PanIQ Escape Room Washington DC, Washington

Too complicated and hints were not helpful but friendly staff

We had a GREAT time at the PanIQ Escape Room in Georgetown. We did the Primal Quest room with 4 ppl and it was just the right balance of challenging and fun! A shoutout to our game master who was just the best! We will be back.

Pretty good escape room. The one time we got stuck, we received just enough assistance to get us to the finish line. The gal working the desk was not overly friendly but she was fine.

Awesome fun that really kept everyone entertained and thinking. Would definitely do a repeat. Pros Friendly and accommodating staff that obliged us in turning on the air conditioning in February as it was hot out that day. Getting a private game for six was affordable when using Groupon made it a great deal for the money. It was very challenging. The ambiance and stage props were great putting us in mind set of being held captive by a cannibalistic tribe in a cave. The puzzles were awesome. Some were surprisingly difficult to solve but still fun. Cons They could use a new location that is not so difficult to get to. It is behind a coded gate from the street which kind of adds to the game but then you've got 4 full flights of very steep long stairs to climb so anyone with bad knees or any issues with stairs can count this out. They do warn right up front that it is not handicap accessible. It would also have been a very welcomed gesture to at least have bottled water as a courtesy or for sale because it was so hot and the climb up all those stairs made us very thirsty. All in all a definite repeat as it's a lot of fun once you arrive. I am glad we picked the easiest level as it was really hard. Though we didn't win, the staff was very kind in letting us have a few extra minutes to figure out the last puzzle while she was setting up for the next group.
