Room With A Clue

Escape room center

👍👍 My friends and I did the Sushi Bar Escape Room. We’re a group of 6 university students (19-20 yrs.) and found the room reasonably difficult. In effort to not spoil anything, it was interesting and there were many locks to my delight! If anything, I would like it if there were more rooms/more space/d...

    My friends and I did the Sushi Bar Escape Room. We’re a group of 6 university students (19-20 yrs.) and found the room reasonably difficult. In effort to not spoil anything, it was interesting and there were many locks to my delight! If anything, I would like it if there were more rooms/more space/detail and closer attention to the “plot”. Lastly, the staff were great and I’d like to say thank you for the experience guys! :)

    I've had better experiences at other Breakout rooms on the island. My group decided to tackle the Strange Case room since it has the lowest success percentage according to the website. Our expectations were increased by one of the staff members claiming to us that these were the best escape rooms in the state. Once we started playing, things fell apart pretty quickly. The decor and theming of the room was pretty immersive, but the accompanying puzzles felt unpolished for the most part. Some of the puzzles made sense and/or were gratifying to solve. On the other hand, most were either unintuitive or had such a strange solution that they evoked a "seriously!?" from us rather than a sense of satisfaction. On top of this, our game master spammed us with hints way more than was warranted. We didn't even end up using any of our allotted clues since we got a free hint as soon as we spent more than a minute thinking about any given puzzle. By the last 15 minutes, some of our group actively started ignoring the GM's screen to avoid the unwanted hints. Also, the room was very linear, so there were very few opportunities to break into smaller groups to work on separate puzzles and we instead often found ourselves crowded around a single puzzle. Overall, it was a below average escape room experience due to the quality of the puzzles and the excessive amount of handholding from the GM. Will be returning to other escape room establishments for future experiences. As a footnote, the website advertises a discount code in the form of a riddle. Spoilers ahead: the solution is in the form of Roman numerals, although Alexander the Great was not Roman. We should have taken this as an indication of the quality of the puzzles we would find in the escape room.

    Loved this place! My group escaped from the Secret Agent room, had lots of fun. It's really easy to book, not too crowded. They often offer promo codes to save some coin. My only complaint was that they were in a rush to reset the room before we started and some things were out of place. Otherwise, great fun.

    Room With a Clue was so much fun we went twice in a week! Our game masters, Rain and Casey, were awesome, the quality of puzzles was excellent, and the themes are great! Room With a Clue is perfect for team building, family fun, or challenging yourself!

    My coworkers and I had an absolute blast here!! Though we didn’t “escape”, we did solve a whole bunch of clues. I’m pretty sure if we had another hour and a few more hints from the owner, Paul, we would’ve been successful 😆 😆! All in all it was a great experience! Truly a great team building event!! We will be back!!

    This place is good! we had host (rain) guide us to some of the critical clues and she was attentive and clarified us how to get through the puzzle clearly. We played “a strange case”, managed to solve it with 2 people but it is quite a challenge. if you are experienced and willing to take on a challenge then give it a try. prices were about average compared to other places. puzzles require deductive reasoning and some work to solve which made this game fun. I liked how consistent this puzzle was in terms of problems as you progress. Whereas, I have played at some other places that when you get to the last stage they hit you with like 10 more puzzles when time is extremely constraint. If you are new to puzzles then give them a try! The location of this place is somewhat hidden on the second floor of a Nimitz plaza, plan to arrive early to find the location.

    Had a blast. The sushi room was a good challenge. We only took 1 clue at the very end and only had about 8 mins left. 2 or 3 very challenging puzzles. Rain was very nice, did a great job making us feel welcome. Wish I was on vacation longer so I could try the other rooms.

    We had a great time! Puzzles were challenging and well designed. We did the Kobe Sushi Co and managed to get out with 9 mins to spare. Our host was awesome and friendly. Can't wait to try the other rooms.

    It was our first escape room and what an awesome experience. They were so helpful with the hints and will definitely go back. It is for 2 to 6 people and I went with just one other person. I recommend more because the rooms are easier with more minds.

    great breakout room! Loved the theme and puzzles we had to solve to escape. I've done a couple escape rooms with different companies and I think this one was definitely one of my favorites. The room is private, unlike some other companies, and it's more challenging which ultimately creates a more fun room. The only thing I wish was a little different was the interactive storyline. Some other rooms I've done show multiple videos or have things that relate to the storyline a little more to feel more immersed in the room/scenario you're trying to escape from. Overall though, definitely a 10/10 would go again! :D

    Room With a Clue is so much fun! They keep their rooms updated and fun. The game master, Rain, was great, and clues were spot on when needed. At only $34 a person you can have some serious fun here. With multiple room themes and difficulty levels, there is something for everyone. I highly suggest booking a room and testing your escape skills with Room with a Clue. We've been twice now and will be back again soon!

