Universal Escape Rooms

[AndyA06]

Has anyone done any of the Universal Great Escape rooms?

Is there an easy way to book and how far out is it available?

Thanks

Room Escape Artist have some reviews and felt they were quite poor:

If you like Escape Rooms and are happy to get a short Uber, then Crazy Train at Doldricks was recently voted the 61st best escape room in the world. Another of their games, Captain Spoony, was 287. They're located sort of on the way from Universal to Disney.

Then Operation Arctic Storm and Neighbourhood Watcher at Escape Ventures (just east edge of Orlando) were 180 and 266.

This is from the TEPECAs which I've used to play various escape room holidays throughout Europe and not been let down yet! https://terpeca.com/2024/

Thanks for the reply. I’ll take a look at the ones you’ve suggested. We’re huge escape room fans and had hoped the theming and story world just lead to a great room from universal, reading that review I can see we were wrong.

With the ones suggested do you know if there are age restrictions as well have 4 children (ages 9-13) and 4 adults.

Appreciate the help.

Doldricks is all family friendly (and has reduced pricing for 5-10 year olds).

Escape Ventures allow kids to play with at least one adult present, but the two I mentioned are a bit intense with special effects in Arctic Storm and scare elements in Neighbourhood Watcher. They also cap out at 6 players.

My family did the Back To The Future one the summer of ‘23 and were really disappointed.
Definitely not worth the money.

I've heard the universal escape rooms is a good place to go and get a drink in the bar, but not so good for the actual escape rooms. 😂
