Our clue master was Maddie and she was so awesome! She explained everything so well and was super fun. The room was so cool. There are so many surprises. It was so fun, definitely going back
Although it's nice to have an escape room right on in the heart of downtown Minneapolis, our experience here was slightly lacking. We attempted the James Bond/spy/The Agency room. This was our first room at this location but compared to other companies in the area, this was the least fun we've had. Beware that during this entire 60 minutes, the James Bond theme music plays in the background..... It gets rather annoying really quickly. Because of its location, it's nice to have the option while downtown, but we wouldn't go out of our way to stop here again.
Well run and challenging, with an exciting (but not scary) level of intensity. We had a team of 7 middle and high school youth and 4 adults, and finished within the time frame (but benefited from a few hints.) Everyone would love to go back soon! We did The Apartment.
High-quality, well-organized escape room. My group's room felt like we were in an Indiana Jones movie, with puzzles of all sorts and secret rooms. It was crazy fun.
Lots of fun, friendly staff, challenging without being frustrating.
Not familiar with the cities or how to find addresses there, so my group and I were running around trying to find this place (as we would have been right on time for our game if we had found it right away). We finally found it, and were about 10 minutes late. Since they time you for the game, they were so gracious with us and paused our timer for us to give us the full experience. Everything was explained very well and efficiently. While in the room, they give you helpful hints when they notice you are stuck. Overall, it was an incredibly fun experience and will definitely go back there again to try out their other rooms!
Staff was super helpful. It was very fun.
It was fun but we didn't make it out in time
This was honestly such a fun experience. We did 'The Dig' which was a great themed room to start with. I know that there are less theme centered options, yet it was nice to have the continuity, at least this first round. It was also only an hour (there are longer options) which was also a good amount of time for us first timers (not too much pressure!) No one in our group had been to an escape room before, and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. Beyond the activity, the employees at the Minneapolis location were very nice, and ultimately made the experience even better. If you like puzzles or are looking for something other than a movie to spend an evening, this would be a great option.
Had a blast even though we did not escape the room.
We did the Dig. I thought 8 was too many for the room, but it works well. No clues so be clever. Very fun
Colton was awesome! Great fun for all ages.
My first time. Had a blast. Tryan (sp), our guide, if you will, was fun and amazing! Thanks for the great experience.
We had an awesome time. Will definitely come back and try and different room.
Lots of fun! Good challenge with god clues!
A lot of fun! We really enjoyed the game at ETR and the staff was very friendly and made the experience even more enjoyable. We'll definitely be back!
Our work team had a blast in the Appartment and the Dig rooms. Both were not easy! Our guide gave us clues when we needed them. There were lots of surprises and turns and twists to the puzzles. LOVED IT!
Very fun room and just the right difficulty for 4 people. We finished the Dig scenario with 3 and a half minutes to spare. The cluemaster was kind and adequate briefing us prior to entering the room. He was able to give us the right clues to still make us think but pull us out of being stuck on a critical step. Would highly recommend for anyone who has an interest in puzzles and thinking outside the box. Communication is essential.
This was our second time doing an escape room and we really had a blast solving puzzles and racing to beat the clock. Our room, The Dig, had puzzles that were the right amount of challenging to get your brain working. Really loved all the fun surprises and elements in our room. Can't wait to go back and try the other rooms and see if we can continue our winning streak. (Thank you Brian for being a great host!)
First time trying to solve the puzzle of escaping the room and thoroughly enjoyed the challenge. Admittedly, when you first walk in the room, it can be overwhelming not knowing where to begin but you quickly learn to start exploring and moving everything. Before the game, the hostess was very helpful explaining the Do’s and Don’ts of the game. Overall, a lot of fun and would return to play the other rooms. One hour goes by very quickly so best advice is to divide and conquer.
Lots of fun. They gave good tips that were helpful, but didn't take away from the game.
Excellent escape room - we were in the Bond, Secret-Agent themed room and had an excellent time with a large group (9). Puzzles were well constructed and the timing was impeccable - we managed to escape with only 3 minutes remaining of our initial 60.
