Build it and they will come. We definitely did not expect to find an escape room brand of top tier quality outside of large cities, but then we went to Conquer Escape Rooms outside of Sioux Falls in Harrisburg, South Dakota and there it was! At the time we were there, they had two escape rooms: the Escape Plan (jail theme) and Diamond Quest (Indiana Jones-esque theme) with the third room under a revamp.
Now I’ve done over 150 escape rooms across the country and both these rooms are for sure in the top 10%. Conquer Escape rates high in every basic category that you could evaluate. The puzzles are all logical and have a natural flow that provide a great overall experience. There are mental, seeking, and physical puzzles that should engage any skillset. The brand uses new generation technology that is integrated, so few to no standard low-tech locks (only used in places that would make sense in the context of the storyline). Along those same lines, the thing that separates a good room from an epic room is the immersion factor, which these rooms have in oodles. From the scenery that has a level of authentic feeling, to the actors that put you into character during the beginning of the rooms, to the tasks and puzzles that feel like you really are Indiana Jones or an escaping inmate, it was end-to-end one of the best escape room experiences ever. I would highly recommend this brand to a newbie doing their first escape room (start with Diamond Quest) to experienced escape artists, a well-built and thoughtfully designed room guarantees fun for anyone who loves puzzles! Conquer Escape was an unexpected gem worth a trip to try, it is just that good!
This escape room seems to be part of a larger entertainment venue that includes a trampoline park and laser tag, so it has something...
Read moreConquer Escape Rooms did a very good job! My friends and I enjoyed our escape very much. The escape room was well put together and the staff was friendly and enthusiastic. If you are somebody that enjoys solving puzzles, I would recommend checking this place out. Also, my friends and I are young adults, either graduated or a few years into college and we had a ton of fun. Don't let anyone tell you that you are too old for something like this. Thank you Conquer Escape...
Read moreLiterally one of the coolest things I’ve ever done! If you ever go to South Dakota you should definitely make a stop here and try out an escape room. So grateful I got to experience that. It was my first escape room, but man did it set the bar high! And the staff was so invested in our journey and understood our pain when we were only seconds away from escaping. This ones definitely going down in the books as one of my...
