Room Escape Adventures

A hilarious hour of fun being chased by a zombie! And the zombie is actually funny. Great brain exercise as well!

I won’t rehash how it works. Everyone else has already described the process in their review. 5 Stars for something new and original to do. 2 Stars for entertainment experience. 3 Stars for value. I got tickets through a daily deal but would’ve been very disappointed if I paid the regular price for the experience.

We purchased Living Social deals so we were able to get a full group of 12 to fill our own room. The company was very easy to work with and responsive and helped me set up our room reservation. Parking was easy. We arrived 15 minutes early as instructed and were ready to go when our reservation started. The actual experience was a ton of fun. We did NOT make it out alive and weren’t even as close as we thought but the entire experience was action-​packed, challenging and hilarious. The only downside is that the room is crazy hot so between running for clues, dodging the zombie and the heat make sure to wear some extra-​strength antiperspirant! But that’s a minor point considering how much fun we had!!!

OMG, this was so fun! A great event to do with friends or coworkers for team building.
The idea is to solve puzzles as a group and find a way out of the room before you get eaten by the zombie. :-)
Every five minutes, the zombies chain gets a little bit longer!
Puzzles range from riddles, combination locks, observing your surroundings and what appears to stand out.
I loved how unique this was, something completely different I have never done before. This is also an ingenious way to use space that has been abandoned or off-​season.
Definitely check this out for good old-​fashioned fun and theatrics!

The first thing I want to mention is how great the staff was, they really stayed in character the entire time while we were there.
The story was really thought out and my group and I really enjoyed our time during this escape room. The idea of zombie chained up in a room while you have to solve puzzles might scare you but really it’s that good kind of scare where your heart is beating fast and you are panic trying not to get touched by the zombie.
I won’t spoil anything about the room or the puzzles, but our group of friends have done about 5 different escape rooms and this one was truly a challenge. The clues were well thought of and it requires a lot of group effort to distract the zombie, figure out the clue, and go unlock another puzzle.
There were some minor things that could have been better, the room is not vented at all, and after 30 mins of 12 people running around, it started to get real hot. The second thing was the staff stopped us at 5 minutes left claiming that the clock was fast but we all had personal timers and that was a bit distracting as we lost about 2 minutes of valuable time. We did manage to get out of the room with 45 seconds to spare with luck on our side.
The thing I really did enjoy about this room was the staff was in the room with us recording notes and giving hints when needed. At the end of the room, she gave everyone an award for: most leadership, most scared of a zombie, most running away from a zombie: most friendly towards a zombie (one of our members were fanning the zombie with a clue because it was super hot, and he was in full costume with makeup) Etc. It really made the experience more fun as we could reflect on the different things we did in the room.
I have recommended a few different friends to try out this room and really I will be back when they change the room or decided to add a new story.

This was one of those things where I showed up at the door a bit worried: it looked like an abandoned building and I didn’t quite know what to expect. I was early– so we waited. Almost didn’t even stay.
Then the others began to arrive. Our ragtag group of prisoners began to converse and we were soon welcomed into the world of Dr. Oxy and all of the mischievous puzzles that would come along with delving into the lair of a zombie.
We listened to the rules and dreamt up a team name. Once inside the room itself, we had one hour to escape a vicious zombie by solving puzzles and deciphering clues. This was not easy. I think telling any specific details would fall under the category of spoilers. I will say that there were a few of the clues that I didn’t feel really panned out (they were… misleading, but not in a red herring kind of way), but the good doctor was nice enough to clarify when it was needed. We were jumping and sweating and screaming to each other in a desperate attempt to solve this puzzle before our sixty minutes were up… because every 5 minutes, our zombie got another foot of chain and if we were touched– we were out.
In the end, we escaped. We had the second best time they’d ever had and I honestly think we had a strangely cohesive team for a bunch of strangers. What a fun time!
If you want hints, listen to the doctor.

The zombie smelled of elder wood. I love elder wood. It tastes of the sun, of glory. That’s also what sun chips taste like. But sometimes they taste of sour cream and onions. Edibles (brains) are safe for this experience, woot woot! The lights went out from a storm. then someone touched me, it was nice. The clues were a challenge but awesome and there were enough to keep a large group entertained. Not only was I touched by the good doctor but as the lights turned off, I was simultaneously turned on. Would recommend this to anyone, we had a blast!

Puzzle solving, zombies and cardio? Sign me up! Went here recently with 3 other friends and had a blast. They were 8 other people in the room with us as well. You definitely need to use your noggin to figure out the clues. Pay attention to your guide and have a piece of paper and pen handy to keep track of the info. Be sure to communicate with everyone in the room, as it can get a little chaotic. It’s also hilarious watching everyone flee as the zombie’s chain gets longer and you are closer to his/​her reach. Don’t forgot to wear comfy shoes.
My friend Erin and I were got caught by the zombie in the last 10 minutes but the group did make it out of the room with 5 minutes to spare. It was $ 30 for the ticket (tax included) but sometimes Groupon has a $ 16 deal. The staff here are great and amusing as well. Definitely had a fun time. Don’t forget to tip your zombie as he works hard!

We had a ton of fun despite getting eaten by the zombie! It is an hour of fun. The zombie and his assistant really make it entertaining.

Participated in Traped in a Room with a Zombie this past weekend, and really enjoyed it. We did not sign up with anyone else we knew, so our group (a maximum of 12) was a hodgepodge of people — a couple on a date, some friends/​family who were enjoying time in Colorado together, and us.
One of the first things we were concerned about was that we’d solve the puzzle quickly and our admission fee would have been spend on a 15-​minute experience. No worries there — there were a substantial number of puzzles, they required a lot of thought (and collaboration), and we were kept very busy. I definitely felt we got our money’s worth on this experience.
The actors who played the roles of the zombie and doctor were really fun and interactive through the process, and the doctor character was only helpful when we were spending way too much time on a dead end, or when we asked questions. The zombie kept us hopping, with her increasingly long chain, but she was fantastic at giving us the appropriate level of difficulty, with a good balance of keeping us at bay and allowing us to distract her enough to search for clues while her back was turned.
Adding to the ambiance was the creepy old space where the event was held — it’s definitely not a high-​end building! But it plays well into the experience. Parking in this neighborhood can be hard to come by, so bear that in mind and allow yourself plenty of time to get situated before the adventure begins. Make absolutely sure that you arrive on time — the scenario just will not permit for latecomers (you are all locked in a room, after all!)
All in all, a fantastic time and a really unique way to spend an evening that doesn’t involve staring at a screen! I’d also really recommend this experience for small-​group teambuilding; you certainly see everyone strengths and weaknesses here, with the critical thinking, time pressure, and ambiguous activities.

My wife and I attended «Trapped in a Room with a Zombie» on a Friday night with a group of ten and we had a blast. We weren’t sure what to expect before going in but figured why not, its better than the same old date night with bars, restaurants and movies. The puzzles were certainly harder than I expected and im not real sure if I contributed anything to the overall goal, but I still had fun attempting to.
I was surprised to see the zombie stay in character throughout the entire hour. The host (doctor) was also very friendly and offered small additional clues if we really wanted them. I would love to see these evolve and grow. I have no real complaints but I think it would be better if they had a strobe light going off for the last ten minutes or even periods of time where there is no lights at all. But I understand these attractions are in there early stages.
If I could give advice to attendees (without spoiling anything), keep track of what puzzles you had already solved and communicate everything. Its certainly worth a trip there and we would like to go back in 6 months or so to see if anything changed. You really dont have to be a fan of zombies, horror, haunted houses or even theatre to enjoy this attraction, it can be fun for everyone.
