Amazing place. The ingenuity and detail the designer puts in to these rooms are insanely intricate. All around a great experience. My wife and I did two of their rooms and had a blast the morning after our nuptuals. They also have battle robots! And great espresso! This is a must visit place for a good experience!
This was my favorite escape room experience I have had. I’ve been to great Escape rooms and the ones that are just clues and padlocks. Between the special effects, clever use of computers and creative story lines, our group laughed and screamed. The Battling Robots, really good ice cream and hospitality from owner and employees made this a first rate experience! We will be back!
We traveled to Degray lake resort with our singles group. Saturday night we went into downtown Hot Springs and had reserved the Murder Mystery room. The owner and his employee were amazing!! They even have ice cream, specialty coffee, and life size robot fighting!! We had the best time and we made it out!!
Our group had a great time at A Narrow Escape. My group did the Murder Mystery & our other group did Wonderland. We all had a great time. The coffee & ice cream were great too. Wonderful customer service from reservation through escape experience. Shane is a hard working young man.
Had an absolute blast! The game master and his wife are wonderful people. And their little girl is so precious and friendly. Our little one had so much fun playing with her, it was the cutest!We were able to escape from the murder mystery in time WITH a 2 year old accompanying us. The puzzles are unique, engaging, and fun. Really impressive that he built everything in his own. We are already planning on doing the Bionic one next before we head home (tourists).
Our experience at A Narrow Escape was perfect. Shane and Dorian are great; they were very patient with us and explained the whole process to those that had never played before. Shane was so knowledgeable and eager to help; we really enjoyed visiting with him while we ate our Loblolly ice cream. All facilities were clean and well-maintained. The room we played was fun and full of surprises. Highly recommend. Well be back for sure!
A Narrow Escape was our first escape room we have ever been to! There were 8 of us and we split into two groups to complete two different puzzles to race to the finish! The owner was absolutely amazing! He explained and gave us tips and tricks that really helped us first timers. His rooms were well thought out and the story lines will engulf you with how much he paid attention to the small details! He designs all of the rooms himself and it is absolutely impressive to see the art he has created in these puzzles. The prices were the best I have ever found in an escape room! If you need an hour out of the hot sun and dont know what to do, this should be your first pick! It was definitely the highlight to our trip to hot springs!
Very nice escape room experience. The owner gave us a great review of the escape room options and helped us select just what we were looking for. Overall great experience.
Absolutely loved it! We did the clinical game which takes place in 1953. The game room and props were very authentic. The staff was very friendly & in character. The room was challenging but super fun! I loved the old music playing in the background. Cant wait to go back!
Our family has done two escape rooms with A Narrow Escape and they have been wonderful every time. The rooms are ranked by difficulty so you know what you’re getting into! Our most recent room, Bionic Dilemma was incredibly unique and such a clever escape room (I have done 5 escape rooms). Shane, the owner, was such a pleasure to interact with and he’s so genuine and ambitious about A Narrow Escape. I know he will continue doing great things in the future, and I can’t wait to keep coming back to see how it grows!!
Came in town for memorial day and due to the virus a lot of places were closed. Came across A Narrow Escape and hands down has been the best part of the trip. Very family driven, fun and inviting environment. The rooms were very creative and will stay with you days after participating. Cant rave enough about the couple that own it. Better rooms than the typical escape rooms that you get at basically every city across the country. Ended up trying every room they had. Cant wait to come back and try the next room they create. If youre in Hot Springs do yourself a favor and go to A Narrow Escape.
Visited the escape room while on vacation with my family. We were personally greeted by the owner when we arrived, he was very proud of his business and rightfully so. Very clean, great atmosphere, and the room we picked was fun but not so tough that my ten year old couldn’t help. Super pleased and will visit again!
This place is top notch! We had a really great time! Thank you!
Great staff and very exciting escape rooms. Very clean and interactive
My wife and I did one escape room experience here. The people were very nice and fun. The room was super interesting, although several of the clues and puzzle elements were out of place. Which was disappointing, because the overall design of the puzzles were really interesting, and posed just the right amount of challenge. In the end, the out of order clues made things confusing, but the hints from the attentive gamemaster allowed us to carry on and escape just in the nick of time. Id still call this a very positive experience, especially compared to other escape rooms Ive done. Would definitely do another room here.
