Escape My Room

I absolutely LOVE this room! Their attention to details are on point! I especially loved the telephone at the beginning. It got us in the mood right away and set the tone for the game. Clues were well thought out and intricate. Loved all the props and décor. Staff was really nice. I loved that they included New Orleans lore. I feel like this city is made for this kind of adventure.
My only complaint would be that the «bonus clues» are a bit distracting but did not stop us from solving the room. Cannot wait to try out their new room!

The kids (three 16-​year-​old boys) had a great time! The 5 people they were with during this Escape Game were a bit annoying, but they still had fun. You never know who you’ll be grouped with, so just make the best of it.
This place had a recording you could call and listen to with detailed instructions, directions, etc. They were nice and helpful. I recommend this place if you are ever in New Orleans.
The only thing I could suggest for the company to do is put a large sign outside the entrance stating what to do in more detail in case you don’t know about the phone recording. I saw a group of people go in the entrance room (perfume room) and walk right back out and leave, because they were confused about waiting/​what to do. It was raining, so I couldn’t get out of the car to tell them what to do. The only reason we knew what to do is because I called to verify we were in the right place/​room. Other than that, it was fine!

This was the first time ever doing escape the room here in New Orleans and unfortunately my first time was a little disappointing. Not AT ALL due to the staff or the room, it was due to the other «investors «who had already played that particular room and already knew all the clues. Not so much fun for someone who’s never done it. Luckily our room host, Nathaniel, noticed that we didn’t have that great of a time and told me he would refund me because that’s not the experience they wanted us to have. I thought that was the nicest thing and I appreciate it so much. We were planning to come back anyway regardless of this experience but for him to offer that to us made me want to come back even more. Again, this place was great, the staff was amazing and I can’t wait to go back!!!
Thank you so much Nathaniel, you made our night.

One of the best escape rooms I’ve been to. Tough puzzles and well done. Very nice décor. Whole thing was legit

Loved this interactive puzzle game! This is the first escape room we have experienced so the fact that there were so many clues made it a little difficult to figure out however the assistant did help us out in some points to nudge us along. I wish we would have had longer to try to escape. With how involved the clues you almost need at least 1 ½ hours. But we still had fun and they showed us everything we missed at the end. It was fun to try to work together our group was small with two people. It would be more fun and less pressure if there were the max of ten people. I also don’t recommend drinking before the game, our group missed some of the obvious clues but still managed to have a great time! Definitely something you need to stop by with in New Orleans. Our assistant was also very sweet and helpful, I wish I could remember her name but she let us know of a few other places to visit while in New Orleans. Can’t wait to go back next time we are in town they are opening a new room soon!

I wish I could give 10 stars! This was the highlight of our mini vacation (weekend vacation). I can’t begin to explain how much fun and exciting it was. Being in a time crunch made it a little more difficult but as you make it out it gets more and more interesting. Basically you have to go here and ESCAPE, if you can…

Loved this! When that phone rang (you’ll find out), I went giddy! It was exciting. Rose is darling. They puzzles were challenging, but doable and the ambiance was perfect. Luckily, we had two super smart kids in our party who helped us old folks out a lot. We escaped! We definitely found a new activity.

This is a very well thought out game. There is plenty to do and the storyline is fun and the puzzles are interesting. Elizabeth was great. She gave us just enough help through the intercom. Thank you!

Really, really well done and a hell of a lot of fun. The owners and staff did a great job creating an eerie and mysterious setting to set the mood. The details and the varying complexity of the puzzles kept everyone excited and engaged for the full hour. We had a group of 5 and there was more than plenty to keep us entertained and challenged.

I had an absolutely FANTASTIC time!
Not gonna lie, we were a little nervous about going since more of our friends talked about the other escape room in the city, and when we got there, the post office building was a litttttttle sketchy. But once inside, it was fantastic. I can’t remember the lady’s name who was our host, but she was great. The room was fun, the story line was cute, and of course our group of friends was so competitive, and we got out of the room with 15 minutes to spare. Do yourself a favor and check this place out.

GREAT experience! The storyline is creative, and the décor is hauntingly delightful. Very eclectic, especially heightened with New Orleans history and culture to make it a more special experience than would be in other cities.
This is a great team building activity as everyone works together to solve puzzles and HOPEFULLY escape.
Katie, our guide, was fantastic! A great activity for rainy weather as a tourist or a local. I can’t wait to go back to their new location with a different storyline.

I went here yesterday evening for a Unilocal Elite event and had a blast! It was so refreshing to do something different and completely out of the ordinary. The storyline/​theme was really interesting. I think this would be such a great activity for team building because you really need to work together to solve the puzzles. The lovely people who work here told us that they will be moving locations soon and opening another room. I can’t wait!

Soooooooooo fun!!!
Due to the fact that I was paired with two MORONS (Todd K. and Brad R.) we didn’t escape, but we had a great time trying.
There are fun costumes, just enough help to keep you moving through the clues and a really great carefree kind of vibe about this place. I hope to try another one soon!
Thanks to Katie and Morgran for putting on a great little adventure for me and my team of nincompoops ;)

I’ve been to a lot of escape rooms (50+) and I really thought this one was fun. There were a lot of puzzles and they fit together well with the theme. They allowed us to book our game the same day. The staff was nice. The atmosphere was fun and creative. It’s not a high tech room, but that wouldn’t fit the theme of the room anyway. This is really fun group activity in Nola.

