We played in a big group of 9 and was able to escape this room with only a couple of nudges! I’ve done several of rooms in the past and this one was of those with medium to challenging puzzles, loved it!
Our game master, Sal, was very playful and explained the mechanics quite well. The rooms were nicely decorated with sufficient spacing. Lighting can improve a little bit but it may be what they were going for.
This escape room is located in a nice outdoor mall with lotsa things to do before and after. They do validate parking so don’t forget to get yours taken care of.
Pricing was pretty fair but I do wish that they would give some discount for a bigger party! :) I highly recommend this place!

This was my second time doing an escape room and it was still so much fun! The attention to detail at Mission Escape Games is exceptional! My entire group included 6 adults and 2 children. Half of our group had never been to an escape room before. We came here to celebrate my sister's birthday. The game masters brought a special birthday sign for her to hold for our pictures!
We did both the Bank Heist and End of Days back to back. The Bank Heist was the easier and more straightforward of the two games we played. We got stuck once and needed to get a hint to move forward, but with so many people in our group we had enough minds to be able to tackle different types of puzzles and move forward pretty quickly most of the time. There were a few loud sounds that startled the kids, but nothing terrible. It was a great beginner room for the newbies in the group. Of the two games, the kids liked this one the best.
Our second room was End of Days. This was a much more challenging game and I'm glad that we had the first room to warm us up. This room was bigger and had more components and a greater variety of puzzles that really challenged us. We were really scared we'd run out of time with this room. We did end up getting assistance 3 times in order to move forward because we were just stuck at some points. It was so cleverly designed. Again, the attention to detail was really amazing and really lead to an emmersive experience. I don't want to give away any details, but be prepared to be challenged.
Our game masters were Eric and Davis. They were so warm and welcoming and enthusiastic. You could tell that they really enjoyed their jobs. They provided us with lots of information to prepare us for our games and gave us great hints when we needed them.
Everything at Mission Escape Games was top notch, with exceptional quality and service. I cannot recommend them enough. I hope to do the horror room soon without the kids. 10+

Omg I highly recommend this place if your are looking for a fun activity to do with family and friends. My husband and I celebrated our son’s birthday (the big 13) by doing a bunch of fun things and this escape room was one of them. We brought two of his friends along and it was our first time doing this (all of us). Ian was our gaming assistant/escape artist. He was the best! He was so funny, so full of energy, so into the game that it enhanced our experience that much more. Then the room itself was a blast. We did the Darkest Hour room and it was awesome. We had so much fun and The boys certainly were happy. We will definitely be back to try the other rooms. I want to give a very special shout-out to Ian because he made the experience very animated. He helped to make my son’s birthday special and he even sang to him which blew my mind so honestly 5 stars is not enough this place is 10 star to me.

The bank heist was an exciting experience for the 6 of us. The orientation was quick and simple. The puzzles were intriguing, the hidden clues were crafty, and the lights and sounds created an ambiance of mystery without feeling too high-pressure. Our group featured 5 escape room first-timers (myself included), and we only needed 1 hint to finish with over 10 minutes to spare. Everyone in the group played a role in solving at least 1 of the many steps to escape. I would say the room size is more fitting for slightly smaller groups, but the decor created the appropriate bank atmosphere. I would recommend it for friends, and our team will definitely challenge other departments to try to beat our performance!

I loved our experience so much! Me and 4 of my friends were doing “Escape the darkest hour,” which was terrifying and fun at the same time! Our game master was super nice, and was happy to help us! The jumpscares were awesome, scaring my friends and I to bits. The rooms (3) were greatly decorated and covered with (fake) blood. There was one point where one of my friends had to go on a bed, and scream the killers name, and when my friend did, the bed started shaking. Did I mention we made it in 1 minute and 40 seconds left? I was so relieved, I just wanted to get out of that scary room. Mission Escape games employes were taking care of us. You guys are the best, and it was a great way to celebrate my friends birthday. I highly recomend!

Our group of five did the Bank Heist, and our host, Jay, had an amazing personality that the energy in the room was always high. The comments he made when our group were questioning ourselves were hilarious, and he definitely made sure that the first time escape room players were comfortable.
The puzzles were clean and operated as intended too. The Bank Heist had a lot of tasks to do, but the solving difficulty was appropriate with the hour time limit. The room was pretty dim though which made it hard to read. Overall this is a great trip to do with friends even though we don’t usually do puzzles.

Selected the Bank Heist and had a really good time. This was definitely a different type of night out. Loved the way you are challenged to really think it through in order to be able to solve the mission at hand. I would recommend this to anyone that is looking to have a good time with friends or even a team building event.

When we got there we were delayed due room needing repaired. In middle of game, pieces didn’t work and had to be fixed a couple times by attendee - interrupts the flow and you second guess the process afterwards. As difficult as they made it to even pay and add members, this was something they should have fixed days before our scheduled event (scheduled a month in advance) and not the morning we arrived. This visit felt cold from the start.

My mom and I played the "Darkest Hour" at Mission Escape Games. Of all the escape rooms we have done in the past from other companies, we both agreed this was our absolute favorite! First off, our game master, Julia, was phenomenal. The game itself was very hands-on, and the horror element added to the challenge of solving the puzzles. The room had a high-scale production value that made the experience even more thrilling. Against all odds, we survived... escaping the serial killer with 4:33 left on the clock. We highly recommend it!!!!

My boyfriend and I wanted to do something fun for a spontaneous date night and we ended up landing on this escape room and it did not disappoint!
The worker who gave us the introduction and was in the next room over watching us was so enthusiastic and fun it made the horror room such a great experience. Definitely recommended if you like a good scare.
We escaped with our lives but can you?

We will be in town with our 8 and 11 year old daughters. Which room would be best given their ages?

I would recommend the mystery room. Because just hearing the voices comming from the horror room made my little brother terrified and he is 10 years old.
