Great & creative escape rooms. Whoever designed the rooms put a lot of thought and creativity into the design. Our group did the room "A Study in Murder." It was challenging and kept us busy the whole time. Our game master Ezekiel (please forgive me if I misspelled his name) was very kind, cheerful, and helpful. He made our experience so pleasant and memorable. We would recommend this Escape Room to other groups.😊

We had a generally good experience, but we walked away unhappy because of a few specific aspects. We didn’t have a bad enough experience to say we’ll never be back, but we also didn’t leave with any real desire to come back anytime soon. The rest of this review contains extremely minor spoilers for Lunar Escape.
Here are some of the things that happened during our game that contributed to the negative experience:
- We were discouraged from exploring. For example, we found a key, so we put the key in a lock and tried to turn the key. Our game master interrupted over the walkie talkie to tell us it was the wrong key for the lock, and that we shouldn’t try to force it.
- The worst and most frustrating thing happened when we found a cabinet. On the cabinet door was a sign saying something like “do not pull open”. At this point, we’d already been given three warnings (one before the game started and another two during) about not touching things or being gentle with things. So, we left the cabinet alone and chased our tails for another ten minutes before we finally asked for a hint. Turns out we were supposed to pull open the other door of the same cabinet.
- There was a whiteboard attached to the wall. Every puzzle where we needed or wanted to write something down was far enough away from the whiteboard that we had to yell back and forth across the room to solve simple math problems or relay other information. We would have appreciated a portable whiteboard or a slate or something. -
My group of 8 did the Exit Protocol room and had a blast! We loved that it was very challenging and there were so many clues in the room. Our Game Master was Hannah and did a great job!

Our team had a fantastic experience at Bull City Escape! We successfully escaped from the Exit Protocol room, and it was an excellent team-building activity. The challenges were engaging, well-designed, and required everyone to communicate and work together to solve the puzzles.
A special thank you to Esekiel T., who was an outstanding host. He was welcoming, enthusiastic, and helped make the experience even more enjoyable from start to finish.
If you're looking for a fun, challenging, and rewarding team-building activity, I highly recommend Bull City Escape. We had a great time and are already looking forward to coming back to try another room! -
We had a blast at Bull City Escape! 4 of us tackled the Study in Murder room and barely escaped with 1 minute left. It was the first escape room for 3 of us, so we weren’t sure what to expect, but our game master Ezekiel was fabulous and made the whole process comfortable and fun. The puzzles were difficult but fun and absolutely solvable. There was a good variety of puzzles, and the couple times we got stuck, the hints we asked for were really helpful and didn’t give the puzzle away.
