We did "The Dig" Escape the room for my guys b day and it wasn't fun at all! The rooms were barren and the lights kept turning off. The puzzles were very difficult and you could only work on one at a time. We didn't make it out on time and the guide never gave us the answers to the riddles we had been struggling with. Very frustrating! Alt least at the end we got good photos with fun props. I would however reccomend Alice in Wonderland Escape the Room near South Street! That room was visually spectacular and the puzzles were more interactive and fun.

We didn’t get out! That’s ok. Dad and kids, 13, 11 and 9. Got close and we enjoyed the experience. Not our first rodeo mind you. Def will go back.
Parking is a pain ob...center city. Still much fun and looking forward to another challenge.

I had great fun at Escape the Room Philly. Of course, we accidentally picked the hardest escape room and there were only the two of us but we enjoyed ourselves. Michaela (not sure if I spelled it right) was AMAZING! Super friendly, helpful and gave good hints. I would definitely go back again (to a less difficult room)!

Very Fun experience. My first time going. I decided to bring a friend and we got to experience it together. We definitely had to use our brains lol. We got far and found a lot of clues but unfortunately didn’t make it out the room in time. I look forward to trying the other rooms.

Great family outing. Team work makes the dream work. Everyone brings something to the table. Amazing how little things that are usually overlooked plays such a big part. Non-stop movement and loads of fun.

There were many parts of the game that were broken or even straight up missing. One puzzle, we finished, but it wasn’t unlocking and so we became stuck. One of the doors was already open when we went into the other room, and one of the puzzle’s hidden compartments were revealed. In fact, in order to solve the entire game, we were missing one of the key parts of the solution, so even if we did figure the puzzle out, we wouldn’t have escaped.

I’ve heard of these type of venues, but my actual first time visiting. What a great activity. Ours was corporate team building related, but could be a family activity or part of a friends group night out. It was fun, challenging, frustrating (not too much, tho) and exciting, especially when the ‘escape’ is solved! GreT staff, very helpful and made it an enjoyable and memorable afternoon.

I had an amazing time when I went to Escape the Room Philly.
It was my first time doing the escape and I had such an amazing time that I want to go do escape rooms weekly.
Escape the Room Philly is very challenging, it is amazing. They have so many different rooms in one escape mission. Love this place, cant wait to do another one.

I've done a lot of escape rooms with different companies in the area. With this group, I've done the office and the agency. Escape Room Philly is my absolute favorite by far! Great experience. Hard rooms and so so fun to work through! Everytime we leave, we immediately start planning the next visit.

How many people can u get in a room? Would like to book for a 60 burthday
Written November 3, 2017
We had 8 in our group, which was a good number. You could probably do a few more, maybe 10 or 12, but I wouldn't go higher than that.

Hello, I've tried several times and for several weeks to leave messages and speak with someone about booking a corporate, team building event. I've not been able to get a call back. How can I reach someone, best. I've used the number provided at this website. Please advise.

Yes, two could do it though it would be more difficult. In any case, if other people wish to book into your time slot, they will add them to your group (up to a maximum of 10) so although you might book as a couple, you could be put in with a group of others.
Written December 19, 2015
Yes, you are placed with another group. We had 5 in our group, 2 more people joined us. We all worked together and had a great time. I imagine you could play alone if there were no other bookings for your time, but I assume they try to fill the spots available.