What a great adventure! Family friendly, and so much fun! Owner was super friendly and obviously extremely intelligent to have designed these adventures!! Thanks for a great time!!!
Such fun! Shane is so enthusiastic and welcoming and Dorien is friendly too. I recommend this place to anyone that likes good, clean fun.
Loved it! Did the bionic dilemma and very unique. Loved the puzzles and not your average every day escape room! Will defianlty come again! Owner is amazing!!!!
Pretty awesome escape room! I enjoyed it
Coolest thing!!! The rooms are awesome and really make you think. Great people and really infectious atmosphere!
Great customer services. With great escape rooms even for people who have never done one
Had a great time with the family. The staff was friendly and very helpful throughout the whole time we were there, especially Candi who was a big help to us as it was our first time there. Would highly recommend this place and will come back again next time were in town!
Great to do something different, had an awesome experience! Will return to try all escapes!
The guy that owns and runs the coffee shop and escape rooms is amazing!First off, I’m not even a fan of latte’s but it was DELICIOUS, changed my whole outlook on latte’s.Second off, we did the easiest escape room and escaped with one 1 minute to spare! We had so much fun, the owner was so energetic and very descriptive when giving us our backstory.
This was our first escape room adventure. We gave the pod room a go. It was very immersive and had an interesting space ship feel. The puzzles were moderately challenging, which led to a good experience. I would recommend trying any of the other rooms based on my experience.My significant other felt iffy about giving it a go, but ended up having a great time.The workers were very helpful & thoughtful.My only complaint would be that there was no hand soap in either of the bathroom facilities.Update: the owner replied and mentioned that the bathroom facilities were shared and someone from the other business keeps hijacking the hand soap!
We ended up doing multiple escape rooms while in hot springs. Three different companies have escape rooms in the downtown area. This was definitely our favorite set of rooms we did, and they were also the nicest establishment. The types of challenges used in their rooms are unique and a nice break from some of the rooms encountered that you can see the same things over and over.
Awesome escape room and excellent lattes, wow!! Definitely coming back soon. Good people and well-run business.
Super fun and kid friendly escape room. We really enjoyed Wonderland. Employees were great and so was the coffee!
Went with a group for my birthday. It was an awesome experience and I cant wait to go back with my nephews! They will love this place! The decoration and attention to detail is top notch!
I have known the owners for years and I can attest to their kindness and creativeness that make for a great coffee visit and a fun, separate escape room visit. The best in Hot Springs!
My husband and I went and we loved it! He’s done escape rooms in Europe and this was my first one- it was a lot of fun and reasonably priced. It was awesome and highly recommend. We did the Pod room yesterday- it was super cool. They definitely do great with the technical portions and the story was captivating. Going back today for the Wonderland room!
We did the Pod escape room and it was a lot of fun. The puzzles are unique and complex; a lot better than some of the repetitive find the numbers, unlock a box escape rooms.They seem to really care about making the rooms a worthwhile experience and keeping things fresh. Apparently theyre always trying to improve the rooms and test new designs.The best part is that they wont book you with a bunch of strangers. We had a party of 2 and they assured us that if we booked a time, even if the room could fit 6 people they wouldnt fill our time slot with other people.Best escape room Ive been to so far.
My family and I stopped in this place on a whim. We were walking through downtown Hot Springs, Arkansas, and stepped into another world. Or as the company may call it, we had an out of this world experience. The escape room we were in was on an alien spaceship, and we had to find a way to get home to earth before we turned into aliens ourselves. It was fun, and I would definitely recommend this place to other families in the area or visiting.
We did the “POD” room and absolutely loved it! All the themes are super original and the room was so detailed and well-made! The owner/operator was so friendly and we really enjoyed getting to talk with him! The atmosphere is so nice and it is very reasonably priced! If you’re looking for an escape room in this area, A Narrow Escape is definitely the best choice! Can’t wait to return!
Decent price and an okay room. Our group did the pod. It was quite fun and we had a few in our group new to puzzles. However even the least experienced members found it a bit too easy. There was quite a lot of hints both sent to us as well as in the room. It felt like one of those apps that exists just to have ads every level. Too easy to play again.
This was my first experience with an escape room. We were a party of four and had a great time. I gave it five stars because It met all my expectations and I had no complaints. The puzzle was challenging without being overwhelming. Good story and scenario. It was owned by a husband and wife who were very friendly and patient answering all our questions prior to starting. I would recommend it to anyone regardless of age or skill level.
