South Beach Room Escape — Attraction in Miami Beach

A group of us are currently staying in Miami Beach before we leave on our cruise. We aren’t really “nightclubbers” but we didn’t want to sit in our hotel and do nothing as it got dark. After some time spent on Google I found this place and let me tell you…we had a BLAST.

First, we had several people and didn’t want to pay together so they let us make a reservation without paying until we got there. We couldn’t find it at first, but once we did and they buzzed us up to the 4th floor, it was easy to figure out. When we first got there the room we were doing wasn’t ready yet, so we just opted to hang out instead of doing a beginner room. It’s a super cute little place, lots of games you can play and a rooftop area with cone hole. They serve alcohol and the prices are great.

After a round of cornhole they let us in to our room and the fun began. It took us 15 mins to get the first clue, but after that the 5 of us were off to the races. All 5 of us worked together to complete the non linear puzzle to get the Diamond in Diamond Heist. We beat it with 18:34 to spare! It was NOT easy but with the 5 of us we all helped in different ways and kept track of different things. I loved the teamwork required.

Afterwards they didn’t close until midnight so we hung out and drank, played games, and more cornhole. This was a perfect night for us! I’m so glad we came here on a whim, it was the best time. 10/10 will be back next time we...

The last escape room we did elsewhere was high tech and completely different. It's called Fox in A Box Miami. The Lincoln Road one is bare bones and doesn’t feel like you are immersed in an environment. You can hear the radio outside the door and people. If you've done a lot of escape rooms you'll be really disappointed.

Positives:

Priced well. 10% off with code Sobe10.

Good location on Lincoln Rd

The magnet puzzle was very clever!

Negatives:

just wasn’t exciting. It felt like a south beach 2 bedroom apartment converted into an escape room

There’s no music in the room. You can hear everything outside the doors including the radio on the other end. Just adding a nice sound system with some period specific music would help a lot. This is the first one I ever did without creepy or themed music. It adds to the drama.

There are blinds in the room concealing south beach outside. (I’d board up these windows or have really good blackouts)

improving the communication for clues not using radios. TVs etc

There’s great potential! I hope the ownership will invest in some technology and improve the experience!

I’ll be back to try the others someday if they make...

This is a great combination of Escape Room and Bar. It's on the rooftop level and so before or after the Escape room you can enjoy a variety of drinks on the outside rooftop deck. What a fantastic combination!

As of Jan 2019 there were 3 rooms,: Diamond Heist, Black Ops and Panic Room. The rooms are all multiple area rooms without any climbing to get from one to another. There are some really great practical puzzles as well as words puzzles and numeric puzzles.

We did all three on a day where we had some time to waste. 2nd room was $20, 3rd room was $10 ! Bargain!

We escaped Diamond Heist with 13 mins to spare, Black Ops with 7 mins to spare and narrowly missed getting out of Panic room.

We had a lot of fun. Between each game we relaxed a bit on the deck with drinks - they do a variety of beers and juices etc, but the only food available is chips or nuts.

Danny and the team looked after us very well - great team!

We really enjoyed this combination of escape...
