Find yourself in a secret genetics lab on Isla Nublar and use your wits to solve a serious problem: an apex predator has broken free and is headed your way. This escape room has more teeth (and claws) than anything you’ve experienced before.

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.
It felt as if we really were in the park trying to save guests.
All staff members were very friendly and helpful.

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!
Flowed extremely well; some might say to a fault because the individual rooms are timed
Stunning theming. Not surprised because it's Universal
The hosts were well informed.

However, if you play with the minimum 2 players, a couple of rooms have you running back and forth.

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.

More of an adventure than an escape room. Very easy.
Just too simple

As a walk-through experience with interactive, escape room-like elements, this is a very unique offering for a theme park that offers something a little different than traditional escape rooms. You will “escape” no matter what, but the real challenge is how quickly you can figure out the puzzle in each room, and you will be given a score for how many tasks you were able to accomplish. So if you go in with that goal in mind, I think you will have a good time. I think it was specifically designed with families in mind, and with the goal of getting people through the experience efficiently while also having a decent amount of time in each room.
Puzzles were fun and engaging, but not too difficult. Most things were touchscreen based, which I think worked for this experience.
The theming was just enough to sell you on the experience, but not over the top.
Yes, they were all friendly!

The story was basic, but engaging enough!

It’s not super hard to figure out— you feel a little rushed when you first enter a room, but once you figure out the trick of the room, it’s fairly straightforward. We were grouped with a family with two kids, and the lower difficulty helped them to feel engaged as well.
High tech
Most interactions are done on a touchscreen interface, and some special effects happen throughout the experience

Spooky
Not overly scary, but there are occasionally loud sound effects that are meant to “jumpscare” you

I think it is pretty child friendly— if an adult also helps them, because sometimes a lot of information is thrown at you at once. There was one room that I think was especially made with kids in mind— there was a simple activity that needed to be done alongside a harder puzzle.

If you make a reservation for the escape room, they will give you free parking to Universal’s parking garage— but that wasn’t so clear at first.

Beautiful theming, interesting effects, terrible gameplay. Hope it receives the update given to the Back to the Future room.

The worse experience ever... if you like real escape rooms this are not... its a walk through badly made. Avoid
