The SafeHouse Tulsa — Local services in Tulsa

If I could give less than 1 star I would. Our group has done hundreds of escape rooms in 12 states and 3 countries. I wish we didn’t buy all 3 before we had done the first one. The lady was nice but the rooms/puzzles didn’t make any sense. Color coded locks where the colors didn’t matter, 4 letters words on 5 letter locks, whole rooms with 1 lock and just empty spaces filled with nothing, items that had continuity between rooms, that were left unsolved by the end, when the rooms already rely on just reading stuff and looking for a hidden key, to take up time. So much reading and so many typos and grammar mistakes on every thing you have to read. The rooms focus on just finding items vs actually incorporating any puzzles at all. A huge amount of time was spent looking for a key that the game master had lost in another room the last time it was reset and blamed us for it until it was found. Everything was dirty, especially the flooring, when it didn’t need to be for the theme of any of the rooms. She didn’t greet us when we got there, we just sort of stood around until we talked to her first, she even said she saw us on camera walk in and still didn’t greet us. She didn’t meet us outside the rooms when we finished like every other escape room company does, as well as no intro to the story at all in any way, just “escape.” So much more but I’ve already written a novel. It felt like the people who made the rooms had never done an escape room, just bought 15 locks, hid the keys in random places in an empty room with no reason or story and put a price tag on the “experience.” Go to literally anywhere else, Tulsa is full of...

Overall the experience was not great. We visited on Sunday and the only employee we encountered was very rude. The room was plain and kept you from being very immersed. When we asked for a hint at one point she told us we would have to wait as there was a group standing nearby and she said she would add an additional 5 minutes to our time. That time was never added. She ended up entering the room before the time was over and told us that we should have asked for more hints since we were “struggling so bad and you had unlimited hints” which me or anyone in my group never heard her say to begin with. She asked if we would be returning to try the room again since we did not complete it and I shared no and that two of the three of us were not from the Tulsa area. She then scoffed and said that it’s not a far drive and I repeated I wouldn’t be coming back and she had the audacity to turn to my friend and say “that’s pretty pissy of them to not want to come back to see you.” I was shocked she would say something like that when all I meant was I would not be returning to this business. In addition to her condescending tone she told both me and my boyfriend to put some items back that we had moved during the duration of the game, which I have never been asked to do at any escape room I’ve been to. I’m all for supporting small businesses, but when you treat your customers with this kind of disrespect I cannot recommend anyone attend this...

This was not a good experience. We’ve done a lot of escape rooms, some that weren’t great but had some kind of redeeming quality that still made it feel like we didn’t totally waste our money. This had no redeeming qualities. No ambiance, they don’t even have a story to go with the room, and all the furniture was cheap. There was exactly 1 clue that had any kind of puzzle involved, the rest were so straightforward — number=code or literally look for a key in dollar-store decorations thrown on the floor. There were also issues from lazy upkeep that majorly impacted gameplay (like, there were 5 giant numbers on the wall, but only the first 4 were used to open the lock—must’ve had to buy a new lock and the 4-digit one must’ve been cheaper—there was I guess some kind of attempt to erase the 5th number, but definitely a lazy attempt). They also made things unnecessarily confusing, like a key was in this little plastic box attached to the inside of a safe that held another clue, and since it was black and tucked under the lip of the side, there was no way ANYONE would’ve thought this plastic piece was removable with a key inside it… I honestly think they just wanted to find random ways to make it last longer, and instead of thinking of, I don’t know, actual puzzles for people to solve, their answer is to just hide things from people. Just… please don’t...
