The Escape Tulsa

"Can’t lie it wasn’t great. You should definitely try some other escape rooms in Tulsa"

"We promised our ten year old son an escape room experience for his birthday and this place was what he chose for the alien room. The price was far above other rooms in the area, but we were hopeful that would equate to a better experience so we paid it (spoiler: we don't think it was worth it). The young guy running the show showed up just a few minutes before our scheduled time with a subway bag in hand and a marijuana leaf t shirt on, so professional out the gate. The building looks like a dilapidated, vacant house and if not for the sign out front, that's exactly what I would've assumed it was. I thought maybe this was intentional at first, now I realize it's just not caring about presentation. The guy directed us to sit in the lobby while he "reset the room". Then he rushed through a memorized intro and directions so fast that none of us caught a word he said. This was our first ever escape room, so we were completely clueless. The brief video that played after he closed the door didn't do much for the vibe or the point of what we were supposed to be doing either. The room, like the rest of the "house" was old and shabby, all the props clearly DIY hack jobs without much effort put into them (this was surprisingly the least weighty of the negatives). We ended up completing the room without any hints and with six minutes to spare, which doesn't say much for the difficulty level considering it was our first ever escape room attempt and received essentially zero instruction. We were so proud of ourselves for pulling it off, but when we left, the guy essentially said, "Alright, well, enjoy the rest of your day" without looking up. No atta-boys, or congratulations, or fanfare of any sort, which definitely ruined the small amount of fun we felt about the experience. Easily, the unfriendly, cold, and unengaging nature of the single staff member on duty was what ruined this for us the most. Overall, this was a good introduction to the escape room process for a complete beginner, but be prepared to lower your expectations substantially. Any effort whatsoever would go far in improving this place. We're doing another one for my birthday next week, but will be going with a different venue that cares more about customer experience."

"Very fun environment! Enjoyed the event! Can't wait to go back!"

"My family had a blast trying to capture the clockwork killer! The staff were very kind and explained the rules, and our experience was great. The clues seemed well thought out and the surprises were really cool. We had younger kiddos in our group, and they enjoyed themselves too. Cool place!"

"We were in an escaping mood so we tried The Escape Tulsa which is located inside a "haunted house". Parking was very limited but I think it worked for our group of 7. We tried their "Alien" room which had a 37% success rate and we completed it in less than 40 minutes with 20 minutes to spare. It was an okay room. Staff was nice and restrooms were clean. Other than that, the room didn't have as much difficulty or variety in it. You exit through the same door that you entered from and that's not fun for me because it leaves no room for excitement. It was an okay experience and I do not plan to go back because if that room had a 37% success rate and it was the 'scarier' and more professional escape room, I do not want to experience another."