    A lot of fun! Been to many escape rooms and Room With a Clue did not disappoint. The Gamemaster was awesome and made the experience enjoyable. Highly recommend! Looking forward to the next room to escape out of 😁

    The worker was very passionate and it really enhanced the experience. We escaped in time because of his help and we really enjoyed the whole experience!!

    This was a challenging room. We barely got out. We have done many escape rooms across the country and saw some new things here that surprised us. The staff had their hands full, but were very friendly and helpful. We were in Hawaii when rain took over for a few days and this was a very fun activity to keep our minds off the weather. I'd recommend it even if the weather is nice.

    So much fun!!! Tonight my group enjoyed the White Room. It was so hard but fun that we agreed to come back the very next day! Facillators, especially Mr. Dylan, were so kind and helpful. We appreciated all the nudges they gave us! I've been to a couple of other escape room businesses and I love how cared for I feel in this one. Definitely a top notch establishment!

  • 5/5 Emilia S. 1 year ago on Google
    My partner and I just did two rooms here (The White Room and Kobe Sushi) and had an absolute blast! Dylan was a great game master (really friendly and helpful). The games are creative, unique, and thorough. Highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Jacquelyne T. 1 year ago on Google
    It was my first escape room ever and it was so much fun! I recommend at least 4-6 people to spread throughout the room to help figure out more clues. Highly recommend this place 👍🏼👍🏼

    I had an absolute blast doing the Sushi Bar escape room. It was their newest room and I found that it was just the right amount of difficulty. Our gamemaster was so helpful throughout the experience. I will definitely come back to try one of their other rooms.

    Renewing an old review after a renewed experience! Our first time was months ago and the room was awesome but we unfortunately had game master issues. We gave it another shot and our recent experience with game master Rain in Strange Case was so amazing I've upped my review from 3 to 5. As an experienced escaper i should say the rooms here are top notch. Highly recommend checking these guys out.

  • 5/5 Tori P. 1 year ago on Google
    Did all 4 rooms during our stay. We kept coming back due to Dylan's excellent customer service and friendliness. Rooms are super fun and challenging and, staff is phenomenal! Thank you Dylan, for making our time memorable here. Room with a clue is awesome!!! Don't miss out on this experience.

    Our family has enjoyed Room With A Clue for a few years now. The staff is always helpful, the rooms are themes that intrigue and challenge all ages. We did "A Stranger Case" and LOVED the Stranger Things - like Theme.

  • 5/5 Rob C. 1 year ago on Google
    Great experience. Gamemaster Paul was attentive and helpful throughout the time. Definitely going to return and try the other rooms

  • 5/5 Yoni L. 2 years ago on Google
    We were here with the wife and three young kids, and did the white room. The experience was a huge amount of fun, and Paul was very helpful. They wanted to come back the following day already, that must mean something :)

  • 5/5 Francisco C. 2 years ago on Google
    We were only the fourth team to try the new room (The White Room) and it was very good! The Game Master (sorry, I forgot his name!) was super helpful and was even giving us words of encouragement towards the end. The puzzles were pretty good and complex and I was very happy to solve the "extra" puzzle. The last puzzle was really making my heart race haha, we thankfully finished with 1:30 minutes to spare! I will be coming back to try the other two.

  • 5/5 AJ F. 2 years ago on Google
    We had a lot of fun! The white room was a blast and gave us many fun symbols of our progress throughout the mystery solving process!

  • 5/5 Alice C. 1 year ago on Google
    Tried White Room. I would go with more people than two, because there is a lot to solve. We failed it but we definitely enjoyed our time there! Planning to check other rooms! Parking! Parking is the first quest there. Go to the parking lot in the building, exit it on another side and you'll find a big ramp to the second floor right infront of the entrance.

    Our group of three teens and two moms had a BLAST doing three escape rooms here. So. Much. Fun!!! We did three rooms in three days to get the discount: Island Missile Crisis, The White Room, and A Strange Case. We broke out of "Island Missile Crisis" and "A Strange Case," but "The White Room" stumped us (although we were sooooo close to breaking out). Both game masters were so friendly and provided just the right amount of encouragement and very helpful hints. The rooms themselves had a perfect mix of logical and physical puzzles to work through. My favorite was "A Strange Case." It had a bunch of 80's memorabilia that made it very nostalgic for us moms who were teens in the 80's. ;) I very highly recommend these escape rooms. I can't wait for the new rooms to open!
