Ooof..

The guide gave us quick vague instructions and she kept disappearing. The good thing that I thank her for is we were running behind and she let me move my time. Game was just a waste of money. It’s the worst I’ve ever done and I’ve done about 50, my kids even agree.

Operator response

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We appreciate you recognizing that our game master accommodated your group by moving your reservation time. However, we’re sorry that the instructions and overall experience did not meet your expectations, especially considering your experience with other escape rooms. Our game masters should remain attentive and provide clear guidance when needed. We will review your concerns with our team because we never want anyone to leave feeling that their visit was a waste of money.

Cartel experience

It was fun but we had to press the clue button multiple times before a clue would show…secondly one of the foot locks was the same as another n we were five four different codes so one of the codes was a ghost code…just wish the clues were faster and a little more precise

Operator response

Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you still had fun, but we apologize for the delays with the clue system and the confusion caused by the duplicate lock and unused code. Clues should appear promptly and clearly, and every code should have a purpose. We’re reviewing the room setup and clue system so this does not affect future guests. We appreciate you bringing these issues to our attention.

Great First Experience (of many!)

Great first experience at Mind Busting. The story and room were top tier, and just the right level of challenging. Tate was a great game master and we appreciated his help very much! We will be back for some of the other rooms!

Operator response

Thank you for the amazing 5-star review! We’re glad your first experience at Mind Busting was a great one and that you enjoyed the story, room design, and level of challenge. We’ll be sure to let Tate know how much you appreciated his help. We look forward to having you back to try some of our other rooms!

Good experience

It was amazing experience and the game master was really good at introducing the game. He made it feel like I was actually captured by cartel. It was amazing!

Operator response

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear you had such an amazing experience. Our game masters work hard to make the story feel immersive, and we’re so glad the introduction helped you feel like you were truly part of the adventure. We appreciate you visiting and hope to see you back soon for another exciting escape room experience!

Skip it

The game props are worn out, so even if you’re doing it right it doesn’t quite work, or won’t open, etc. Also the person checking us in was incredibly unfriendly. We clearly ruined his day by showing up.

Operator response

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We’re very sorry to hear that your experience was not up to the standards we aim to provide. We apologize for the issues you encountered with the room props. Our games are designed to be immersive and smooth, and if any elements were worn or not functioning properly, that is something we take seriously and will be addressing with our maintenance team. We are also truly sorry that you felt the check-in experience was unfriendly. Every guest should feel welcomed and appreciated from the moment they arrive, and we regret that this was not the impression you received. We value your comments, as they help us improve both our rooms and our customer service. Thank you again for sharing your experience, and we hope you might consider giving us another opportunity in the future.

Not a good escape room experience

Unfortunately, even though I was looking forward to a great time, the experience was bad. The room was very hot. The fan had so much dirt built up on the cover that the air did not blow through. Apparently, the fan had not been cleaned in over a decade. At the end, the guide did not explain what we did wrong or why we did not escape (even though he said he would at the beginning of the tour).

Operator response

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re truly sorry to hear that your visit did not meet your expectations. We apologize for the uncomfortable temperature in the room and for the condition of the fan. Cleanliness and guest comfort are extremely important to us, and we take your comments seriously. We will be addressing this immediately to ensure the room environment is properly maintained moving forward. We also regret that your game guide did not provide the explanation promised at the end of your experience. We understand how important it is to review what happened in the room, especially after putting in the effort to solve the puzzles, and we’re sorry that this part of the experience was missed. Never heard someone expecting not to escape at the beginning so much so that they asked if we would tell them what they missed before even doing the room. We appreciate your feedback, as it helps us improve, and we hope you will consider giving us another chance in the future.

Best Escape Room Experience

This was the best escape room experience ever. It was so good that we came back and did another one a few hours later. The owner was super cool and funny.

Operator response

Thank you so much for the amazing review! We’re thrilled to hear you had such an awesome first escape room experience with us. We’re glad you found it challenging but still fun, and that our host helped make the adventure even more enjoyable with some humor along the way. It means a lot to hear you describe us as a “hidden gem,” and we love that you’d recommend it for everyone — families, friends, couples, and even work events. We truly appreciate your support and can’t wait to welcome you back for another great escape!

Unsmart!?!

We had a blast!! Left my friends and I feeling kinda “unsmart!” We had to ask for clues and still ran out of time!! I’d love to do it again!! Next time we need to unshackle ourselves FIRST…😆🔥🔥

Operator response

Thank you so much for the fun review! We’re thrilled to hear you and your friends had a blast. Don’t worry — even the smartest teams need a few clues sometimes, and running out of time just means you were right at the finish line! 😄 We love your takeaway… yes, unshackling yourselves first is definitely a good strategy for next time! 🔥 We’d be excited to have you back again for another attempt and another great adventure.

The game master makes or breaks an escape room and this one broke it.

Compared to other escape rooms in the area with the same price, this place was a real let down. The room itself wasn’t terrible, rather mediocre but understandable given I’m not sure it was a chain, but the game master treated us poorly. He called my boyfriend a mf and essentially belittled us on and off as we were trying to figure out the room. At the end of the game, he acted like we should have known something that was apparently written on the wall that, despite shining the blue light everywhere, we never saw. He appeared to be in a bad mood the entire time we were there and actively discouraged us against leaving a review. He also refused to take a picture with my phone, taking it with his instead, and posted our photo on social media (without asking) in such a way that the only way to get our picture was to have social media. As a result, I did not get a copy of our photo. We will not be coming back to this escape room.

Operator response

First off, we do not mean to belittle anyone with our clues. If you read some of our good reviews, you will see that people often have a blast with the way we run our rooms by joking around with them a little throughout the game. I’m sorry if you feel you shined the black light everywhere, but it is obvious you did not, as many other guests find the clues successfully, and we’ve had people solve this same room with no clues at all. We do not discourage people from leaving a review. I simply say, “Please leave a review if you enjoyed yourself. If not, please keep all negativity to yourself.” Most people laugh and go about their day, as they take it as a joke. But considering your review, I guess you may not have understood it that way. We do take pictures of groups in the room on our phones, but people often ask us to take them with their phone instead, and we are happy to do so. You do not need to have an account to receive the picture, and if you ever asked us to remove it, we absolutely would.
