Review of "9-1-1" at KW Escape

KW Escapes clearly takes pride in putting together high value experiences. Their rooms are huge, they’re PACKED with puzzles, filled with high quality props and follow a well thought out story. Not to mention their top-notch customer service. This is how the new era of escape rooms is supposed to be.

From outside of the KW location you can see the front end of a large and very real firetruck parked inside. The firetruck isn’t just a massive prop but an integral part of the experience. There are no less than 14 puzzle stations with two puzzles each. There is a huge array of types of puzzles and yet somehow KW made them all work with the theme.

There’s enough to do in this room that a dozen or more people can pick a task and keep busy. We’ve escaped 74.5% of the rooms we’ve done as a duo and there is no way a team of two can do this in an hour. A seasoned team of four, maybe. It’s a medium-hard room with a LOT to do making it a very good value room. Corporate team building events will be great in this space because of the amount of puzzles to do, the range of puzzle difficulties, and the size of the space.

This is ALMOST what we call a 360 degree immersive room. KW is a very large location and the building height combined with the very tricky rules around faux ceilings, hvac, and sprinklers, makes it hard to make a “top” that’s immersive.

Man… That’s super picky. And that should tell you how good this room really is that “no fake sky” is one of the only pieces of feedback.

Animals are hard in escape rooms. Realistic animal props get worn out fast. Stuffed animals last a lifetime. And yet even with stuffed animals, KW makes them feel like a quality prop.

We loved this room and think you will too. Please hit book now and invite as many friends as you can!
