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.

The most immersive escape room Utah has to offer! You and your friends can choose from a variety of exciting missions: pull off a heist, shut down a nuclear reactor, explore an Egyptian tomb, or find a zombie antidote! Getout Games are challenging, but not impossible. It's the escape room Utah families, friends, and businesses love!

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.

So you’re serious about taking your game to the next level? Golf Anytime gives you access to the same exact “Full Swing Golf Simulators” that Tiger Woods, Jordan Spieth, and Hunter Mahan use to fine-tune their own swings. Stop wasting time and money hitting buckets of balls into the empty abyss at the driving range. Without proper monitoring, and feedback, you can only rely on your gut. Our accurate “launch monitors” show you what’s really going on with your swing. Keep a detailed history of each and every shot, right along with the key “swing metrics” you need to start making a real difference in your game. When you’re ready to put your swing to the test, choose between any of our 68 virtual courses. Including Pebble Beach, Torrey Pines, and St. Andrews! If you’re ready to “up” your game, give us a call and we’ll get you plugged-in, without destroying your wallet. Golf Anytime. Where it pays to play.
