Scott and his crew were absolutely amazing hosts. Im visiting from Texas, so naturally me and my friends decided to keep the tradition of going to escape rooms alive. We are currently on an 8 row winning streak.Brendan was our Game Master, and absolutely all around good guy. He explained the specifics of their rooms, told the back story well, and answered any questions we had. He didnt jump in with help unless we asked for it, which was great, because it allowed us to work through the puzzles.We did two rooms: Dr. Madblood and The Pirates Treasure. Both were nicely themed, with a nice variety of puzzles, suitable to every type of individual (Word puzzles, logic puzzles, hidden switches, etc..).Overall, a really nice location, and can not be beat for the price. Definitely provides a good evening of fun.
Mystery Manor was awesome. The staff were kind and professional. They explained things, and gave great guidance to us novices. We highly recommend the experience!
Did the Pirates Room. It was very fun. Enjoyed it. The hour was well worth the trip, time and money. Definitely a must do for those who like solving puzzles & riddles.
The room was a lot of fun and the staff was super friendly! I would highly reccomend, amazing price (less than half what another popular escape room tried to charge us), and we got a private room. They can accommodate a group of 2 if thats all you have, but they have several really cool rooms for groups of 4-8!
I had an awesome time. It was exciting and so much fun
So great. Did the Titanic room and it was awesome. First time doing an escape room. (Had to get some hints). Staff was great and helped just enough to get us unstuck. Will definitely go back.
Had a great time. Staff was awesome and cant wait to go back
Fun time, great date activity. Looking forward to trying the other rooms
This place was awesome? Did two escape rooms and nailed them both!!! Definitely recommend this place! Great customer service and excellent puzzles
Lots of fun and very challenging. Friendly staff, too. Definitely recommend it for a fun family activity.
Really enjoyed it! Got to go back do the rest of the rooms!
We escaped! We had a great time! Thank you!
I cannot say enough great things about Countdown Escape Rooms!! We just left there after having a party for my daughters 10th birthday. The kids LOVED it!! We did the science lab themed one and they thoroughly enjoyed themselves.Scott the owner was patient with me over the phone as I set up (and then confirmed) the details for our visit. Everything was seamless and perfect!!This was the perfect place to host her party and I highly recommend them to groups and individuals alike!!
Great family fun!! Staff was very nice!@
A very enjoyable first experience.
Lots and lots of FUN!
For our first time, we definitely enjoyed it. It was just challenging enough to allow us to still enjoy it a whole lot as a family. We can definitely recommend going to this location.
My friends and I just went here to celebrate a birthday! Great staff! We did the hardest room and just made it by the skin of our teeth. Definitely a place to check out. Will be back soon!
Great escape room options and levels. Friendly and professional staff. It was very entertaining for all 5 of us. Call ahead for reservations.
My family and I came here on a whim initially. Wed done another escape room place before, and hadnt liked that much because we had to share the room with some strangers, which just felt awkward. But the fact that Countdown doesnt do that made us give it another try, and were so glad we did.We did the pirate treasure room first. Within a couple days of doing that, we were already organizing days to do the rest of the rooms with various friends of ours.We had one small hiccup in getting started our second time there. But they handled it very well, and we all left very satisfied, and are looking forward to doing the fourth room in a few weeks.
The people are amazing and very helpful, they explain everything, and if you get stuck the magical voice from above is there to give you hints. A fun time was had by all. A convenient location close to the interstate. Cant wait to try more rooms. Definitely a must!!!!
Very good escape rooms. They keep track of your progress and offer to provide hints if you fall behind which can be helpful. Rooms are challenging and a lot of fun.
When I went with my friends yesterday, they had cool themes to choose from. My group did Madbloode and it was extremely fun and you get to use teamwork along with other skills t get out. Totally recommend Madblood if you like creepy vibe places. The staff is super friendly and helpful if u get completely stuck. Im definitely going back.
My husband and I went tonight and did the pirate treasure Room. It was our 1st time and it was awesome! I highly recommend this place. The staff was so kind and helpful. Great experience!
1st time to one of these places so I have nothing to comlair it too. Did the Titanic room they said it was a 3 on a 1 to 5 scale of toughness. We got out in 37 minutes. Good time. Could have been a little better maintained.
Great experience!!! Nate and staff did a great job. Great with kids also. Gets their creative minds thinking. Cant wait to go back and try a different room.
