What an enchanting and enthralling experience! Somewhere Secret is truly a Fort Collins treasure. This escape room is a masterpiece of magic and wonder, seamlessly blending artful design with sharp, engaging fun.
Unlike other escape rooms that break the illusion with digital countdowns or out-of-place clues over a speaker, Somewhere Secret has perfected an immersive experience. Set in a historic 1897 building, the ambiance is flawless: warm, glowing lighting, atmospheric background music, and an hourglass tracking your time instead of a digital clock. Even the clues are delivered in a way that aligns with the room’s intricate theme, keeping you completely transported to another era.
The furniture and props are stunning, authentic, and meticulously crafted, while the puzzles are clever, unique, and brimming with mystery and intrigue. It’s no surprise that this escape room is often hailed as the best escape room in Fort Collins!
Our group of six found the space perfectly accommodating, though I felt it could comfortably host up to eight without feeling cramped. Somewhere Secret's historical setting in Old Town, combined with its charm and attention to detail, made for a magical night to remember.
If you're seeking wonder, challenge, and truly unique entertainment, Somewhere Secret is a must-visit. The Levi Group hosted clients here to kick off a night in told town, and it was, without a doubt, one of the most fun things to do in Old Town we’ve ever experienced! We will aboslutely...
Read moreThis place is just incredible. It's one of the most fun and fascinating experiences I've had in my life. The puzzles are beautifully designed, and the atmosphere is perfect. It's like being inside a steampunk fantasy novel (but even that doesn't do it justice).
If you've played the iPad game The Room, you'll know exactly what to expect. It's like playing that game in real life, which is every bit as great as it sounds. We actually managed to finish the game, and I can definitively say that the last puzzle is as good as the first. The entire experience is a complete victory of imagination. It's worth way more than the measly $25 suggested donation.
The best part is that when you solve the room, there's still one more secret to find out in the real world. We left energized and excited, and we immediately went out to try and figure out this last clue. We're still working on it, and we'll be driving back to Fort Collins soon to (hopefully) find the treasure. The game keeps giving you mystery and intrigue even after it's "over."
Mystery and intrigue are hard to find these days when every bit of information is at our fingertips. Somewhere Secret puts you in a rare headspace of wonder and enchantment (sounds corny, but that's actually what it does).
This place is really a work of art. If you're someone who loves being intellectually challenged and believes that the world needs surreal dreams in order to stay sane, get to Somewhere Secret as...
Read moreMost escape rooms begin from the moment you enter and the door closes behind you. Not Somewhere Secret! It draws you in right from the moment you book with instructions leading you to a hidden spot, a rendezvous with a stranger, and a storyline that provided the perfect background for one of the most enjoyable hours I've spent in Fort Collins.
The amount of thought that has gone into crafting this is very impressive. It's very engaging and also extremely fair, with some really beautifully made puzzles. I did it with a friend and we found it difficult but doable by two people with some escape room experience, while still providing enough variety and challenge to occupy a larger group with children or more novice players.
I especially loved the many 'magical' effects; no two puzzles were alike and there were a lot of enjoyable 'aha!' moments. We also never felt truly stuck because there was always something to look at, fiddle with or work on. I'd highly recommend this to anyone interested in puzzles, logic, magic and adventure - it deserves every one of its five stars, and my only regret is that there's just the one experience available right now to play. If there was another, I'd definitely sign up straight...
