“I'm not the biggest Hangover fan, but this room was still a lot of fun. Plenty of references to the movie to put a smile on Hangover fans' faces. Puzzles were a lot of fun, and there was excellent attention to detail when designing the room. Good amount of laughs to be had, and the last room had some nice surprises, especially the finish. There was one part I wasn't a fan of because it required singing a song we did not know (granted I now realise it's a very famous song), but we were able to progress nonetheless.”

“This was our fourth room at Prototype. We have always been warmly welcomed and had excellent gamemasters. All puzzles worked as intended and there were not any broken elements in the game. The game was original and every detail was well done. I highly recommend every room at this business!”

“IAnother creative room with great attention to detail! Intro video was catchy. Multiple rooms which were well built and relevant to the creative theme. All puzzles worked as intended and teamwork was required. Joe was always attentive and immediately responsive as our game master. I recommend this and any room at Prototype! Will return on next trip to Florida to visit the other rooms here.”

“Room was very fun and immersive. The story was interesting and you can tell the staff is very passionate about their rooms and doing rooms in general. I only wish the room had more built in scares. The scare actor was quite entertaining but the room itself could've done the scaring too. All in all had a great time with 3 people. We did go over time which sucked for our egos, but the staff was super nice and let us finish.”

“Escape Game is well known for their great games. Though this is a typical split start prison room game, it really delivers on set design and unique game play. Elements and puzzles that I really enjoyed outside of the typical design of opening a lock. Definitely recommend”

“I wasn’t sure what to expect in this game but I was pleasantly surprised. Great theming and lack of physical locks was a big plus for me. Without spoiling anything, there is a great twist that really put the game over the top.”

“Another beautifully themed room with a ton of fun elements. This room had some very unique puzzles, some that require some serious skill!!! I would have liked to have seen more done in the last room as there were elements that were not necessary even though they looked like it. This was honestly easier than playground but still a fantastic room. This company puts an immense amount of effort into the room designs; easily some of the best designs I’ve seen. We were paired up with randos tho but it was still a fun experience.”

“AMAZING ROOM!!! What a fun room. This is quite possibly the most fun I’ve had in an escape room. My partner and I had to be placed with randoms but they were great and we had a lot of fun. We even got the little girl in our group to escape her first room! The set was PHENOMENAL! Expertly done and fit the theme perfectly. Easily one of the best rooms I’ve ever done. Despite its 6/10 difficulty rating it was still quite tough given its juvenile theme. It was active, exciting and loads of fun.”

As one of the first settlements on the east coast, Jacksonville remains loyal to its colonial heritage - it was named after President Andrew Jackson, after all.

After a full day of fun in the sun, take a trip over to Riverside Arts Market for a bite, or perhaps catch a show at the Jacksonville Center for the Performing Arts.

How Do Escape Rooms Work?
Remember those point-and-click adventure games where you’re locked in a room and have to solve puzzles to find the key and escape? Those online games were the original inspiration for the live escape rooms you’ll find all across the world today. An escape room is an immersive experience where you (and your team of 2 or more people) are locked in a room with a series of puzzles for 60 minutes. To escape and win the game, you have to look for clues, solve the puzzles, and find the key. While most escape rooms only give you 60 minutes to complete the challenge, others may have shorter or longer time limits. Many venues are private rooms where you and your team are the only players. However, some places may pair you with other groups who booked a slot at the same time. And don’t worry about getting stuck, asking for hints on a difficult puzzle is totally normal. While the original escape room (created by SCRAP in 2007) had a fairly simple aesthetic, today’s escape games often take you into a different world. Artistic set designs, secret doors, and unique interactive elements are all part of the fun. It’s like an adventure game that you can interact with in real life. But if you’re hoping to preview any rooms before you book a game somewhere, detailed images and videos can be hard to find. To keep the puzzles a secret and preserve the experience of seeing the room for the first time, most venues only offer a few photos or a short trailer about the room’s theme or narrative. The only way to know what it’s like is to go and try it for yourself!
