    2/27/2022: This was my first escape room experience and I was not disappointed at all. My group picked the Jose Gaspar pirate room and Emma H. was a WONDERFUL game master. The time really flies by because you are not only put to the test mentally, you're also having a ton of fun. The rooms and puzzles are put together very well - challenging, yet not impossible. We had such a fun time we decided to book another room shortly afterward. The Christmas-themed room was equally impressive and Emma did a great job of not spoon-feeding us any "unearned" hints, but you can tell they want you to have fun and succeed. We are already planning to come back for the London room and I can't wait.

    This place was so much fun! We did the Soviet room and as a first time escape room goer, the room was very immersive, challenging, and everything I expected it to be. Bryant was our game master and he was very friendly and helpful when we got stuck 😅 I highly recommend going here, I know that I’ll for sure be coming back to try the other rooms.

    My five friends and I did the Medieval Room. It was a blast! Super fun and engaging. Our game master, Lee, made the whole experience that much better. We’ll be back!

    We had a birthday party for our 12 year old. The girls all had a blast! Lee was great to work with from setting up, coordinating colors for the party room, and helping us choose the best escape room for their age group. He also was patient going over the rules, joked with them and offered clues as needed. We will definitely go back! I’d like to try one of the other rooms with a group of adults.

    80th room for the two of us. We struggled with the Soviet Spy room, but thanks to an attentive and helpful Gamemaster and well-delivered hints (with role-playing voice and all), we kept the world safe... for now... The room has some creative puzzles and manipulations (barely any padlocks), very clever room details, and a very unique way to get right into the spirit of the game!

    Staff was super friendly and helpful - his clues were the perfect balance of useful without making it too easy. The puzzles were very difficult, but they were very fun and I loved the way everything came together. This is my second time doing an escape room and it was by far my best experience. They seem to have a great variety of rooms with good themes and different levels of difficult. My team did the Ho Ho Oh No room and our coworkers did the Jose Gaspar room. Everyone had a great time and the accommodations for our team lunch were great as well.

    I came to this place twice, one for my little sisters birthday party and the very next day for an event. I did the same medieval room again (not the workers fault, it’s mine 😅) but was an amazing experience, well thought of, so many options, and more! For a first time experience, I was amazed and it met the expectations I wanted! The staff were really nice and helpful, and the waiting room was very nice, with lots of chairs or couches, and even icebreaker breaker questions to make it much more pleasant! Totally recommend!

    Chad (owner) just hosted the Ontario Reign sales team and WOW we were blown away. With something to look forward to for months now, it was well worth the wait. From the warm entrance, to the exhilarating experience in the room, on top of the VIP post-escape meet and greet with Chad. Take anyone here and they’re guaranteed a great time. Looking forward to coming back, and testing the groups IQ (hopefully we won’t need any hints next time around). 10/10 experience.

    Excellent and challenging puzzles. My boyfriend and I did the medieval-themed one and it was super tough but we got out with 20 seconds to spare. One of my favorite escape room businesses. The local-owned places are always better than corporate ones. Thanks, John and Marcus!

    Staff was really helpful and attentive. Being that it was my group and I's first ever escape room experience let's and we were thoroughly challenged. We did the steampunk room and the puzzles were quite complex. Let's just say that we'll be choosing an easier room next time. Overall, we had a great time and really enjoyed ourselves.

    We had a really good time in Escape London. Sara was very professional and patient explaining it all considering only one of us had ever been in an escape room before. We solved it but it wasn't easy.

  • 5/5 Dana G. 1 year ago on Google
    My husband and I did the medieval adventure room. We escaped with 13 seconds to spare! Sarah was a wonderful guide. She made us feel very welcome. We had a fun time, and we'll be back!

    Went to the Soviet stage, and it was detailed complete with audio and tiny little FBI costumes that you would wear. I mean this whole experience was surreal. I was so immersed by the puzzles and just the overall atmosphere. I will say this with certainty. I'm going to be coming back again and this time I'm going to try a different room, as when I got out of the Soviet stage I wanted more!

    So much fun, super helpful staff, highly recommend for double dates!

