We did the Terror in the Sky. It was fantastic! There were lots of locks and puzzles that were lots of fun. Our game master Salem was so enthusiastic and helpful!

Had a fantastic experience with friends at Escape on Purpose! Salem was super friendly and the room itself was challenging but fun! I will be coming back, hopefully with no hints on the next run.

Our game master was great! Shout out to Attic! However, comparing this experience to other escape rooms we have done.. we couldn’t help but feel disappointed. The puzzles were all linear, meaning members couldn’t work on any other task without completing the first puzzle. We also felt that the vibe of the room itself wasn’t exciting or engaging. My favorite thing about an escape room is the creative ways put in place to challenge participants but I felt there wasn’t much creativity here. Also some of the puzzles didn’t unlock when they were completed.

We decided to do a small sweet 16 birthday party for our daughter here. And her and her friends had a blast. I had never done an escape room and was excited to do it both my husband and I had fun. We want to do more and are aiming for that.

We had a group of 4 adults and we did The Uncommon Room challenge. It was an amazing experience! We all had a blast. We made it out in 56 minutes. This room is one of the more challenging options at this location and considering we were all new to the escape room scene, we weren't sure what to expect. We asked for 3 hints along the way which we later found out is pretty impressive for this particular experience. All 4 of us were actively engaged at all time and we had a lot of fun! Salem was on staff and she was super professional and helpful and she really added to our experience in a very positive way. We highly recommend Escape on Purpose and we hope to return soon to try another challenge.

My family and I have done quite a few escape rooms all over the country and really enjoyed Terror on the Skies. The game master, Salem, was just great, the puzzles were difficult and the room is immersive. A fee things to improve: the 4 digitit locks is a bit repetitive. This room is calling out for different lock types. Directional, word, RFID... get a bit more creative. There are no audio effects. Adding audio could improve the immersion and also a sense of urgency, of which there was none. We will come back and do all the other rooms before the end of the summer.

A fun time! We did (T)Error in the Sky. Most of us had never done an escape room before. We were a bit unorganized but escaped with 42 seconds left! All of us agreed that we will come back to do some of the other rooms. Don’t miss this great adventure!

What an amazing time! Not only was our host the sweetest but she was very good at her job, explained our mission well and in the end we ESCAPED! huge props to the owners as well for making such an amazing experience inside the room, it was exceptionally decorated and really made us feel like we were transported under water. We will be back to try our hand at the other rooms

We had a group of nine do the airplane room (Terror in the Skies) for a birthday. It was so fun and casual! Hints were unlimited, so even though the puzzles had enjoyable difficulty, we didn't stress out, and the room guide was supportive and funny!

We brought 10 VERY excited girls to celebrate an 11th birthday. The staff were patient and kind, even granting them a few extra minutes so they could escape successfully. Thank you for a fun, memorable event!

Our second trip here, Escape on Purpose is so much fun!! Rooms are so well-thought out and keep any puzzle-lover on their toes! Owner and staff are very friendly, and spaces are very clean. Will definitely continue to support this business and gladly refer anyone here looking for a great time. Love that part of the proceeds go to charity as well!

We went to Escape on Purpose for a teambuilding offsite, and it was so much fun! When I picked Escape on Purpose, I did so because we could have some fun while supporting the charity of our choice (Wounded Warriors) and that made this day even better. AND, we escaped with 4 sec to spare. Whew! I'd definitely come back and try another room. Great experience!