Great experience with ETR in Minneapolis. We tried agency room and weren't disappointed. Awesome stuff, that kept us on the track just enough to keep moving through. It was first ETR ever done and I'm very satisfied looking to try other places as well.
Great team builder for work! It was the most our team has ever collaborated, and it felt great step-by-step as we tackled the puzzles. Beating the game with seconds spare was like something out of a movie. Cannot recommend highly enough!
This Indiana Jone-themed room was terrific! My team and I had a total blast. Would recommend!
Super fun. Definitely makes you think. The assistant who explained everything to us was very informative and made us feel very special.
They were prepared for every contingency and the experience was great.
We had a great time! The clues were challenging, and the space well done. Would definitely recommend --a great group event!
Lots of fun. The staff was great. They let us solve the puzzle with a few hints to help us along our way. Very cool. I'd say more, but I don't want to spoil the surprise
My first ever escape Room Experience and it was AMAZING! Really friendly and welcoming staff. The room was very well setup and the clues were tough but not unsolvable. My overall experience has been terrific and I definitely will go back for more.
Much harder than you'd think but loads of fun!!
Great location, great rooms. Well constructed and more focusedon fun than competition, which was awesome
Excellent experience. Have done several escape rooms in multiple locations and this one was just fun and challenging as the others. In some ways may be more fun and challenging. I would recommend Escape The Room to anyone.
Very nice way to spend an evening
This is a good company for escape rooms, and the folks at this location were fantastic. Our clue master, Grant, did a great job and the assistant manager who checked us in made us feel very welcome. The room itself was well designed and fun!
Awesome escape room and great staff!
We went for a 40th birthday, and had an absolute blast! The Dig was great, and we will absolutely be returning.
This was a first experience taking our 14 year old son and 6 of his friends. An incredibly fun time. I started as an spectator and eventually joined to help them. Have to say it was equally fun watching as well as participating.
I’ve done the apartment and the dig and had a wonderful time each time. The puzzles aren’t “hard” but they require plenty of creativity and good observation skills. Our team was a blend of experienced puzzle solvers and complete novices and we all had a blast. Everyone got to contribute and we talked about how much fun we had for days. I would definitely recommend Escape the Room!
Had an awesome time and Nathan, our clue master, did a great job.
It was a very fun experience and puzzles were pretty challenging. They have a few different rooms and will definitely be back again. You get an hour which seems like plenty of time but as we found out might not be enough. Highly recommend this place and will come back again.
If your into group puzzles you'll love this. Be sure to bring your A game. There quite difficult
Exceeded my expectations!! I have never done anything like this and I wasn't too excited about our Saturday afternoon reservation. I have to say I was beyond surprised with how much I enjoyed this experience. We did "The Dig" and it was really cool. There were so many unexpected surprises and you really have to think. I became very invested in helping our team succeed. Unfortunately, we were one clue away from completing our escape :( I look forward to coming back to try this again.
We escaped!! It was very amazing team building experience!!
Nice experience
Very fun time and we'll put together
Our group did The Apartment and it was really fun! Our group escaped with just about 2 minutes remaining! It was challenging but super exciting! Would definitely go back!
Great timetime, great place. Will definitely do it again
So much fun! Definitely worth the money!
This is my second experience with an escape room. It was fun, but we didn't escape. The clues were definitely hard to figure out. There were too many distractions in my opinion, which made trying to figure out the clues harder. When we received clues from the game master it was helpful. The room is not impossible. We did get to the very last clue. Overall fun if you are really good at finding the connections.
Literally the coolest type of entertainment you could experience and it's fun for everyone. The staff was supreme too. Very nice people. Definitely worth trying out if you never have!
Our game master, Beth, was very helpful and supportive. I did “The Agency” escape room with school and it was fun, challenging, and required teamwork. I definitely recommend this room.
Very helpful staff. First escape room but highly recommend it.
A bunch of us did the apartment for a friend birthdays? We are a bunch of 46-51yr olds and we had a blast! I suggest you get a group together and do this ASAP!
Thanks to the cluemaster Colton for providing an outstanding experience. Highly encourage everybody to attempt "the apartment".
