We visited five rooms in the greater DC area this weekend, and Death By Chocolate edged out the competition as our favorite. We were pleased to find a good amount of tech in the room that flowed logically, adhered to the story, and avoided the use of combination locks. There was a great variety of well thought out puzzles which shifted back and forth from linear to non-linear, allowing all five of us to remain gainfully employed throughout the experience. All COVID protocols were adhered to both by staff and customers.
We had a blast at Bond’s Escape Room and can’t wait to explore the rest of their rooms!

Thank you so much for the glowing review! We're thrilled to hear Death by Chocolate stands out as your favorite room in the DMV! Our team worked hard to build puzzles that challenged the traditional lock and key approach while still fitting the theme, and we'll be sure to let them know how much customers are enjoying it!
Safety is our top priority in getting through this unprecedented time in the world. We are making sure to adhere to the guidelines given to us by the state for the well-being of everyone that passes through our doors. Thank you for understanding and appreciating this.
Thank you again for such a positive review! We eagerly await your return!

Me and some friends came to this location because one of our party members had her bachelorette party here and she highly recommended it. Now I know why! We had a great time sleuthing our way to victory in the two rooms that we did. The next time I visit my friends in the area, I will (gently) demand that we return to do another experience!

We got a group together of friends of friends and tried this out. It was a great time! We all thoroughly enjoyed the Sleepover Slaughter house and our host. When getting hints from the host, he had alot of fun with it and was in character which made it fun.

Easy to find location and super clean and friendly staff and entrance to the building! That’s a great start I believe the games master was called molly who was friendly!
We took part in The Sleepover room.
It’s okay, very tired looking and a lot of broken things in terms of the props needed were cracked on the bottoms or peeling in places. I guess it adds to the horror aspect but at the same time it just makes the room look tacky.
We had no clue to get us started however I will say we needed about 2 clues in the room overall and it was all killed at the end with “Extra Time” and the puzzles not actually working properly unless being placed within half a miellemeter of where they should go.
Even if we’d got to the end (we were 1 puzzle off) we’d never have finished it in time.
There’s a distinct lack of correlation between one particular puzzle in the room and the entire experience. it’s too out of the box thinking and it doesn’t work in the room. ok in fact you could just take it out completely.
I’d recommend going here and we want to try other escape rooms.
The difficulty rating is :4* based on two people playing. The theme is also a 4* it doesn’t quite flow or make sense.
Go here… see for yourself!

Thank you for leaving us such a detailed review. We are constantly trying to improve our games, and are glad that you found Molly to be friendly.
Unfortunately, due to the technology we implement in some of our games, some of the puzzles do require exact placement. It is a common misconception that we control every individual puzzle from our control room - we don't. As far as the props go, we were working on replacing some of the more dated and damaged props you referenced, but since everything is custom it does take some time.
We hope you do choose to try another escape room with us and we hope that experience will be a better one. Please let us know if you have any additional feedback, and we'd be glad to assist you.

We've done dozens of Escape Rooms in the NoVa area, and really like Bond's Escape Room. We recently did their "Enchanted Castle" room, which as you might expect, finds you in a castle throne room trying to solve puzzles and break the curse in under an hour. I thought the puzzles were so well-done and varied, while completely fitting the theme (i.e., not a combination lock to be found!). The special effects, sounds, and visual were all really well done as well to give you the feeling of a medieval setting. Finally, our game master was great, super funny and helpful. Really great experience!

The rooms are safe, private, and always mind bending and creative. The haunted rooms are scary adding a level of excitement uncommon in escape rooms. The non-haunted rooms are also absolutely well-detailed and engaging.

Went to Bond's escape room this evening with my family of four for my daughter's birthday. It was a blast, and Nora, our hostess was great. We did the "Death by Chocolate" puzzle and it was quite challenging, kept us busy for the full hour, and we made it out by the skin of our teeth. Everyone agreed it was an hour well spent and we had fun "Bond-ing" and working together as a team.

This was our first time to visit an escape room and we really didn’t know what to expect. It was a lot of fun. There were 8 of us (two were young children) and everyone had a good time. The questions/ puzzles were just hard enough to cause us to pause but not so hard as to stump us. A good time was had by all.

This was my first escape room. We tried the haunted one and it was super hard to complete in an hour but also really fun. Sam was really helpful and patient with us even though we were running behind. He let us compete all the rooms, solve the puzzles, and take some photos.

Bond's escape room provided some mind challenging activities that were fun to solve. The preteens in our group were able to solve some of the puzzles. Definitely worth the trip! The clip that was used to set the scene was very amusing.
