Bless Bryan’s soul. Give Bryan a raise he’s the love of my life. On a side note, very good facility. I’ve done two escape rooms here and they’re not too easy like many other places. If you’re going to do an escape room in Seattle go here.

We did The Dark Room one, and it was comfortably the best escape room I've ever done! Our game master Matthew was a fantastic host and did such a good job setting up the story in our heads - before, during and after the adventure! Can't wait to come back and do another one!

I love this place!! I've done two escape rooms here and they were both so much fun but Quizy was definitely my favorite part, I LOVE trivia. Also our guide was super funny and kind! Only notes I have are that the AI slop everywhere really brings the vibe down, and the "Simon Says" memory game in Quizy seemed to be broken for everyone. But besides that, would definitely recommend!

Can I just walk in?

Indeed you can, but we cannot garantee that we’ll have a room available at that time. For this reason, most people prefer booking ahead of time through website here.

It’s easy, only take a minute, and you can rest assured that your room will be waiting for you when you arrive.
