Love, love, love this place! Went here for a company outing and it was an amazing, fun and challenging event. The owner talked to us a little about all his experience trying many other escape rooms and testing each of his designs out before having people go through them. He puts a lot of care into it and loves to talk with people about it. Hands down this is the best escape room Ive ever been to. We did the miner problem and loved it. Well done sir! Keep going you rock

We had a blast in the Magician Apparition escape room! We went in overtime since it was just the two of us and the little one but we got out!!! The team was fantastic and offered hints when we were stuck! The room had a ton of puzzles to complete and definitely made you think, problem solve, and have to work together! This is a great activity for a bonding, family, friends, and team building experience! I highly recommend GTFO! Put down the video games and phones and go check this place out; it is more than worth the time and money! All custom unique rooms, a fantastic atmosphere, and so much to do in a single room!

Had an amazing time playing Miner Problem! The owner and team are helpful and fun. The puzzles and sets are just great. Truly fun for the whole family (we had 3 generations, and were so glad we found a place that allows little ones). Weve enjoyed Escape Rooms in a number of different cities and states - and this is our new favorite!

We had a great time. Staff was friendly and explained the process very well (it was our first time). Room was well designed! A great thing to do with a group and reasonable priced. We would highly recommend GTFO

Amazing rooms. Two keys to a great escape room: challenging puzzles, without being too difficult, and immersion. GTFO knocks it out of the park. Always checking back to see if they have a new room.

Awesome Escape Room! Today we did Miner Problems. Our family have been enjoying GTFO since they first opened 4 years ago. We are always greeted with the happy, smiling faces of the owner and employees. Between us, we have done approximately 15 to 20 escape rooms to date and GTFO has some of the best!! We are never disappointed! Thanks again for a fun and challenging experience!!

We did a company party night with 20 employees, split between two rooms. This was after we had a group go back in June on this year and had such a great time. Everyone had a great time and were laughing and chatting about it the next day in the office. We love the the owner is also the designer of the rooms, which makes it an even better experience--it is clear that he has passion for what he does and wants everyone to have an amazing escape room experience. Tons of fun and the fudge at the end is a nice sweet ending :)

An excellent puzzle room that utilized more varied problems to keep things interesting. Additionally their system for asking for a hint was quite clever. Each solved puzzle lead to a visual change which was rewarding. Kind staff, clean (if small) facility, and you earn fudge! A lot of fun for any age.

We completed the Trapped in a Horror Movie room tonight. We have done many different rooms around Maine. We had a Wait, what? moment the second we entered our room. Completely didnt see that coming. Only thing we werent crazy about was amount of locks there were. Other than that.... bravo! We had a blast.

Amazing experience. Super friendly. Lots of hints should you want or need them (doled our at your discretion). And free pictures at the end! Had a lot of fun. Did the horror movie room can’t wait to try the others!

My aunt lives in Maine and had never done an escape room before, so as a connesoure I felt it was my job to take her to one because shes the kind of person who would love them. we did the magician themed one, and thanks to our ten minute grace period, escaped!! one of the best locally owned, hole-in-the-wall style escape room places Ive been to

My 17 year old son and I loved it! We attempted an adventure as a duo and we found the experience enchanting! I think it was a creative opportunity for us to work together. The room was incredibly engineered and we found ourselves delighted by the interactive elements. Highly recommend, well definitely be back!

Oh man we had an amazing time! We did the horror room, just two of us because our third person got sick and didnt come. But whats super nice is that we were emailed a giftcard for the money we put down for her spot. We will def be back! Cant wait!Also, made it out with 2:30 to spare

This was our hardest experience yet, apparently that’s a similar experience for most who got into their “Mine” room. We had an excellent time. These puzzles made you work for it and the complexity of the set up was interesting. Without giving too much away, your group doesn’t start off as you would normal expect, but when things come together, the game get even better.

We tried the Magicians Apparition a little while back and had so much fun!! My favorite part about the room was that it had some really creative puzzles that I’ve never seen before and at the end, they took the time to answer any questions and walk you through the puzzles if you couldn’t crack it.

Richard was incredibly friendly and easy to work with. He helped us create a experience that was a perfect fit for our staff retreat and team.

