The Cryptic Room, Council Bluffs IA

Great experience! Friendly staff! Rooms give you a mental challenge, but enough focus and attention to detail and you can figure it out! Had a great time!

My husband and I play a lot of escape rooms. You could say we are a little bit addicted lol. We just played 2 games here and had a great time. The customer service here is excellent (which is sadly becoming rare these days) and you can tell they are enthusiastic and have a passion for escape rooms. The games were well thought out and had a good variety of puzzles and challenges to them. We especially enjoyed the paradise room. The endings to the games were clever and unique as well. Definitely check them out!

Hands down, best escape room I've ever been to. The owner clearly loves what he does. The puzzles are unique, fun, and just the right amount of challenging with a lot of personal touches. I also love the over-arching mystery that ties all the rooms together! What a fantastic idea. It's truly a special experience. I'm not going to say anything else or include photos because I don't want to spoil anything! Anyways, thank you!

First time ever doing an escape room and it was a blast! Angel was super sweet and super informative and helped when we needed it! Definitely will be coming back! Thank you for such an amazing experience!

Friends and I had a blast playing C. O R. E.and our hacker (game master) Kodi was amazing! Definitely recommend

We had a blast here. Perfect for young kids to adults. Very friendly staff and great clues! It was challenging but a ton of fun. We made it out with a minute to spare! Highly recommend especially for birthday parties.

We did two rooms - the easiest and the hardest, haha! Though we didn't know it was the hardest when we booked it. Both were a lot of fun, and the staff were super nice and helpful. Want to go back and do the other rooms.

Such a fun way to spend a girl's night out! We didn't escape but we had so much fun trying and we'll definitely try again soon!

Took my young daughter and her friends. They had a blast! The staff there was amazing, super kind and super understanding of a group of young girls there to just to be silly and have fun. High recommend and will definitely plan to go again.

We celebrated our son's 18th Birthday there. Our experience of the Cryptic Room allow us to bond and see each others strengths. We was able to see how each of us work together on an equal playing field. Family hierarchy didn't matter.

Great experience and fun time. Right level of difficulty for our group and host did a nudge only when we needed it. Definitely going back.

We scheduled an escape room for the same day we planned to visit since they were appointment only. We got there and the building was dark. Upon calling the business we spoke with a gal who was so apologetic and kind! She explained that today was she was in meetings all day, and that it shouldn't have allowed us to book, but sit tight and she'd be there shortly. She pulled up about 10 minutes later and got us situated for our room, 'Paradise? '. We escaped with time to spare and she took our photo and chatted with her a bit before we left. Overall a very good experience and the rooms are very well put together and thought out! We will definately be back to do more!

Absolutely Incredible, so much fun and so much more affordable than the Omaha escape rooms. They were awesome and I will definitely be back to play the other ones soon:)

We had 3 first time escape artists and 3 others that have done one or two escape rooms before that went to the assassin theme room last night.we had so much fun! When I called to set it up, the lady who answered my call was so pleasant and accommodating. I appreciated her getting help to come in for our group to be able to do the event. The room was fun and had a lot of clues for us to figure out. I am so happy that we went there and can't wait until we go again to try another theme! Thank you Cryptic Room!

Took my granddaughter and her friends for a birthday. They had a blast and we will more than likely go back and escape from another room!

SO MUCH FUN! This is the best Escape Room I've been to. The room was fun, the staff is awesome and I'd highly recommend this experience for anyone looking to get out and do something different for an hour or two! You won't regret it.

First time at The Cryptic Room. Fantastic escape room. Puzzles were HARD at times but seemed to make sense and were a lot of fun to solve. We did the Lost Cave and made it out with about a minute to spare. Whew! We will excitedly return.
