Enigma Escape Rooms

My brother and his friends had been going on and on about how they figured out how to get out of the will at enigma escape rooms. He was driving me up the wall, so I figured I’d check it out to see what they were raving on about. It’s a very easy drive. It’s right before fairfax on sunset so it was fairly easy to find. They have parking there, which is a huge deal; I hate paying for parking! They greeted me very nicely and got me going right away. I did the will, just to prove to my brother and his friends that I could do it too. I expected it to be an easy task, but wow, was I wrong! The room was so complex, all the clues are so detailed, it feels so real! And when you find something, you feel like Sherlock Holmes (at least I did)! It was so much fun! I was thoroughly impressed with their ingenuity, and I’m definitely coming back with my brother to do the other rooms!

I have played a lot of escape rooms in the area and this one is sooo much fun! We did the Secret Temple and it has a 15% success rate. My friend and I took on the challenge! We had one hour to discover as much as we could to open everything locked and GET OUT! What a rush! The room was very well designed, the props are GORGEOUS, the puzzles are clever, and the staff AMAZING! We did indeed escape with 15 minutes left but boy did we work for that! I highly recommend Enigma Escape Rooms! We only had 2 people in our room, but the capacity is 6. My friend and I are very experienced players, so I would also recommend a full room booking if you are new to the Escape Craze. We only got one hint! The staff took our photo and we will probably talk about our experience there for the next few days! We can’t wait to go back and try their other rooms!
Thank you!!!

The Secret Temple, one of three distinctly themed escape rooms at Enigma, puts you and your friends in the role of journalists who seek to uncover the location of an ancient secret society’s hidden temple. With only one hour to spare before the formidable keepers of the temple return, you and your friends must solve puzzles to locate your prize and escape.
If you’re hoping to follow in the footsteps of Indiana Jones, then you’ll be disappointed; this escape room’s theme is more National Treasure than Raiders of the Lost Ark. Nevertheless, the Secret Temple offers solid entertainment that will test your ability to collaborate and communicate. As you’ll learn, sometimes it’s not beneficial to have more people in your group since that will add more confusion to the tasks. The puzzles — a mix of riddles and symbols — were fairly challenging, interesting, and appropriate to the theme. And, the staff was professional and friendly. We ended up having a late-​minute addition to our group that exceeded the maximum number of players for the room, but Enigma accommodated our needs nicely. (If you have more people than the room’s maximum, simply call Enigma beforehand to verify that that’s all right; you’ll end up paying $ 30 more for each additional person over and above the maximum.)
But, I found myself dissatisfied with several aspects of the Secret Temple. The narrative coherence of the mission, for instance, became an afterthought as we moved forward. What exactly was the big deal? What would I do with any information that I recovered? Would it really have mattered if the keepers returned? While the Secret Temple features an actor in costume who offers stern warnings should you touch something prohibited or advice when necessary, I felt like his presence was necessary to fill the gaps in the narrative, as it would otherwise be too challenging for players to figure out what exactly they’re supposed to do at what moment. The ending of the game was very anti-​climactic, and all of us were shocked that the game was already over given the straightforwardness and linearity of the final puzzles. Additionally, I had hoped technology would play a bigger role in the room; while there’s an impressive moment in the latter half of the game, only one person really gets to experience it. And, prior to the game, it would have helped having a video introduction to better immerse ourselves into the imagined world; that would have definitely heightened our sense of purpose.
There are several parking spaces dedicated to Enigma in the lot behind the building, which can be accessed via Ogden. Additionally, there is metered street parking on side streets offering 1 or 10 hour parking. Avoid parking in the residential neighborhoods in the evening if you want to avoid a ticket.
You can get a 5% discount off your purchase if you share upcoming visit with Enigma in a Facebook post. The link is available on their website, but depending on how you feel about spamming your friends, then this may or may not be worth it.

Two months ago I had stopped by enigma and tried the secret temple with a few friends from work and I had a blast going through the room and solving puzzles! Just came back again last weekend to try out their newest room, the Will, and it really showed me how lacking I am on my puzzle skills, lol.
The will had so many things right! Not too many puzzles to manage, but that doesn’t mean they won’t make your brain hurt in a good way. They also incorporated some really flashy tech that made the next moment thrilling! Now all we have left is to tackle Apartment 205 and we are golden. Can’t wait to come back for a third time

Had the best time tonight in Apartment 205! Our group of 4 loved the clues and figuring out how to deactivate the bomb for our first escape room.
We can’t wait to do more :)
Very impressed! Our group had a great time.

