If you're looking for a bonding experience with your friends, co-workers, partners, or family members, an escape room may be the activity for you. An escape room can help you collaborate with others to solve puzzles and mysteries before the time runs out. No matter if you win or lose, it's a shared experience of working together and communicating in order to accomplish a shared goal.

Our team at Bountiful Mazda researched and compiled a list of the best escape rooms in and near Bountiful, Utah, for you to check out.

Big Brain Escape

When you visit Big Brain Escape, you'll experience an escape room unlike any other you've been to before. What sets this escape room apart from its competitors is you're solving innovative, unique puzzles. While you're in the room, you have 60 minutes to escape, but expect the entire visit to take about 90 minutes. Big Brain Escape recommends having at least four people to complete the puzzle before your time is up, but you can have two to eight players in total.

This escape room is family-friendly but encourages the groups to be at least 12 and up, as some rooms have scarier themes that aren't as good for younger children. It's important to note that you're not locked inside the room and can leave whenever you want.

For prices, you can pay $25 per person for a group of four to eight people, no matter when you come. If you come Monday through Thursday, it's $30 per person for three people and $35 per person for two people. On Friday and Saturday, the prices increase to $33 per person for three people and $50 per person for two people.

Hours: Monday through Friday from 3 to 9 p.m. and Saturday from 11 a.m. to midnight

Address: 600 N. 500 W., Suite C, Bountiful

Great Room Escape

Each room can fit up to eight people, except for the Countdown room, which only allows six people. The Great Room Escape suggests that children under 8 years old may be too young for the games.

The prices are $29.95 per person, regardless of someone's age.