GTFO is awesome! The staff is friendly, the rooms are perfectly planned and they give you unlimited hints! But if you want to make the scoreboard you have only 1 hint you can use! You get fudge if you solve the room you’re in! It’s a great experience! (Maybe vegan fudge will come in the future. Vegans of Maine will follow!)

We did the magicians apparition. There were 5 of us: 2 adults and 3 kids between 11-14. The room was really well done and very intricate. Down side is there’s no way this is a good room for kids with the time allotted. Way too many locks and symbols. Half the group left feeling pretty defeated. Would not recommend this if you want to feel accomplished or remotely get close to ‘escaping’ the room.

The store front is awkward and low budget but once you get into the escape room its well done and the puzzles are plentiful and fun. We completed the magician room with a good time and smiles on our faces.

Loved all their rooms! Puzzles were legit but also lots of clever tech throughout. Incredibly smart use of space and very unique approaches to escape room design. The owner is passionate and it shows! Miner Problems was our favorite!

We have done well over 30 escape rooms and this one was in my top five for clever puzzles. We did the magicians apparition. While there were lots of locks, they were very clever in how they worked, and had quite a few unique puzzles. I will absolutely be returning to do the miners room.

This place is out of this world. I could tell you about the experience but I will leave it for you to enjoy. This place is located on Congress street in Portland. It has been here for some time now.Please take a moment to press the like button. Thank you graciously

Totally blown away by this escape room! Weve been to a few here in Maine, but this one was on a whole different level, in the best way.

What an awesome experience GTFO was! Our group of eight attempted the Trapped in a Horror Movie room and had an absolute blast. This was the first time trying an escape room for all of us, and we loved it. We were able to finish with about 16 minutes remaining. The room was challenging, well-designed, and very thematic. As a reward for our success, we were given delicious salted caramel fudge to eat as we got the fudge out of the room. I will most definitely be making return visits to GTFO as soon as possible!

Least favorite room I have ever done, the gimmick of the room was it was completely in the dark, and you use flashlights, that rendered half the people useless, as you only have a few lights. Puzzles were simple and standard, locks codes, nothing original or surprising. One of the puzzles allowed a item you are trying to reach fall and become unattainable, and a staff member has to come into the room and retrieve it ( “ happens all the time”) room production quality was low, and my group left feeling disappointed. One star for the room, and a extra star because the staff was extremely friendly and energetic.

This place was amazing. I went with my family and we all had a super great time, the puzzles were fun and genuinely entertaining to solve. We did have to use all of our hints to get out but it was still fun. I can’t wait for the next time to go!

Room was fun but not much of a story behind it. one of the toughest rooms I have done.

This was my first ever escape room and i had a great time! Great photo booth at the end too!

Super nice staff and a very interesting string of puzzles. They were able to accommodate our group of a dozen people at the very last minute and even stayed later than their usual hours. Highly recommend!!! Also the fudge is not a lie

Great time. the owner was very friendly and was willing to explain whatever we asked. and the peanut butter fudge was tasty!

Phenomenal set of escape rooms with great atmosphere and challenging/unique puzzles. We enjoyed the first one so much that we tackled a second right afterwards.

Ive done two Escape Rooms here so far and both have been wicked fun. The puzzles are hard, but not unsolvable, and the hints given are timed really well so you get frustrated, but not discouraged. Theyre a lot of fun to do with groups of friends and a great birthday or special event. The fudge you get for winning is a bonus treat, lol. I do wish there was vegan options, but thats hard with fudge.

Our group had a good time overall. Our host was lively and humorous. It was a bit pricey to privately rent the room for our group of 6, but we wouldnt want to have strangers with us as that would be awkward and difficult to try to work as a team. We took our daughter for her 15th birthday and our son 11 along with 2 other adults. It was a challenging but exciting room, especially for the younger ones; none of us had done this before and it was unexpectedly in the dark. As long as we stuck together and didnt get carried away we did well, otherwise its really difficult not being on the same page. When necessary, their hints were appropriate. We were very disappointed they wouldnt give us the solution because they were too busy but told us we were about 3/4 of the way through. Not bad for first timers... well definitely return soon!

Miner problems room was cool for my daughters birthday party . 8 girls / two rooms.. they loved it!!

I did Magicians Apparition with my 10 year old nephew, and he loved it!! There were so many fun puzzles and the guide was so helpful with clues when we needed them. The employees are so nice, and its a really great local business. Will be back again soon!

