We had the best, good time at a Great Escape Mystery Rooms!! It was our first time to do one & they were so helpful & patient helping us “get a clue!” We were quite impressed with the ingenuity of the clues & the variety of challenging rooms to choose between. Thanks for a great experience! We will be ready to try again...& escape this time!

I called to ask about availability. The staff (I think Candace?) was great. She called me back to update me on rooms that were open for the evening. When we got there, the other staff member was there and she was fantastic as well. We did the Bayou room and LOVED it!! Weve done rooms in Dallas that were good, but honestly I think this was even better. We liked it so much we did another room right after! Lol, we did the hard room, and loved it even more if possible. We live in Dallas, but plan on returning some day just to do the other rooms. Dont wait, just go, it is worth it. The rooms flow well and have nice story lines. Ft. Smith is lucky to have such great escape rooms.

We have now been to three of their four escape rooms and they are so fun and engaging. You find yourself thinking of multiple scenarios to try and solve the clues. I highly recommend them if you are looking for an amazing time that also allows you to decompress!

We just discovered escape rooms this past year. This room was wonderfully challenging and fun! We were only in town for a overnight, but wish we could be around for more visits. The owners were kind, friendly, and responded to our online questions quickly. Take your group here! We did the Prison Break room. We needed some hints, but we escaped!

My husband loves escape rooms and wants to do one every year for his birthday! This was our first time at Great Escape in Van Buren, AR..we were not disappointed! We did Prison Break. It was soooo much fun! Probably our new favorite escape room place! We will most definitely be back and try the Haunted HotelBest part was being locked inside of the jail

This is a great place to have fun with your friends and family. My friends and I did all 3 rooms. All 3 had there challenges and each room was fun and unique in there own way that made each experience fun. The easiest was the haunted hotel. The most fun was prison escape. the FBI was the most challenging but still a was a lot of fun.

I took a group of kids 11 and under and they all had a great time. We were a little slow at figuring things out at times but they definitely enjoyed it and would like to do another one. We did Prison Break and it was completely family friendly which was great. I feel like it is very likely we will do this again. The pricing here was competitive; the facility was clean and the staff was awesome.

I wanted to do something fun for my birthday. I was not let down. I had a great time. Fun, challenging. The only bad thing was it was so hot in the room. Other than that it is a fun evening with friends and family. This can be fun for kids too. It would make a great family night .

I Really Enjoy places like this and dont want to Bash This place. Haunted Hotel wasnt really impressive. Doesnt Flow very good from one clue to the other. VERY CONFUSING. We did others through the years, this one has been the worst we been to. NOTE, Just the Haunted Hotel though. OTHER Rooms r better but this one needs help with the Transition from one clue to other.

I booked a room for my husbands birthday. We went with his family and we had a BLAST! I am a total newbie to escape rooms and enjoyed myself immensely! The staff were friendly and accommodating, the puzzles were the right amount of challenging, interesting and fun, and the whole experience was just so great! We were all super pleased with our experience, and we will be back for more! If you are looking for a fun escape room experience, you will love this place!

Best date night ever! We have been to multiple escape rooms at three different locations, and FBI academy was the best one yet. It was challenging, engaging and exciting. It is located in historic downtown Van Buren, giving it added appeal with a great environment. The staff was super friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back!

Wonderful experience! Brian, the owner, was very welcoming. We did both rooms the heist and back to school. We have done ten different escape rooms back in Texas and this is one of the best ones we have done. When we come back to Arkansas next year we will definitely be back!!!!

Such a fun escape room! The room layout was simple, but the puzzles were intricately woven & well thought out. Not too easy, not too hard. You leave feeling like youve really accomplished something. The owner was very professional & accommodating to our needs. We purchased a Groupon & split the cost 8 ways for an affordable, entertaining evening. We cant wait to go back & try another room!

Best escape room Ive been to in the area. The clues are more linear and make more sense than some other places Ive been. That doesnt make it easy by any means.

Had our sons 9th birthday party here. 2 rooms, 2 adults and 5 kids in each. One team beat the other by 10 seconds. We had a great time and the kids loved it. Prison escape was the best.

An excellent escape room experience. It was our first time ever and it was really fun and non-intimidating which was nice. The staff is great and helpful as well.

Review №47

Very cool puzzles. When we went there it was getting new customers by the minute. How in the world the owner gets everything set up so quickly Ill never know. Owner was very friendly, and professional. Different themes for different rooms. The puzzles are meant for groups of 4-9 to work through, but if you have a smaller group thats clever, you can accomplish getting out of the escape room too. As soon as I can get some more people together Ill be going back.
