Our visit to the escape room was a blast! It's the best one we've ever been to. The entire experience was well-organized, with everything functioning smoothly. 'The Heist' game was intriguing, logical, and highly entertaining. It was a fantastic team-building activity for our group of 9, and we successfully escaped. I highly recommend this game to my friends. Prepare for an unforgettable adventure!

We were six people and did “The Heist” room. It was an amazing experience. Chuck you were awesome! We were late by 30 minutes because of traffic and they were so nice to move our reservations. A must go.

Easily within my top 3 companies for escape room games. We went for "The Experiment" and now I cant wait to go into the next one!!Been through over 30 escape rooms with different places and the difficulty is definitely a tad up there. Though as long as you keep talking and work together, it's absolutely doable!Finally, keep an eye out when finding the place. Like most escape rooms, its just a random door in a wall. But if you follow their great instructions and google maps, you'll spot it! Always think of finding the place as step one of your escape room experience!

We made a mistake on the date of our reservation. Rather than telling our group to come back later, they worked us in and we had a great time. The staff were super friendly, helpful, and passionate about the games. Going back to do the other rooms!

Our group of 13-year-old girls had a ball and Patrick, our host was fun, kind and helpful so that even though they didn't solve the whole thing, they left feeling triumphant.

My team members and I chose ROOM5280 as our quarterly team-bonding event, and it was a GREAT choice!! Event planning was a breeze. The game was fun and exciting and our game master was fantastic! I definitely recommend this to anyone; whether it is a team-bonding event, or just a group of friends looking for a good time!

We took our leadership team and the ten of us had an epic time. We didn’t know what to expect and the expectations weren’t high, but after successfully winning the challenge we plan on returning for another epic escape room. What a great team building activity. I highly recommend!

We love ROOM5280! It’s our third time solving their rooms and they have not disappointed us. The staff, especially our guide Chuck, was helpful and encouraging, making the experience extra enjoyable! We were able to escape The Heist with just a little more than two minutes left, and we really felt like we were on our A-game, so it was a challenging but very rewarding experience! Would definitely recommend!

I've gone to this location twice, and both times had a ton of fun! The clues are inventive and challenging, but not impossible, and the hosts are fantastic.

My friends visiting from Miami and I had such an amazing time here tackling The Heist! We knew going into it that it was one of the trickier rooms, but the aesthetic called to us. We had an awesome time and the puzzle room host Chuck was great and really made the experience special.Ps. We love u Chuck and be sure to do a little dance for us

Me and my group of 4 did “TheHeist” and it was AWESOME. Super fun and challenging! The space is awesome, the staff was great, it felt super clean and safe and they really think of everything! We especially enjoyed the staff member who helped us- Chuck! They were super cool and knowledgeable! We will be back!

We did The Heist as a group of four - two of us had never done an escape room, one had only once, and one more experienced. We escaped!We loved our game master Chuck who told us that the success rate for escaping that room is like 16%, typically with 7-8 experienced players and an average of 8 hints. We did not have that many players or experience, and used only 2.5 hints! We had about 20 seconds left to spare I think!I loved that Chuck took the time to show off the puzzles they created and I will definitely be back for the dark room!

Our group did the Heist for our homecoming and James made our night. He watched us do grand jetés in front of the cameras to ask for hints and took pictures of us at the end. The Heist was a fun escape room for our large group, was challenging but flowed well. We were able to escape within the time limit with only a couple hints. Had an awesome night with my friends, would recommend to anyone who wants to have a night of fun!

BEST ESCAPE ROOM EVER!! we did the heist with 10 people and it kept everyone entertained. it was intense but gave time for fun and messing around and many laughs. you can control how much external help you get, so it’s very adaptable to the preferences of your group. james was the most mvp staff member ever, i honestly feel like we made a lifelong friend. i will literally never forget how hilarious and fun he was, or the spectacular evening my friends and i enjoyed at room 5280!!