I really enjoyed my experience here and plan to return. My partner and I tried the trapped in a horror movie room. It was pretty creative and I really liked that you could ask for hint; and they were helpful instead of a dead giveaway.

That was hard and well designed. Kids loved it.

Thought the room was great and well put togethe . Loved that there were several different rooms and things that just pop open when you do the right thing. Had a lot of fun.

Had a great time, working out the mental acrobatics needed to complete the GTFO Escape room. We did not complete it but it was a mind bender good time. Lots of ah ha moments and laughter.

Great little spot that is still expanding! They are working on their 4th room. Ive only been to one (miner problems) but my Portland are friends have been to them all. Fun, engaging and challenging! All the things you want in an escape room. Highly recommend.

This was an unexpected room for my boyfriend and I. We love doing escape rooms and we love to find them wherever we travel. Its all in the name! I wasnt expected the fudge at the end but honestly, that was a good touch!! We were shocked to see just how many locks we had in the room we chose but it was definitely a good challenge for us since we havent encountered that many before. I loved that it was more of a challenge for us. I wasnt sure we would get out and although we didnt beat any of the times that were on the board we were able to Get the Fudge Out.

This was an awesome escape room! We did the magician room and there were so many different puzzles and we had a cool explanation of the room afterwards. Highly recommend!

Fun but challenging experience. Would recommend this place for a group outing.

First escape room. Picked this location due to great reviews and low success rate, wanted a challenge. Staff were super friendly and accomodating. Miner room was very challenging and a ton of fun. 90 minutes passed in no time. We failed but were so close it hurt. We were offered fudge even in failure, but most of our group knew we hadnt earned it and declined. Will certainly be back to try the other room. Im now hooked and cant wait for my next escape room.

Trapped in a horror movie! The staff was very energetic and appeared to enjoy their jobs. The room was a bit tough for three of us, but well put together.

Great rooms and very friendly staff.

We went on Mr.FSs Birthday and it was a heck of a trip, friendly staff, inventive rooms! We cant wait to try all of their rooms!

Great expirience, room is very imaginative and owner is very friendly.

Had a really fun first experience here. Ill be back to check out their other rooms!

GTFO Escape Room hands down has the best rooms I have ever played! Ive been lucky enough to play 3 rooms here and each and every time I was not disappointed! Themes are fantastic, there are puzzles for every type of brain, and the fudge is great! Super friendly staff, the owner is always around and very helpful/energetic/kind, and its a positive environment all around! I will be back when they open their new rooms!

Excellent owner, very accommodating. Rooms where very fun.

Absolutely love this place. Have been to 3 different rooms different times of the year and am impressed every time. The workers seem to really have a passion for doing the escape room and make it such an enjoyable experience. You can tell by the way they describe the rooms they love their jobs and really want you to have an amazing experience. The puzzles are challenging and rooms are very creative and detailed. Do yourself a favor and go.

Had a blast!!! My advice do not overthink things

Great eacape room owned by great people. Constantly changed around and improved upon and new rooms added every once and a while. Great for people who already played to have a new experience each time. And great place for escape room noobs to get a start.

Well worth your time to go and do these escape rooms!

Omg I had a really good time. Great group (2+) activity

Lots of fun for big extended family! They even gave us extra time to finish the room. One of the best and most challenging rooms weve played. So awesome!!!

Need a good team building exercise? Want a fresh idea for double date? Get the Fudge out escape room should not be over looked. My friends and I got an obnoxious amount of laughs and gasps while solving this real life (interactive) mystery thriller. Its reasonably priced, friendly, and it will get your adrenaline flowing. I whole hardly recommend a visit.

My husband and I have played almost 30 escape rooms, so needless to say were not always easily impressed. GTFO takes the cake, they were remarkable! We loved their combination of classic puzzles and technology. The experience was really fantastic...easy to book, friendly staff, and a piece of tasty fudge at the end. Do not miss!

Super fun escape room! My boyfriend and I do escape rooms all over the country and thoroughly enjoyed this one! They gave us an extra minute at the end so we could get the fudge out. The room we did was very puzzle based - unlike others that we’ve been to before.

Was a fun experience. Our first time going to an escape room.. impossible without hints. Employees are fun. Definitely try it again.

