Recently did one of the "escape room" events. In theory, the event could have been a lot of fun. The room was visually detailed and immersive, but that was the only good part. First off, it was way overpriced at $30/person given the frustration and horrible puzzle implementation. It just wasnt fun, there was no sense of accomplishment or victory. The interactive pieces of the game/puzzles was clearly abused and not taken care of, and many parts were impossible to read or figure out what to do. The puzzles were very simple in theory, but even with the provided iPad to unlock extra clues (for a time penalty), we were way past what the clue told us and yet we still couldnt unlock the puzzles. Key clues were missing that made puzzles impossible to solve, and multiple times the room supervisor had to come over the intercom and give us MORE clues that we could have never known without sheer dumb luck. Id say there were about 8 puzzles and 4-5 of them REQUIRED additional help, that defeated the point of the puzzle, the game, and any sense of accomplishment. I left the escape room thinking "what was the point and why did I pay for that?" At least there was entertainment in laughing about how pointless it was with friends afterwards.

The reason to go to these escape rooms over others in the area is that they focus on set design and decoration. These create an interesting and creepy (thanks to their haunted house experience) atmosphere. After the dull "decorations" and sets of the popular downtown Portland escape room, this was a nice change. Weve done 3 of their rooms here, and Id recommend Mental Trap for anyone who enjoys escape rooms with a focus on sets and atmosphere.

First timers! We did blood forest, takes about an hr on average. Very detailed aesthetic, decoration, and sound effects. Similar to a haunted house. It was dark, but we were provided flash lights, and a walkie. This room was honestly pretty challenging, but incredibly fun!! We will definitely go back!

Expensive but so worth it! I had my sister my boyfriend and my brother in-law go as a group and it was a fun bonding experience for all of us. They pay attention to the little details of things and can tell when you get stuck and offer helpful hints. If you like puzzles you should definitely go!

Highly suggested, had a huge amount of fun and it wasnt too scary. We were worried that it was going to be pop out scary, but it was really just about messing with you, mentally.

Very fun. The test was hard but doable and they kept an eye on you and gave suggestions if wanted them. They really tried to help you keep moving and have fun
