Big Top Blast

I knew going into it that this wasn’t an escape room but a series of mini games/challenges that can get progressively harder as you go. But It’s a Blast’s execution of this concept leaves a lot to be desired. My biggest issue is that several components were broken—and we did this experience in late February when they’ve only been open for 3 months. If your game is already so worn and you know about the issues but haven’t fixed them, that’s a huge negative and makes it so I cannot recommend this experience to anyone. Another major issue is that some of the games just aren’t much fun but felt tedious. Also, the point system makes very little sense and seemed arbitrary. There’s no real way to tell how well you did or what you could’ve done differently. I definitely wouldn’t go back, and if we hadn’t gotten 50% off to go in the first place, I’d be pretty upset about how much this experience cost.

This isn’t an escape room. It is a timed and guided experience through several mini games. They tend to be simpler games of matching or timing, not puzzles to solve or figure out. I think this could be a great experience for a family to do with their kids. But I can’t say I’d recommend it to other escape room enthusiasts if you’re looking for an experience with puzzles to solve.

Writing a review since no one has yet, was really on the fence on how to rate this experience. Definitely not an escape, more like a bunch of mini games with a story and you're trying to get a high score. Escape enthusiasts won't like this at all but it is a really good options for kids
