For the past few years my wife, children, and I have spent a lot of time traveling around the country for work and pleasure. We often find ourselves in cities both large and small with the burning questions, "what should we do tonight". In many cases our default answer has been to check out a local escape room. Being that our home base is Vancouver, we have also visited NW Escape Experience a few times, and have always seen it as our gold standard when comparing other escape experiences. This however may be changing, We have done both the Kill Room (twice) and this last time we did the DB Cooper room. The puzzles have always been challenging, themes executed well with the game master often being one of the highlights of the rooms. This however seems to be changing, in both of my last two trips to NW Escape my group has gotten stumped on a puzzle that was not difficult to solve but rather broken, or in such disrepair that even though we were doing all of the right things to solve the puzzle we could not tell that we had it right because the expected outcomes were not happening. In both cases this has caused members of my group to get frustrated and need additional help from the host. Part of the joy for our group has always been to solve these rooms with as little help as possible, and the fact that we had to ask for help on a room just because the room was not working is a cardinal sin in our book. We have also seen a drop off in the quality of the room host, this shop has always seemed to lean in to the acting part of their jobs and specifically in the DB cooper room this role left much to be desired. I guess our next great puzzle to solve is going to be, what local escape experience is going to replace NW Escape Experience as our new local go to.

I am very sorry to hear this! I would definitely love to get more information from you on what was broken that did not allow you to solve the puzzle on your own. We also agree that it is a cardinal sin to not have a room in proper working order and I assure you that we do everything we can to make sure that we this is not a normal occurrence. We do keep track of any issues with props during customer experiences and do everything in our power to make sure that we make those situations right. As you know from our previous "gold standard" experiences we take these types of situations very seriously. I would love for you to email me directly at tamara@nwescapeexperience.com so I can get more details and see what we can do to make it up to you and keep you coming back!

The mask and the voice were SO creepy! Geoff (our Ronnie) did a phenomenal job scaring us throughout the entire process. Even when he was helping as the gamemaster, he would add some creepy comment at the end to remind us what would happen if we didn't escape. The puzzles were challenging, but not to the point that we couldn't make sense of things from one puzzle to the next. We jumped and screamed so many times, and are glad to report -- WE ESCAPED!

This was our first escape room experience and it totally exceeded our expectations. The props and clues were expertly put together, and our gamemaster, Isaac, was great in character! We had a blast and cant wait to come back to try another room.

Nice atmosphere. Escape room is very fun since it is a puzzle, great for intelligence training. Workers are nice and push a great experience. Joyel was our game master, very nice and put on a voice that matched the character.

Two of us did the Jurassic Park theme room. It was very fun; challenging puzzles. Reagan as Marti the robot, did a great job adding to the entertainment value with her storylines and was also available if you needed hints. She really made the experience much more enjoyable. Looking forward to more escape game rooms in the future.

This was the best escape room I have ever done! We did Ronnie's House, and it was tricky and engaging. My husband, bless his heart, is a bit of a know it all and much more experienced in Escape Rooms than I am. Normally that leaves me feeling dejected and like I didn't contribute to the room, but Ronnie's house was truly an immersive experience. I don't know if I solved any clues or not, honestly. I just was having fun looking around the room and getting scared. So even though I might not have contributed, I still felt very much involved the whole time.
We solved all the puzzles and the door code, so I thought we had beat it with flying colors. When we put in the door code, it opened to ANOTHER room and I freaked out. It was so cool to have multiple rooms with different themes.
Finally, the actor playing Ronnie was really fun. We enjoyed our banter with them and it made the game that much more enjoyable.

Had a great time with the jurassic escape room. Alex was a very helpful game master. Hints were given along the way to help move the game along. The puzzles were interesting and challenging. Friendly staff. We will definitely return.

Two of us were in from out of town and dragged our family member there. She had had a not so good experience in L.A. with a different escape room. Well this changed her view! We did the Jurassic tours and it was awesome! Soren was our “guide” and he was great! Funny and dropped a subtle clue when we really needed it.
I will definitely be up here again and come back. Really was top notch!

NW Escape experience in Vancouver is a great place for fun and entertainment for the whole family. I have been there several times, and even the most experienced problem solvers will be challenged. I really like the DB Cooper room and Jurassic Tours the best so far. I haven’t been to the Polybius Lives room yet but I know for video gamers it will be a popular one! The staff is great and interactive.

We took a 9 and a 12 year old to the Jurassic theme escape room and had a great time! I wasn’t really sure what kind of things we were going to encounter, but, luckily, we found out the 12 year old had been watching YouTube videos of escape rooms and was totally excited that she was getting to take part in one! We all had fun and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. It certainly was exciting the full 60 minutes. I can’t wait to get some friends together to try some of the more adult themed escape rooms!
Very great customer service and I highly recommend this.

Would this be a fun thing to do for a couple or is it better for a larger group?

Two people is not enough to solve enigmas in 60 minutes.... besides that, all escape rooms have a minimum and a maximum number of players, and it usually ranges from 4 to 10 people. So, invite another couple to go with you and be prepared to have a lot of fun! :)
