Jurassic World: Escape

Overall fun experience especially for those who are big Jurassic Park or dinosaur fans. Some of the puzzles were either too easy or hard to follow. I love a multi room escape room so that’s a plus!

To start I would say I had a good time and I enjoyed the set design and theming. I read the negative reviews which are mostly about "this is not an escape room". I would say comparison is the stealer of joy. It is a Jurassic World themed interactive experience and if you go in with that mind set you will have fun. Really liked the lobby.

This experience is more of a guided walk-through attraction than an actual escape room. But the most important question is if it’s fun? The answer is no. Each of the rooms basically feature one puzzle each. The bookings are public, so you and possibly a bunch of strangers, must navigate through small rooms trying to solve one puzzle in the entire room. Excuse me, did I say puzzle? I meant task. The “puzzles” are mostly repetitive tasks and busy work with multiple levels. If you solve the puzzle the first time, you have to do it again, just slightly harder. The guide even recommends you switch around roles so everyone in the public booking group gets a chance to play. What even is this?! The task also isn’t that fun the first time, and I was actually getting bored waiting to transition to the next area. If you don’t finish every level of every task within the room’s time limit, you don’t get a perfect score. Did I mention that it’s score based? Everyone escapes either way, so the room just tests how fast you can do the tasks based on an invisible time limit. But at least it’s immersive, right? Well, about that. If you come in expecting even half the set and prop quality of the Universal Studios theme park rides, you will be severely disappointed by the “immersion.” The rooms are $60 per person, so you might as well just pay more to go spend a day at the actual theme park if you want Jurassic Park adventures. The Back to the Future escape attraction here is more fun and more similar to a traditional escape room, so I would recommend that if you’re really raring to try one of these out. Or watch the movies!

This is a puzzle walkthrough experience. not a trad escape room. you will make it out and win no matter what! it's all about how many puzzles can you do in the time

So high tech and has a fun (and a little scary) twist 👀

Amazing escape room. Unfortunately we did not make it out in time but we did very well. It was fun, challenging, and we had plenty to do being it was just two of us. We would absolutely do it again.

I have a lot to say about this experience relative to the main stream blogosphere. A Seamless High-Tech Experience with Universal Flair! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Had an unexpectedly great time here! ⚡🕵️‍♀️ From start to finish, everything ran super smooth – almost to a fault because each room is timed ⏱️, so you’re always moving! Definitely helped keep the energy up the whole way through. This one’s all about the tech! 🖥️🧩 Touchscreens, and clever tasks. It felt really modern and high-end, and because the play mechanic is computerized I can see how it can give one a great replay value! ♻️ Theming was absolutely stunning ✨ – not a shock since it’s Universal. The rooms looked incredible, and the story we were given fit the theme perfectly. The tasks were fun and just challenging enough. But it must be noted that ALL the puzzles are task oriented. Some took a second to click 🤔, but once they did, we were flying through them. That stated, the task is the same once you get on a roll so the only task variation is from room to room. Not scary at all 👻❌, so kids can totally play, though anyone under 13 will definitely need a adult help for the logic 🧒👨‍👩‍👧‍👦. It’s not super physical either, UNLESS you’re a 2-player group; in that case, be ready to do a little cardio accomplishing y'all's in one or two of the rooms! 🏃💨 Shoutout to the staff (Razz), they were friendly, helpful, and knew their stuff 🙌. Nothing in the rooms were broken, everything worked perfectly ✅, and while there weren’t any live actors, the whole experience was super immersive. Bonus: the game is very accessible ♿ and easy to find on the Universal City Walk map 📍. Parking: Easy 🚗 Tech level: Through the roof ⚙️💡 Scare level: 1/10 spooky vibes Best for: Groups of 2-5 👯‍♂️👯 Age: 13+ recommended, younger with help The only negative is I would love to see selfies and pictures allowed in the experience! 📸 If you’re into slick, high-tech escape games with amazing visuals and task based gameplay, you’ll have a great time here. If you're wanting a traditional lock/key and cipher/logic puzzles you'll be disappointed. We’re already thinking about running it back with my kiddos!

This "escape experience" (we'll call it, just for the people who rated it poorly because it didn't fit into the checklisted cookie cutter escape room template) was freakin AWESOME. Over the top stupid excellent theming, entirely gen 3 with well executed tech, and super immersive. Yes we weren't really fans of being shuffled along and not being able to conquer the room one piece at a time like we typically enjoy doing, but look around you. You're at Universal. Walk into it knowing that it's going to be a bit different, more of an immersive experience, and you won't be disappointed.

Tough. Especially for new players. It's 4 minimum, and my wife and I are good, but the team we got paired with played for the FIRST TIME. So it was slow, but the puzzles were a lot of fun, very interactive.

Got booked into this room after the other room had technical issues. More of a guided tour with some puzzles but if you fail you’ll be shuffled into the next room. Some of the puzzles were fun while others made no sense and the game master wasn’t exact up to the task to make the room any more fun. Definitely not worth an extra trip for but if you’re in universal and looking for something to do, it’ll do the trick.
