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 !

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!

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! 😊

Chuck was an excellent host and The Dark Room was a blast!

Jeff Muñoz

13:11 11 Jun 23

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!

Nivedita Joshi

Have done two of their rooms (The Heist & The Experiment) and had so much fun! Very nice room concepts and the things in the rooms are all very well thought out. Highly recommend.

Eric Meyer

We came late but they were very cool about it. We had a great time and escaped their most difficult room "the Experiment"!

Priyanka Patel

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.

Dahlia Grayson (Lia)

14:46 01 May 23

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!

Brian McFarlane

05:25 24 Apr 23

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!

Sachin Raghunathan

03:28 24 Apr 23

We tried the "Experiment" and it was just incredible. Super well designed and it made us feel like we were actually doing science. Very well designed room

Annette Nunamaker

The Experiment was great! We are experienced escape room fans and we really enjoyed the tech and flow of this room. Can't wait to try one of their other rooms!

Kaitlin Losansky

We escape from The Heist, which was one of the most satisfying rooms I've done to date! Chuck was a lovely game master and made the experience all the more fun. Awesome experience!

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!

Jeffrey Gilbert

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 were made to feeeel like accomplished sleuths! We recently decided as a family, to celebrate the dads in the family to a fun, new activity for Father's Day. We were not disappointed! We participated in the "Heist" where the simple room was thoughtfully designed to intensively give our group a good mental jiu jitsu workout. The meticulous details of this live puzzle were impressive. Although we were not able to finish, we were consoled to learn that this is the hardest of their current puzzles, with only 30% of participants able to solve it. I would rather it be fabulously challenging than to be so easy that we might have a lot of time left. The hosts were amazingly accommodating and clearly pretty genius themselves. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and look forward to a return visit for another one of their brainy offerings!

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.

Patrick was amazing! The puzzle and room setup was impressive! I can’t wait to go back and try the next escape room with a group of friends. Highly recommend if you love solving mysteries and enjoy creative problem solving 🙂

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 came late but they were very cool about it. We had a great time and escaped their most difficult room "the Experiment"!

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!

The Experiment was great! We are experienced escape room fans and we really enjoyed the tech and flow of this room. Can't wait to try one of their other rooms!

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 were made to feeeel like accomplished sleuths! We recently decided as a family, to celebrate the dads in the family to a fun, new activity for Father's Day. We were not disappointed! We participated in the "Heist" where the simple room was thoughtfully designed to intensively give our group a good mental jiu jitsu workout. The meticulous details of this live puzzle were impressive. Although we were not able to finish, we were consoled to learn that this is the hardest of their current puzzles, with only 30% of participants able to solve it. I would rather it be fabulously challenging than to be so easy that we might have a lot of time left. The hosts were amazingly accommodating and clearly pretty genius themselves. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and look forward to a return visit for another one of their brainy offerings!

We played Darkness and Experiment today as a two. Both are really great rooms - challenging and very enjoyable. The owners are also very friendly, enthusiastic, and helpful. Thoroughly recommend any of their rooms based on what I saw - we're in the 30 odd game range, so we've seen a few! 🙂
