Time Trap Escape Room - New Port Richey, Florida

Jeff Zander

My daughter wanted to come here for her birthday so we gave it a try. Host was very pleasant, we did the Egypt room which was a level 7 difficulty and with a party of 6 we managed to solve it with 24 seconds remaining. Good family fun and kept everyone busy.

We stumbled across this place the other day through Google, not realizing it’s been around for awhile as we usually go to Tampa.

Very clean place!
Easy to book online!
Instructor was helpful with a great attitude!

Definitely we will be back to try the other room. Everyone escaped and were able to write their name on your “wall of fame “

Thanks for having us.

I've been here twice. Both times, I went with my wife so there were just the two of us.

We played the box and we played the cyclist lab We failed both. It was mostly fun.

The two stars is due to the help and business model. When you're in the room, they monitor you like most places do. This place however will just tell you clues without asking. It kind of ruins the whole point of solving the rooms if someone keeps chiming in to help. I would give 5 stars for pretty cool and unique rooms otherwise.

When we left the Box, we would have come back again to finish, or even paid for more time. There was no point though as after we ran out of time, the person told us how to beat it even though we asked them not to before going in. It's like they couldn't hold it in.

We went back to do the cyclists lab. When the guy started to try to give us clues, I had to say, "No more clues!" Even after saying this, he chimed in again telling me an item in the room was not part of the puzzle so I shouldn't focus on it.

We ran out of time. Again, we would have gone back to the same room as we wanted to finish it. We already know how to though as it was told to us right as we were leaving the room before i could even tell the guy (again) not to. "If you guys had only..." (I don't want to leave spoilers.) My wife and I are not going back. What's the point?

If I owned this business, I would make the following changes immediately:
1) Don't give clues unsolicited. Tell customers they can ask for help at any time and ONLY offer help if they ask. To be fair, they do say this to you when entering. It's like they can't help themselves though, or maybe they forget you asked them not to.
2) Space the bookings out just a little further. This way, if someone runs out of time, you can charge a premium for however many more minutes. We would have paid full cost for another 20 minutes or so. If we failed still, you would have had double the money and we would have been curious to try again.
3) Never tell people who run out of time how they could have beat the puzzle, how close they were, etc. If you do, why would they try again? There's no more puzzle left after that.
4) Make sure clients are actually signing the waivers. Both times, I just told them I did and that was it, they trusted me. I didnt even have to lie, they asked, "you already did it online, right?" I have no idea what's on the waiver.
5) Make necessary repairs in a timely manner. It's not my fault that things that are supposed to be locked or secured, are not locked and secured. (We bypassed a section in one instance due to a failure as listed above.)

Edit: Thank you for your reply Owner. I've added a photo of my last visit confirmation to show my contact email and booking into

Don’t go as the owner is very nasty. Spend your money elsewhere. We arranged a group event and when we showed up they was very unorganized. We even got there early. In the end wasted 2 hours just going back and forth with the owner on payments. We offered to pay in full on one debt card or even in cash.
Then by the time they even showed up to let us in they said another group was coming so we couldn’t play. They then did a refund for less then what was paid already.
So they stole money, wasted our time, and more.

My husband and kids did the lab escape room yesterday. They had a really great time. The customer service is excellent as well as the instructions given to understand how to approach the room. The clues that were given when asked for gave hints without giving away the solution. I waited for them in the lobby and was given a tablet so that I could watch/listen to them. I was able to enjoy it even though I didn't participate actively. We will definitely be back to try the other rooms.

I had my dtrs 12th birthday party here, they did the escape room and I rented the party room for 2.5 hours, they were very accommodating and Lisa was helpful and the kids had a blast, I think for the amount I paid it was worth it. We would go back, they made it out with 56 seconds left and could sign the wall, if I had one complaint I would say they should include a photo when you win with the rental. Ty Lisa

Escape rooms are soooo much fun and you will definitely have a good time at this location.
Local, clean, and great staff! I love how they have seasonal escape rooms for you to try as well. My group just did the Halloween room nightmare in the museum. DID NOT disappoint!
Just go have some fun. You'll thank me. ?

Had a fantastic experience with The White House room! Unfortunately we had been running into issues with other escape rooms missing keys, locks, or forgetting to lock things. BUT that was not the case at Time Trap! Everything ran smoothly, a great time for the whole family!