How are there so many positive reviews for this place? Stupid cliche puzzles that could be cool if they were properly executed. If this room were free, it still would not be worth the $6 parking fee. Do not judge escape rooms by this experience. I believe this is the worst place we have ever done (60+ rooms)
Very fun! Just went here for my birthday with family and we had a blast
1st time in an escape room. We had a blast!!! Can't wait to try the next one.
Great experience to expand your mind . Thank you.
Although I always wish more time were given at these things, I had a lot of fun in "The Dig" room with our party of four. The clues were better done here than in previous experiences.
Fantastic time. Been twice and I'm looking forward to more rooms and puzzles in the future! Great service and props!
It was Emma's first day and she was awesome! We had such a fun experience we went two nights in a row. Definitely a MUST when you're in Minneapolis!
Went with a group of friends! The staff was incredibly friendly and played along with all our stupid jokes. Had a great time and would love to make it back there again someday.
We loved that this escape room accommodated our entire group of 11 people -- it was an excellent experience!
We've done many escape rooms where we're from so we decided to try one out in Minneapolis while we were in town. We stayed downtown and this one was the closest to us. Booking the room was quite odd as they want you to pay the full amount to book not just a deposit like we're used to. We chose to do 'The Apartment' because that was the only one available at the time we could get. Found it weird how you can keep belongings like cellphones and bags and actually use them to solve clues. The clues had no flow to them what so ever and sometimes you wouldn't even know if you solved anything until you see something opening. It sucks because if you're working on 2 clues at once you dont really know which one opened it. Some of the clues were already solved when we got there too. (the safe was already opened) and we got that clue further along on how to open the safe, so that was a waste of time. For the amount paid, this room wasn't very good.
We played The Dig and overall had a great experience. If you're an Indiana Jones fan, you'll enjoy some of the rooms Easter eggs.
Had a great time. Puzzles to solve were clever and not unsolvable, but not easy either.
Did "The Dig" with family. Was a lot of fun
This place was a blast. Definitely going again.
Interesting and challenging! They designed a lot of problems with really creative answer.
Great family fun! It was a lot a blast! It takes focus and teamwork. We will definitely do it again!
This is a great adventure. Well worth the time and money. It was my first time and look forward to more times. Cant stop talking about all the clues snd solves. The attenants are very friendly and curteous.
Great fun place with elaborate and smart rooms and puzzles!
I've only been to one other "escape room" before (by a different company) and this experience was even better than the first. Excellent staff, facilities, and adventure! Highly recommend!
Did the dig with 3 other people and while we had a small group we still had a blast. I would say it’s not super easy but not impossibly hard. Only needed 4 clues which isn’t bad for such a small group. Would definitely recommend.
We went for my son's 11th birthday party! We had a blast. I highly recommend it. (keep in mind there has to be at least one adult.)
Lots of fun. Challenging. Great time with friends.
Tons of fun. We did The Dig escape room. I am an avid escapee, this room is my 12th and I really appreciate the themeing and technology usage in the room. We only had one hiccup where we saw a portion with wires that we thought we werent supposed to touch, but ended up needing to touch at some point. I wish the wires were hidden so we didn't have that confusion, but other than that it was a great experience and will be coming back for the other two rooms soon.
Fun time with my 11 y.o. daughters; already looking forward to our next chance to Escape the Room
The room we did was a little harder than expected. We got close, alas... Decent rooms, decent staff. You can't necessarily request clues, they offer when the struggle is real:) We got lucky and booked with great group for our adventure.
So much fun!
So much fun, a good challenge
We had a great time! It was so well done with lots of detail...so happy there was 10 of us to brainstorm. Awesome
Great experience for a first timer. Were able to find all keys and escaped with 5 mins remaining. Awesome time with friends. Definitely recommend to try
Fun staff holiday party at Escape the Room! We made it out of The Apartment without killing each other, AND we had a great time!
This was an absolute blast!!!! My husband and I were paired with another couple, who equally participated with solving the situation. We all contributed so much in different ways, which made the experience even more fun. I would highly recommend this to everyone!!!
