From the first time I called to book, to the lounge drinks before and after our game, I was impressed. – The customer service is exceptionally accommodating and friendly. Then I came back twice more for date nights and did Houdini’s Hideout and Orient Express. The first time I took my two kids, 8 and 11, and we did Bonnie and Clyde’s Great Getaway. I’ve been here three times now and I can’t wait for more of their rooms to open. I was pleasantly surprised, however, to find this gem in the valley.

I’ve done my fair share of escape rooms so my standards are a bit on the “picky” side now. I very much recommend The Architect’s rooms and I am looking forward to coming back and tackling the other two that they have now, as well as looking forward to the new rooms they have on the horizon. While I have seen other vendors’ websites rank a room’s difficulty, I’ve never seen that particular kind of breakdown and I very much enjoyed it. My two fellow escapees were experiencing their first room, and couldn’t stop gushing as we headed home afterward.Īs an added bonus – the room descriptions on the website have the nice touch of showing the kind of environment and puzzle -solving skills needed for each room which allowed us to help pick the room that would have the best group experience. Not only was the room here well constructed, the puzzles well constructed, and the immersion nicely implemented, the staff (Josh, the night we attended) were friendly, communicative, and helpful.

I’ve done quite a few escape rooms from various vendors, and I have to say that this experience (Houdini’s Hideout) was easily in the top 5.

Challenging, inventive, fun, and friendly.
