We did an Alice-in-Wonderland-themed event that was an excellent way to spend an afternoon with buddies. They were very kind to us when we were clearly lost and needed help! What fun, you guys, Ill be back.

Absolutely awesome time. My nine year old son and I did the trouble in paradise room. We were the only two. The staff was great and very helpful. The room was challenging but fun. I am very proud of my son and how awesome he did. Thanks for the great experience!

We went in a group of 4, and went through the mad hatter room- it took us almost the whole time but we finally figured it out! It was way more fun than I thought it would be, and I already had high expectations! Very satisfied. It may be a bit more pricey than similar venues, but you definitely get what you pay for. Thank you so much for a great night out!

Although we did not succeed in escaping from jail we all had a GREAT time. We will definitely do this again with a different scenario. A word of advice: 7 adults are too many. I think it would work best with 4 or 5 at the very most.

My husband and I did this on our 1 year anniversary. We were in the jail cell and it definitely gave us a run for our money. We definitely recommend this and would do it again. Great job guys!

Very thoughtful escape room. Had the perfect amount of red herrings and trash clues to throw us all off. Helpful and attentive staff ensured we had a great time. Would recommend to anyone looking for a fun indoor activity on a hot day.

I attempted their hardest room with two first timers. Our group of three had a good time, Id suggest having more people for this room. I would say three experienced players should be able to make it with 15minutes to spare. Inexperienced people might not find this enjoyable.

This was our first escape experience and we enjoyed it. Dont want to give too much but it was challenging and fun, and an hour goes by very fast! The young staff was friendly and helpful, we would definitely try it again.

It was a great experience! We escaped with our two kids (8 and 10) and some family and friends. We all worked together and it was easy to participate equally with ideas and group problem-solving! Fun, fun, fun!

This place was amazing! Just did the Alice in the Wonderland themed section. It took me a whole hour but it was fun and entertaining. I would recommend this place to anyone in Sarasota with time on their hands.

We brought a group of 8 mixed with friends, family and co workers. We were so excited to do the Jail Break Room and already planned on doing the Mad Hatter room next.The girl at the front desk was rude and acted as though we were a bother and she was annoyed that she had to instruct us on signing the waivers.As we were waiting for our room which was running behind on getting out because it was” a party” the girl at the counter informed us. I asked to use the restroom which was out of order due to their water being shut off at the time for 30 mins. ..Which was just great as I’m getting ready to enter a locked room for an hour.As “the party” finally let out the group was talking as they came out of the room and gave away where keys were located and how they broke out. We overheard everything as quiet as it is in the waiting area. I said something to a girl in our group and the girl chimed in rudely saying it wouldnt ruin our experience.The only positive part of this experience was the young gentleman who actually guided us to your room and explained the scenario. He was very nice and seemed like he loved his job.As we were in the room we’d hold up the paper for clues and it would take forever to get them, like no one was actually watching the cameras.I’d LOVE to do another room, but I’ll go to the other Escape room I heard is across the street rather than get treated like this again. It ruins your mood when you enter the establishment in a great mood and excited to do something fun with your friends and then youre treated unprofessionally from the staff. Sets the whole mood for the entire experience.

Excellent experience. Everyone in our birthday group had a great time and was really impressed. It was very challenging and entertaining at the same time. A lot of fun and well worth it.

Excellent adventure for my motley crue. The best fun was watching all the kids while they were locked up in The Prison Break Theme. Thanks James and Taura for the excellent service not only for the boys but for me too. Priceless...

My friends and I enjoyed a girls night out at Escape Countdown. I wasnt really sure what to expect but we had a delightful time and Jolex and the other staff made our time there fun and challenging as we sorted through clues to solve the mystery.

I took my daughter to the Escape Jail and it was very fun. We did not get out in time but still had a great time. The Mad Hatter one was not so fun, 4 walls and the clues were very obscure. They explained the solution to us at end

Went to Escape Countdown today and had the absolute BEST time ever. Im still thinking about the fun hours later.....The staff was awesome and roled played perfectly and they were well dressed for all the different room themes. I really enjoyed the jail break straight face role playing from the staff before we entered the room. It was definitely a fun experience. I am DEFINITELY going back to try the other rooms. I love puzzles and trying to figure them out in real life was so so so much better than any online game I ever played. I felt like it was real!!!!

Way more fun than I thought it would be. We did escape but not everyone does.

Review №44

Saw online that there were 8 slots available so just went there right away, for everyone to pay separate yet when we got there they said oh the last group came late so they just moved them to a later slot which made them not have the availability that they said online. We were unable to play due to their disingenuous rules. It says on their site that if you show up late that it will just take time off of your hour, though in this case they just lost customers instead.
