Maine Escape Games

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!

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!