We went here for my friend’s birthday. It was just the two of us but that was perfect for the more intimate setup of this escape room experience. Definitely one to come back to, it is affordable and good fun!
Group of 5 of us did the POD room and it was a great time! Puzzles were challenging, but not in a stressful way. You can tell a lot of thought went into making the room interactive. Game master was friendly and tolerated our group’s antics. Definitely would do again!
We went for my husbands birthday, everyone had a great time, cant wait till someone else has a birthday!
Had a fantastic time! It was fun and the kids loved the Wonderland Escape room. We will definitely be going back!
We had a blast!This was my first escape room and it was such a great experience.We had so much fun we returned the next day for an unplanned escape.I highly recommend this escape room.
Freaking amazing! Most fun ive had in years! The staff is just as awesome and was superb at explaining everything to you and making you and your family comfortable. 3 hours after we left my family was still taking about it with excitement and is already wanting to go back for more. I cant wait to come back this summer(out of town visitor). You all with love it and its worth every red cent.
Absolutely awesome fun. We along with some friends opted to do the scenario to Find Granny. The owner,Shane, was great. He explained everything throughly to make our time there that much better.We will go back again it is great fun!!
Amazing service and great escape room!
The guy who created these escape rooms was either a genius or a certified psychopath. Great way to spend time using your brain! Lots of fun!
Great escape rooms. This guy has some of the most unique games. You wont find many like it
This way absolutely amazing!!!! We had never done a escape room before and he was really great at explaining it to us. It was very good priced and the owner was funny and helpful. The rooms were amazing and super interesting. We had a blast. I would definitely recommend it for everyone. And next time I’m in down I will definitely go back. Just a blast.
We have done two of the rooms and both were over the top. The energy in the explanation of the room just starts the excitement. This entertainment is great for tourists in beautiful downtown Hot Springs.
Very friendly staff. We did Pod and Bionic Dilemma. Both were great! I really liked how they always book the whole room for your group at no extra charge
It was fun. Not the best escape room weve tried, but definitely not the worst. The staff was friendly. Prices were reasonable compared to other escape rooms. We did the Alice in Wonderland room. The room was well decorated to go with the theme. It wasnt a very difficult room, though we got stumped on a very simple thing. The goal wasnt to escape the room, but to find a necklace, not quite as much fun as actually needing to escape.Side note, the bathroom is a separate suite and is hot, stinky, and gross.
Fantastic from start to finish. The stories are creative and the puzzles are excellent. We live out of state but if we ever return to the area, we will definitely be back.
Went because kids wanted to.........now I want to go back! Had a great time. MADE A NARROW ESCAPE!
Best escape room I have been too, very reasonable price. Very creative and well done.
This crew is amazing! Because of them I am hooked on escape rooms
My family has gone to A Narrow Escape twice in the last two years, both times around St Patrick’s day. The escapes are great fun but I really appreciate that they have fun with us and make it special. For instance I bought a ring for my daughter and they hid the birthday present among the clues. I really appreciated that they went out of their way like that, and my daughter loved it! The business is situated near the St Patty’s parade route and is an excellent place to see the bands play during the celebration. We love the town and will go back as often as we can. You should too!
This place is amazing grab yourself some friends or family and do yourself the favor of booking a game in here you will definitely have fun
Very challenging and intricate escape room! Be ready to solve some tough puzzles. A lot of fun
THIS WAS FUN! My wife and kids want to go back and do all of the rooms.
First time here but we loved it and plan at least one more trip this week.
We had a great time. The puzzles were challenging but fun.
My family and I really liked this place. The scenarios/different rooms were really creative and well thought out. The staff was really helpful beforehand and during the escape. The puzzles were challenging but fun. Definitely will be back for the other rooms!
We went here while on a family vacation in Hot Springs and it was a blast! We did the murder mystery and truly had such a fun time! The workers were fabulous and happy to help. My family and I would certainly recommend this place!
We chose the Bionic Delema and really enjoyed it. The room was challenging and really made our party of 7 work together. The instructions were explained well and we had a great time.
One of the best escape places Ive been too, the Wonderland Room was awesome!
My fiancee and I are in town on vacation and scheduled our first ever escape room here. We did the Wonderland theme and had an absolute blast! I loved how intricate the puzzles were, and the Easter eggs were fun too.The owner is a really funny guy who really cares about his work. I can assure you well be returning any time were in town, and maybe again before we leave.
