ROOM 5280 - Denver Live Escape Games

Escape room center

πŸ‘ Pretty cool place. Looks like an old home. Just outside of downtown. The worker was very nice and chill. The puzzles were a bit easy for my escape room veteran friends but I'm guessing they have harder rooms. The theming was a bit amateurish and not that funny like I think was the intent. People often mention room, escape, puzzles, group, time,

    Our family has developed a small addiction to escape rooms in the last year, and we decided to give 5280 a try before a few of us have to return home from the holiday break. We were greeted by a very friendly staff member (owner?) who signed is in with ease and explained the rules of the Sherlock Room with thoroughness and a positive attitude. I especially appreciated her patience with a toddler in our group who was flinging themselves around the room while we were being briefed. In general the service and approachability here is excellent and they really do put in the extra effort to make you feel welcome and engaged. The Sherlock Holmes room itself was good, but not great, particularly compared to some other Colorado escape rooms we've visited. The puzzles were decently designed, but the room felt sparse, and the use of an electronic intercom interface suspended reality a little bit. We found most of the puzzles to be creative except for the final two which were either obvious (though we were told it stumps some groups) or a little tedious (although still very cleverly designed.) In all, I'd recommend it, and I know our group is excited to try their more challenging Heist room.

    A fun, challenging experience. This was my first time in an escape room, and my group was in the β€œHeist” room. The puzzles along the way required some thought as well as trial and error, but they weren’t overly complicated. Would recommend for a group of friends or family.

    My first time doing an escape room and I loved it!!! So much!! Now that I have an idea of how they work...I want to do more. The host was informative and nice, and the others that we were joining were fun. I love clues and working together to figure out how to open the door! I chose this one for the success rate and we did win...with only seconds to spare! Highly recommend for a first time and I think I want to try the harder room next!

    Really fun with a group of friends! Never have done an escape room before but had a great time. The puzzles were challenging and interesting, using a variety of physical and interactive clues.

    We came here for a bachelor party, and this place is amazing. It’s definitely worth doing The Heist, the escape room we tried here, although with the right-size group you probably won’t need the full 60 minutes. The guys who run the place are fantastic as well, and your group will definitely have a fun time here.

    Awesome! Did Their Sherlock room with a group of friends last night and had a blast. This is my 3rd escape room- the puzzles are very unique and challenging. I believe this is one of their hardest rooms. Absolutely loved it.

    Cass is the best! She made special accommodations for my family situation which means the world to us. Unique escape room and experience. The only downside is that it was a little overpriced and the room was extremely hot with no air conditioning.

    We just did the escape room last night. Millionaire heist. It was my first escape room, and we did it with only 3 clues, suck on that. It was such a fun experience. So many different puzzles and what not. So much fun, I didn't realize how fun an escape room was. Honestly I thought the idea of an escape room was pretty dumb, however just like the scooters downtown, once I tried it, completley changed my mind. Incredible amount of fun, really have to think outside the box. A few of the puzzles we got lucky with, but it was overall amazing. The Gamemaster was great too, told us about Shelock (I think) which sounded fun. Now I want to do this with my coworkers. If you are on the fence about doing an escape room, pull the trigger you won't regret it. Also, be sure to invite your intelligent friends, some of the puzzles were quite tricky.

    The Heist is very cool room! If you wanna feel like Ocean's 11-12-13 you should try to rob a millionaire. Stylish design and tricky puzzles - we had to make our brains work, plus we had fun as well. Thank you Room 5280! We will come back to try other rooms.

    I recently went to Room 5280 and my group and I had an amazing time! I have been to other Escape Rooms and this was definitely on another level - the attention to detail and the fun was off the charts and there were twists I did not see coming. I would highly recommend it and can't wait to visit again to try another game!! Exciting and fun :)

    We had a Bachelorette Party for my soon-to-be sister-in-law here and it was awesome! We did the Dark Room and it was so much fun. I highly recommend this place. The puzzles were creative and the host was awesome and funny.

πŸ‘πŸ‘ Our family had a wonderful time in the Egyptian Tomb room! I loved that there was always something each of us could be working on and the clues/puzzles were very creative.

😠 The room was extremely small. There were clues you were supposed to handle right next to stickers that said "do not touch." We didn't get hints when requested and the guy who worked there was super rude and dismissive. He literally ignored requests to repeat stuff, and our questions. Keep in mind yo...

πŸ‘πŸ‘ We visited escapology on a whim after seeing an ad on social media. We've gone to quite a few escape rooms but not a restaurant/bar escape room. We could quickly see why this place has already earned a high rating on Google. The bar/restaurant was themed beautifully with a steampunk/mechanical vibe...