A group of 3 of us did the Dog escape room, and our experience was great. The room was challenging and rewarding without being too hard to solve. We did receive a few hints along the way, but we made it out with 15 seconds to spare. Definitely recommend checking them out.
Madeleine (spelling? Sorry girl) was a great mission producer and gave us a great experience in The Dig! A tough room but very fun and she was very helpful. Will definitely be back on her account.
This was our first time doing an escape room and though I knew what to expect, this exceeded my expectations! We did the Gold Rush room. The rooms were done with a lot detail and looks great. The staff was very pleasant, friendly and helpful. It was a very fun experience!! Even though we only had a party of 3, we escaped with 2 minutes to spare!! Will definitely be back!
We had a great time. It was the first time any of us in the room had done an Escape Room. At first it was harder than we expected but once we got the hang of how the clues worked we all fell into place pretty well. I would totally do this again.
We went to The Dig. It was a great way to spend the evening with our extended family. The hour went by so quickly and it was so much fun figuring out the clues and moving on to the next challenge. I would highly recommend this as group event with friends or family who want to do something unique together.
Great time! Will definitely go back to complete the other 2 missions. Friendly & helpful staff!
Attentive and friendly staff combined with a creative and challenging atmosphere made this place a great time.
Our family has done 4 or 5 different Escapes throughout the country, and “The Apartment” was the best one by far. The space was large and the Escape was fun, challenging, and well put together. Highly recommend!
Our group did the Agency room. It was tons of fun and we made it out! Challenging, but not too hard where it wasn't fun. Definitely a fun thing to do with a group for a birthday or just a fun weekend event.
Great experience. Was challenging but still a lot of fun. A lot of good puzzles.
Disclaimer: I work for an escape room but have no affiliation with this business. I have also played more than 40 rooms and typically rate them at 5 stars. Compared to all of the great rooms in the Twin Cities, I was rather disappointed. The themes and technology in the rooms were fun but the puzzles, story, and clues were all below average. I played The Dig and The Agency. The Dig had one puzzle that took someone in my group (has 30 escape rooms completed and is well above average at puzzles) 27 minutes to solve. It was not difficult, just very time consuming. She was frustrated she missed half of the room doing just that. Twice she asked if there was some type of clue and was ignored. She finally completed it and nothing happened. We asked again about it and if it did anything and no response. Finally I loudly said 'oh we must just have to force this open' just to get their attention and right away I got a message saying to not force anything. I then asked immediately after what that puzzle did and no response. Later I found out it was used for something but idk why the game master didn't tell us that it was needed later after there was clear frustration. No game master should just ignore the players. There were a few other puzzles in the room (I won't be specific and give spoilers) that in my professional opinion needed hints/clues from the game master to solve that did not logically make sense. There were some cool technology uses but the entire experience was frustrating. After we completed the room, the game master said 'ya most people get frustrated'. If that's the case then the puzzles need to be changed. The Agency was better but still had major frustrations. The puzzles and items don't always connect well. There is outside knowledge or guessing necessary to complete. Once again puzzles needed hints because they don't make sense on their own. The game master was much better this time but still seemed like most clues needed two or three revisions to fully get the concept of the puzzle. With all of the quality places in the Twin Cities this is not some place I'd go. It is not worth the Groupon discount especially when you have to pay for parking which offsets that discount.
Had a blast with the family after Christmas! We were able to buy this experience through Groupon, so it was very reasonably priced. We loaded up and spent some time downtown eating and enjoying a winter day. Parking on the street was easy and convenient; however, we did this on a Wednesday evening, so car traffic and foot traffic were light. Even though we failed to find all the keys, we had a GREAT time trying.
The Apartment is a fun room! There are quite a few non-linear clue threads that add to the excitement of the escape.
The room was much more intricate that I expected, most of the puzzles were very clever and had unexpected results. We had much fun.
Fun concept. The host gave us some hints during our hour. It was challenging!
So much fun!! Our guide, Shelby was amazing!!!! We made it!!!!
Incredibly fun. This was the third and most fun escape room that I have been too. The puzzles were very fun and different. Also, the technology that they used was very interesting. We did the agency and I would recommend this to anyone. We had wesley (I think that is how you spell it) as the host and he was very good. The clues that we had were still very cryptic and did not feel like he was handing you the answer. We will be coming back as soon as we can.
