- Anastasiya D2 contributionsBest escape room in Oslo - worth every penny!Have been to other escape rooms, but this is absolutely the best in Oslo! You understand it once you enter it: very spacious, minimatistic design, panorama windows and chilled music on the back. We have done "House of Evil" game. Interesting and different tasks in each room. Sounds and effects are like in reality. Every room has its topic and authentic things, which makes it interesting to solve! Great idea for team building and fun way to spend time with friends. Activity that unites. Another cool activity besides bars, clubs and table games. Leaves unforgettable emotions . Would reccomend it to everyone, who wants to spend quality time! Great experience . Will definitely repeat!Hi Anastasiya! Thank you so much for such a nice review! We are happy to hear that you rank us so high! :D Welcome back! :D Best, The Escape Games-teamWritten June 16, 2020This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC.Visited May 2020Written May 24, 2020
- Paul1 contributionSo refreshing!Loved the place! The interior was fancy and the rooms really made you feels as if you really were where the room was placed. We tried the train, and it was crazy how it made you feel as if you really were on a train and tried to stop it from falling over! The tasks were also different from other places we’ve visited, but in a good way! It made it so much more fun, and it was really refreshing. We got good help from game master Lilly in the room, who helped us whenever we were stuck. The employees were super nice and helpful, and it made the whole experience a 10/10. Will definitely come again! Recommend every escape room enthusiast visiting Oslo to try their gamesHi ! Thank you so much for taking time to write a review! We are happy to hear that you had a fun experience. So fun that Lilly was a good host! Hope you want to try more of our games!

We did the submarine room, which was pretty cool in itself. Decent variety of puzzles, most of which are easy to solve. A fair bit of misdirection too. The steering puzzle could've been better, it was very fiddly.
The experience was massively let down by the game hosts who were obviously not paying attention. We received a hint in the first room, 5 minutes after we found the piece they hinted about, so completely useless. And in the final room we were stuck for a good 15 minutes on one puzzle and were trying to solve the next one ( which wasn't active yet) because we didn't see a hidden screen. It took atleast 5 minutes after giving up and asking for a hint before it was received, at the end we were just standing there asking if anyone was watching... We had also booked the room in English and most of the audio played was in norwegian. Thankfully we solved the room, but it really soured the experience. When apparently everyone needs a hint on that puzzle you should atleast be watching so you can give it at the right time.

Hi Jeanette!
Thank you so much for taking time to write a review! We are very sorry the experience was disappointing, we always strive to meet your expectations. There were technical issues on the location this day, and it has therefore affected the service. The mistakes that was made have been looked into and we made sure it won’t happen again. Hope that refund you received compensated a bit for the disappointment. Thank you for letting us know so we can be better!
The room is for beginners so I’m sure one of the other rooms might be better for you guys if you want to visit us again - we hope you will!

Themed rooms with very dedicated employees and a high attention to detail. The room (Ice Kingdom) was challenging and fun, and we absolutely loved the decorations. Especially the temperature meter that turned out to be our timer was a wonderful idea! It was a bit unusual to open the doors before all mysteries in a given room had been solved, but after getting the hang of it it was very fun and definitely set it apart from other rooms and experiences.
We also loved Simen's witty explanations at the start, he was very funny and seemed absolutely delighted to guide us. He was also very great with the hints, giving us exactly what we needed and not being afraid to tell us we should search somewhere we had already cast aside for the last 10 minutes. tldr: super detailed, spot on hints, and he knew exactly when we were getting frustrated rather than just curious and trying out options.

We had the best time in the submarine espace room! The kids loved it (10 and 13 years old) and were able to contribute as much as the adults. It was challenging but doable, which is what we were looking for in an escape room game. The reason why I prefer this site over others in Oslo is because of how clean, well organized, and challenging their rooms are. Our host William was great and even allowed us to get started early as we arrived a bit in advance of our scheduled start time.

Me and my family went twice for an escape experience whilst on holiday. We had Anna as our host on the first day and it was absolutely fantastic! She gave us the perfect amount of hints and knew exactly when we did or didn’t need one and she was also extremely kind and had a friendly conversation with us afterwards.
We all knew that we just had to go again, and so instantly booked another Escape Room for the day after, again we had Anna which was amazing 🤩. Anna again knew perfectly when to help us and we were able to escape both times with a few minutes remaining. Anna is a wonderful host.
The escape rooms had multiple rooms which was great and there was something for each family member to do. None of the puzzles were too easy or too hard and I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is willing to go! The details of each room is incredible and I would definitely love to come back to Norway to try another room!

