Using teamwork, wit, logic, and keen powers of observation and problem-solving, you must find clues and solve a series of puzzles to escape the room in 60 minutes. Each room offers a new, live-action adventure for you and your family, friends, and colleagues. Escape Rooms are a rising entertainment trend that originated in Japan in 2007 and have been popping up in major cities around the world ever since. This attraction is suitable for various groups such as families, sports teams, coworkers, date night, birthday celebrations, girls/guys night out, etc. As a company of four individuals who call Maine their home, we have carefully designed each aspect of this business using our Yankee ingenuity. Our goal is to present an experience to our guests that immerses them in the tasks at hand and leaves them feeling challenged yet satisfied that they just participated in an activity that they will be discussing long after they try and escape.

Wow, what an amazing experience! Our team of four Escape Room veterans tackled all four of these rooms in one day, after having scheduled them according to increasing difficulty rating. We were able to complete all of them ("The Estate", "Alien Invasion", "Uncle Ned's Cabin", and "Escape Your Fears") before time ran out...with the closest being only two seconds left. It's hard to pick a favorite here since there's such a wide variety of puzzles and themes; all of them were executed extremely well and provided memorable immersive experiences. We didn't encounter technical glitches in any of the rooms and the staff was helpful, enthusiastic, and friendly. These are possibly the most attentive game-masters we have encountered so far: requested hints were given almost instanteously and were at just the right level to get us going again...not too hard, and not too easy. And they were obviously paying attention to us every inch of the way because the nudges they provided were timed perfectly. During the celebratory group photo session we were told that another Wizard-themed room is in the making, so we'll watch for that one when we are in the area again!

My husband and I just completed two of the rooms at Bangor Escape Rooms - Quest for the King’s Crown and the Game Museum. Let me preface this review by saying that we have each done 50+ In-person rooms, plus a handful of virtual rooms during the pandemic. These were the first in person rooms that we’ve done in nearly 14 months, so we were excited to shake off the cobwebs a bit. We started with the Quest room and it was very well done. Pretty immersive, a good variety of puzzles, and overall flowed well from element to element. There were some puzzles that we hadn’t seen before, which is very difficult given the number of rooms we have done. Fantastic room for first timers. That being said - it was only two of us and we got out with ~25 minutes to spare. Veterans may want to look to some of the other rooms for more of a challenge, or go in knowing that this is a solid but limited experience and just have a good time. We personally had such a good time with that room and the host, DJ, was so welcoming that we asked if we could book another room - Game Museum - on site. He did warn us that it was their hardest room, but still we wanted to at least see it even if we didn’t get out. This is a very unique room. I don’t want to spoil anything, but would highly recommend for newbies or veteran escapers alike. Certainly doable by two people, but we would have benefited from 1 or 2 additional set of hands because there’s so much to do in this one. We escaped, but only after an additional 5 minutes on the clock. In general, I think some of the elements of both games could be replaced (some props/clues with paint that had worn off, some laminated cards that might be in need of a refresh, etc.) but nothing that really detracted from the game play. In speaking with DJ, it’s clear that he and his partner just purchased the space a few months ago and are very passionate about escape rooms. I’m excited to see everything that Bangor Escape Rooms has to offer in the future, and wouldn’t hesitate to repeat the 2 hour drive to visit again.

River Valley's first escape room! Our room "The Dojo" is currently open, with another room, "The Alley" on the way. We also have two portable, 10-minute escape rooms, "The Crystal Slipper" and "Dazed and Transfused". Come check us out!

Being the first team of two people to not only beat this game, but to set a new record for the game felt pretty good! The Dojo was a fantastic game and I highly recommend that everyone goes to play it. There is also a pho place not too far from here that is a tiny place with some amazing art outside and some of the best pho I've had in a while. :)

We're the lock, you're the key! The adventure game that has gained popularity world-wide has finally arrived in Portland, Maine! In 60 minutes or less, your group will work as a small team to escape the locked room by cracking codes and solving puzzles. This is a perfect outing for a group of friends, family members, or coworkers.

When booking an escape room (after having gone to escape rooms before), I'm nervous that we will get a location with chintzy props or limited interactivity. No need to worry here. We did the London Blitz, and you could hear background noise of planes and sirens outside. Very detailed environment with high quality clues and materials. The puzzles were very solveable (our family of 4 finished using 2 clues with 13 minutes left on our timer), yet challenging enough to be enjoyable. Our group ranges from 11 years to (ahem) middle age adults and there were ways for everyone to contribute. Additionally, we felt very comfortable with covid precautions in place, and host staff were very friendly and accommodating.

We're in the middle of a two-week tour of New England with a group of 12-14 year old boys and decided to give GTFO Escape Rooms a try. They loved it. We loved it. Very friendly staff. Very challenging rooms. Everyone had fun. The group I was with needed a bunch of clues (I'm clueless myself) and finally the owner came in to explain the things we couldn't figure out. Our other group in another room managed to do better. We all got the fudge. I definitely recommend this as a team-building experience, as a way to stretch your mind, or just as a way to have a blast!
