Bangor Escape Rooms — Attraction in Bangor

My husband and I just completed two of the rooms at Bangor Escape Rooms - Quest for the King’s Crown and the Game Museum. Let me preface this review by saying that we have each done 50+ In-person rooms, plus a handful of virtual rooms during the pandemic. These were the first in person rooms that we’ve done in nearly 14 months, so we were excited to shake off the cobwebs a bit.

We started with the Quest room and it was very well done. Pretty immersive, a good variety of puzzles, and overall flowed well from element to element. There were some puzzles that we hadn’t seen before, which is very difficult given the number of rooms we have done. Fantastic room for first timers. That being said - it was only two of us and we got out with ~25 minutes to spare. Veterans may want to look to some of the other rooms for more of a challenge, or go in knowing that this is a solid but limited experience and just have a good time.

We personally had such a good time with that room and the host, DJ, was so welcoming that we asked if we could book another room - Game Museum - on site. He did warn us that it was their hardest room, but still we wanted to at least see it even if we didn’t get out. This is a very unique room. I don’t want to spoil anything, but would highly recommend for newbies or veteran escapers alike. Certainly doable by two people, but we would have benefited from 1 or 2 additional set of hands because there’s so much to do in this one. We escaped, but only after an additional 5 minutes on the clock.

In general, I think some of the elements of both games could be replaced (some props/clues with paint that had worn off, some laminated cards that might be in need of a refresh, etc.) but nothing that really detracted from the game play. In speaking with DJ, it’s clear that he and his partner just purchased the space a few months ago and are very passionate about escape rooms. I’m excited to see everything that Bangor Escape Rooms has to offer in the future, and wouldn’t hesitate to repeat the 2 hour drive to...

We recently did the Sherlock Holmes room at Bangor Escape Rooms and it was incredible! From the moment we walked in, we were impressed by how immersive and well thought-out everything was. The attention to detail in the room was amazing—from the props to the puzzles, it truly felt like we had stepped right into a Sherlock mystery.

The puzzles were clever, challenging, and perfectly paced. Just when we thought we were stuck, we’d figure something out that led to an even more exciting twist. It never felt frustrating—just the right amount of challenge to keep us thinking and working together. You can tell a lot of care and creativity goes into building these rooms.

The staff was also super friendly and really helped set the tone for a fun experience. They clearly love what they do and it shows.

We left talking about it for hours after, and we’re already planning our next visit to try another room. If you’re looking for something different to do in the Bangor area—whether you’re local or just visiting—Bangor Escape Rooms is an absolute must....

A good place to go for an escape room. Some of the rooms are very difficult, and some of them I like better than others. I've played the inheritance. Not my favorite, but an okay room. I've also played their CIA room (discontinued), and their "Games Room", which was hard. Very linear, I wish it was less linear but im not disappointed we did it. I do recommend this place. The Staff is excellent, very kind and helpful. The place is a little off the beaten path, but...
