If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! I booked a room during off-hours for my moms birthday and Lara was wonderfully helpful in detailing all of my options and booking the room - the whole process was fast and easy! When we arrived, the staff was professional, super polite, very supportive throughout the whole experience and gave just the right amount of clues when needed. As if that wasnt enough, they also had a wonderful surprise for my mom once we escaped - they wrote Happy Birthday Trisha on the TV screen!! How awesome is that!? We felt like we got the gold star treatment. Thank you so much for making my moms birthday so special! I will definitely be back again very soon!
Attention to detail at every turn! When we first entered, the staff walked us through the rules and COVID-etiquette (their website also details all of the measures theyve taken -- it felt very clean and safe) and then let us do our thing. Our room had a speakeasy theme (The Blind Tiger) and everything was so on point. I played with family, and the diversity of the puzzles meant that each of us contributed something to the experience. The technology involved in the puzzles was so cool-- everything was automated. It was a great family activity, and I cant wait to try another room!
This was the best escape room I’ve ever played! My previous experiences were only in public rooms that had clues that weren’t overly cohesive with the themes. House in The Woods and The Incident were both awesome with really cool details to the themes, be prepared for a 90s explosion in the incident! The entire facility was very clean, and the staff was very friendly and explained all of the COVID updated protocol prior to playing. I will definitely be coming back soon to play the rest of the rooms.
This was our group’s first time in an escape room and it was amazing! From entry to exit Lara was an incredible host. Promptly addressing questions when asked, and providing clues when needed, her creative rooms and helpful hints made for a fun-filled experience for all of us!
Had a birthday party for my 15 yr old! Great experience! Incase you are wondering they have a “party room” you can rent. Very nice, clean and they are very accommodating of decorations. My favorite escape room!
I had so much fun during my experience at Key to Escape. My group and I had never done an escape room before and Lara was very helpful before entering answering our very many questions. The room was fun and we cannot wait to go back again!
We had a great time as a family trying to crack the code. When we asked for assistance the hints they gave us were perfect. I was impressed by the introduction to the room, how COVID ready the environment is, and all the details that went into making this a fun time! I look forward to going back!!!
We had so much fun it was a challenge but we were able to make it out of the escape room!! Lara is so nice. Go with your friends and family.
Rooms are so well thought out and ridiculously fun. Maintained excellently. This is definitely my favorite in NH.
Awesome staff! Amazing rooms with skill levels ranging from kid to expert!
Amazing employees and rooms are very detailed I had a ton of fun!!
Cannot say enough good things about this escape room. The staff members were very friendly, welcoming, and helpful . We met Lara, Tara and Karyn! My fiance and I have done many escape rooms but this was by far one of our favorites. We did the western whistle and cuckoos nest. The mechanics, designs, puzzles and themes are all creative and amazing! The rooms are difficult and the staff offers just the right amount of help. Cant wait to come back and try out the incident or anything else they might have in store for us.
Had to wait for our hints that we requested to be awnsered because for some reason they type them here, so not only did we have to wait we had to figure out the awful spelling of some words. Just a really bad way to give hints.
Very kind staff! had an awesome time playing the escape room
Our game master was C.C. and she was so awesome!! There was a group of 7 of us that did 60 min The Incident room. We were blown away with how well thought out everything was and it was the perfect amount of difficult. C.C. even allowed us a few extra minutes at the end because of how close we were to finishing. We cannot wait to go back and do the other rooms that Key to Escape offers!! Overall it was a great experience.
Amazing location with so many great rooms!
We did the Alien Room. There were 4 of us and it was awesome. Puzzles and clues and interesting locks to solve. Great time. Took us a few clues and an extra 10 minutes to solve.
My partner and I are enthusiasts, and we’ve played both Cuckoo’s Nest and now The Incident (90 minute version). These rooms are EASILY the best in the area. Fun, clever puzzles, good immersion, and great game masters. Definitely recommend for new or experienced players!
My group has done every room at this location and they are all very fun! Challenging, unique and a good variety of different puzzles to conquer! Definitely the best escape room in the area!
