Enigma Escapes WA - Tacoma's Premier Escape Room — Attraction in Tacoma

o glad we took the time to head down to Tacoma to complete these rooms!

We have done over 50 rooms at this point - just my wife and I completed all four in a weeks' time - here are our thoughts

The Cure The first of the rooms here. Not linear at all, lots to do and look at. The final puzzle was one I was very familiar with so I knew what I was looking for and how to solve - had that not been the case we would not have escaped as we did it with a mere 54 seconds remaining. I think this room could use 3-4 people, especially if they are newer to escape rooms. Enjoyed the immersion, some of the puzzles weren't our favorite as they weren't real clear on what to do, but the room is solid.

The Sorcerer's Rescue Another big room with lots of things to do. Definitely recommend four people even if seasoned...there's just a lot to do here, we needed two extra minutes. The hardest of the rooms offered currently. Immersion is great, if wizards and potions and pixies are your thing you'll love this room.

The Estate They said Condemned was the easiest, I felt it was The Estate, but I also guess that depends on your strengths. The estate was a pretty straightforward escape room, very linear but in a way that two people can work together rather one sitting while other doing all the work. These are the rooms we work best on and really enjoyed working through this room quickly. Escaped with about 27 minutes left.

The Condemned This is my favorite room. Like of all the rooms we have done, and we have done two top award winning rooms in Seattle and LA. I wish I could forget about it and do it again. I have recommended it to no less than a dozen people since doing it. Creepy, spooky, make me scream rooms are right up my alley. So much fun. We have done a lot of scary rooms and this had the right amount of terror so you could still focus. Escaped with a little over 18 min left and had so much fun doing so.

All in all we had a blast. There is something for everyone here. Linear and non-linear. Scary and mild. Fantasy and reality. Also, I forgot to mention, the staff get into character with you to really set the scene. With everywhere opening escape rooms that is a little touch that is being missed. It really sets the scene and gets the room started right.

THANK YOU so much to the staff at Enigma - and know as soon as you launch a new room we will be right...

I wanted to buy a gift certificate from here. I went to their location to purchase it. There is a sign posted on their door that says please call when you arrive. I called and told the person who answered I was at their front door and I would like to purchase a gift certificate. I expected them to say I will be right there or something similar. Instead they said “you can purchase them online if it’s easier for you”. Well I was already there so wouldn’t buying it in person be easier at that point? I wanted to say (and I wish I would have) “if you don’t want my business I’ll go somewhere else”. I wasn’t purchasing it for one person either. It was for five people so it wasn’t a small amount. During the time I was there purchasing it I felt like I was an inconvenience to her. I will not return to this establishment. I hope the people I bought it for have a better...

First time doing an escape room and was blown away by the experience. We chose The Cure (book rooms in advance - they sell out quickly) which is based on finding a scientist and a cure to a virus within 60 minutes. We escaped with minutes to spare! We had 4 people in our group for this room and I think it was perfect. Everyone had something to do and a puzzle to solve. It did NOT feel like an hour. We had a hard time figuring out what to do when we first got in, so just explore everything. We were on a roll after that and got out with 4 minutes left. Absolutely had a blast and so happy to be part of the 35% success rate. It was a nice level of difficulty and the hints are available anytime. It was so exciting every time a combo lock worked or a code unlocked something! Loved it. I hope we can go back and try the other rooms. I'm looking forward to The...