  • 5/5 Andrew S. 1 year ago on Google
    Fantastic experience!! We did the Escape from London challenge. It was amazing. The staff are very nice and accommodating, the challenge really pretty tough but we did it (my 11 year old son and me). Would highly recommend and go again on a different challenge one day.

    As escape game enthusiasts, we were excited to try some new rooms while in Tampa, and we were not disappointed in our choice! The room was clever but doable, challenges were fun and varied, and the game master, Sean, was extra nice and made the experience even smoother. We enjoyed the room so much that we will be going back for more!

  • 5/5 Sara B. 1 year ago on Google
    Lots of fun! Staff was very nice and welcoming. Our game master, Marcus, helped us just enough and we were able to escape with 6 seconds to spare. Our group did the Medieval room and it wasn’t too hard but the right amount of challenging. The rooms and props looked amazing and the lighting and music perfected the ambiance. 100% recommend to escape room enthusiasts or beginners!

    Amazingly fun. Staff was super-friendly and the Medieval room was a lot of fun. I can't wait to come back and try some other rooms!

    We completed the Ho Ho Oh No on December 26, 2020. Lee was the staff member that evening. He was very professional and explained all the details of the room. He gave good hints and made the escape room enjoyable without giving to many clues. The room was amazing. We will definitely try another room at Can You Escape in the near future.

    This was my first time doing an escape room. Went with my husband and some friends who had gone the night before. They did the Medieval room the night before. They liked it so much, they talked me into it and I had a blast! We all did! We did the HO HO HO, Oh No room (Christmas room). It was certainly challenging but we made it out with 16 minutes to spare. The staff was extremely nice and very helpful. We would recommend this place for sure. Cannot wait to go back.

    First, my "credentials": lve played about 50 rooms, a mix of great and terrible with a variety of themes, locations, and puzzle types. We played the Medieval room today. The good: Can You Escape has an interesting part of their website that let's you look at the big draw for the room. For this room, it was listed as having the most unique puzzles. They delivered that, there were very unique puzzles, different from ones ive seen before, which is always welcome. The GM, Romeo, was very attentive to what we were doing, and when we ran into an issue with a prop he immediately spoke up to reassure us we were doing it right, so we knew to try again. He also gave clear warnings about what is in the room we shouldnt work with, and was very patient when one of our group needed to use the restroom as we were walking into the room. I also appreciated him realizing when we were screwing something up, and setting us straight. For the most part, the props were solidly built, clearly visible, and effective for their purpose. There was a puzzle i really enjoyed that used a mirror. The room used a low-light ambience, and is one of the few rooms i played that made it work really well. There was just enough light to see what we were doing, and often the puzzles had their own lighting that made them easily viewed. The bad: While unique, i didnt particularly care for most of the puzzles. They often felt more like busiwork than puzzles. I wish i could give more in depth discussion, but i dont want to ruin the experience for anyone else who may want to try the room. A good puzzle makes you feel accomplished at the end, and very few provided that feeling. At one point, two props had to be combined, but the component to allow that didnt attach very well, so we had to try several times to get it to work. One puzzle has little lights that turn on as you get things right, but 3 of the lights werent working. The room would greatly benefit from whiteboards and markers for note taking. There are a few times when you are using math, and trying to keep it all in your head is very difficult. Having somewhere to write it down would have been very beneficial. I think that was our biggest time sink, if we made a mistake on a math puzzle we had to start it from scratch. While I appreciated Romeo's attentiveness, and over all i found him an excellent game master, he was a little quick with nudges and unprompted help. Conclusion: Overall I give Can You Escape a 3 out of 5. The room was interesting, but not very satisfying, often feeling more tedious than enjoyable.

    This was a great team building experience. We had two teams so we split into London and Medieval. Definitely want to come back and try other rooms. We were greeted with smiles and great customer service. Emma was awesome!

👍👍 That was such a good time! We did the Helter Skelter room and it was as creepy as I hoped it'd be. Super interactive with plenty of clever teamwork-based puzzles. Our game master Lee was super kind, energetic and helpful; he's awesome! They're very lucky to have him there. We made it out with 25 sec...
