Shaz was a great host for our group! We completed the Dark Room with 9 people and not one hint with a time of 23:47. Highly recommend going yourself and trying to beat our informal record! (No pictures of the room itself because we locked away all devices in the handy lockers provided)

LOVE this escape room. My partner and I have done every room and will be coming back as soon as they open new ones. The staff is awesome, the clues when you're stuck aren't too leading, and the rooms are challenging.

Had a great time doing The Experiment with a group of 4 friends. We didn’t make it out, but Chaz made the experience still just as fun! Interesting and creative puzzles, perfect for Halloween season or any season 🎃

I can't recommend ROOM5280 enough for team-building events! Our group of 16 had an incredible time solving puzzles and working together to escape. Natalia was fantastic in her communication, showing exceptional flexibility and assistance throughout the booking process. Kudos to the entire team for creating an engaging and memorable event!

Last night, a few friends of mine and I escaped The Dark Room! We worked our way through puzzles and tried not to lose our heads when we were anxious and stumped. With the help of our amazing gamemaster, Miguel, we were able to keep our heads and get dialed in on the right way to get out.Highly recommend this escape room having completed several escape rooms, this one was a fun experience for sure. Also felt great that we were the only ones to escape in time for that room yesterday! Miguel was great at giving backstory and clues when needed. Thanks Miguel!

Our 1st (of hopefully many) experiences. SO MUCH FUN - the kids and the adults were laughing with delight throughout. Real movie like suprises! Especially fun because everyone doesn't have to work on the same puzzle for the team to get ahead. Staff was super, they obviously had things perfected. Will definitely surprises! WARNING : 60 MIN can't leave room wo WC, plan ahead and go bathroom ahead of time!

Excellent! We loved this room. We did the Experiment and had so much fun. It is multiple rooms with a lot of great puzzles. We have done many escape rooms in different cities and this is one of the best experiences!

Great Customer Service! Miguel was friendly, very supporting, and take care of every detail. He did the extra-mile to allow us have a good time. Regarding the Escape Room (The Dark Room) is quite challenging since you operate with your team in a dark environment and need coordination and team work to succeed. I’ll be back sooner than later !

Shaz made the whole experience super fun! I went with 6 others for a bachelor trip and we did “The Dark Room”. It was definitely a major highlight of our trip 🙂

Such a fun place!! We’ve done 2 escape rooms here and they were both amazing - the puzzles were tricky and the entire setup was brilliant. Yuki was there both times and did a great job guiding us. I really liked that once you making a booking for a room, no one else can I.e. it is reserved just for your party.

We had an awesome time on a Sunday afternoon. Parking was easy, amazingly. Seth, our host, struck a wonderful balance introducing us to the room - humor and fun and realistic expectations with a dash of amusing spookiness. Four of us worked on the puzzles; only one had done this before. We did succeed but needed more than a few hints. (We overthought a few things!). Seth was nice enough to explain more of the actual science and history (and our mistakes!) after it was all over. Definitely highly recommend!

10/10 great experience! Our group did the heist themed room and had a blast. Shaz helped us out a ton and put up with our shenanigans😂. Already planning our next trip back!

This was so much fun! Definitely not mad that we were one clue away from completing the room! It was clever, and had really interesting puzzles. The attendant was also very friendly and funny. We will definitely be back to try a different room!

Great experience! The Heist was perfect for four people (can’t do it with less than that FYI). Shaz was a funny and helpful host and took good care of us. Puzzles to get you warmed up in the waiting room are a great touch!

My homie Shaz was terrific, just a super stand up guy. Very attentive to us, appreciate it my guy. Shazam. Even though I didn’t contribute my skills (because that was difficult), my team still won! Just wanted to put that out there.

First of all, huge thanks to the staff for letting me and my group in after being late. Seth still took the time to go over the necessary rules. With that out of the way, the escape room itself was very good. I won't say too much about it since I don't want to ruin it for anyone but expect... darkness. Flashlight will be your friend. There was quite a few more interactive puzzles which is always nice. As Seth explained, no outside knowledge necessary. Everything you need is in the room. But as it shows on the website, success rate is 40% for a reason. My group was 3 total including me. I don't necessarily think more people would be better. Had to use 3 clues and still didn't make it. Not saying it requires rocket tho. But it was definitely the hardest one yet. Nevertheless, everyone was super nice and helpful and definitely had a very good experience.

As a person who has done many escape rooms. The Dark Room that Room 5280 has is honestly one of the best escape rooms I can easily recommend to someone who hasn’t tried an escape room or a veteran escape room player. The theme of the room was so unique that if I spoil it. I would be doing a huge disservice to the amazing team that made it. Huge thanks to our host Chuck! You were awesome! 😊

I read all the negative reviews first, and i can say you should probably ignore them. Our group of 4 is fairly experienced in escape rooms. We have done them all over the country and is a hobby of mine. Of the 30 or so that my wife and i have done, we have only not escaped 1. We did the experiment followed by the heist, back to back. We escaped both! But that is no way a knock on either room, they are CHALLENGING!! They are also a fun time! Seth, our GM, was awesome. He brought lots of positive energy, even at the end of the day, it was 11PM and Seth was all about the game, and making it a fun experience for all of us. We will be back because we have to do the last one, The Dark Room. If they came up with a new one, we would also be back.

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!
