Room Escape Adventures

This is a long overdue review I owed for this Escape room! We did their Zombie I Escape last year and I was fairly satisfied with the quality of their game. I have been to so many Escape rooms already, and this one is above average regarding its puzzles… Failry logical I would say. I am very impressed that the Dr. was very nice to make notes on each paticipant’s behaviors and summarized in the end. This is super helpful and you would have a better idea what kind of role you played inba team work encironment. Also the zombie actor did a great job scaring people ;) I wish it has multiple rooms instead of letting people stuck in one room though. I heard they had Zombie II came out, so I might pay another visit sometime!

What a great night of fun!!! I was a little skeptical at first, I mean willingly trapping yourself in a room with a «hungry zombie» is pretty crazy in itself, but as soon as we arrived all the skepticism went away! The actors stay in character the entire time, I mean ENTIRE time. Our Professor/​host, Alicia, was energetic friendly and helpful (until we got into the room that is). I won’t give anything about the room away, other than the fact that it is far more difficult than you’d ever expect, especially with a zombie chasing you! Our hungry Doctor zombie, Sara, kept us on our toes the whole hour, and we really had to work together to try to escape. I went with a personal group, but I can see how this would be a great activity for any sort of team building. Overall I had a blast, and even though we didn’t escape, we plan to try our skills on the other room they offer!

So much fun! And really challenging in the best way! Our Zombie Brian kept us on our toes quite literally as we tried not to be caught by him before being able to escape! Our host Sarah was also very entertaining while explaining the rules and tips before locking us all in the room with the zombie! We did not escape but it was totally fun anyway. I highly recommend doing it! Can’t wait to try again sometime.

Great twist on the concept! There is a zombie on a chain in the room with you, and every 5 minutes his chain gets longer! Get touched and you’re eliminated from the game (though that rarely happens). There will be running and jumping around involved. Leave your zombie weapons home though, because the zombie is more of a friendly looking zombie (though still ravenous). Don’t go expecting a terrifying zombie.
I like the different puzzles, riddles, and mechanical contraptions that we had to figure out. They seem well thought out and the game had a nice flow to it, probably because the gamemaker is in the room with you. He never speaks directly, but is subtle with clues and to help direct your attention to the next part if your team looks lost. (I kind of like this interaction. Most escape rooms just communicate with you via a computer monitor.)
The location of the actual place is a little difficult to find, but there is ample parking at least. One of my favorite things about this escape room is that the staff stays in character from the moment you enter until the game is over where you have a picture and a recap of the game.

Dude… Seriously. Why haven’t you done this already? My husband and I went by ourselves and linked up with 10 strangers. not only did we make it out with a minute left, we all had to work together to figure things out. I won’t ruin this game for you, but if you are smart, like figuring things out and like The Walking Dead, then you should do this. I mean it… if you’re not going to do it, then you wasted three minutes reading this review.

This was our first room escape and we absolutely LOVED it! There were 11 of us, and while we didn’t make it out of the room, it was a super fun time. Sarah and Shawn gave us the perfect experience. I cant wait to come back and try their other room.

Our host (Dr. John Von Convincing Accent) and our zombie (Steve) both did an excellent job. The puzzles were challenging but doable. Totally recommend this Escape the Room!

Fantastic night out! John and Sara were amazing and never broke character. The puzzles were fun and thought provoking. You really need to work together to avoid being zombie meat.

This was one of the best things I have ever experienced. What a test of teamwork and communication! I have not laughed so hard in a very long time and truly enjoyed my time. The actors, John and Jeremy, were incredible!!! They both deserve raises and I am recommending this experience to everyone I know!

This was so much fun. I wish I had a video of everyone’s reaction to the zombie. Thanks Duff, Joon and company

Just survived being «Trapped in a room with a Zombie». What a great night out with friends to celebrate my wife’s birthday. We had a blast. Trying to solve the clues while keeping one eye on the Zombie was much more difficult than expected. Challenging your brain while also making you laugh and smile. Professor Sara and Alicia the Zombie were outstanding. I’d recommend this to everyone! Way to go Christmas Birthday Team! WE GOT OUT!!!

AMAAAAZING experience!!! Sarah and Suzanna were so friendly, and helpful. I highly recommend this activity!!!

I have to admit that I was apprehensive at first about doing this. I thought it could go one of two ways-​be really fun or really corny. My group had a blast. It helped that we won, but I think we would have had a good time even if we had lost.
The scenario is that you are trapped in a room with a zombie and a host. To get out, you solve a bunch of riddles and puzzles. I won’t give anything away but I thought the puzzles were just right. Tough but doable.
I highly recommend doing this with a group. We had a great time.

