Escape rooms are our hobby and we’ve done 100+ of them at this point. River City is one of the best places we’ve ever visited. Rachel and Dennis were some of the best (perhaps *the* best) staff and GMs we’ve ever had the pleasure of working with and I can promise you we’ll return to River City when we’re back in the area.

River City Escape Room has the best Escape Rooms my friends and family have ever done. Great owners too, don’t hesitate to book an experience!

I’ve done 3 rooms at River City now and they are the best! They go ALL-OUT on decorating the rooms to really immerse you in the story. There’s also a good variety of puzzles and locks. In the latest room, I was able to recognize some of the mechanics they were using, but the puzzles are all unique enough that it was still challenging and fun to solve. The Alice in Wonderland room is the most amazing escape room I’ve seen. My whole party loved it! Highly recommend before it’s gone!

My friend Melanie and I did a girl’s weekend in Richmond and found this escape room and decided to try it out. I have done several but this was her first one, and it was incredible. We did the Sherlock Holmes room and it was full of incredible clues, riddles, twists and turns. Not to mention the decor was spot on and really helped enhance the game!!!!! Dennis was our host and HE WAS AMAZING. He gets five stars alone just for his hospitality!! Thanks y’all for making our day so much fun.

This was my first escape room experience and my husband and I were very impressed. I chose the speakeasy room and it was very authentic and even with clues we did not escape in time but they were kind enough to let us stay till we got it since we were so close. I would definitely go here again!

This. Place. Is. So. Insanely. COOL! I had a LOT of fun here with my mother and my family for Mother’s Day! We did the Alice In Wonderland themed escape room on medium/hard difficulty! It was really cool and an awesome experience! The escape rooms are made by hand by the workers, and there was such spectacular detail and hard work invested into it! They can adjust the difficulty based on whether you’re doing well or not. We started off at medium difficulty but since we were whizzing through the room, they adjusted the difficulty to hard as we went through it. You also can ask for tips and talk to them through a microphone, and they can observe you through security cameras. It’s all based on mental puzzles, so no physical puzzles. They made sure to tell us not to attempt to take ANYTHING apart. Once we finished, an employee let us dress up and pose with props, costumes, and signs and they took a group photo for us! Overall, a great experience that I REALLY recommend you check out! 5 out of 5 stars!

This was awesome! Me and my 2 friends went and did the medium Alice and wonderland. The details were amazing inside the room (especially considered they are handmade!!) The girl who helped us was incredibly sweet and so fun to talk to while we waited and after we finished. She made our experience even better. 10/10 will come back here! :))
