    This is not your typical escape room challenge game. You have to work as a team to solve challenges, progress through the levels and earn points! Great time with friends! Super convenient that they have a kitchen and bar too. Christian our bartender was awesome and KY kept the vibes up with the music!

    Christian was amazing! From the moment we walked up to the bar, he was friendly, attentive, and genuinely fun to talk to. He made great drink recommendations, checked on us throughout the night, and brought such good energy to the experience. You can tell he loves what he does, it really elevated our entire Beat The Bomb date night. If you’re going, definitely find Christian. He’ll take great care of you!

    The staff was amazing at the DC location, they were attentive, informative, and helpful. The bartender AFI let us know there are endless possibilities when completing the games. I love that your pictures and videos are emailed and included in the ticket price. Overall my family of 6, kids 8-13 loved the experience.

    Beat The Bomb was crazy fun today. We pulled up thinking we were ready… we were NOT ready at all. The games had us working as a team, moving nonstop, and laughing the whole time. The staff was cool, the setup was super clean, and the whole experience was way better than I expected. If you’re looking for something different to do with friends or family, go play this. Trust me — you’re gonna find out real quick who’s built for the mission and who’s not. We had a blast.

    Unfortunately, I had a disappointing experience during my visit on November 9. Two out of the four rooms didn’t work properly, and I spent a lot of time trying to find someone to fix the issues and waiting for the repairs. Because of that, I couldn’t really enjoy the experience. I celebrated my birthday at your location last year and had an amazing time, which is why I decided to come back again this year on my birthday day. However, this time was very disappointing compared to my previous visit.
