TrappedPHL

What an awesome experience! The staff was very personable with a great sense of humor. The room was staged very well with a nice balance of true clues and objects just placed there to distract you. Also, there were a lot of different clues to try and figure out. Some were difficult and some more easily deciphered. It definitely took team work to get us out of the room.
We can’t wait until «Factory II» opens so we can go back and do this again.

Great fun! Team work is a must– and we were a group of 4, working with 6 strangers! Solved the puzzles in 59 minutes! Whew! Highly recommended, truly a great memory!

Odd venue, excellent place! We started with the half hour escape room, the attic, SO fun! We will definitely be going back for the full hour room. Challenging & exciting. We made it out! Would absolutely recommend this place to everyone!

A lot of fun to participate in and an interesting experience all around. Nice that you can find free parking as well. A bit pricey but still a lot of fun. We went with another group of people that we didn’t know and it just made more enjoyable.

Fun team building experience, this was my second «escape» room, first time at Trapped. I like the theme here in this dark and rather disturbing room with horrid sounds blasting into the room the whole time. There were FAR more clues in this room but they didn’t all flow together as expected. Definitely a good time, but a bit pricey. See if you can find a groupon if you are going with your friends. They are working on a 4 person escape room which should be ready soon.
Definitely needs some advertising on the building. They are located inside the mini golf\arcade. Free parking!
Bring yourself a water inside, you may get thirsty!
Our hosts were very cool, which can be a big part of your enjoyment. You don’t want to tick off the hosts as they can make it a horrible experience for you!

Another escape experience… With a twist in the beginning! But I will not spoil!
People are nice, definitely a head scratcher to get out, but the clues did not flow together as well as other escape rooms. Nonetheless, a much enjoyable night! And we were the ~29% that made it out woohoo!

Was looking for another escape event after trying Escape The Room. Found Trapped PHL on Groupon and ended up paying half the price per head compared to Escape The Room. At under $ 15/​person, I thoroughly enjoyed my time spent here.
The setting/​mood is a tiny bit spooky but there isn’t actually anything scary. Think old warehouse or abandoned building kind of theme and that’s roughly what to expect.
Clues are all over the place, lots of decoy clues, many clues are independent of one another. It is not as structured as Escape The Room where everything was intertwined. It’s more scatter brained, more chaotic and the vibe of the room and area definitely helps promote those feelings.
Again, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Staff were very friendly and down to earth people. It’s not as professional or glamorous as Escape The Room but I think that’s part of the charm of Trapped PHL.
The beginning was unexpected :)

This is one of the more unique escape games in the city. Not your typical boring aesthetic, these escape rooms takes it up a notch and create a truly immersive experience with the use of set design, sound and lighting. The puzzles are a mix of scavenger hunt and brain power.

My first escape the room! I went with a group of 8 for a team bonding experience. It definitely is a challenge that needs a lot of teamwork. Having 3 clues helped. I don’t want to say a lot the room itself, going in «blind» is all apart of the experience. (You’ll see what I did there). I will guarantee you that it’s not an easy task but it’s definitely fun! The staff is really nice, funny, and a joy. Free Parking!!! My group is Looking forward to trying out their other room. We escaped with 7 seconds to go! Talk about a nail biter. Never give Up!

A group of friends went here last night and it was ok. We had fun, it just seemed like it would have been a bit more organized. You walk into an odd arcade type of thing that seems like it’s out of a bad clown movie and they walk you back to this room to play the game. It’s just not very refined, but it was fun. We only paid $ 15/​person because we had a groupon, if I had paid $ 30 or whatever, I’d prob give it 2 stars.

My first escape the room concept /​event this past Sunday. Tucked in the middle of nowhere that’s Columbus Blvd & South Philadelphia, Trapped is located upstairs to Fright Factory and built within a glow-​in-​the-​dark mini golf. Parking is available on the street or under the overpass to I-​95.
We booked a session for 10 people on a Sunday afternoon. Dara, our moderator, was super friendly and made conversation with us while we waited for our last two people. I really liked her fun personality.
I’m not going to go into too much detail since you ought to experience this yourselves. We did the Factory 2 room, which was different than all the other rooms I’ve heard of. Essentially the point is to solved clues to free yourself from the room. It’s a great team building and fun activity. My group escaped and did it within 40 mins, hooray! I think I’m addicted to these events now :)

This was the first room escape I’d ever done and I didn’t really know what to expect. I can’t believe how much I loved it! We were in a room with 4 people I knew and 5 that I didn’t so I was a bit leary of relying on strangers to help us escape but there wasn’t a single person who didn’t find some clue or help work to get us out. We escaped with only 4 seconds to spare and it was a crazy rush! We’ve since become obsessed with these things and have done all of the ones available in Philly, and also have driven out to NJ to try one. If you’re on the fence, give it a go; it’s worth every penny!

Found a groupon for this online and thought id try it out
I have also tried Escape the Room Philadelphia in Center City and actually think this may be more fun with more clues. Despite the location of the warehouse, i found this adventure to be a bit more exciting, with a bigger room, and a boatload of more clues. instructors were nice and the group was awesome.

So my girlfriend planned Escape the Room for one of my birthday celebrations, I was excited and nervous.
1) I could not find this place. It definitely needs to be advertised more AND there should be a sign. Who would think it’s in an Indoor Golf/​Arcade Center? This is why my rating is 4 stars instead of 5 stars.
You just do simple street parking here. No need to pay or pay for a meter. It’s all free.
The instructor was really funny, personable, and nice. Basically — you have an hour to Escape the Room. There’s clues everywhere in the room and you work together to solve the riddles/​puzzles/​etc. Unfortunately, our team did not Escape the Room but we were so close!!! It was kind of creepy at first because you put on dark goggles and they take you into a room and chain you to something, but our group, overall loved it! It’s definitely something different and unique to do versus always going to the bar or bowling.
You can get 3 extra clues if you tag yourself and your group on Facebook.
It’s crazy they only have a 16% success rate, but it’s awesome. The instructor said they plan on building more rooms since it’s become so popular. They also have a small room that’s for 2 – 4 people and you have 30 minutes to Escape the Room.
Awesome experience and highly recommended!

This place was probably one of the most fun escape the rooms I have done. The staff was super friendly and nothing but helpful. The puzzles are definitely something you need to think about hard and wont just come to you. The staff had done a great job at making the games and different parts of the room challenging but still a fun night! The group I was with had escaped the room with just enough time! Will definitely go back

Such such fun! Our group of 9 managed to escape with 2 minutes left. The game/​puzzle was great, and the staff was wonderful. We unfortunately had someone running late, which we felt terrible about holding them up because it messes up their schedule, and they were still nothing but kind to us. Highly recommended!

Great time. They found some unique twists to the room escape experience.