Had a blast for my sons 17th bday! Will deff be back again.
Was the first time in a escape room. It was crazy fun. Finding all the clues and all the messages. We had the key in sight and just not enough time to figure out the last riddle. We failed but still had an amazing time. We will get them next time. Can't wait to go back and try a different room. The staff were very helpful and fun.
Very fun...worth my time. The puzzles were intricate, needed a few clues. The rooms were well thought out. Good experience.
Unique date night fun, challenging but not impossible. More people the better!
Great place. Fun atmosphere and very detailed props!
Had a great time! Our guide Nick was great and knew when we needed hints. He went through all the rules and gave great pointers and answered all of our questions at the end. We booked for the last event of the day and did not feel as if he rushed us or wanted us to leave anytime soon. Would love to go again!
I love bringing my family here!
So fun!!! Want to go back
First time ever to an escape room... really fun! I’d love to try out the other rooms. We didn’t escape the Agency unfortunately, but it was so neat how it was set up. I was pretty happy to be the one to find the first piece to the start of the game in my group
This was fantastic, we would do it again
Decent outing for $30 bucks. The room was well maintained, staff were friendly. They patiently waited 40 minutes for my friend who was late. Our room concept was pretty good and challenging.
Amazing! We had a group of 12 and chose to do the apartment escape room. It was everyone’s first time, but we managed to escape with 4 seconds to spare! Too close! The guy that was helping us gave us lots of useful clues for us newbies, but didn’t ruin the fun of the puzzles. The difficulty of this room was a 3 out of 5. It was not too bad, it just took us a while because we were overthinking things. Totally recommend for a group of beginners! P.S. the place was relatively hard to find in downtown Minneapolis. It is literally hidden between two buildings. Follow the directions they give you sent in your email!!!
The staff was super friendly! Such a fun experience. Will totally go back! Thanks!
Escape the Room Minneapolis was a lot of fun. The staff were incredibly nice and the escape room was awesome and well put together. I really felt like I was actually trying to solve a mystery. Alas, my group did not end up beating the puzzle, but we were very close. I enjoyed how there were multiple rooms in the escape room. I would do it again. I am curious to see what the other rooms look like.
We had a great time. Our clue master helped us along without making us feel like we were being handed all the answers. We're definitely planning to come back and do a different room.
Great place to go if you and your friends are looking for something fun and exciting to do! I highly recommend "The Dig". It had an Indiana Jones vibe to it while also maintaining an eerie environment.
Beth was absolutely perfect. She did great.
Fun and well thought out. The employees were enjoyable and personal, even when my group was in at 10:30pm. Planning on going back again for round two.
Wanted to find a way to celebrate my sister's birthday that would be enjoyable for adults and her 13 yr old son so decided to try an escape room. We participated in "The Dig" and had a great time!
A thrilling experience with The Dig! 2 adults and 2 kids... We had a BLAST! Going back ASAP!
Great place! Me and my girlfriend stopped in on a whim, the room at first seemed too small but slowly opened up to more and more rooms! Amazing detail and worth the money.
We had such a fantastic time and our host, Madeleine, was AMAZING! She explained everything efficiently and answered all our questions with ease. Her guidance throughout the experience was SO helpful! Madeleine also took pictures for us at the end and just overall made our Escape the Room adventure totally awesome! Will definitely recommend this location to others. Thanks Madeleine! Thanks Escape the Room!
Very fun! Friendly and helpful staff
With a group and we couldn't quite get past the last obstacle. All had a great time.
Great fun, challenging
Madeleine was so friendly and made our experience super enjoyable. We plan on coming back very soon to do the Agency and the Apartment, and we hope she’s the one to run our room :)
We celebrated our daughter's 12th birthday trying to Escape the Apartment!! We didn't make it out, but we had loads of fun trying!! We were stretched and shared many laughs!! We will definitely be trying again sometime soon!! :D
So much fun! Highly recommend!
Had a blast and made it out with 12 minutes to spare. This was a great escape room. Highly recommended!