J’ai beaucoup plus aimé cette room que celle de Clue Carré pas loin.
Déjà niveau décoration on était vraiment dans le thème et niveau énigmes elles étaient variées avec pas mal de découvertes par rapport à mes expériences passées.
Certaines étaient d’ailleurs assez corsées!
On a été regroupé avec deux autres couples et d’un côté tant mieux car vu tout ce qu’il y avait à faire on était pas trop de six cerveaux!
Seul bémol les indices étaient donnés via un interphone donc on entendait pas très bien et le temps qui restait n’était pas précis car donné par une grosse horloge non numérique.

I’ve always loved how escape games can bring a group of people together, whether you’re a group of close friends or complete strangers. And the complex puzzle of the DeLaporte family in Escape My Room is no exception! Having been to a few escape games, I think this is definitely one of the more intricate ones, with a bonus puzzle for those who are willing to take on the challenge. You’ll definitely want to share every clue that you have with your teammates, and my advice would be to separate into smaller groups to tackle different parts of the puzzle because trust me, there’s a lot to figure out in each room. I think it would be nearly impossible to figure out the puzzle without hints, so thank goodness there are an unlimited number of them. However, I do admit it’s a little more satisfying to figure out the puzzles on your own with minimal hints, so perhaps it’d be better to just give more time rather than more hints. Regardless, I had a lovely time here at Escape My Room and I wish I would be back in NOLA for the release of their next escape game, which comes out in the next month or so.

Escape My Room is one crazy, cool historical time warp into the lives of the prominent, yet secretive DeLaporte family of New Orleans. I’ve played one of these games before (shout out to Omescape in Richmond, CA!). I continue to appreciate how inventive and collaborative these types of games are. Escape games are incredible team building exercises and an excellent way to form new friendships quickly and easily. I was impressed with how well my team worked together, with each team member providing different perspectives on the clues. True, there were times when we could have shared what we found a little better, but overall we pulled it together and escaped, just in the nick of time.
Our team unraveled the secrets of the «Mardi Gras Study» set in the den of Ms. Odette DeLaporte in the 1990s. We searched high and low for clues leading to her prized treasure, rifling through real family heirlooms of the DeLaporte family. The room itself was drenched in lavish, brightly colored fabrics and curiously enchanting objects. It was incredibly fun working alongside team members trying to solve puzzles and think outside the box. Ms. DeLaporte’s assistant provided hints all along the way through a speaker in the room when we needed a gentle nudge in the right direction. Unfortunately, the hints could only be heard from one central location of the room. One of us often had to be the reporter for the rest of the group, which was fine, but it did hinder efficiency to a minor degree.
New Orleans is the perfect backdrop for escape room games, and I’m so glad that I found it and was able to participate. It was really fun, and I am glad Ms. DeLaporte’s assistant helped us with all the extra hints (which is often not the case in escape game rooms, which limit your hints to one or two!). I would wholeheartedly recommend this experience to friends. And I’m happy to report that my track record is 2 for 2 on escaping the rooms.
Note: You will need to enter the US Postal Service Building on Loyola Avenue to reach Escape My Room. There is a guard who will monitor your entrance. Use the buzzer prior to opening the door or you’ll get scolded like we did, lol! $ 28 per person, maximum of 7 people per team, one hour to escape! Bonus puzzles for those who finish early!

Awesome time! We had a great time here. The owner stayed almost an hour late with us and stayed actively involved in our hunt to solve the puzzles. There’s no way we could have done it with out her hints!

I’ve been to a few escape rooms in various cities, and Escape My Room is the best I’ve been to so far.
One thing that has driven me nuts about all the others I’ve been to is that they had no story. There was no explanation for what this room was, why you’re locked in it, etc. Not only does Escape My Room’s first room have a cool story & history behind it, but they said that the other rooms they open later on will continue the same story. I can’t wait to dive in deeper into the DeLaporte family history and learn more about what’s going on with them.
Escape My Room also has very satisfying physical puzzles to solve. There’s the primary puzzle you need to solve to escape, and a bonus puzzle if you get through that early, so there’s plenty of good puzzle awaiting you!
I can’t wait for their next room!

A ton of fun and highly recommended. I didn’t think this would be for me but it WAS and I want you to experience what I experienced. Go!

I did my first escape room here, and it was really incredibly awesome. The story behind the family that unravels as you’re going through the room is soooo cool and rich in history. I would totally do this again at a different location, everyone was intricately placed and so much fun to work with people.
I was on vacation with my girlfriend and we were looking for something unusual to do. This was definitely a great choice! You should do this when you come to New Orleans. It costs about $ 50.00 a person, but for the hour you’re immersed in the room, it’s TOTALLY worth it. The hostess was so nice too, and you could tell she had a great relationship with the owning family.
Definitely go!