Always a good time! Rooms are challenging but they have different levels, completely worth it.
My wife and I recently tried the Western Whistle. I was looking for something fun and different for us to do and we had so much fun! We were greeted by the owner and we made it out of the room with a little over 4 minutes to share. We had a lot of laughs and the owner was a very nice guy! Loved this place and we will be back! It was challenging, exciting and fun!
Create family outing for our family of young adults to mature adults. Great team bonding experience. Would definitely do again!
I had never been to an escape room so nothing really to baseline, but this place was fabulous! The staff was very friendly and they really explained everything quite well. Words of caution: do not go with a large group; we had four and it seemed perfect, maybe as high as 6, but more would get too crowded. Google maps did not get me there well, probably 3 missteps, one was on me for not being a native, but you reallly have to look for it.All in all, totally worth it.
Such a fun experience at Key to Escape! We had three adults and two kids (13yo and 14yo) playing in the Western Whistle room. It was interactive for all of us and John was a great game master! We will definitely be back!
Went to Key to Escape on Saturday as part of my birthday celebration and loved it. My party of five did the Cuckoos Nest, and it was full of mental challenges (rather than physical ones) that truly exercised our wits and kept us busy the full hour. Never a dull moment, and it was only by having so many different knowledge bases and strengths between us that we managed to escape (solve) the challenge with only 46 seconds to spare! I will definitely be going back to try other rooms.
So fun and challenging at the same time! This experience made the whole family want to do it again! Can’t wait to escape the next room!!
My husband and I tackled the Western Whistle with 8 minutes to spare and LOVED it! Weve been to several different escape rooms but Key to Escape is by far the best. Hand-designed rooms and amazing puzzles. Highly recommend it if youre looking for a fun date night, or group night out!
Super fun! Went with a group and our gamemaster was helpful when he could tell we were struggling hard. Would go again!
This place was awesomeee!! Liked every second of it! The place to be in Nashua, NH. Thank you John you are the best!!
Great time playing The Incident. Lots of different puzzles to make it interesting and challenging. Thanks to C.C. for making it a fun experience.Just played House in the Woods. Another great time. Definitely will be back.We finished Western Whistle a few weeks ago with 6 minutes to spare. Great room, theme, and design. Awesome puzzles. Weve now officially done all the rooms and cant wait for the next. We do a lot of escape rooms and we love this place. They have the most unique puzzles.
We have completed over 20 rooms in seven different states. What we like about Key to Escape is they design their own rooms. You can tell they care about attention to detail and put a lot of thought into the puzzles and how everything comes together. Private bookings, owner designed rooms, cant beat it.UPDATE: We just completed The Incident (90 minute version) and really enjoyed it, and now weve completed all their rooms. Eagerly awaiting their next! Thanks CC for a great in-game The Incident experience.
Very fun escape room! Its awesome that your group gets to have a private experience without paying to book out the whole room. Sometimes it can be hard to have to work a room with strangers. Without spoiling things they had some unique ways of unlocking thinks and solving the puzzles that I havent seen in other escape rooms. Will definitely go back to try some of the other rooms.
My daughter and I had a great time! The puzzles were creative and well paced. It was like being inside a puzzle based video game, but better. The staff were great! I highly recommend it.
So much fun :) Great date night for hubs and I. We did the western whistle and were able to escape! Clever set up and fun to work through.
This place was one for the books and made my weekend in New Hampshire 10 times better. I highly recommend it you won’t be disappointed and John who is the manager is a really fun guy and there’s great customer service
Amazing first time experience for 4 12 year old girls! We escaped :)
We had a group of 5. Ages 11, 12, 15, 16, &...my age . We did the House in the Woods room and Karen was our challenge host. It was so fun. We all felt challenged and excited with every clue success. It was extremely clever and well done and we were able to Escape within the hour. We did request several clues to keep us on the right path. I highly recommend this activity for a family event, friends day out, or corporate event. Thank you Key to Escape! We want to come back for the asylum and invasion! See you soon.