I’m still so pumped from just saving millions of lives! I just got out of Apt. 205 with 2 other friends at Enigma Escape Rooms, and I have to say Bravo!
I haven’t seen my college friends in a while because we’ve all been busy with work and never seem to catch some time to hang out. Today we all happen to have a few hours to kill, so we called up Enigma because we’ve been dying to try it out. Not only was the staff incredibly friendly, but there was also parking (which is a huge plus)!
We got there, they greeted us at the top of the stairs very nicely, we were told a little of what to expect, then we waited about 30 seconds and someone came out, and we got started.
The storyline is awesome! The actor there was so committed it made our experience so much better! The puzzles were challenging, the adrenaline was pumping, and my friends and I had a killer time!
Totally worth the time and money! I can’t wait to go back and do The Will!

We went to check out the secret temple and the experience was great. Everyone in our group loved it. There were so many surprises which made this intense game a lot more fun. Not many people know about this kind of fun, so I recommend organizing this for your friends or family as a surprise gift.

I’ve done all three rooms at Enigma and they are all a blast!!! Really great time with friends — you will not go home disappointed. I just went yesterday with my best friend (only 2 people which can be super tough!) and we got out of the Secret Temple with 2 minutes to spare!
The Will is really great — high tech room with a lot of cool surprises.
Apartment 205 has such a great back story — I probably had the most fun in this room!
The staff is so nice and really friendly — they probably have as much fun watching as we do playing LOL :)

I’ve been doing escape rooms for the last year and a half, and I’ve racked up around 15 rooms. Some were awesome, some were a bit disappointing. But by far my favorite, and in my opinion, the best, are the rooms at Enigma Escape Rooms. I did The Will, and that room alone had me stumped for a good while. It was so intricately designed that figuring anything out was a huge rewarding feeling! I was incredibly impressed with the lengths they went to to provide such a phenomenal experience! The Secret Temple and Apartment 205 did not fall short either, great rooms, great production value. Good for both first timers and experienced junkies.
Will be back when the new rooms open!

AWESOME TIME!
I really enjoyed my time at enigma escape rooms. We wanted to have dinner and then go to our escape adventure, we called Enigma prior and they were so nice suggesting restaurants around them! We went to Xai! — and it didn’t disappoint!
Right after we headed to enigma — we booked «the secret temple» as it was 7 of us and we got a discounted rate for booking the whole room.
The escape room was very well produced and there were a few surprises that left our mouths open lol.
Highly recommend.

Secret Temple was our first attempt at an escape room. We booked the room in advance and prayed that everyone would show up on time.
We had a blast and won with 20 seconds to spare!
Best advice is not to all gather over one clue but split up /​divide and conquer.
So much fun!

My friends and I came here for our first attempt at an escape room. We signed up for the Secret Temple room.
The location:
–It looks like an apartment building. You can park behind, and then you walk in the main entrance, up the stairs, and it’s the first door on the right once you’re up.
The service:
–Two of my friends were running late, but they were willing to wait and were super nice about it.
The experience:
–Having never done one of these before, we were super confused at first. They literally just put us in a room and let us have at it.
–BUT once you start finding clues, it becomes quite engaging and the time flies right by.
–There is someone in the room with you who you can ask for hints from after the first 35 minutes are up. This person also makes announcements as important clues are uncovered.
–We never would have solved this room without him. He would repeat statements and clues to us repeatedly as we were making mistakes, as if to say ‘No, no, please don’t do that’. Some of our ideas were so ridiculous he would say something along the lines of ‘I do not think they would make you do that’.
–This person somehow maintained a straight face the entire time, despite our profanity-​laden confusion and general flailing about. What professionalism.
Overall, we had a blast! I would definitely try this activity again, and the Secret Temple is a great room for beginners.

What can I say, this is one of the funnest experiences I had for a long time!
I recommend the secret temple! Website is super cool and easy to book — ALSO they have this new discount system on the website so you can get 5% code from the website on top of the discounted rate when booking out the full room !
I enjoyed it a lot and it’s a 5 star from me!

