We had a blast at our very first attempt at an Escape Room! Scheduling our visit was super-easy, the owners are very responsive and helpful. We were able to book our own private experience (we have a 9 year old and a 7 month old) so that we wouldn’t be a distraction for other visitors, and I’m so glad we did! The staff offers clues if you request them. The puzzles were difficult but do-able. We highly recommend this place to anyone looking to try an Escape Room!!!

Great little escape room place, centrally located in cocoa beach. Our family had fun doing the jail break once actually in the room and our family successfully escaped the room. We encountered a rude attendant however, who was not thrilled to see us when we showed up and not thrilled to give us our clues or take our photo at the end. We knocked on the wall as instructed and she didn’t come so my son knocked again thinking she didn’t hear it and this is a timed event, she blurted out “ok I hearddd you guys!” with a rude and nasty attitude. Not happy to work there and not a people person, therefore should not really work with people and families on vacation that are just looking to have a good time and enjoy their experience which is costly to begin with. It cost us like $175 for 5 people to do the room. Not peanuts for an hour event. My advice would be to get better help!

Ugh it saddens me to hear this about this one bad seed, she really disappointed me and my husband for we had really high hopes for her. We have replaced her and sincerely apologize for your experience. Please give me a call so I can make it up to you. My husband and I will personally run your game for you and your guests.
Just ask for Autumn
Thank you

My wife and I went with our daughters who are 5 and 7. Emma was our escape room coordinator - she was very friendly and helped us feel immersed in the room with a great introduction. We liked it so much that we did 2 escapes in one day! Rocket Science and Jailbreak both had great features that are fun for younger kids to watch and help with. I recommend Escape Room Cocoa Beach to friends, couples and family's as a great activity that will make you work together and build fun memories!

My friend who booked the room left a one star review and then was harassed by the owner. She has responded to the review, privately messaged her, and called her multiple times. In her response she mentions that we asked for no clues. We asked that they not give us clues until we asked for them. When we called the screen rang and rang and rang for minutes and then would eventually shut off. We called three times prior to them actually answering. We had a broken “solution” in our room. Because of this we had to be escorted out while the owner went in and fixed it. This took at minimum 15 minutes of us attempting the broken solution and being assured we had it correct until he finally came in to fix it. Once fixed he informed us that the last group before us messed with the wires. So he knew it was broken and wasted our time. They gave us 10 minutes back. We called again for another clue and they spent about 5 minutes giving me some history lesson about Nazi Germany which was not the theme of our room. Finally the last clue was not working and one of the employees had to stand on the outside of the door to talk us through it as the door wouldn’t open open from his side. The room was unorganized, broken, off theme, and the staff while nice were unhelpful.

Thank you for telling us your unfortunate experience. However your account is different from what was actually going on. Nothing fortunately was broken, and not everyone listens to the intro's as closely as we recommend, hence the wires from the last group, and your recollection of a story about Nazi Germany (has everything to do with the room you were in) When somethings like this happens we put the time lost back on the clock so I'm sorry you feel that your time was wasted. All of our clues and props work, its how you use them that's apart of the game itself. Just like your experiences in life. Although I appreciate the kind words about my staff, I think you saying I harassed the person who booked the room, trying to reach them about their experience in order to learn more, in order to rectify any ill feelings anyone had. Instead I had to piece together the passive-aggressive reviews, n watch the cameras in order to make sure my staff and everything was dealt with properly.

Do yourself a favor and save your time and money! Girls in front were too involved in their cell phones to be paying attn to guests in the rooms asking for clues.. this was noted as we waiting in lobby. Then they pair you with other members without forewarning you. When calling the owner (who’s rude behavior clearly is the prime reason her staff behaves the way they do) she lied and said the website tells you they will pair you with others if you don’t pay for private, LIAR ! Have the screen shot of no such thing. The owner also denied we were still in middle of a pandemic.. why would I want to put my family with a group of 4 where one was coughing and sneezing and not wearing a mask. This establishment clearly doesn’t care about any precautions or clean environment. Stay away! You will thank me!
Oh and Mrs Rude Owner, Autumn.. we have been to hundreds of escape rooms for your information. Also take a tip and learn to keep your husband’s mouth shut when your customers call you. Pathetic

100's of Escape rooms without being paired with another group? Our website clearly states the difference between a private experience and group play. Our Escape Room Business Model, although is unique in many different ways as far as originality, is standard in the booking process. I'm sorry you felt that I was rude to you, it's not everyday I'm screamed at by a customer. I would say the middle of the Pandemic was late summer of 2021, I offered to book you privately but decided to handle things in a different way. I send you nothing but positive energy, it's a shame to live life in anger.

This was my first escape room visit and I loved every second of it. It was a great experience and something I would definitely do again. The gentleman that runs it was really friendly and great all the way around. If you're into stuff like that and looking to do an escape room I highly recommend this one. Someone do black dahlia and tell me how much fun it is

First escape room with family while on vacation. We're a bunch of doers and thought an escape room would be a fun way to spend an hour together. We were not disappointed in the activity despite a small setback in the room (we were asked to step out while the room was reset since we accidentally triggered a next step to no fault of our own). We were given back some time and recovered, which made the clues in the room that much more connected to the story. If you're thinking this is a murder mystery dinner type thing, you are in for a treat because it is sort of similar but much more open ended as no one has a clue to the story. Urge you and the cohort you are with to investigate everything and keep open communication even when deep into investigation.

