Escape the 1980s

Great fun! Glad we went. Staff was very nice.

Great fun! I have been to several different room escapes and this was by far the best theme with great clues. Was worried that the 80’s theme wouldn’t be fun for our younger teammates but they loved it as much as we did.

Wasn’t sure what to expect but what a great experience! Such a fun time. So glad I decided to go. I never write reviews so you know it has to be good! Can’t wait to do it again!

Our group of friends have done 2 room escapes before but we were particularly excited about the theme for this one. The puzzles were interesting but the props were a real hit. Almost every new discovery elicited excited squeals from someone as they reminisced about their childhood. The designers really made it fun from start to finish — I would highly recommend it!

I had never done a room escape before and it was so fun! The puzzles were really clever and well done. I had my bachelorette there and it was a great group activity. If your an 80’s kid you will love all the 80’s references. We also got to chat with the people that run the place and they were really professional and friendly.

this was my first escape room experience and i am sure it will be hard to beat. this adventure was brilliant from the minute you walk in. elisabeth gives a great introduction to the evening and you are set up with everything needed to escape the 80’s (including a fanny pack and walkie-​talkie!) it’s captivating from the first room. you’re whisked back to vcr’s, cabbage patch dolls, lite brites, bright colors and «867−5309». the creativity is over-​the-​top and cracking the code is a blast. our group laughed, jazzercized, played video games and found our way out of the 80’s. it’s whimsical, nostalgic and one of the best nights i’ve had in a very long time. just do it. whether it is your first time escaping the 80’s or your second time. this is the fun you don’t want to miss.

This was our groups third room escape activity and we unanimously agreed that Escape the 1980s was the best one yet! The experience was on point from the start. I emailed to ask a question regarding booking because I’m a dope and didn’t read the website correctly and Elisabeth responded almost immediately and assisted me. The entire staff is super friendly and helpful. We were a few minutes late and didn’t all arrive at the same time and everyone was still cool. (Some places people get their panties in a bunch.)
The design of the rooms was so fun and interactive. It took our group quite a while to get moving and struggled so hard in the beginning but we ended up eventually coming together to figure it out. I think what made this room escape stand out among others is that the 80s theme makes it that much more entertaining. It was humorous yet still challenging. Extra bonus. you get to rock out to 80s jams, you can win bonus prizes along the way and end with a super rad 80s photo!
Awesome job!

I’ve done a few of these room escapes before and this one was really well done. It wasn’t overly complex or difficult but it required team communication skills for sure. The goal of the room designers seemed to be to have the participants have a good time and in that regard, they succeeded.
Another thing I liked a lot was how well they implemented the theme of the 80’s. There were many references but you didn’t need to grow up in the 80’s like I did.
I don’t want to give anything away but there were some really nicely done parts of this room that if you’re into the tech side of things you will be impressed as well.
Overall, the people here were great and the room was super fun. Give it a try!

Our first escape the room! We had a fantastic time. The game was challenging but do-​able even for first timers. Very satisfying cooperating with the group to figure it all out. The team running the game was friendly and very helpful. Everyone in our group was engaged, from the ones who are really into puzzles to the ones who really aren’t into puzzle games. A TON of fun!

What an awesome place! The owner must have a brilliant mind to put such a creative spin on this concept. The décor is spot on and the game is a blast. This is a must do experience. The staff is great and added to the experience. It is a fun and affordable night out.

This Escape Room was very well thought out and planned. It is a unique and fun experience that can be shared and enjoyed with a group of friends. I highly recommend it as a great night out. Throw in a nice dinner before or after and you’ll have a wonderful evening. Yet another cool thing to hit Passyunk Ave.

Me and three others did the Escape the 1980’s room this past Saturday. I have never done an escape room and I didn’t know what to expect. All four of us had a blast! It was so much fun with the clues in the room and in the music. Very interactive and fun. I can’t wait to do their next escape room! I highly recommend it for friends and family and it would make a great team building event for groups/​co-​workers. We even won prizes for free drinks/​discounts in the neighborhood!

A must try escape room. I’ve been to a few before, but this one was definitely the coolest. I got to play atari to unlock a clue! Would recommend to first timers and pros alike!

Went in to ask for the price. They guy behind the counter was nice. My buddy followed behind me and asked for the price not knowing, I had just asked. The girl behind the counter, who to add insult was also eating, audibly sighed and said SERIOUSLY. I was annoyed by the fact she didn’t want to answer a question.
However I’ve since spoken to the owner, who takes her business very seriously. We talked it out. I’ve got a lot of respect for small business owners, who take pride in their work. Best of luck to Escape the 80’s. Thanks, Elisabeth.

Easily the best room escape I’ve ever done! Go do it. Our group was numerically low on friends so they paired us up with a few other folks. Pow ! Just like that, full strength. Super fun.