This place was fantastic! There are a wide variety of types of puzzles to engage different brains. Darryl, our game master, was funny and engaging. They have a great system for providing as much or as little help as you need. We look forward to coming back and trying them all!
We had a great time. We did the 90 minute The Incident...AWESOME room. Staff was great.
My daughter wanted to try an escape room for quite some time, so for her birthday this year we looked around nearby and found Key to Escape. With multiple rooms and difficulty levels to choose from, it was easy to find something that would work for her group of friends. They had an absolute blast! As we left, all they could talk about was going back again to try another room.The staff was friendly and polite, the facility clean and taken care of, and the game was well designed. The room evolved as it moved along, and I was impressed with several of the tricky puzzles and fun solutions. Watching the kids have a good time, while working together and using their minds, was a great experience.Thank you to our Game Masters, and Key to Escape in general, for a great evening!
Insanely fun! Challenging, but not overwhelmingly so. We did The Incident, 90 minutes and finished with just over 6m on the clock. The puzzles were great! Definitely want to go back. Our Game Master was awesome as well. Kept an eye on our progress throughout and was ready if we needed him. Throughout the game we got two hints. Neither have us the answer, they just nudged us in the right direction.I cant wait to go back and try some of the other rooms. I highly recommend this place.
The Western Whistle saloon room was a really fun escape room! Love that all the rooms are guaranteed private, so that you dont have to play with strangers!
Had a fantastic time at Key To Escape in Nashua today! The Cuckoos Nest was a lot of fun. The 3 of us in our group were able to make it through with just a few minutes to spare. The staff is great. They are very personable and help add to the experience of the room. The room that we tried was very well laid out, with great puzzles, and the furnishings and design really set the atmosphere of the experience.If you like escape rooms, or have never tried one and are interested in giving one a try, Id highly recommend Key To Escape.Well be back for more fun, and look forward to see what the new room will be.
Played The Incident room (60-minute version) with 4 people (2 newbies). Our host Daryl was fantastic - very helpful with any questions we had before and during the session, and wonderful personality! The overall experience was above and beyond our groups expectations. The room itself proved to be much more than what it appeared (without giving anything away!) and had the perfect difficulty level - not too hard that it wasnt fun, but not too easy either. We were already making plans to come back and do another room before wed even left the first one! Would absolutely recommend Key to Escape to anyone looking for a fun, engaging, and challenging escape room location! Time and money very well spent!
So much fun! Well worth the time and money! We had 6 people, 4 of whom are teenagers. Everyone was completely involved and engaged. As the adults in the group, we were very happy that all the teens had fun and felt useful. We loved that when one person couldnt figure out a clue, another jumped in and got the job done! Thanks John and Lara, well be back! ~Sharon
Great place with very creative well designed rooms! Bring your thinking cap!
Went for my daughters birthday. We had a great time.
Didnt really know what I was getting into but way more fun than expected. Lots more to it then first appearances! Had a great time and looking forward to trying the other rooms.
Key to Escape is a great experience! The rooms are challenging and the game masters are great (Lara and Karyn)! We’ve done 2 rooms there so far and will do another this weekend. Today, I brought my employees from work as a team building exercise. I got to observe how they worked together to solve the room. Lara and Karyn ensured that the experience was enjoyable for everyone!
Great time. This was our second visit and we are looking forward to the next room.
A really fun place to go with friends, family, or coworkers. Theres plenty to do for everyone and theres always help when you need it. Im definitely going back for more.
Came to do House in the Woods with 2 adults and 4 kids, aged 10-13. This room is totally family-friendly and was nice and clean. At Standard difficulty, this room was not particularly hard, though we needed a few clues. Host Darryl was a lot of fun. We got out with a few minutes to spare. HAD A BLAST!!! Thanks!
Very fun time!! Our group had age ranges from 12-60 and we had a great time! Staff super friendly and helpful made the experience very enjoyable!
Great people and it was fun, one guy just guessed at the final code without figuring it out and the door opened.
