My husband and our friends had the best time! Christian was a great game master his clues were helpful and he did a perfect job explaining the room. We did the 90 minute Wyvern Mining Room and the set decoration and room design are completely worth the price of admission. I know the room says you can have up to 8 people, we did it with 4 and we didn't feel overwhelmed.

The room itself was amazing. electronic components, problem solving components, and lasers. It was great to be in an escape room that you were kind of the bad guy, had to be quiet in certain rooms, and really felt like a complete challenge. Unfortunately we got put in a room with a group of people that all knew each other and they really excluded me and my son from getting to experience much. One of them was even so aggressive to grab something my son discovered out of his hands. Moral of the story, try to have a group big enough to have the room to yourself. I won't blame the facility for that since they can't control that.
The staff were all very friendly even though it was a busy weekend and you could tell that they were tired.
Overall they really provided a great room that was fun even if an overly aggressive other person did what they could to ruin it.

Had a great time exploring their 90 minute room. Nina was an awesome host who "clued" us in a timely manner while letting us work through most the escape by ourselves. This was our 6th time at this location and they've all been wonderful!

We went to play Contagion. There was confusion over having someone start in the locked room which in hindsight might have improved our game. We were also instructed not to use the microscope and centrifuge until prompted. We had the slides for the microscope out for at least 5 minutes before we were told we could use the microscope, huge waste of time. Puzzles were a little repetitive. We failed but there was a lot of waiting with our GM not noticing we had the slides out for the microscope which wasted a lot of time. Our GM was Oona. Production value was good but a lot of confusion and repetitive puzzles.

Our game master RJ was an absolute delight! He definitely set the mood perfectly for the Art Heist Escape room. He was helpful and funny and I would absolutely recommend him and the Art Heist. I would say the price is worth the experience.

Great time for our first escape room. We did the Art Gallery room, and had a blast! I was surprised it took us the time it did, but it was a blast. The guide who helped us, Dylan was kind and enthusiastic, would definitely recommend he keep it up, as to not deprive anyone of their fun in the future!

Had an awesome afternoon with our group in the Contagion room! It was the perfect level of difficulty with our group of mostly experienced escape room artists and 2 newbies. You definitely need to be a little savvy with combination locks, but our guide Dylan was very helpful when we asked for clues and even threw in a little comedic relief. We escaped with 2 1/2 mins left and definitely will be back to try more rooms!

Even though we were close to get the Mona Lisa but ran out time, we had a blast. Got our brains going with the anticipation of finding the next clue while looking at the clock. Steve O was the definition of great customer service, he was very informative and a great host.

We had a lot of fun in the Space 2112 room! Jenna did a great job as our guide. The room itself is extremely well done - nice high-quality props and screens, interesting puzzles. It really gives you a feel of a space station (gravity and oxygen included!). We've been to all other rooms in this center, and I think it's our #2 favorite room (after the Dark Wyvern mining).

Art Heist was a fun premise and it felt like we were engaged in hijinks at the museum. Rylee did a great job keeping us moving through the puzzles. Owners did a great job making it a fun experience right from check-in, hanging out with a drink and then heading to our escape room. Wonderful way to start off GenCon!

What parking is available? Street, garage? And do they verify parking?

Parking for the downtown location is available on the street, and nearby lots and garages within short walks. They go not verify parking. We paid $5 parking in a lot right next to the location. on our most recent visit. It was for all day so we were able to walk around downtown and not worry about extra parking charges.

The max they allowed for our room was 10. We had 7 that were supposed to come, but ended up with 5. We solved our room. It just depends on how much you're willing to work with everyone, how fast you're able to find the clues, and complete the puzzles.
I have a total of 8 in our family group that I would love to surprise with this event! Can I purchase tickets now and then use them when we can all get our schedules to match or should I wait until our schedules match to purchase event tickets?

You can buy gift certificates usable any time.
So if there was just 4 of us in our group would more join us or would we get the room to ourselves?

My husband and I did it by ourselves and had seconds to spare! Our room advisor was amazing too.
We went to the KGB room on Sunday the 27th at 3:30 and I'd like to write a good review about our hosts but can't remember their names, think it might have been Ethan and Jake maybe, can anyone help?

Yes Ethan and Jake are both staff members

Are there "starting times" for the rooms? i.e. 12pm - 2pm, or 4pm to 6pm. ?
Do you pick up & drop off at nearby hotels?
How do we dress for the event

Yes, you have to schedule a start time in advance - most of them are hourly, with a ten minute grace period in case you end up running late. Wear something casual that you can move around easily in. The activity isn't strenuous, but there is some reaching, crouching, and other mild movement in order to find clues. The Escape Room does not offer transportation, but check with your hotel. If you are downtown Indianapolis, everything is very walkable. There are also many parking garages in the immediate area.
What is the age requirements?
escaperoomindy
Indianapolis, IN10 contributions
We recommend an age of at least 10 years old. People have done with kids as young as 8 and they have had a good time. Ultimately. You make the call on whether they can understand it and not keep someone else from having fun!
