This was our first time doing an Escape Room and highly recommend going to Captured LV Escape Room and do the Soul Collecter. Our guide was awesome and he explained everything we needed to know without giving anything away. I’m sure he must have a fun job watching the customers try to escape. We didn’t escape but we were very happy to be able to get 70% of the way and super excited to get into the second room. It’s a great activity to practice communication skills, organization skills and team work. I recommend no more than 5 people in this room and have a leader to gather all the clues. I hope you give it a try!

We had such a wonderful time in the Murder of 89 escape room. I went with someone who never did an escape room before. The instructions indicated that two people could do this room.
If you plan to go, I highly recommend you Google 'escape room tips' or watch a video on YouTube that explains how an escape room works. I have done these before, but never this type of room. It was based more on theme and a whodunnit versus trying to escape the room itself.
If you love the 1980s, this room is your dream, as the details of the posters, music, cassette tapes and more brought back memories.
I have one major critique: The print used on some of the clues is so small that even a young person who doesn't wear glasses can't see them. We lost 20 minutes trying to read a very very tiny barely visible card with clues on it. I won't say anymore so I don't spoil anything. But if the moderators of the Captured LV escape room are watching, please do something about the "business card" print. It is not visible and we had a verrrrry hard time.
Other than that, this is a fun night out and I recommend doing it. If you want to try the other rooms there, you will definitely need more than 2 people. I'd love to see more 2-people escape rooms since some of us don't have a group.

This was my first experience ever in an escape room and I loved it! The person who greeted us when we arrived was friendly, professional & had us laughing while we waited for our turn. The 2nd person, who took us to our room, was equally friendly & professional. Once in the rooms (we started in separate adjoining rooms), we had a fantastic time trying to solve the puzzles. They were hard but not difficult. I would recommend Capture LV Escape Room to anyone! The only thing I might suggest is going in small groups. We went with the max of 8 people & it got a little crowded at times but still a blast!!

We just completed a road trip that included five different escape rooms at five different locations. We chose the "Mayan Temple" at this location, and this was one of our favorites (other than a key that got stuck during the game). Unlike many other escape rooms we've played, this one didn't rely solely on padlocks, but more on puzzles in order to open clever boxes scattered through the room. We also liked the fact that puzzles in this room didn't need to be solved sequentially. A couple of people can work on solving one puzzle while another couple of people can solve a different puzzle at the same time. This was a lot of fun for our family of 4, which included 2 teenagers.

There were six adults for a 45th birthday party. The challenges were fun and made you think and work as a team. The staff were great and very welcoming. All the puzzles operated as intended, no broken equipment is always a good sign of a well maintained facility. We had a great time and would go again.

What a fun why to spend an afternoon with your kids! Our two families with our older teen and adult children had a blast escaping from the haunted theater! Really had to put our thinking caps on didn’t “win” but the time spent together was worth it! Tip book a room that is made for your group size. I think this is a perfect way to spend an afternoon in downtown Bethlehem followed by dinner at a nearby restaurant on Main Street. Enjoy!

This was such a fun and unique experience! All 10 of us, ranging from 11-50+, were able to contribute to our success. The variety of puzzles made it fun and challenging. This is our second escape room at Captured, and I anticipate going back again. The staff is always very friendly and helpful too.

Excellent staff and excellent escape room!
Staff was very welcoming, friendly, and professional. Everything was running smoothly and we started right on time.
The room itself was very well designed and had large volume of puzzles. The puzzles had good variety and there was a good amount of parallel working to keep everyone busy and searching! Difficulty was challenging but fair.
We did the Alchemy room with 7 and escaped with a good chunk of time left. They said this room will become something new next year, and we will eagerly return!
Source: We are escapers with 20+ rooms under our belt.

Perfect way to end our isolation! We went on a short trip to the area and went to various escape rooms as a way to stay socially distanced but FINALLY reenter society in-person. The sanitization and Covid protocols were very well done and we felt safe, welcomed and had a blast. We ended up doing all the rooms and have no regrets! We were 2 for 4 so were 50% successful but had 100% fun! We all have a different favorite but they were all very well thought out and the hosts were all amazing. The manager (who has maybe the coolest job ever) was a delight to work with and we are so grateful she worked at getting this all set up for us.

Captured LV was very accommodating when booking online. I had questions and they responded promptly through email. The location is great in Downtown Bethlehem so there are things to do before and after your experience! We had the best time! There was five of us aged 74,48,15 and 9, so the experience is for all ages! There was something for everyone to participate. Their props and the ideas were so well thought out! I don’t know who puts that all together but I was really impressed with the concept and imagination that went into it! We will definitely be back! We did the Haunted Theater!

My son loves puzzles, riddles and figuring things out. He turns 10 this year. Do you think he could do this with a bunch of 10 yro friends or is it only for adults?

Hello! All of our rooms are designed for adults and are challenging for a group of all children. For the best experience with 10-year-olds, I would recommend a mix of adults and kids. Feel free to call us at 610-419-0449 and we can discuss the rooms and what would be the right fit.

Could a larger group do a room that is recommended for less people? Ie: 7-10 people do a room recommend for 2-5 or 4-6 if they wanted to?

Hello! The number of players is based on room size and the number of puzzles in the room to keep those players entertained for 60 minutes. For the best experience, we really try to keep to room sizes. In some situations, we will squeeze 1 extra player in. Hope this helps!
My husband and I want to do this. Since it's just the two of us, is there a minimum group limit?

There is no room minimum. The Pirate’s Chamber is designed for 2-5 players. However, if you are new to escape rooms, I would highly recommend booking in with other players. There are enough puzzles to keep five people busy in the Chamber.

What age is this escape room appropriate for? I have 9 year old twins who loved doing an escape room that was really challenging but labeled for kids... would this be appropriate for them?

Hello,
Thanks for reaching out. Both of our rooms are designed for adults. However, we have had many younger players join their parents and have a blast. I would recommend the Pirate's Chamber. The room is adventure themed. Players have to break into Captain Bruce Bowing's Chamber, steal his treasure and escape. The rooom is full of props and set to adventure themed music. Any other questions can be answered by calling 610-419-0449. Thanks,
Lori
