Yes I would highly recommend this escape room as a bit of a twist on escape rooms. The physical challenge element made it more fun. This is one that would can come to I think multiple times since the way that they lay it out. This one is better with more people and the older the children likely more fun it will be. We had 2 adults and 3 10 year olds. It probably would have been a touch more fun if they were slightly older but it still worked well. We were able to complete a few of the rooms. This is a highly teamwork and a good way to teach them that. So take some dee breathes and have fun!

This is an experience that is a bit hard to explain. It's like 7 (and counting) mini escape rooms with 2-3 progressive levels each, and each level is 1-3 minutes long. You have two hours to move through whichever of them you want- but when you guess wrong you fail out of the mini room and have to restart it at level 1 each time. There is a fair amount of climbing and crawling required to win all of the games, and a good variety of other puzzles and dynamics. In two visits we haven't finished all the rooms, and looking forward to see what they add next!

This is not an escape room in the traditional sense. It is a series of like eight different rooms that you can do in any order, as many times as you want. The catch is you only have three minutes to get through the room, and you either make it through to the next one or a buzzer sounds and you leave and start over. There is a lot of trial and error. Each game has three “rooms” although some games have little to nothing to do in the second room. There were quite a few technical glitches when we played that allowed other people to accidentally enter the room we were working on, or vice versa. This would stop the game from working, and the employees would have to reset it causing you to lose your progress. It’s a unique idea. Maybe once they get the kinks worked out and build more rooms, I will give it another shot.

You have to be physically fit to achieve most of the puzzles. It’s fairly strenuous and may require you to jump, crawl, and climb. It’s not really fair to consider this an escape room btw. It’s a puzzle, and the puzzles reset if you mess up. All the rooms are timed, so you have to move room to room within a few minutes, otherwise you just lose. There’s a lot of losing and trial and errors. Don’t come if you’re not willing to put in the effort.

I’ve come here twice and both times I had a fun time. Why I’m giving a thumbs down is because of a few issues. 1. You most definitely need to play with someone who has gone before to get the most out of your experience. Having them function as someone who can guide you along in each room is very helpful. Otherwise you could spend 30minutes on one room when there are multiple to see (some of which are pretty cool) 2. Sometimes the games break down. While this is bound to happen on occasion, they aren’t the best at communicating that to you right away. You could play a broken room 3 times before they tell you that the room is broken. 3. The staff is very rude and difficult to communicate with. Now don’t get me wrong there are employees who are very nice and very obviously want to help but, more often than not, when asking for help they’ll tell you very vague hints or just tell you to try again. Which at first makes sense until you go back and they give you the exact same advice. They try to make you feel stupid. For example, once my group had an error occur in one of the rooms where we won but couldn’t progress (a green light shows up above the door signaling you won with victory music. It’s very hard to not realize you won). Since we couldn’t progress we had to exit through the the losing door. We approached a staff member and told them the room booted us. They immediately responded with, “well did you say the green light” we said, “yes” to which they told us, “when the green light shows up it means we won and if the door is locked then we didn’t win and obviously didn’t see the green light.” No big deal we could try again. After it did this a second time we approached another staff member who told us basically the same thing. That we were wrong and their room was right. It is a chore to try and get help at Bam Kazam. Overall, Bam Kazam is a unique concept and you can definitely have fun but the staff aren’t very friendly and sometimes belittle you which is not fun at all. If you do end up coming here do so on a weekday when you don’t have to wait in such long lines. And bring a friend who has played before. They’ll treat you much nicer than any of the staff I encountered while there.

Don’t waste your time or money here. You’ll spend more time in line trying to get IN a mini game room than actually playing to get OUT. Also their rooms broke down on us and had to get re set which was annoying. I wish this place wasn’t even on this app.