The owner of the escape room got us all set up. She explained everything in great detail so that we all understood what to look for and what not to look for. We had children in our group and she was so welcoming to them and made sure we all had a great time. The escape room was challenging yet fun. We escaped with 3 minutes to spare. The facility was clean and the staff was amazing! We will for sure visit again the next time we are in cocoa beach.

This was our first visit to Escape Cocoa Beach. We have been to other escape rooms in the past.
I booked a room for 4 people. When we arrive (20 mins early as asked), we were told that our room was double booked and we needed to wait on 4 other people to arrive. We were never notified that our room was double booked, nor were we asked if we were ok with that, considering COVID-19. The staff at the front desk said "sorry, she's not supposed to do that, but she has been." I'm not sure who they were referencing. They did accommodate us when we asked if we could do a different room with just the 4 of us. I will give them credit for that. They were kind about it.
We got a very short description of the escape room. I have been to escape rooms that have a short video that you watch that explains the plot and the end goal. At Escape Cocoa Beach, a staff member just quickly gives a brief explanation and then leaves the room. They gave no explanation of the types of locks that we should expect to see and how to work them. The rooms are NOT enclosed. You can hear everything going on in the other rooms, people talking in the hallway, and music playing loudly. This was very distracting while attempting to listen to a radio sequence that was part of one of our clues. The timer in our room didn't work, so we never knew how much time we had left. We did notify the staff member and she responded "I have a timer set on my phone." That didn't help us since we couldn't see her phone timer. We could hardly hear the staff member when she spoke to us through a small iPAD on the wall. The music and noises from other escape rooms made it even harder to hear her. We finally made it to the end and had the correct code to unlock the door, but the lock wasn't working (staff member even admitted the code was correct and the door jammed).
Staff members were friendly, but a lot of improvements can be made.

Its a very arduous task trying to please everyone. The walls are like that bc of Fire Code. Its for your protection. You could have easily asked to turn the music down. When the music's on you shouldn't be able to hear anything anywhere in the facility, so either you have super sonic hearing or the music wasnt that loud. only one wall is lowered to your room, and by a foot at the most. Sometimes the batteries die in a timer and they should've changed them immediately when they knew but probably didn't want to interrupt your game. There is only one other Escape Room on that side of the building and that's jailbreak, impossible to hear when the music is as loud as you say it was. There are no Escape Rooms in the world that notifies you that there would be others booked with you. You have the option to make your room private when you booked it. Just because you have been to other escape rooms is more than likely the reason they didnt go over all the rules with you, being such an advanced and seasoned Escape Enthusiast like you mentioned when you arrived, there was no need to explain the same rules we would for a first time player. The Lock on that door works fine if you turn it the right way...
I am sorry for being not as sorry as you would like me to be, however its reviews like these that hurt small businesses for no reason. You could've called and spoke to my husband or I about your experience and come to some sort of happy medium, you could've asked to turn the radio down, you could've made the game master aware that such a small ipad wasn't going to be a good enough way for you to receive clues because you didn't watch a training video on it prior to the game.
Id rather give you your money back then have to respond to a review like this.

We wanted to do an Escape Room and booked this for a family of 4, and was able to get a reservation the day of, as the other places in Brevard were booked. We were placed with 3 other people who were super nice and fun to be with. After about 1 minute introductory speech on the room, we started, most of us kind of confused. We had to ask for clues about 10 times, and even though we had correct combination to the safe, it didn't open. This cost us about 15 minutes of time and a few times the attendant didn't respond to our knocks. The attendant let us know everyone has trouble with that safe (so maybe it's time to fix it). At the end the owner met with us and took our picture, and let us know they have made it through "f&*(king Covid" (in front of my kids). They went over a few of the clues we missed. I wasn't very impressed overall, but this was easy to get a reservation and my kids thought it was okay.

The Safe is difficult puzzle in itself and I assure you, there is nothing wrong with it at all, most open with ease however your not the only one who has had trouble with it. That's what makes it fun. If it were easy then we probably wouldn't have much of an escape room would we?
I appreciate the attempt at leaving a productive review, I actually remember now who you were and believe I went out of my way to make sure I met up with you. My husband thought very highly of your conversation and we wanted to personally say thank you. Your from Michigan I believe you and my husband had that in common. Im glad your kids had fun, and I most certainly thought your kids were very distracted when I said anything "adult" to you. I am sorry you were offended.
Thank you for your review

Do we have to be perfectly english speeker or reader to play the game ? I am french and would like to try but i am afraid the language can be an issue?

Hi,
'Jail Break' requires the ability to read English and so does 'Mystery of the Black Dahlia'. 'Rocket Science' and '2325 Tremont St.' are more forgiving in this area, but having said that, our rules briefings, back stories and clues, are given in English. We do have clue cards for 'Jail Break' in Spanish, but not French, I am afraid.
Thanks for asking!

You have 60 minutes to complete the challenge. The amount of time it takes to escape (if you escape) depends on several variables. If you haven't done an escape room and are considering it I highly recommend giving it a try.
