Dang what an escape room! This escape room checked all the boxes and is well worth the $35/person asking price. We did the Sherlock one and wow so many Knick-knacks, twists and puzzles we made it out with 8 SECONDS to spare. The adrenaline rush was incredible when we were solving the last couple locks with 30 seconds to go. Truly an amazing experience that I’ll never forget.

WE HAD A BLAST! The whole experience was so much fun. The ambiance was perfect the room itself made you feel like you were actually in an Egyptian tomb, complete with yellow flickering (battery operated) hand held torches. Our guide (her name starts with a C I think, but I can't remember) was excellent! I will definitely be visiting again to try one of their other rooms.

This was a great activity with my teen daughters. The instruction was very helpful and the staff came back often to see how we were doing and gave some pointers to the kids so they could be more successful in their throws.

I've played a lot of escape games, and let me just say this one is my favorite. Escape games started as simply a puzzle, and have evolved. This business brings the escape game industry to another level, specializing in special effects to enhance gameplay and realistic sets. I asked about some of their props, and they had actual time period books used in the cluestream and an actual code machine (I don't know exactly what it was) but it was authentic from WWII period; these guys spared no expense to make the best escape games in Utah. I highly recommend them. And the gameplay is top notch too, they have some of the most creative puzzles I've ever seen. It was a blast, definitely a must do in SLC.
