My son and I are escape room junkies and we attempted 6 rooms in one day. We saved the escape artist DC for our last 3 rooms. We were concerned because there were just 2 of us and some rooms needed more people. But the host had adjustments in the puzzles to accommodate teams of 2 if needed We had been successful with the first 3 rooms on our quest so we were pumped to see if we could actually do it and escape all of them. We got to the escape artist DC and it is in a little row house. There are no frills here but lots of adventure. We were greeted by our host and he suggested we start with the hardest room first This ended up being good advice since we were pretty mentally-spent after #5 but back to the rooms All of the rooms appear to be really basic but looks can be deceiving. They were all so well themed. The system they use to provide hints was very unique. It was also neat to see new devices and games / challenges. We did all 3 of his rooms but we would definitely do more if/ when they change them up and we are in the area. We did escape all 3 rooms with just the 2 of us. We were physically and mentally wiped out but what an awesome day.

The Night at the museum was an amazing escape room. Since we were only the two of us, we couldn't complete the whole task in an hour's time. However the host was sweet enough to help us out complete the remaining part. Overall it was a 5/5 experience!

So much fun! It’s clear this Escape Room creator is passionate about it & made a really creative & fun set of rooms instead of buying some big box sets. It felt kind of minimalist when we first walked in but there was a lot of hidden depth, the puzzles were so unique & fun, it ended up being an incredible experience and the creator’s opinions on Escape Rooms (e.g. don’t overly rely on too many keys & locks) were felt — it made for a better experience than many others & I now fully agree with his opinion!

The Ecsape Artist DC is very pleasurable and definitely hidden away in plain site. Solving the mystery's were sooo exciting and fun! The owner was amazing and treats you as a longtime friend. Even children are allowed to indulge and heighten brain expansion. Just imagine the exploring, unlocking secret passages and solving puzzles. Even as an entire group makes it that more of a team building skill. I highly recommend and I can not wait for this place to expand Its puzzles. Super smart guy!

My girlfriend and I went at Gallery Heist and had a BLAST. The puzzles were challenging but fair, the order of progression in solving the room was natural, overall it was just an amazing experience. It was made perfect by having such an amazing host. If you're looking at a great, AFFORDABLE night out, this is your place (and yes, we escaped!!).

I had a group of 9 adults come to do the Night at the Museum Room. The manager/statf was very friendly and helpful. We loved that there was plenty for everyone to do inside the room so no one felt like they were not needed. The variety puzzles were great for all types of people. We successfully escaped in 42 minutes with no hints, but we definitely felt challenged along the way. We had a fabulous time and can't wait until we can come back and try one of the other rooms!

This place at first glance looked like someone’s home, but I knew that wasn’t the case because of all the signs that said “ this is not a house that someone lives in” or something to that nature lol( there were at least 3 signs I saw).Then we walked past the kitchen to get to our room(there were things all over the counter.. Everyone knows to clean the kitchen for company). Once we got inside the room and we settled in for the guy to tell us the back story…. I knew this was definitely DIFFERENT. I have been to dozens of escape rooms and what happened next was the first. He turned on the tv and went to YouTube for our briefing… ok.. then directs or attention to a pad on wall that looks like an alarm system. The pad is where clues come up.. sound simple? Nope. Because the clues were pre-made you can’t ask specific questions. There was absolutely no flow to the room and a group of 5 we barely were able to get through anything. Overall, whoever bought this house really put a lot of work into the escape room. It didn’t flow though, just a lot of random clues. Wouldn’t return even for the price. Spend more!

We've done literally hundreds of escape rooms and we thoroughly enjoyed the Gallery Heist! While it may not be as refined as other rooms, what with wires hanging about and the room a bit bare, the clues and puzzles more than make up for it. There were some truly unique elements in this room and we will surely be back!!

We do a lot of escape rooms. A LOT. This felt as much like an escape room as a garage sale feels like a store. Yes, technically, there were puzzles to be solved. The game did not flow. You get what you pay for, I guess. Take my advice -- pay 20% more and get 100% more quality and professionalism.

It was my first escape room experience and I really enjoyed it! The owner is super smart and also an amazing artist. His story on how he started his escape rooms is powerful and will leave you wanting to do more. While the game is usually played with three to four people, my friend and I got pretty far as a team of two. It was a great team building experience for everyone! So, if you are looking for a fun activity to do on a weekend with friends, family, or coworkers, go do an escape room at Escape Artist DC! Find the Escape Artist Within You!

Night at the Museum was a perfect beginner escape room. It was accessible to a group with an age range of 9 - 45. The puzzles were engaging and challenging but not overly frustrating. The hints were well-designed. All this for only $20 a person. Great fun!

The manager/staff member greeted us upon entrance. He was very nice and patient with my family members as we came in one by one. I recommend this experience for everyone! This was my first visit to an escape room and it was a 11/10. I will definitely be returning soon.
