Intense Escape — Attraction in Bradenton

Intense escape has a couple of locations and we tried a room at the Sarasota location and a couple at the Tampa location. This brand definitely likes the fear Factor, but we found it to be tolerable even if you're not into that. We've done about 300 escape rooms and the rooms at intense escape were good to awesome! We tried DIE-ner at the Tampa location and LOVED it! They nailed the vintage diner theme!!! Atmosphere was so fun and unique! We personally chose to do the non -scary version of this but after completing it and talking with the owner and puzzle mastermind renee that while the zombie is a little bit scary, it really is adding to the atmosphere and has a level of humor behind it. Nevertheless, the puzzles were fun, logical, and appropriate for the theme. There were definitely some unique puzzles we hadn't seen and some interesting twists on ones we have. All rooms can be done with two people if you're enthusiasts and you call, but typically you'll probably want a couple more people if you're newer. We also tried out the jungle theme which was actually at both locations. It was a fun game and a good option for newer people to escape rooms since it's a little on the easier side but still super fun. We also did buried alive at the Sarasota location. It was definitely a new experience for us but kind of cool too. Definitely plays on the claustrophobia fear Factor. Puzzles focus on teamwork and aren't too challenging if you can conquer the fear. This is definitely a great brand for escape rooms!!! Can't wait for what these owners come up...

We had a wonderful time here. We were greeted and checked in by Rayne. She was very attentive and thorough in explaining what to expect. We chose to do the room "No Vacancy" (as per suggestion by Rayne since we had a 9 year old with us. Great call btw.) She took us to our room and turned us loose. The overall layout was great. The storyline and thought that went into it were fantastic. This is an original room which is a nice break from the big box escape rooms that have the same three choices. Our room host was Anne and she was GREAT. She was quick to respond if we asked for help and did a great job scaring the bejeezuz out of us. This was a fantastic experience and we would recommend that you stop what you're doing and go book NOW! Pricing was comfortable.. We've escaped over 50 rooms and this would be in the top 3 for sure! Great jobs guys!...

So far, my friends and I have been defeated in the Basement (shockingly the scariest game I've ever done and we did NOT make it out lmaooo) and then we returned like two nights later and did Unholy and made it out with over 24 minutes left. The rooms are unique and creative and ACTUALLY SCARY!!!! Well done! We will be coming back soon to do No Vacancy and Buried Alive, we really want to beat the Basement as well, and will be taking a trip to Tampa to try the other rooms! Hopefully, we can finish the Basement so we can do the sequel when it opens in Tampa!!! The game masters at the Bradenton location are amazing, the scare actors are PHENOMENAL!!!! Definitely a must try if you're into scary & like a...