Had a great time!! The staff is terrific and friendly.
The escape room was set up really well. The riddles and puzzles were a bit frustrating to solve at times and the clues weren't really helpful. I wish the clues were better if you were stuck.
This was a surprise! We did this last minute on a whim and we're so glad we tried it! It's much more fun than we expected. We can't wait to go back and try the other rooms.
It was fun experience, we chose "The Dig". We didnt make it out in time but l'd definitely try a different adventure "The Apartment or The Agency". Thanks!
We ended up doing a second room because we had so much fun in the first room. We have been traveling the country finding different escape rooms. This has been the best location so far.
Was alot of fun! Definitely recommend it
Was supper fun and I'd do another any time
Tough room but we escaped in time. Excellent puzzles that made us think and guess and think and guess. We could tell these were well thought out rather than something quickly rigged together. The clues though helpful weren't so obvious we didn't have to think about it (a good thing as we only wanted a nudge). Friendly staff and an excellent experience.
The Escape Room is a lot of fun - nice way to get together with others or a large family and put your thinking caps on! Will definitely do it again!
Very fun and thrilling!
Our family celebrated a birthday at The Apartment recently and it was a real mind challenger! We had decorations incorporated into the Apartment for the birthday gal, which was a fun thing for the Escape Room crew to do for us! The hour goes by in a flash as you try and solve all the puzzles needed to get out of the room! We will definitely return to try one of the other adventures. Great way to celebrate together!
Really fun! First time doing an escape room and Madeline (Madison?) was a great host!
Our party of 12 friends had a blast trying to “escape” the apartment. We loved the challenge and clues! I was initially a little reluctant because I’m not a fan of being locked in anyplace but that wasn’t the case at all. We were able get out if needed. I would definitely try it again! Great time!
My review is for "The Dig" only as I haven't done the other ones. I've done quite a few rooms all over the twin cities. This particular room has a very time consuming and frustrating puzzle that holds the rest of the game hostage and really doesn't "do" much once it's done. Other puzzles along the way definitely require game master assistance which I don't like. You should be able to solve it without help. I'd really recommend taking "that" puzzle out as it doesn't add to the experience and frustrates the group with everyone else just standing around. We ended up getting out but I'd say this room needs a refresh with a bit more thought to how the clues line up and if people can connect the dots on their own like most rooms.
Excellent experience for our whole group ranging in ages 14 yrs to 75yrs!! The whole family enjoyed it! Highly recommend the easy booking, friendly staff and challenging experience. Hearts were racing!!
It was a blast! The staff is great and the game was so fun! Our women’s group had the time of our life and have been talking about it all weekend. We will definitely be coming back to try the other rooms!
Staff are wonderful and friendly!
Escape the Room Minneapolis was better than ever expected! Myself along with four others completed our “escape” and enjoyed every challenging minute of it. Would recommend 5/5 !
I have done a lot of escape rooms. And this one by far is the worst one I have ever done. The puzzles don't have anything to do with the theme of the room. When given a clue, the clue is so confusing you can't possibly decipher it.
This was my first experience in an escape room, and my husband’s second. We had a fantastic time and are happy to say that we did ‘escape the room’ (with 19 seconds to go)! There are 3 rooms to choose from and we are definitely coming back this summer to try another room on my husband’s birthday! Everyone was excited for us after we beat the room - excellent staff, worth the experience. Bonus suggestion: park in the ramp they suggest on website.
This was so much fun! I went in a group of six in an apartment themed room and the puzzles were the perfect difficulty for us, along with the hints given to us throughout the game. We finished with exactly one second left! Would definitely go to another
Wonderful experience and room setup was amazing
What a great team building activity! We had so much fun! Would definitely go again.
Fun! Definitely on-par with other Escape Rooms I've been too. The quality of play was detailed and encouraged teamwork. I also appreciate that they offer different themes to encourage return visits. My only suggestion, book early as rooms tend to fill quickly considering the central location on Nicollet. Personally, I had a lot more fun than expected -- 5 stars!
I think it's a great escape room. The puzzles in the one I had were challenging, and though we had a little bit of help, we were able to get out before the time expired!
