I took my kids and their friend to try out one of the attractions and we loved it so much that we ended up doing all three. Miya was on shift there that day and took very good care of us. We all had a great experience and plan to return. I highly recommend 5 Wits for kids and adults of all ages, but probably not very young kids.

TL;DR: Great aesthetic, friendly service, and highly engaging with "puzzles". Quite easy, so believe when they say it's not an escape room. A little overpriced for the experience.

My husband and I went into this activity with open minds, and were curious what they meant by stating it wasn't an escape room, since it look very similar, so we tried it out. This was more of a series of activities, with no real puzzle-solving logic needed. We were given the tasks, and basically had to complete each task accurately and quickly. That said, this would be great for younger crowds, or really anyone who doesn't care for all the puzzle-solving in true escape rooms. The features (lights, sound effects, etc.) were absolutely great, so no complaints at all on the aesthetics. The staff was very friendly and seemed to be well-organized even though there were multiple birthday parties/large groups arriving around the same time. Overall, this honestly felt more like a quick amusement park attraction, and it seemed like most people were able to complete within 30 minutes. Due to the simplicity of the activities and the short time frame, the price seems a bit much. The aesthetics add a little razzle dazzle to make you ooh and aah, but it would probably be fairer at about $10 less. I would go again with teens and younger if I catch a sale so they can enjoy it, but probably not with adults, sale or not.

Super fun experience. We had a school group of 200 students and a huge snowstorm came into DC and everything was closed. We were stuck at the hotel and did not know what to do with all the kids. Ian the manager was so kind and super flexible to accommodate us last minute and was able to offer our group of students and unforgettable adventure room experience. This is a great idea for anyone with large groups wanting to get out of the rain the snow or any other crazy weather. If you’re also into escape rooms, this is a great option.

A really fun experience for a small group. We managed to really enjoy ourselves with just us 3. It was a bit of a challenge on the speed of response type scenarios so maybe it would be best for a group of 4-5. The surfaces and quality was much better than I expected. For example, the highly touched surfaces were well intact without showing wear, like some escape rooms that have lot of wear and tear it gives away where your supposed to pull, lift, move, etc. This place was great in that manner. I'm looking forward to doing the other rooms, soon.

First let me start by saying Ian and Miya were great host. Their amazing customer service is what got us to sign up. This is definitely better than an escape room. More fun and less pressure. If you have team work and a love for solving puzzles this is the place for you. Definitely give it a try. The staff really played their roles.

Miya and the 5 Wits Arlington team were so lovely to work with. We had a birthday party for our eleven year-old and the whole process was seamless. Miya went out of her way to accommodate our group and I was incredibly impressed by the helpful staff and terrific facilities. The themed rooms were impressive and a lot of fun for the kids! Our guide, Asli, was outstanding, helpful, and kind. Thank you for a really terrific experience. I highly recommend everything about this place! 🙂