We went this evening for my daughters birthday. We had a great time! I have been three times now, with family, friends and work. Each time was so much fun
Awesome escape room! The staff is so friendly and helpful (upon request), and we had so much fun solving the puzzles in the Cuckoos Nest room. They have different difficulty levels to choose from, which makes it really nice. The props and decor are outstanding as well. Highly recommend this for a 1 hour or 90 minute adventure.
Been there there times already, and loved each and every time
Excellent puzzles - challenging and fun!Laura was greatYou should go!!!
Loved the Western Whistle room!! Challenges were unique and the room was decorated perfectly for the theme. Can’t wait to try the other rooms.
Tons of fun! John was very helpful and enthusiastic. He made the experience even better with his sense of humor and great attitude. I would definitely recommend going as a smaller group... things get hectic with bigger groups and some people might miss out on clues. I plan on going back for sure.
We are an oral surgery group with three offices; two in MA and one in NH. We had our Christmas Party here last night. We took up the entire place using 4 rooms to play and both function rooms; so that we could all play and eat at the same time. Everyone had such a great time. The staff here is exceptional. They helped us bring our stuff in - and there was a lot of it. They waited for the food and help set up so all of us could play, and even helped us clean up. I would recommend without reservation.
What a great time! My girlfriends and I did a room here together and had so much fun. I loved that we were in charge of when we would get clues because it was perfect - we struggled just enough to feel challenged without feeling like we were on the wrong track. Id definitely go back!
My friends and I did The Incident room, it was awesome! The staff member Laura was amazing! Friendly and cheerful, we went there to relax and have some fun and she really made the experience that much better for us. The room was hard, and we wouldnt have escaped without a few clues but there were also clues that we were able to figure out ourselves. All in all totally worth it!
Great times with more than 2 people! Hints are greatly appreciated and comical at times! Go with good intentions and prepare your brain and you will have a GREAT time at Key to Escape in Nashua! We completed house in woods in a little over an hour (thanks for the extended time!) and had a great time with the riddles and unlocking the locks! Great time at this pace and recommend to anyone looking to go to any escape rooms! Absolutely loved it!
We did the alien themed escape room and it was a blast! It had so many different types of fun puzzles and awesome room design. It wasnt too tricky as we completed it with thirty minutes to spare, but 10/10 would do again.
Came here with coworkers as a company outing. Owners are completely accommodating and friendly. They go over all the rules in detail. They offer competitive modes if you have a lot of people in your group. You can go head-to-head and try to get better completion time. The escape rooms themselves are genuinely challenging and fun. They require you to think outside the box. Would definitely go back!
Staff was wonderful. Cannot say enough positives about the woman who guided us through the process. I will say that, having done this at two other places, I found this to be very challenging, even for the beginner level. Much harder here, but it was okay, we took lots of clues and finally completed the exercise. Great time. One thing to note is that stairs are involved so elderly folks on walkers beware. Wonderful time, would go back.
Awesome experience!! Great family activity!
A fun experience, but we needed a lot of help with extra clues.
Ive been to 6 different escape rooms and this one is by far the best! The owners were extremely friendly and very helpful with the hints. The owners definitely want to make sure you have a fun and enjoyable experience.Ive only done one room (Cuckoos Nest) and i can honestly say the room was very well built with immersive props, ambient noises, and solid structures. I will definitely come back to try the other rooms!The puzzles were fun, innovative, and also made sense! More importantly they were challenging. Just the way we like them :)This place is 100% worth the price!
A wonderful event for freinds and family. Well planned and appropriately challenging themes. Friendly and personable staff. Looking forward to new trying new themes. Its our 2nd year celebrating all our January birthdays and we are looking forward to our next event.
We did two rooms with my six year old. Very clean place and friendly staff. Very immersive, definatly difficult but not too much where its not fun.
We had a great time and it was worth the challenge. We needed hints but we did manage to get out with 27 seconds left on the clock. I would recommend this to anyone that wants a challenge and have fun doing it.
