This place was great. The staff came in on their day off to make sure our group was able to participate due to scheduling conflicts. They were incredibly kind and helpful. The uncommon room was a fun challenge and everyone enjoyed it. Thanks for a great experience.

Our crew had a great time with this experience. Most of us were newbies to escape rooms and everyone is excited to come again. We chose this location because of the option of giving to a local non-profit, and the staff was very helpful!

My family and I had so much fun! So much that we did 2 in a row! Kids were super excited and were able to participate all the way out! The staff was nice and welcoming, very funny and patient. Will Definitely come back!!

Went here for my son's birthday party and was very impressed. The charitable business model drew us in, but the people here sealed the deal. The (Un)common room was excellently designed with the right mix of challenges and pacing. Everyone on staff was extremely friendly and helpful, from our first phone conversation through to our tension-filled exit of the room. Looking forward to returning soon for another room!

We did the airplane themed room and it was so fun!! The staff explained everything well and the props were super cool. The puzzles were challenging but not impossible and the clues were well designed. Had such a fun time! Highly recommend!

We did the airplane themed room. The setup was great. My wife and I really enjoyed it. We also had the pleasure of meeting the owner who was very nice.

Our large work group came here, and thoroughly enjoyed our time (14 people). We were split into two teams, and had such a fantastic time trying to “escape”. The puzzles were intricate, and though neither team made it out, we ALL had a really wonderful time. The owner was a gracious host, and we plan to return to try again. Definitely do it. It is a great value and a fun team event.

What a fun time for a group of teens, most who have never done an escape room. I loved the sun theme and it was a great way to see teamwork and build bonds! Thank you!

Absolutely great experience! Staff was friendly, helpful, clear, detailed, and flexible. This was our first time trying an escape room (there were four of us and we chose the “uncommon room”). We loved every minute of it and had a fantastic time. We will absolutely be going back to try the other rooms!

Escape on Purpose was great! The game itself was challenging and fun, yet solvable! We will be back! And our host was SUPER! She explained everything to us, she played her 'role' as our flight attendant perfectly, and was super gracious! And I love how they let your group play privately, no matter how many are in your group!

What a fun experience! My husband and I went on a Saturday evening with another couple. Although we did not know what to expect, the experience exceeded anything we could have imagined. The moment we entered the room, it was evident that each person's problem-solving skills would complement the group's efforts. The staff was so nice and helped put us at ease since they were always there to give us a little boost if we asked. The room seemed mundane at first, but each clue discovery made it seem like the place kept expanding. We will be back with a little more courage and a better grasp on thinking logically and strategically in pursuit of escaping on purpose.

The husband and wife that run the place are so welcoming! We were invited in by their dogs and them and my family had a great time. Not only that, they give some of the money we paid to charity. What else can you ask for?

Our team was in the area for a team building planning session. Howard was phenomenal. He made us feel welcomed and capable. The airplane escape room was just what we needed to explore, communicate and work together highlighting each of our skill sets. I had one of the best times of my life. We started out rough and finished strong.

Such a great and fun experience! The staff facilitating our games did a great job. I especially appreciate the fact that Escape On Purpose accommodated a flexible schedule for our team-building event. The games were challenging with a wide range of difficulty. The first escape room experience for my team members, and they loved it. Highly recommend!

It was an awesome experience. The staff is super cool and were part of the experience. The room itself was a bit harder than I expected, but it was not rocket science. The parts of the room that appeared to be very hard were simply because we were overthinking it. We will definitely come back for the other rooms!!!
