About Trapped in Tahoe

Trapped in Tahoe is a locally owned and operated escape room experience in the Tahoe Basin. Since its opening in 2016, the business has hosted numerous special events and occasions. The company offers four different theme rooms, each designed to transport customers to another time and place. The rooms feature challenging puzzles and clues that require teamwork and problem-solving skills to escape. With unlimited hints available upon request, customers can take their time to figure out the puzzles without feeling rushed. The staff is friendly and accommodating, providing a welcoming atmosphere for all. The rooms are designed to be realistic, with great attention to detail and props. Customers have described the experience as incredible, with well-designed rooms and fun, detailed clues. The Prospect room is a good challenge, while The Estate room gets the brain juices flowing. Overall, Trapped in Tahoe offers an immersive and enjoyable experience suitable for groups of all sizes and ages. The set and lighting are well-designed, giving off early 20th-century vibes of the creepy kind, and the puzzles are fair and interesting. The game master is capable and attentive, and all rooms are private, making the experience more engaging. The business is praised for its clever clues, fun atmosphere, and the opportunity for bonding. Despite some minor issues like a globe that no longer spins and a non-working shift key, the overall experience is smooth and enjoyable. Customers often find it to be a great activity when outdoor sports are less appealing, and many look forward to returning to try different rooms.

    We started with the Polar Express, which was so much fun and perfect for the kids, that we immediately booked another room and did The Estate right after. Both experiences were engaging, well thought out, and a blast for the whole family.

    Our game master was fantastic, very accommodating, patient, and made everything run smoothly. You can tell they really care about making sure everyone has a great experience.

    We also heard they’ll be replacing a few of the rooms, spoiler alert, one will be Frankenstein, which...read full review

    Family of 4 first timers chose The Prospect room. We had a great time! Super informative and friendly staff. The puzzles really make you think. The hints don't just give it away but definitely help steer in the right direction. This was a great time and we look forward to doing this again.
