arrived & I got the popup notice with the discount info.

We did "The Other SIde" which is themed off of "Stranger Things." Full disclaimer: I've never really watched "Stranger Things" but similar premise. They have a separate briefing room and then you are taken to the actual room.It's definitely an immersive room and the puzzles are very linear. So if you get stuck on clues you can really eat your time up so don't be stubborn or prideful and do yourself and team a favor and ask for a clue if it's more than 15 minutes. Haha It's a multi-room which I love! You step in and your transported to the 80's. Flashbacks of my childhood. The room has quality props. Just don't OVER THINK things. You better get Billy out or else you'll get trapped in the portal as well! Billy better leave some bread crumbs I mean a rock trail next time!! We escaped with 4 minutes and 37 seconds left. Whew! I'm not going to lie. We were stumped! Haha . I'm going to pat myself on the back because I solved ONE puzzle once we and when I say we I mean my friend, found part of the clue hahaha. It was a pleasure to meet William, the owner in person. I spoke to him over the phone and he was very friendly and kind. I will definitely be back to do Gold Rush since he said Once upon a time will be too easy for us. This is also close to another escape room I enjoy!! Be sure to check out Operation Escape! Ps definitely plenty of room to roll around on a knee scooter!

Best escape room I've been to. I visited with just my son, so it was only the two of us trying to escape the Gold Rush adventure. William, the manager, offered the perfect balance of letting us be challenged and providing clues when we were stuck. We ALMOST escaped, but that didn't matter because we had so much fun. Would definitely visit here again.

We had a lot of fun in "The Other Side". We weren't able to solve it, it was tough getting started out but started moving really fast once we got going and were one clue away. SO CLOSE! The staff was really great and the place was clean, we'll definitely stop by when we're in the area again.

Yes, we had a blast. It was our first time going as a family. We were on vacation. Wide age group so we choose a easy level. It was fun customer service was excellent. They were very accommodating and explained the whole process.

Everytime I visit Williamsburg, I make an effort to visit an escape room. I don't ever recall coming to this location so it was definitely a new experience. My family and I opted to do the room that similarly resembles "Stranger Things". If you have seen this show then you will understand what I mean. Without giving it away...there were some items that took wayyyy to long to complete....even if you knew right away what to do. Also I think one of the objects had a glitch as well. Overall we enjoyed ourselves and will go back to try a different room.

Gold rush was challenging but sooooo fun!! Highly recommended!! Love it and the owner William!! We are local and we will be back!!

There were items that seemed unnecessarily hard to find. Probably just for the sake of making the room harder.

It was just ok. Visually, the room was great. There were at least two different puzzles that didn't open when they were supposed to, though. Not a great experience.

This place is so fun I would highly recommend it's for one hour to escape and there is a lot of escape rooms to pick out of we get 2 or 3 hints and the guy was so nice he gave us extra cause we were stuck for it for at least 20 minutes and the escape room is not that small it is pretty cool if you never been to one
