One of the best escapes I have ever had. Full attention to details and an incredible story, which you should try to understand since it all makes sense.

Such love went into this room. The set design made it so incredibly immersive and we had an absolute blast.

I found it amusing how the game master was so humble about his 'pretty alright' escape room and 'standard' safety video compared to how much fun I had. I have found that I am growing increasingly fond of the Western themed escape rooms lately and how immaculate the decor and music are and this was no exception. I feel like I ought to have dressed like a cowboy to complete the immersion. Each puzzle was intricate, well-executed, and even plot-relevant (although one near the end was really wordy and stumped us because we over thought it), the mechanism to deliver hints was delightful, and the storyline itself was intriguing. I can't wait to come back to see the next in the series!

This is a room with a story, they don't leave you with any open questions, and the room and props was amazing. It isn't really linear but almost. There will be a few moments where you're hinged on one issue waiting, but with three people this only happened twice for us one just a matter of a minute, and the second no more than 3-5 minutes.

We had a great time as a group of 3. Good set design and props keep you immersed in the Wild West saloon setting. Good variety of locks and puzzles.
Owner was very welcoming. He has a coffee and water bar with chocolate while you wait. He offered one helpful hint when asked and shared details about the room design after we broke out. Room has a lot to do and design is very immersive. Intro and rules video was super funny.

THIS. This is why Morty & wonderful escape rooms go together like chocolate & peanut butter. I don't think I would've found this place without Morty which rated this as the best game in the DC area and as predicted, they were spot on. On to the game! The moment you walk in, you'll be dazzled. The attention to set design is amazing. (Obviously from the title, you can guess that this is a Western theme.). As someone who's done a number of rooms, I love coming across new and interesting puzzles & these did not disappoint coming across in both design complexity. They were challenging and intuitive. The ending was fantastic. I won't say more. Year after year, this room racks up awards. Do yourself a favor & go do this room. (Also, the more successful Cyber Racoon is, the sooner they can open their new room!)
Wonderful flow with a mix of non-linear & linear.
Amazing set!
Couldn't have been nicer!

Excellent room. The pacing and complexity of the puzzles were perfect for beginner or intermediate puzzlers, but there were also a number of more complex puzzles for experts too! The DM was also very jovial, kind, and didnβt stop smiling! Wonderful room, I wish I could do it again for the first time!

We went here for our wedding day!! (We said we could sign our marriage certificate if we got out!!) This was the perfect room for two escape room enthusiasts on our special day. The room was awesome!! The puzzles were challenging enough. The GM was so friendly and inviting!! Definitely couldnβt have asked for anything else!! Thank you SO MUCH!! Oh!! And there are phone chargers in the lockers!! Such a nice added touch!!
Lost track of the storyline a bit. But the puzzles were super cool!!
Amazing from the moment you stepped into the room!!
GM was AWESOME!! He was so welcoming and made our WEDDING DAY GAME an absolutely memorable experience!! (Bet he didnβt expect to take pictures for us on our wedding day!! π€£π€£)

Even if you donβt need a hint, ask for at least one. Their clever way of getting hints is a fun addition worth experiencing.

Might be my favourite room in DC! (Or maybe second favourite after The Depths?) My team of three escaped and had a blast. The set is thoughtful and in good condition. It took us a little bit to get some momentum going, but the pieces fit together logically and creatively, with a mix of difficulties. Not too linear, which is nice in a groupβ we could work in parallel. Every puzzle felt well rewarded, and everything worked as it is supposed to. The pre-game rules video is absolutely the cringiest one Iβve seen in a very cringy genre, though. Well worth the drive from DC proper!

βIt was created with care. Puzzles or not, we wanted to spend time in this place. β
βTrain Robbery is an escape room built around a strong narrative paired with awesome puzzles.β
βAcross the board, Train Robbery is well above the industry norm ...β
