I had done about 7 or 8 other escape rooms in states across the country, and Bonds is by far the best experience I’ve had!Friends

I recently planned a team building event… We successfully Saved the White House and had an awesome time!Team building
I did the Venus room with my boyfriend and we managed to finish it RIGHT on time! … 10/10 in my book!Date night
My group did Molly’s Horror room for my birthday and it was such a blast! … Best escape room i’ve done so far hands down.Birthday
We had a family day out today. The Elven Forest was amazing! … especially for our first Escape Room experience!Family
My Team and I were recommended to “Save the White House” which was big enough for 10 people to fit with lots of room to spare!Team building
Great effects and great fun in the Sleepover Slaughterhouse. Scary, but not too scary (PG scary).Scary
We had amazing experience with my child’s birthday party! … The kids of different ages (7 through 15) really enjoyed the Save the White House room.Birthday
My friends, gf, and I took on The Frightful Feast last night. Everyone had a blast! … We managed to get out with 14 minutes to spare.Friends
This is the only place i’ve seen that offered a room for 2 people. It’s great for couples/friends who just want to do one on their own.Date night
I had 2 children with me – aged 14 and 11 and the room was perfectly fine for them. The puzzles were good and it was a good time for all!Family
Escape room questions
The questions we hear most at the front desk.
Are we actually locked in?
No. The door isn’t locked and you can step out any time. A game master keeps an eye on every game and is ready with hints when you get stuck.
Is it scary?
Only if you want it to be. There are no live actors. A few rooms have jump scares — Sleepover Slaughterhouse is our scariest — and most rooms are family-friendly.
Can we play with just 2 people?
Yes. Escape From Venus II and Bowl Voyage in Fairfax and Dr. Panic’s Asylum and Saddlewood Saloon in Arlington are built for two. Any other room is yours with the 3-ticket minimum ($102).
What ages is it good for?
Escape rooms have no hard age limit, and Kids Mode runs on select rooms for ages 6–13. Scary rooms are best for 14+. VR is for ages 8 and up, with adult supervision under 13.
Can we have more than the maximum players?
Often two over the listed maximum works, but the room gets tight. Call the location and we will tell you honestly whether it is a good idea.
Do the games need physical strength?
No. Our rooms are brain-focused. Expect some walking, reaching and bending, nothing strenuous.
