After deciding to try an escape room for my 18th birthday, our group was absolutely thrilled to experience Portal. Locally owned and super inventive, we never felt like we were failing any challenge. The puzzles in each room range in skill level, but after going through all 4 currently in rotation, I can confidently say that even their "easier" rooms offer an enjoyable challenge. I would absolutely recommend Portal to anyone who's looking for a fun, team building experience. The staff are all incredibly attentive and amazing, and they never make you feel like you're going through a challenge alone; they're just the best at having fun with you even though they're watching your group struggle pathetically from their control room.
The variation in puzzles is something that our group agrees are one of the best parts of Portal. The electronic locks in Voyager are some of the most inventive, but the mix of physical locks and keys in other rooms really offer your group a chance to work together. In our experiences at Portal, it has never felt like anyone wasn't involved in solving a puzzle of some kind. The split rooms in all of their adventures are fun and encourage your group to keep everything detail you've encountered in the back of your mind for later, and everything ties seamlessly together when you eventually escape the room.
10/10 will recommend. Thank you for the awesome experience! Our team looks forward to the new installations that are...
Read moreVisited Portal Escape Rooms yesterday with my Fiance, and her parents. We got to experience the Outlaw of El Paso room, and what a blast it was! I work at another escape game company and I was thoroughly impressed. The two brothers who put this place together have out for themselves. The lobby and waiting room was very clean, and inviting. The waiver was quick and concise. They had a very well put together and helpful introduction video. As well as uniforms that fit the part of the Portal theme of the place. Chris was an awesome host. We had an issue with our booking and he took care of it no problem, and had us paying after very minimal preparations. He walked us to our room and we got started. The room itself was very advanced and fit the theme well. Although it was a wild west theme, the tech was very inconspicuous and fit very nicely. A lot of automation was involved, which was nice and the room ran very fluidly. We got stumped in the second room and Chris was very helpful to getting us through it. However, we lost in the second room, but they allowed us to finish which was a nice little surprise. The ending was fun and innovative, and we all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We will be returning to check out Temple of the Gods room while we are in Eugene. I highly recommend checking this place out, you will not be...
Read morePortal Adventures is absolutely fantastic. There were four of us in the Temple of the Gods adventure. We didn't know what to expect, but it was better than we could have hoped for. It was just hard enough to be a ton of fun. We all started communicating very well to get through the clues and puzzles, which was cool. We were about a minute late but they let us solve the final puzzle anyway, which was awesome. It was good fun for the whole family, too, and illuminated each person's strengths. My husband says there was nothing he didn't like about the adventure, which for him is saying a lot. My kids are 19 and 25 and they said it was a blast. The whole thing was well planned, well executed, and so detailed. The immersion was amazing, considering you're in an office building! I also had to call Portal twice when setting up our reservation, and one of the founding brothers answered the phone and was kind, helpful, and sorta cheeky. Our family will support the brothers as often as possible because they are great human beings and you don't find that every day. Kudos to the brothers for a fantastic venture. We can hardly wait to try the new scenario! (And Vince the mascot cat...
