We had an incredible time at Enter the Imaginarium with our group of three! While it is a little pricey compared to some other spots, it is well worth the cost because it is more of an immersive experience than just your standard escape room. The production value is top-tier; you can tell a lot of heart and soul went into the set design and atmospheric storytelling. It felt like we were stepping into a completely different world rather than just a puzzle room. Even with a smaller group, the flow was great and we felt fully engaged the entire time. We will definitely be returning to do the other rooms!

Well done and very immersive experience. Probably the best in the area for immersion. We did Mind's Eye and enjoyed that it had different elements than others we have done. Describing too much here would take away from the experience so I won't give details. It was the right amount of challenge and we escaped with only a couple minutes to spare - which is what we want from an escape room. Our Order guide was perfect and gave just the right amount of help. There were 6 of us ranging from 20s to 60s. The one thing about this room is that I would not recommend having more than 6 people. The puzzles were too serial to allow everyone to participate all the time even with just 6 people. Definitely recommend for a fun and challenging hour.

This was an excellent escape room. High production value, unique and fun, above average difficulty, but fair, puzzles. Lots of conversation on the way back home afterwards about our favorite parts of the experience. The host, in costume and character, was great too.

I’ve taken my kids here twice and it is such an awesome family experience! Everyone stays in character and it’s so much fun. We didn’t get through the escape room either time, but still had a blast. It’s a unique and memorable experience.

We visited Enter the Imaginarium for a work event on a Saturday evening, 12 total staff members with 6 to a team. One group did the Inventor's Paradox and the other did Mind's Eye. Unfortunately, neither team "escaped," however, it was still a super fun experience! It definitely requires more brainpower than we expected for some of the puzzles (especially for Mind's Eye), but the staff there did come over the loudspeaker with clues when we got super stuck. It also was very fun that the staff was in character, that definitely added to the experience! Jason was amazing at helping coordinate the event and giving us pricing, dates, etc., and I would absolutely recommend this for anyone looking to go as a group or just with friends/family!