My husband and I had the BEST time here!!! Ive always loved playing room escape games online but thats nothing compared to a live experience. Shane made this experience wonderful. And Maggie was just the icing on the cake!! If youre in Hot Springs you have to try this. Youll definitely come back.
We had the best time big group great rooms! Well designed!
I used this activity kick off a Bachelor party. Only one of our six had done an escape room before. We chose to do the Clinical Trial room and found it very enjoyable. The backstory was fun and the puzzles were clever and entertaining to figure out. We ended up escaping with 15 minutes to spare, but Id chalk that up to having a relatively smart group. This was definitely the highlight of the night.And a big shout-out to the staff here, who were awesome. You can tell they really love challenging people while making sure they have a great time.
We did this for my husbands birthday. There were 5 of us. 2 parents, 3 kids (ages 15, 13, 10). Had a blast. Everybody in the family got to show their strengths in solving all the different clue types. The robot in the story gave up a few helpful hints to steer us in the right direction. The guy was super nice . We were impressed that he built the whole theme from scratch. Very fun . I highly recommend this!
This was our first escape room experience. This place was awesome and alot of fun the .
Definitely an exciting new experience and cant wait to go back and try another room!!You need to put all your McGyver knowledge to use!!!!!
Fun Family Night - We took our 14 year old daughter for her birthday and had a blast. The staff was extremely friendly and professional and the puzzles were top notch! Highly recommended!
Super fun for our family. We want to do it again️
Had a really great experience and I have to go do it again!!! Awsome!!
This was our first escape experience and we are really glad we chose to give it a try. We started with The Bionic Dilemma and the story line was great and the puzzles were challenging, engaging and a lot of fun. We had such a great time that we came back the next day and did the other room A Clinical Trial. Would highly recommend it!
Very well done, very challenging escape room experience.
Really enjoyed our experience in the Wonderland room. We will definitely come back when family come to town.
Absolutely awesome! My husband and I were visiting Hot Spring and thought we would give an escape room a try. Was totally worth it! Loved the story line of each rooms and was really impressed with the ingenuity and skill of all of the props (which are all handmade/created by the owners). The owners Shane and Kirstie are really friendly and welcoming. Also, if you are a pet lover make sure to ask for Maggie - The Marketing Director, she is a real pro at greetings! Would recommend this place 110% to anyone wanting to give it a try. But, just know you may get hooked. :-)
We had the best time here and everyone was so nice. We had no idea what to expect because it was our first time but we LOVED IT and we WILL be back!
Great place to go and have some fun.
We had a ball spending Easter Sunday with friends at a Narrow Escape! The room themes are super fun and the puzzles are challenging but not impossible to solve. Well definitely plan another trip to the area when a new room opens!
Wonderland - challenging and unique. Loved it!!
Honestly had no idea what to expect but it was totally amazing. Owners were very encouraging and helpful throughout the puzzle! Such great team building exercises that push you to think and work together. Definitely plan on going back very soon!!!
Daniel and I went for the Clinical trial escape room!! It was fun to work together and challenge our minds a tad!! Great Date Night Fun!! We will most definitely be returning to do the others, very soon!!
Had a blast with a group of 11 year olds for a birthday adventure. They helped us just enough to not get stuck but also allowed us to work the puzzles. Management was very accommodating as child birthday parties are not the norm. Its not the easiest venue to find. My advice is to find subway and then go up the stairs beside. It is on the second floor.
Very intricate and well made escape room; best I have been to yet.
A very awesome experience. We werent very good at it but he helped us a lot. Very friendly staff. We would definately do this again. Maybe well be better at it next time. :)
This place has great escape rooms
I wasnt very confident going into it, but our team crushed it. The clues were not too hard but not too easy. It was alot of fun. Thank you so much!
Great place if u think u can find your way out great game
Theres a magnificent feel to this place. Very creatively executed puzzles, and a bit of twisted humor to keep a human edge to the game. One-of-a-kind. Give it a shot and see if you can beat it!
My first time doing an escape room and it was awesome! Very well put together room!! The owners are very passionate about their rooms and you can tell they out alot of effort into making the rooms challenging and fun! We will be back!
This was a great experience for the whole family... it was a challenge!!
Loved it,we just couldnt escape