The Magicians Apparition room was exceptional. We had a issue 10 minutes in that took away from the experience but the owner was wonderful and made it right. We will be back.

Great place to start.

Albeit still in its early stages, this escape room was a lot of fun to escape from. We went for mothers day, and had a good time :)

This was definitely an experience I didnt know I needed until it happened. Definitely one of the best group activities Ive ever done. Puzzles were extremely well thought out and engaging to the very end :)

Amazing experience. My close friends and I got to be a chaotic team and bond in ways Id forgotten we could have. Our brains were picked and our ties were strong. There are plenty of puzzles and plenty of things to do while locked up in the rooms.You will not regret coming to this escape room and making the most out of your intense hour. Its very impressive how the puzzles are designed. This is a place of highly crafted creativity, and you will experience it all with your friends.

This was the most challenging of the three escapes we tried in the Portland area. There was some really creative and artistic touches too. Definitely worth the extra travel time out of the city.

Super friendly staff. Clearly passionate. Ive done 2 escape rooms. This one was easily the better of the two. I look forward to doing the other rooms.

This was so much fun. I brought my 17 year old and his best friend and my 13 year old sons to do trapped. I purchased a groupon, but given the experience, the full price is well worth it. The website advised that there may be other people with us in our room as each room has an 8 person capacity, but it ended up being just us. The staff was so friendly and were very helpful when we got stuck. They knew that we really didnt want the clues, so when they saw we were obviously stuck they would mention on the teleprompters that one of us had expressed an idea that would lead us in the right direction. They boys thoroughly enjoyed the experience and it was so much fun to talk about it on the way home. If you are claustrophobic, you might not like it...but they will let you out if you ask them so your not truly stuck in a room. Also, we thought that it might be nice to have a couple of strangers in the room with us for a different perspective as the boys and I would get on the same thought process which, at times slowed us down.

This up and coming Escape Room provides a perfect blend of friendly fun and a decent challenge for all types. Be you a new-comer to the escape room scene or a veteran escape room enthusiast, this is one for you! Fun with friends AND families!

We did it as a work party and it was phenomenally fun exciting and memorable!

GTFO was such a different but EXTREMELY fun thing to do. Its perfect for people who like a challenge! I went for a bachelorette party and we had a blast! We will definitely be going back.

I was honestly so scared to do this at first because I had not heard much about the place and had to be with some strangers but, it was amazing!! So much fun and would totally go again. Only bad part is they do the same thing for the rooms so if you were to go again you may remember a few things but still tons of fun to go again and again!!Would recommend going!

Very accommodating, great experience for a mixed group of friends! Could also see it being a really good corporate team building event. We will definitely book again.

Kinda cheesy (or fudgey lol) but in a fun way

This place is a lot of fun. Great team building or just casual fun. Challenging.

Of the one escape room Ive visited, this was the best. Fun, challenging and creative, this hidden gem is undoubtedly a highlight of South Portlands small business offerings.

This is such a fun and interesting experience. If you are looking to set up some team-building for teams and co-workers go no further.

Fun and engaging. The rooms were challenging, but could each be solved in its own context. Excellent puzzles, accommodating employees, 5/5.

Entirely in the dark with only a few flashlights so several people were simply following others, very simple puzzles (pretty much everything was locks/codes)

It was a complete blast and a ton of laughs!!! Also had quite a few challenging elements to it!!!

This was so much fun! The puzzles to get out of the room were very well put together and creative, and the fudge was delicious :)

Lots of fun, good puzzles, delicious fudge at the end. Only needs a little improvement on orientation and could enhance with more emphasis on story or ambiance.

The GTFO escape room was challenging but doable. What a fun way for our family to spend an hour working together as a team.

Best escape room experience Ive ever had

Its so fun

Staff are very friendly and were helpful with their hints.

Had a great time. This was a fun way to spend an hour.

This is a really cool fast cool concept cool idea

Very fun to do. Either as a date or with a group of friends

Very fun experience. would definitely do it again.

Had a great time would love to go again anytime

Always a good time!

It was an interesting night and well worth the cost.

Great escape rooms!

Great theme and you actually get great fudge if you get out. So worth the $20

So much fun!! You get fudge when you escape!

SUCCESS!!!! We had a great time!!!

Great spot with super friendly staff!

Love it
