Two friends and I really enjoy escape rooms and found The Ocala Escape during our recent vacation to Florida. We had a great first impression as the manager kindly allowed the three of us to book the normally four-person minimum room Rigley's Manor in addition to Wolf Creek Mine. The guide (Bryce) was friendly and made everything even more fun than it already was. Both rooms were a blast, very different from each other, fairly challenging, and displayed great creativity. You can tell that the rooms are designed and built by individuals (as opposed to a chain) in the best possible way. We had so much fun that we booked the third room (Cabin in the Woods) despite our general aversion to creepy/scary escape rooms. It was my least favorite of the 3, but was still a great time and we had zero regrets about doing any of them. We hope to visit again next year if new rooms are available!

We loving doing escape rooms, but The Ocala Escape is hands down our favorite. Each room is designed perfectly in that it is able to tell a story and entertain everyone. The staff is amazing and ensures that everyone has the best experience. We highly recommend! We can’t wait to go back!

The best escape room we've done in months. Mr Elegoo's Enchanted Emporium has excellent game progression, impressive build out, and interesting puzzles. It's on the easier side for experienced players, but still super duper fun for any level player!! Jasper was an awesome game master, up beat, and right on point giving hints without taking away the mystery of the puzzle. Thanks!

Well where to start? How's about with the game master Abigail! As soon as my team walked in she was there to greet us and hype us up for the room. She did an awesome job explaining everything and getting us into the game. She was also kind enough to allow me to take an extra prop through the entirety of the game! Overall awesome experience and we will be back for the other rooms to keep our undefeated spree going!

Most of our group had been to an escape room before, so we knew what to expect. I have to say that we needed help along the way, but made it through in time. It was fun and challenging. When we got out to take our picture, the manager began scolding us, in front of another party that was coming in. We were shocked by his immature rant and thought he was joking. We found he was not. We left there with very bad feelings for his unprofessional actions and can say for all that we will never be back.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are in the business of "fun" and it sounds like we failed. We want everyone to walk away with the memory of a great and fun experience.
I'm extremely disappointed this happened and would like to make things right.

Once again, I'm very sorry for this experience and look forward to making things right.
Kind regards,

Their rooms are top notch and very complex. Lots of twist and turns in the story line and fun surprises around every puzzle. Wolf Creek Mine is a lot harder then they claim and Rigley's Manor is worth the effort to reach the finale. The hints are bottomless and the staff fun and friendly.

I did the Cabin in the Woods with a hubby, two senior friends and a teen grandson. We had so much fun doing this. We have done other escape rooms but this was quite difficult. Nicky was a great host. We escaped in the “Nicky” of time but I think we were given a few more minutes since we were so close. Anyway, we call ourselves winners. Thanks Nicky for a great time.

Dungeon master Nikki was an excellent guide to our room. She welcomed us with a smile and helped us along our adventure. The room was amazing (The Enchanted Emporium) and we had such a wonderful time. Hands down the most magic room I've been to! Thank you Nikki!

We have visited the Ocala escape room several times and they never disappoint. Their rooms are always fun and the clues are challenging. We have been to many escape rooms in other locations and they definitely rank up there with the best.

I have went three times. Did Cabin in the Woods first, then Rigley's Manor and just went today and did Wolf Creek Mine. All three were fun and interesting. A good mix of puzzles. They aren't too difficult. They do offer unlimited clues but I think we only used one Or two clues per room. GameMasters are very friendly and upbeat. I highly recommend trying it out.

If I sign up for four and we have a couple friends show up that night, can we add them at the door?

Hey Christy,
Michelle is absolutely right! As long as the minimum number for that room is reserved, and paid for, other participants can be paid for upon arrival. Just keep in mind the maximum occupancy for the scenario you are reserving.
Please let us know if we can assist further. We look forward to having you out!!