My first time doing escape the room and it was fun! Thank you to my husband to put together a team who could solve everything and we did escape the room! The staff was very friendly and played very well!

Very fun escape the room experience. The zombie added another challenge but was not too scary for the faint of heart. All the actors were committed to their roles and performed great. I loved the puzzles/​clues themselves. Unlike some room escapes I have gone to, they focus on team building and making sure you get to know everyone’s strengths and weaknesses.

It is with great honor — and some anger: p — that I say I’m glad we fail because it was well put and the actors never once broke character! I look forward to the second room and I recommend you do this otherwise you will be kicking yourself in the butt and should be fed to zombies: p good luck!
PS: this picture is much larger but the folks asked that we do not share pictures of the zombie on social media so I will honor their request. I apologize to our new friends we made that night for not including them in the pic as we couldn’t crop the zombie without cropping you :(but you were awesome!

Absolutely awesome experience! The professor was an outstanding host the entire time. He really helped a group of strangers come together as one unit for the greater good (escaping the grasps of the zombie). Everything prior to entering the room was pretty laid back and right to the point as far as rules and tips are concerned. I love that they share the statistics of the prior attempts of escape with you before you enter to really challenge you to not be one of the many to get eaten. In the room is where the real magic is. So many cool puzzles and riddles that force you to communicate, think outside the box, and utilize your strengths all while having eyes in the back of your head so you don’t get eaten alive. The zombie was great. You will get startled. You will bump into each other while trying to elude the zombie. You will have fun!
Unfortunately for team Num Num, we did not survive. Had every clue we needed, but simply could not piece the last little bit together. The professor said he thought we only needed ten more seconds, but I think he was being generous. Two more minutes and we would’ve made it out alive. Instead, we were zombie food.
Can’t wait until they redo the room and have a new experience ready to go because this was well worth just $ 20. I highly recommend you get some friends together or even just one friend, and go sign up for this really unique experience. Great for friends, strangers, and teamwork for co-​workers. Loved it!

This, my friends, is serious fun.
The Young ‘Un and his friends are all Zombie lovers — they play Zombie Apocalypse, they watched World War Z twenty times, they are Walking Dead fans, etc. So, when GoldStar offered tickets to this, a light bulb went off in my head: Wouldn’t getting «Trapped in a Room with a Zombie» be perfect for a Zombie lover birthday? Quick email to Robert at the production group — yep, no problem, he set aside a time for us way in advance (I am a planner by nature and profession).
It was perfect, actually. From the moment we arrived and were greeted by Dr. Oxy’s Assistant to the time we left, we all had a blast. As we were a ‘full show’ — 12 people is a sold-​out show — they patiently waited as one car got stuck in traffic. They also deftly handled the sometimes completely obnoxious comments from the teens and pre-​teens.
The room itself is seriously challenging, the Zombie did a fantastic job. I have not moved as deftly and quickly to evade capture in quite some time. The puzzles are harder than they seem, and they would be challenging for all ages. It’s NOT a «kid-​geared event — i would say the youngest ages would be our group — 11−12−13−14. To get out, you absolutely have to work together, use the paper & pen to track clues (NOT draw scribbly drawings and write «butt crack* with apparently *sigh*) and LISTEN to each other. We ALMOST got out. Almost.
Go. Grab your friends, your family, or just book in with a random group. We can’t wait for «Zombie II» to roll out and go again.

This was so much fun!!! The cast was fantastic and the riddles were hard but not
Impossible. I would love to do this again. Unfortunately we became zombie food.
:(but it was an awesome experience

I just tried «Trapped in a room with a zombie» this past weekend and it was incredible! My group and I had a lot of fun. It was a perfect mix of riddles, puzzles, and intensity. The puzzles are very difficult, and most people don’t escape in time. My group finished literally half a second too late! It was so close, and one of the funnest experiences I’ve had in quite some time. I would 100% recommend this to anybody who enjoys doing things that are a little out of the ordinary! Give it a shot, just once. It’s a really fun time.
Even if they «don’t like horror stuff», it’s still not all that scary really. As long as you don’t faint at the slightest sound, you’ll be fine. The braver members of the group will deal with dodging the zombie while you stay in a corner taking notes!
I can’t say much more without spoiling it. The less you know, the better. The only three hints I can give you:
1. Buy tickets online and show up early. Make sure your whole group buys them for the same time.
2. If you are going to be late, be cool about it and they’ll let you reschedule your tickets.
3. The «Sherman Mills» hipster commune is a little hard to navigate, so just look for a building marked «3» and go to the ground floor side of it. There’s a little door marked there, and that’s your entrance.