Easily my favorite Escape Room in the area, and Ive been to every one in a 40 mile radius. Staff has always been fantastic and the rooms are exciting and surprising. They have different levels of difficulty which helps new and veteran players decide their escapability level. Their rooms are carefully crafted with cool mechanisms and decorative props so Im always excited when I enter and I can guarantee Ill try every room theyll put out!
Amazing atmosphere and the game masters were fantastic. This place is definitely worth a trip.
Only done an escape room twice but this was definitely more involved then the last time at a different facility. That being said, At times the challenge level at Standard was a little harder then I would of expected even with the clues. Overall great experience and plan to be back.
Well-designed room with variety of different puzzles. Clues had depth and storyline was not forced. When needed, hints were appropriately given to ensure an overall enjoyable experience! One of the best ones weve done in the US. Owner is an awesome dude and very accommodating. Computer glitch landed us with no reservation when we showed up, but he quickly made a room available for us. Highly recommend!
Very fun. It was my first time going and we made it out alive just in time. The room was the right difficulty (standard) and the staff was very friendly and helpful. You can tell the woman who runs the company (along with her father) is very passionate about escape rooms and really loves making clues and getting newcomers into it. I will definitely be visiting again!
Fun, challenging, exciting...what an experience! My kids are 13. We chose the Challenging level and they loved it; solving more clues than I could. I recommend this to any family, team, circle of friends or corporate group. Excellent facility, creative escape scenarios and great, great staff!
This was our first time doing an escape room and we will definitely do it again! John was friendly and dressed in character for the room we did. ... the Cuckoos Nest. It was fun and even though it was only 2 of us that came we still had a blast! The challenge is real!
So amazing and fun! We were hooked immediately. We did our first room last night and had to come back today for another! So entertaining and worth every penny- $25 is cheap for the entertainment youll get. Love that a father and daughter can build such an amazing business together! So fun!
Excellent adventure! We played with two children and had a great time. The team that sets the rooms were outstanding. Really enjoyable, worth the time and money.
I have completed 3 rooms now at Key to Escape as well as a few escape rooms at other places. Key by far had the most creative and challenging puzzles, better storytelling and overall fun experience. Good activity for family, friends or coworkers! Highly recommended!
We had an awesome experience in The Cookoo’s Nest today!! Evan was such a great Game Master and helped make the experience so wonderful. We’ll definitely be back!!
Always fun to go here. The rooms are well thought out, the staff is professional and helpful. I highly recommend this place for families and groups of friends. This is a great team builder.
John and Lara are a father daughter team that are the master minds behind these fun rooms! I have done all 3 of the rooms they have open and each one offers its own unique games and experiences. I highly suggest for anyone wanting to do an escape room!
First time trying the escape room experience...thankfully we had a couple experienced folks with us so we made it out with 21 seconds to spare! It was challenging and FUN!!
Super fun! Super hard .. :) This was the coolest thing Ive done. Great staff members who had a great sense of humor. Thanks for a great time!
This being my first time (and everyone else in my group), it was fun and challenging. I had 6 others with me and we had 5min to spare. We are going to try again. Karen was our guide. She allowed hints (as many as you wanted). Not too proud to say, we needed two hints. She also told us we did VERY well our first time. And this was a beginners room! Lol Fun time.
Had a great time with BNI friends, the rooms were awesome.
I couldnt have had more fun. Very challenging but something for all levels. Highly recommend for team building events. We will be returning in the near future.
This experience was awesome, it was so cool to be able to interact with friends trying to solve the puzzles, can’t wait to do it again!
Great fun. Super friendly owner and staff. I highly recommend this place for everyone.
Fantastic experience. Great staff who worked really well with all of our groups. So fun. We will certainly be returning with more of our staff. Highly recommend for anyone looking to do a group/team building activity.
Staff was very friendly, rooms was very clean and well kept. Had a lot of fun, looking forward to going back for the other rooms.
We had a lot of fun! The room was challenging.
Second time going and it was a blast! Cant wait to go again
Had a great time tonight playing The Incident. Challenging puzzles, nice set design, friendly, helpful staff.
Immersively decorated, clean rooms, clever puzzles and friendly staff. Second time visiting, and looking forward to attempting another.
