33. 60-minute escape room adventures at The Galleria
5.0· 234 reviews· 1.3 hoursFive unique escape room experiences for up to eight players — including Cosmic Crisis and Timeliner: Train Through Time — each lasting one hour.
“Ryan, Claire, and Devin were outstanding! We completed all the escape rooms in two days, with Depths and Cosmic being my top picks. Our group of four found the experience well-balanced, and the entry cost was reasonable, so the number of players didn’t matter much. Each room was impressively themed and decorated, with no detail overlooked. While there were a couple of puzzles that stumped us for a bit, we could have eventually solved them. I highly recommend this experience for friends or family, but it’s essential to communicate and collaborate effectively.”— Voyage07259151844