Did the Pirate room with my boyfriend and we made it out with 9 and a half minutes to spare! Brendan was a fantastic game master and only gave us hints (which were very well-worded) when we were super stuck. The room itself was absolutely decorated to the theme in every square inch of the room and it was adorable. Very clever use of the space, super fun puzzles, even the checkin guy Ian was friendly and nice to chat with before and after the room. We cant wait to do the rest of the rooms! (:
Good skill levels, lots of math science and deduction, high School level stuff. Made you think. Good for whole family
We played the Science room and it was so insanely fun! It was challenging but incredibly fun and the game master was so kind and helpful! I wish I could remember his name because he was awesome! The room was decorated well and the props were soooo cool. I will definitely be back!
Staff was great. We did the Titanic room. It was our first time and we escaped! Loved it
Very engaging and entertaining. Staff does a wonderful job facilitating the puzzle, without intruding on your adventure. Would definitely recommend.
This was so much fun absolutely excellent me and my family had a great time and yours will too I definitely recommend it!*
Fantastic time in the Pirate’s Treasure!
Went with my coworkers. It was cool.
Best escape room in the area! Most friendly and helpful staff! The rooms are original and have great flow! Will definitely be back with more people!
1st time i ever did an escape room and they were completely friendly understanding to children in the waiting area and people with anxiety in small places. The experience was wonderful. I would go back there and try all their rooms.
It was so much fun! We were nervous at first, but if youre shy of other people you can have the room just for your group. We had some trouble w/clues, but Courtney was there when we were truly stumped. She was super helpful! Such a fun way to spend a Sunday. Thanks!
Great time for ab reasonable price. Got a Groupon for a game for 8. Helpful staff.
My sister had tickets so all 7 of us piled up into the small room and had tons of fun. I think it was great and the worker there was very friendly and helpful
I had a Great time with the escape room i highly recommend them the staff was Awesome and very patient. Definitely worth the trip
I thought this place was great! It was very unique and quite different than other escape rooms I have done. They didn’t just have the same old puzzles like in other escape rooms. It was quite challenging, but not unbelievably difficult. Loved it and would highly recommend if you are looking for one to do! Recommend Doctor Madbloods Mystery Manor!
Took the boys tonight so they could have a go at the Pirate room! Finished with 3 minutes to spare! The boys loved it and want to go back!
The room was well put together and challenging. The staff was helpful and made the experience great
This was our first time trying one of these escapes and it was FUN! The hour goes by fast and the guy helped us when we got stuck on a clue...definitely a great find! The clues and everything else about the experience fit the room theme (Titanic) and had cool hidden treasures.
We’ve been to this location a few times. We always have a good time. The rooms are interesting and fun to play!
They were reasonably priced and my family had a great experience. I would definitely recommend this place to a y and everyone.
Did The Pirates Treasure room. Smaller than an average escape room, but still packs in quite a lot to find and solve. Our Game Master greeted us on entry and helped guide us without being completely blatant in his hints. The communication speaker had a slight issue of playing a radio station, but it did not detract from the immersion as much as you may expect. Very challenging, but escaped with around 1 minute remaining. Was given a tour of 2 other rooms: Dr. Madblood and the Science room. Both rooms are very nicely laid out, but we were advised that (as there is a lot more to do in these rooms compared to the Pirate room) 3 or 4 people would be recommended to play. So much fun and somewhat addictive. Definitely recommended.
Very enjoyable, nice staff. They have rooms for smaller parties, so we did it as a 2-person date night. Rooms have nice aesthetics. Would recommend.
I had a fantastic time at Escape Room Challenge in the Titanic room. The puzzles are designed linearly so you know exactly which one you should be working on next. Unlimited hints are provided but, when asked for, theyre just helpful enough to prod you in the right direction without outright giving you the answer. Overall, a ton of fun, and the staff were very supportive and keen on improving. Call ahead for Groupon deals!
Great fun with coworkers!!
Great time! I love the fact that just our team could play in the room.
Friendly staff - we had a lot of fun.
It was a great time! Not too easy, but not impossible either. Super fun.
Did the Pirate Treasure Room and had a blast!
Awesome place. Great people work there. Cant wait to do it again.
I had a great time. I went with my sister for her birthday. I cant wait to take my family.
It was fun to try to solve the mystery.
Our company went as a team building exercise and had a great time! The staff was very friendly and easy to work with on scheduling and made the experience a really fun time!
We made last minute reservations and had a GREAT time, Im so glad we decided to go. Lots of fun, would recommend to anyone.
Had a great time with madblood mystery room and titanic in the same night. Well worth the price, challenging and rewarding, great group entertainment.
We celebrated our daughters 16th birthday with her friends here. It was great. The kids loved it.
Great Place ! the staff is very helpful and friendly. Did the Titanic room very fun will definitely be back to try the other rooms!
