We visited for team building to improve communication, trust and working in unison. The rooms tested many elements including patience and was a good way to bond. The... read more staff were helpful and welcoming, we tried 4 of their rooms and they were attentive to us. We will be back to swap rooms and experience the others. There is a locker for keeping your items. I would only add a suggestion to condition some of the props in the rooms and maybe have a package for teams where you can experience multirooms in the same day especially if you do escape faster such as maybe see how many rooms you can do in 2.5hrs. A good experience even having many other choices to choose from in the city we made a choice based on location that had dining and other sites on JBR to enjoy for a longer day.

Friendly and Attentive Staff. Thanks for the extra help given by the game masters’ Arjo and Paul, will definitely recommend to my friends.

Also huge thanks to Paul our gamemaster for helping us esp. In the first part. Will recommend and comeback for more.

I must say we enjoyed “Stolen” a lot. The clues are well laid out and ample space for 5 to 6 people to work together. Wasn’t easy but was planned perfectly to keep us hooked and interested till the end.
Special shout out to Paul who was super helpful and patient in explaining what to expect. He even gave us some extra time to finish the final puzzle and made sure we were alerted to the hints requested properly.
All in all had a wonderful time and would definitely return for the other puzzles!

September 24, 2019Out experience was very joyful and fun!
We absolutely loved it, the clues were helpful and the challenges were exciting.
August 10, 2019The challenge is really nice, the clues can be a bit difficult and the fact that you can get a hint every 10 mins might be challenging, the only thing... read more I didnt like about the place is that rooms are devided by gipsum boards less than ceiling height, which makes you listen to everything happening around, the horror room next door was occupied and we could be affected by hearing their screams and game more than our music itself.
July 28, 2019The place is nicely built..put you straight away in the game mood. the games are challenging. I consider this place a calculator to my IQ:D
July 25, 2019Pure fun right from the beginning till the end. A great way to spend quality time with family and friends. Every room is well detailed and has its own particular... read more theme that makes it furthermore interesting and non repetitive. To add to that the warm welcome and friendliness of the management especially Iris and Mahan is like a cherry on the top. Make sure to think out of the box if you want to escape in time.
A place you do not want to miss out on if you are in Dubai.
TOTALLY WORTH VISITING!!!
