Escape IT - Chapter 1

My SAW moment annoyed the heck out of me as the staff (and possible situation where we solve things to fast and the mechanics have to be delayed due to the previous group requiring more time to finish the room ahead of us) keep taking me out of the immersion of the experience. But the worst offender is the staff breaking out of character almost the whole time she was there. Knowing this is the same creator of the SAW, I lowered my expectations big time. But, I am glad to say the IT walkthrough was 180 degree difference in experience. IT manages to cover EVERYTHING that SAW did wrong. IT does not pretend to be both an escape room and a walkthrough. IT is still a walkthrough with puzzles in each room to advance the next. The puzzles are still challenging but it’s logical enough for people who never watch the movie/ read the book to make a connection. The whole time the pacing is perfect. But best of all, the IT staff teams did their best to stay in characters. It’s so obvious that they actually enjoy working there. And that makes a whole difference. The hints thrown by the staffs are just that… nudges… it doesn’t feel like the staffs are patronizing you to move along because the next group is about to reach the room your team is in. Overall, IT was PHENOMENAL!!! The immersion is OFF the chart!!

The set and immersion were both amazing! The only bad part is going in with a group of strangers. We had a horrible lady assigned to our group who ruined this experience for us.

Absolutely fantastic! The set up from the moment you walk in to sign your waiver and through each room was spot on. The decor and the puzzles were great and the live actors are there to drop some small guidance along the way if you seem to be getting stuck up on anything. There is also an arcade to enjoy after you make it through the experience, and a place to get some free digital photos of your group.

This was an absolutely amazing!

This place was amazing. 15-16 rooms and zero timers. Actors were mostly helpful (except for Pennywise). Puzzles were not difficult which was critical because you’re under a lot of stress with the clown hunting you. There were some humorous parts, but mostly a creepy vibe. Our youngest was 13, and still had a good time. Production value was unbelievable… they spent a lot of money on this place. Somehow it’s even more amazing than SAW. We will definitely be back for chapter 2 when it opens.

Fantastic set, less than fantastic escape room. Similar to Escape: SAW, this one is massive with incredible set design, but you may end up in a public group, 10 people standing around watching someone do a puzzle because there's only one per room. Go on Groupon and do it at a discount just to see it, but if you only have time to one, Escape: Blaire Witch is 100x better of an escape room.

This is the same company that does the SAW escape room and if you’ve done it you know it’s not really an escape room rather a walk through attraction similar to a haunted house with puzzles along the way. Rooms are timed so you either solve or keep going so you’ll see the entire thing. The characters make the experience fun and playing the games at the end was a lot of fun!

Great, great experience! The amount of work put into this immersive Escape is 100% something to just experience. You really feel like you are in the movie walking through this. If you are in Vegas, I highly recommend stopping by to check them out!

Great set designs and lots of good scares. No really complex puzzles.

the only word i could use to describe this experience is breathtaking. this experience has some of the largest set pieces for the smallest of puzzles. i don’t think anything in the US can beat this experience in terms of scale and immersion. if you have 2 hours in vegas, do this.