As relatively experienced escape room players from the Netherlands, we found 'The Escape Games' in Oslo to be a rewarding and engaging experience. We tackled two rooms back to back, the Wild West Express and The Godfather, completing both within time—one with about 14 minutes to spare and no hints, and the other with roughly 10 minutes left and a single hint.
Both rooms were meticulously crafted and on theme, providing immersive and fun challenges. Our hosts, Hannah E and Stine, were friendly and added to the positive experience.
However, a couple of minor things could enhance the experience further:
a. Avoiding the reuse of props between rooms, as it detracts from the uniqueness (e.g., the doll).
b. Ensuring that functional elements like the redial button actually work as they smooth gameplay.
Despite these minor points, we definitely recommend 'The Escape Games' if you're looking for an enjoyable escape room experience in Oslo. It's great for couples, enthusiasts, or anyone up for a challenge!

Being speed demons. The place had different kinds of puzzles and not many lock and key puzzles which is always a plus. All the mechanisms worked and were properly ccared for so the puzzles worked as they should. Thank you Mathea for a wonderful experience.

Second time here and always great service. The rooms are very thought through and is heavily decorated to fit the theme, so you really feel like you're in the story. The codes and tasks are creative and fun, without being generic. And again, great service! I've tried both the Wild west express and House of Evil - both did not let me down at all! Really great ❤ and again, great staff. Andrea was a great game master 🙌

We tried the ice Kingdom room, and it was awesome. The props are great, the difficulty is balanced, and none of those annoying coded lock puzzles.
The gamemaster, Mona, was right on top of our progress and gave us a nudge in the right direction just when we needed it. All in all, great time!

We had a dropin and tried the Steampunk room, it was challenging but our group finished it at breakneck, world record speed. I heard staff whisper that we might have had the best time for that room!
#1 gamemaster, Andrea made the whole experience great the moment we set foot inside ٩(。•́‿•̀。)۶ she did a great job explaining and got us really excited to solve the room!
5/7 A perfect score. Highly recommended and we'll definitely come back and give the rest of their rooms an attempt! (Probably beating every record)

Fantastic family challenge with our 2 teenagers (16&19). We have done quite a lot of escape rooms in UK and this was really good with great puzzles and something for everyone. Anna our host was brilliant at giving just the right amount of clues and was very welcoming. So much so that we went back for a second time and Anna hosted brilliantly again. Thank you we would definitely recommend.

Hey Sophie!
We did it just 2 people and made it out in time. I've done maybe 10 rooms before this one and my boyfriend 5, so we're not super experienced but still know how it works. So I guess it depends on you how much of a struggle it will be. :)
We did it in english and it was no problem!

Vi er to familier, med 5 voksne og 4 barn på 10, 13, 14 og 15 år. Er de for små til å være med? Vil de evnt få noe utbytte av å være med? Hva er anbefalt inndeling av grupper når vi er så mange? Hva er prisen?
The_Escape_Games
Oslo, Norway6 contributions
Hei. Tusen takk for interessen for våre spill :) De yngre barna kan absolutt være med, og kommer til å ha det kjempegøy! :) Vi anbefaler å velge spillet Viruskrig Z for deres selskap. Dere kan spille alle samlet, men det beste ville vært å dele på to grupper. Da kan dere ta Tsjernobyl-spillet i tillegg. Det bør være voksne og eldre barn på akkurat dette spillet, fordi den inneholder noen litt skumle elementer. Hvis dere spiller på ett lag blir prisen 315 kr per pers. Hvis dere deler på to lag, blir prisen 342 kr per pers. Vi har 20% rabatt for barn tom. 14 år neste uke (bortsett fra lørdager) og på utvalgte tidspunkter etter det (man-tirs tom. spillet kl.14.30 og etter kl.20.30, ons-tors tom. spillet kl.14.30 og hele søndag). Hjertelig velkommen til oss! :D

Nei, det kreves ikke fysisk styrke eller god balanse her. Du kan forøvrig ikke lide av klaustrofobi (selv om man jo ikke er innestengt på «ordentlig», men det kan kanskje føles sånn hvis man lett får klaus).

Hei :)
Ungdommer på 14 år må vanligvis spille med en voksen. Siden dere har flere som er 15 år, kan dere spille alene :) Skriv i kommentaren til bestillingen at dere fikk godkjent det.
Velkommen! :)
I want to know if there is a translation of the escape room game to spanish and how much it cost.
The_Escape_Games
Oslo, Norway6 contributions
There is translation in English but unfortunately not Spanish. The price depends on the number of players. For two people, it is 439 kr per person, for three people - 380 kr per person, for four people - 350 kr per person. You can see our complete price list on the website. Looking forward to welcoming you at our place :)
