Review: The Official SAW Escape Room in Las Vegas, NV, USA
Must see for ultimate Saw Franchise Fans Rating: 5/5
If you're a horror fan or just love escape rooms with an immersive, high-production feel, The Official SAW Escape Room in Las Vegas is an experience you won't forget. Based on the SAW Movie franchise (2004-), this multi-room escape adventure is designed to make you feel like you're trapped in one of Jigsaw’s terrifying games.
Immersion & Atmosphere – 5/5 From the moment you arrive, the theming is top-tier. The building is disguised as an old meatpacking plant, and the eerie, dimly lit setting immediately sets the mood. The game masters (who stay in character as actors) add to the immersive experience, making you feel like you're really part of a SAW movie. Each room is meticulously designed with disturbing props, eerie sound effects, and chilling voiceovers from Jigsaw himself. Go Billy! And the last room smelled like urine. I love that.
Puzzles & Challenges – 4/5 The puzzles vary in difficulty, with some requiring teamwork and others being more individual challenges. Many tasks involve classic escape room elements like finding clues, solving riddles, and working with mechanical puzzles. However, some require a bit of physical interaction—nothing too extreme, but definitely more than a standard escape room. The only downside is that in some rooms, the puzzles can feel a bit chaotic, especially with larger groups. For me, it was a room where there was a crawl space added. Note: You don't have to go in this space.
Fear Factor – 5/5 While this isn’t a haunted house, it definitely has intense moments especially if you like the Saw Franchise like I do. There are loud noises, flashing lights, and creepy surprises, but no actors jump-scaring you. The tension builds as you progress, making it a thrilling but manageable experience even for those who aren’t hardcore horror fans. I kid you not the room from Saw 2 featuring that oven Obi was in scared me. I was too scared to even get in and opted to put the codes in to go to the next room.
Group Experience & Flow – 4/5 This is a multi-room escape experience, meaning you progress through different environments rather than being stuck in a single space. However, the game is designed for larger groups (up to 10 players), so if you go with fewer people, you may be paired with strangers. And seriously, it makes it even more fun. While this can be fun, it sometimes makes coordination tricky. The time constraints also mean you might not get to fully explore every detail if your group isn’t efficient. Value for Money – 5/5 It’s on the pricier side (around $50–$60 per person), but the production value justifies the cost. It’s not your average escape room—this is an interactive horror experience that feels like a mix between a haunted house and a puzzle game. Gift Shop 5/5: Love it. Reasonable priced. Has a nice Billy the Puppet in the corner which was rad.
Final Verdict:4.9/5 If you love horror, puzzles, and immersive experiences, The Official SAW Escape Room is worth every penny. The set design is movie-quality, the puzzles are challenging, and the atmosphere is chillingly realistic. Just be prepared for some intensity, teamwork, and a bit of mayhem...

Read moreSo bad. Don’t come here! I don’t understand all the other positive reviews. Where do I even start.
Beginning: the props are so old that most of the locks the letters or the numbers were so worn down that you literally couldn’t even try to open the lock because letters were worn off. The first two sets nothing made sense. There were no objects or anything clues to even looks for. It kind of felt like they were just rooms to make you think you’re looking for something while they made sure other groups moved along with time. During the first two sets we waved at the cameras and asked for help and got no help. We literally found not ONE clue and we’ve done several escape rooms before. The third room. Out of nowhere a guy pops in, doesn’t announce himself just barges in leaving the group confused because he starts telling us what to do. Not giving clues, no acting whatsoever to give us subtle clues but literally giving us the answers. Then the “actor” literally got mad at us and rolled his eyes when he asked if we heard the audio at the beginning which you could barely even make out. He was so upset that we all felt so uncomfortable. Every room we ran out of time and every room after there were so many areas that had items or clues but none of them worked. Pieces were missing. Items were broken. Some rooms had locks and those were already open. It’s as if they had clues but you dont even need to solve all of the clues to get out. At the end I gave up even looking because he was just going to tell us what to do. SPOILER ALERT…so if you don’t want to know the ending DONT KEEP READING………. the “actor” Liam? Leo? , we find him on the floor of the room shackled by the ankle. We walk in and he says nothing. He’s just in a careless position. No acting, nothing. Just sitting there staring at us. Then he tells us how to get the key of course. Then tells us to look at the shackle on his foot for the code to the final door. Liam? Leo? at the end tells us to feel free to leave a tip in his tip jar. It was so terrible. Nothing compared to the IT escape room. That one was fantastic with...
