LabEscape

I really enjoyed the physics tilt of this escape room. With a group of 4 kids and 3 adults, we barely "escaped" with ~5 minute remaining but had a ton of fun for the entire hour. Time flew by! Our host graciously provided us with very subtle but helpful nudges to make sure we didn't get too far off track. I'm so very grateful that the host made himself available on Thanksgiving evening and helped my family come together for a genuine bonding experience. I may not truly understand how diagonally polarized light behaves (|D = (1/2) [|V + |H]?) but I do understand that this escape room is well worth your time and $. Enjoy!

My group and I went for the Quantum Salvation escape game. The puzzles were a lot of fun because they were based on scientific effects. It was very cool that the puzzles were both fun to solve and informative about quantum science. Highly recommend this escape room!

I had an amazing experience at the LabEscape! The puzzles were incredibly clever, blending physics concepts with challenging riddles that kept us engaged from start to finish. The staff was helpful and enthusiastic, which really enhanced the whole experience. It's a fantastic way to have fun and learn a bit about physics at the same time. Highly recommend for anyone looking for an intellectually stimulating outing!

Had a great time! The escape room was very well designed. It shows how cool physics is in a hands on way

We had a stellar experience with Lab Escape. The puzzles were thoughtful and challenging but well-balanced for both experienced participants and newcomers (I consider myself the latter). The escape room and overall theme featured many Easter Eggs and neat practical correlations to the disciplines of physics and engineering, which our group found engaging. The faculty and staff also took the time afterwards to explain the mechanisms and real world applications behind several of the puzzles. Overall, a very engaging and rewarding experience. I would highly recommend giving this escape room a try!

We participated in this escape room at the end of April. My 13-year old daughter loves escape rooms, so a local friend invited us along with her 12-year-old twins and 10-year-old daughter, as well as my 15-year-old son. (Tip #1: Aim for earlier than 9:00 PM. This escape room requires THINKING and the kids got tuckered out by 10.) However, I and my friend (whose brother is a physicist) loved it and would have stayed all night talking more with the game master/world-renowned physicist hosting us. I hold a doctorate in (medical) anthropology and my friend is an anesthesiologist; we consider ourselves intelligent enough, but it was brought home quickly that quantum physics/mechanics/computing are significant gaps in our knowledge base, lol. The room is designed like a regular escape room, but using scientific axioms, theories, and techniques to solve the puzzles instead of word games and number locks like other (also very fun) escape rooms. This was familiar enough to make it easy to get into the spirit, but different enough to be refreshing and quite challenging. (Not that I can break out of regular escape rooms with any sort of aplomb either.) I appreciated the 15-minute crash course at the beginning on basic scientific principles, such as light and wavelengths, that we would need to draw upon to save the world. All in all, I was really impressed and probably was a bit annoying asking questions and forcing the Physicist, who stayed with us (because of the kids? He could tell at first glance we'd need him?), to give impromptu Physics 101 lectures to answer my persistent demands for explanations of all phenomena quantum (quanta?). Plus, we could barely solve the problems without copious hints, even obvious ones, alas. The only caveat is to brief kids this age that it is not quite like a regular escape room, go earlier in the day, and remind them it is a different kind of thinking and it is amazing humans can think of these things at all. I was humbled at my own ignorance as well as marveled at our collective human brilliance coming to understandings of these aspects of our universe, even if I leave it to others to be the keepers of that knowledge... A small room in a university building, but I took a lot away from it scientifically, intellectually, spiritually...even checked out The Elegant Universe by Brian Greene to try to understand more about the nature of quantum anything. Thanks for creating this unique experience.

Me and all my friends really loved this escape room (engineering and music backgrounds). The science you will learn about while solving puzzles is both visually beautiful and genuinely interesting. Our host/game master, Paul, was fantastic. If you are interested in STEM or just looking for a fun escape room that is great for all levels look no further!

I was worried because I'm in high school and have not taken lots of physics, but the worker gave us hints and I had so much fun!
