- Caleb B5 contributionsStaff was amazing and helpful. Rooms were fun and excitingHad an absolutely phenomenal time here. All their rooms are amazing and some of the most fun I have had in an escape room. The staff are above and beyond skilled and enjoyable. They make the experience truly memorable. Cierra and Rebeca specifically are unbelievably good at their jobs and give it their all in every aspect. It would not have been nearly as enjoyable without them as hosts.Visited January 2024Traveled with friendsWritten January 19, 2024
- Paula P35 contributionsFamily FunSecond time at this location. As a family, we have done about a dozen escape rooms. This one was great last year. When we completed the Bros for Life room. This year, the Neighborhood Watch was by far our favorite room ever! The added feature of an actor plus multiple rooms really enhanced the experience. Really wonderful staff!Visited April 2024Traveled with familyWritten April 9, 2024
- Mom28Orlando, Florida10 contributionsAwesome experience!My teenage son and his four friends did Operation Arctic Storm. They had a great time!

- amanda PLondon, United Kingdom247 contributionsGreat RoomsVisited whilst on holiday from the UK as we had heard good things. Completed the Artic room and the christmas room . Artic room great loads to do interesting puzzles really enjoyed it. Christmas room we did enjoy it but felt it was a little easy for us , but I have to add we have completed nearly 200 rooms. Staff were good and would recommend a visit . Will return next year to try some of the other rooms.Visited August 2024Traveled with familyWritten August 23, 2024

Whether you're a local or visiting the Orlando area, you definitely have to "venture" out to The Escape Ventures. After playing 45+ rooms around the nation, I thought I had my favorite room picked out.....but then I played their room, Bros For Life Fraternity Heist, and that quickly changed. The room is stunning from the moment you walk through the door. Every detail inside the room was immaculate - even down to the texture on the bricks. The owners are SO sweet and truly care about their craft and make their passion evident inside their rooms. Whether you're new to escape rooms or an escape room enthusiast, a trip to the Escape Ventures should be at the top of your list!

Such a great time!! I did the Granny's Christmas Crusade which was a fun storyline! The puzzles all made sense and gave my group a very fun challenge. The scene of the room was very well thought out and it was such an immersive experience. I can't wait to do some more rooms!!

This is my #1496-1499 escape rooms experiences !
5/5 Star : MUST-PLAY
This is the first venue on my Florida Escape Room tour. I soloed the four rooms and manage to get out of all of them, which shows that the rooms at the location is solvable, however, I need to pay for 2 tickets for each rooms thou, which is a policy that I’m not fond of.
Bros For life : First room I’ve done at this venue and this game is the best out of all the rooms not only because the amount of puzzles but also because the creativeness as well as effort put in building this escape room. The very first puzzle is a perfect starting point! The overall decor looks just like a college campus. There are many “wow” moments in this room.
Neighborhood watcher: This room is a thriller room with an actor in it. The puzzles in this room requires more visual instead of logical thinking. The puzzles are mid, nothing really creative in this room, however, the transition between environments is smooth. I do have to point out that , due to the malfunctioning of a device, I walked directly into the second room as soon as I started the game, which definitely takes a lil immersion away from the experience.
Outage: No vacancy : This is my least favorite room at the escape venture. The room is designed for smaller parties. The feature of the room is “ pitch dark” environment. However, towards the second half of the game, the environment is not pitch dark with a semi flashing light. The room requires player to use mainly “touch” to solve the puzzle, which is honestly, not unheard of. The room is boring in a sense that it did not incorporate more elements into the dark environment such as using nose to smell or even use ears to hear the sound in order to know where to go and what to do (use sound to direct players)
Granny’s blackmail: This is my second favorite game at the escape ventures. This game is perfect for family gatherings. The puzzles are simple, however, there are a lot of puzzles. The plate puzzle and the plant puzzle are creative and fun.
Although there are minor issues with the games, the venue is still one of the shining stars in Orlando Florida

I have been to over 40 escape rooms. This one is in my top three for sure. The owner has put his heart and soul into the rooms and you can surely tell. There is such attention to detail. I loved the clear-cut instructions before starting the room and having plenty of time after the game to discuss how we played. I love the non-obtrusive way they give clues. You could take them or leave them. I don’t like escape rooms where too many clues are given. Also, there was a logical way to Problem solve at each point. None of the puzzles were ridiculously nebulous as I have seen in the past. I can’t wait to go back and do his other rooms. And what a great Covid activity! Very few places offer all their rooms as private even when there’s only two people in the group.

The Escape Ventures was one of the best escape rooms I’ve ever been to! Last night I played with 5 of my co-workers. We all work at an escape room so we were really seeking some fun new rooms to try. We played Fraternity Heist and Granny and we were blown away! From the tricks to the scenic design and everything in between, CJ and Derek hit the nail on the head with the entertainment factor. I definitely recommend this escape room to anyone who wants to immerse themselves into an experience they’ll never forget. Thank you CJ and Derek for making it all possible for us! You guys are the best! ❤️

OMG ... these rooms were SO MUCH FUN! We ended up doing all three rooms one right after another. Lauren and Johnny were the most excellent hosts/game masters and really got into their roles as they introduced the rooms to us! Each of the rooms was very unique and we could tell that a lot of thought went into the design of each room! I'd highly recommend this site if you love escape rooms that are unique! Loved them all!

My friends and I did their granny fanny christmas crusade room and I LOVED it! It was so much fun, and extremely well done. It pushed my group and I to think constantly and we had a blast working together. Curtis and Derek were the friendliest game hosts I have ever had and made us feel so welcomed. I can not wait to be back and try out the other rooms. SO glad I went!!

Wow! I’m floored by this place. I’ve played over 340 escape rooms which means it’s hard to find those games that blow me away and leave me astounded. MUCH less to find three game’s at the same location that can do that.
Bro’s For Life was such a fun, amazing adventure. It is a one of a kind experience with unique puzzles.
Satirical Miracle - Granny’s Blackmail- So flipping cute and fun!! Such a unique and exciting experience.
Outage - I’ve played three prior “dark” rooms. And they were not for me. They just didn’t get my motor running. I had no interest in playing Outage at first because that type of room was never my cup of tea. After about 10 other people gushed about this room, we decided to add it on last minute. IT WAS EVERYTHING a “dark” escape room should be. It was so fun and perfectly executed.
I can’t tell you how excited I am for this business to come out with more games. This place was awesome.
Also, Char was our GM during the two different days we were there and for all three of our games. She made the experience great. She was friendly and fun, and added to what are already three amazing escape rooms.
Don’t miss this place, and if you come, book ALL the games. Don’t miss out like we “almost” did.

Bros for Life Fraternity Heist was my first escape room experience, and I must say that The Escape Ventures really set the bar extremely high for escape rooms. It was fully immersive, thanks to the gorgeous scenic design, and very entertaining! I found myself truly living in the moment with my friends while trying to solve the puzzles and riddles to escape. I loved the various levels of difficulty of the different puzzles and how it brought out the teamwork of the group. I had a blast at The Escape Ventures! We even got wristbands upon completion of the room! It’s a must do if you’re in the Orlando area!

Was able to play The Escape Ventures newest game Outage last night and unsurprisingly it was fantastic. The Escape Ventures Orlando keeps adding to their already stellar line up and it is impossible to pick a favorite. If you’ve already done one or both of the other games at the venue Outage continues the high standard of creative puzzles and immersion. If you haven’t made it out to the venue it is well worth the trip. Looking forward to future rooms from the team at Escape Ventures. Good Luck and have fun!
