How it works
Great Room Escape offers interactive escape room experiences where participants work together to solve puzzles and complete tasks to exit a room within a given time. Some of the escape themes include the Houdini Room, where players have an hour to figure out the mystery behind Houdini's disappearance. In the Cabin Room, participants find themselves in a horror setting and must devise a plan to escape from a serial killer lurking in the woods. The Countdown Room challenges players to disarm a missile, adding urgency as they aim to save the city before time runs out.
A distinctive feature of this company is the use of live actors in some scenarios, which adds an extra layer of engagement and realism during the game. The company also provides options for private bookings, allowing groups to have exclusive access for events like birthday parties or group activities. This setup is tailored for groups seeking an engaging and collaborative experience.

Our Review
Updated
Our first impression of Great Room Escape is that it offers a dynamic and immersive team building experience, particularly suited for teams that thrive on problem-solving and collaboration. The use of live actors in some scenarios is a standout feature, providing an added layer of engagement that can enhance the realism and intensity of the escape room experience. This can be particularly beneficial for creative and analytical teams looking to challenge their critical thinking skills in a high-pressure environment.
One thing to keep in mind is that while these escape rooms are excellent for fostering teamwork and communication, they may not be the best fit for very large groups or newly formed teams. The complexity and urgency of the scenarios, such as disarming a missile or escaping from a horror setting, might be overwhelming for participants who are not yet comfortable with each other. However, established teams or smaller groups will likely find the private booking option appealing, as it allows them to focus on collaboration without external distractions. Overall, Great Room Escape provides an engaging platform for team building, but careful consideration should be given to the team's dynamics and size when planning an event here.