So so good! I have done more then 10 escape rooms (including 3 of enigmas) and ENIGMA ones are the BEST!!! Very high production value — lots of different tech in all 3 rooms and clever clever puzzles that are very in theme with the stories.
I very recommend «the secret temple» for larger groups and if you call them and book the full room they will let you bring up to 10 – 11 into the room for extra 30 $ per ticket.
I also highly recommend «apartment 205» for people who love being immersed into the story. Probably the most uniq escape room I have done and very realistic! You won’t be disappointed.

Great afternoon spent with enigma escape rooms! Me and my friends got together before the holidays and wanted to do something different since we were all stuck in town. I had heard about escape rooms online and we tried apartment 205 and did the will right after.
Both rooms were very different in the puzzles but just as challenging and fun. We started with apartment and since we were amazing, we got to start the will a bit early. :) it
Wonderful staff, all the puzzles made sense with each room, and now we want to come back after the new year to try the secret temple!

The best escape room I have done so far.
You can feel the work that was put behind these room and the puzzles are very uniq and creative.
Each room is a completely different experience in terms of the type of puzzles and way of thinking, high quality stuff right here!
Thanks Enigma

This company is truly top notch. The owners are friendly and passionate about their business. The business is run at a top level of professionalism. The rooms are amazing. The location is good. Parking is fairly easy. I can’t say enough good things about Enigma or tell enough people about them. Every time a friend asks which Escape Games they should try I tell them about Enigma. (I’m the go to person for my friends because I’ve played over 60 escape games.)
I played their newest room tonight… The Will. It’s really cool. The game is well designed in both décor and puzzles. The technology is outstanding. It’s a very unique & immersive experience.
I still think Apt 205 is my favorite just because I found it a bit more intense and exciting and it has one of my favorite puzzles in it. I like the actor aspect as well. Both the Apt & Temple have actors, the Will does not.

Read my previous review as well.

After hearing about escape rooms from a fellow co-​worker I decided to get a few friends together to try one out!
I looked around online and eventually came upon Enigma and after looking at all of the reviews we went and booked the Secret Temple. The website was really simple to navigate and we received a confirmation email with all of the details we needed.
Once we arrived at the building, we were greeted by our host with a friendly smile and really hyped us up for what was about to come. After all of the rules and backstory, we were then led to our room. The room had a bit of a National Treasure feel and there was a lot of character to the room. The puzzles were well thought out and it really made us rack our brains trying to get everything solved.
We did have to use our two hints to escape but the whole adventure was just a great experience all together and we escape with only a minute to spare. We are looking forward to coming back and trying another room in the near future here.

This was my very 1^st time trying out the escape games and overall it was a pretty interesting experience.
To book a game, you’ll need to reserve on their website. One ticket is $ 30 per person and you must be 14+ years old to play. Currently there are two rooms to solve: the Secret Temple and the Apartment 205 and each game lasts 60-​minutes. Each game comes with two hints, but you are prohibited from using any hints in the first 30 minutes and everyone in the room must be in an agreement in order to use a hint. Oh yea, you can’t take any pictures during the game.
There’s a private parking lot behind the building and you’ll need to park at the designated parking spots (check with the staff for the designated parking numbers).
***
Our group did the Secret Temples and we were told the successful rate without using any hints is approximately 15 ~ 20%. Ultimately we were able to solve the Secret Temples in 54 minutes and used up one hint. Personally I think the game was a bit confusing and pretty random too. Well … maybe I just wasn’t smart enough to figure everything out.
***
It was a good team-​building experience and I would recommend Enigma to puzzle game junkies.

Awesome experience! I think it’s very unique although i’ve only been to the Exit game. But reading all the reviews, this would be one of the top.
This experience is for sure worth it. Me and my co-​workers have tried the Secret Temple, and Boy, our mind was boggled! They really put a lot of effort and thought with the puzzles and combinations. Lots and lots of surprises.
I love how they have a narrator with you who’s a really good actress. You can ask for a hint which i suggest, would be really helpful to get out.
Online booking was great, they have a really good website, easy to navigate and great price!
Parking is not bad, you have a few parking space at the back of the building. Great Area, and i love the interior setting.
Can’t wait to try Apartment 205!!!
