Came with a group of 4 friends to do the Area 51 escape room. Room started off fine and was fairly easy. There wasn’t many decorations in the room and hardly any relation to Area 51. Nearing the end of the room a puzzle got stuck and the staff never noticed us yelling or trying to tell them the issue. Eventually the key fell out and we could continue. Upon finishing the room nobody greeted us or congratulated us on escaping. When arriving in the lobby they replied with “we are so busy we didn’t realize you escaped”. Personally I didn’t feel that was an acceptable reason. It’s a Saturday night... maybe you need more staff if you can’t manage all the rooms. Also, staff kept giving us clues without us asking which was annoying.
Overall the room and customer service was a disappointment. We will not be returning to this company for our next escape room.

Overall pretty good experience. Not the best escape room I've ever been too, but nonetheless, still fun!

out of all the escape rooms we've done this one is tops for quality of decor. They also had a few tricks we hadn't seen. first 1/2 of the puzzle was way hard then it was just super easy so when we escaped it was a bit of a let down. I'd certainly come back.

Booked Area 51 for my son's 19th birthday. We were having a bit of a time so we asked for a hint. They said to check the pockets of one of the props which we already checked, they was no clue. The girl had to come in and give us the clue card that was supposed to be in the jacket...the room wasn't re-set properly & we lost about 15-20 minutes being stuck without the clue. As we progressed on, we were told we had 2 minutes left so we asked for an extra 10 minutes because of the blunder with the missing clue & were told no, that another group had the room booked. We ran out of time....not necessarily due to the missing prop, but I think they should have gave us more time since we wasted alot of it looking for something that wasn't there. We did have fun, though. I would do it again :)

My friends and I had a lot of fun storming Area 51! We're definitely making plans to go back and try another room!
