PanIQ Escape Room Indy - Indianapolis, Indiana

Fun story, high quality sets/props. Clues were easy to follow and we could feel the story progressing as we completed things. Nice ambiance with good moody and appropriate lighting. We could always read what we needed to without difficulty.

We loved several of the puzzle components which required more movement, taking some small typically handheld puzzles and making them giant.

Clues were unlimited and we used a few. They were more like nudges, which is how we prefer them. For one element we weren't picking up on what it wanted from us, requiring a second hint which cleared it up.

A few things seemed to trigger either on their own, or without us knowing we had completed the task, like drawers popping open. Perhaps they were delayed or we just missed what triggered them. It didn't detract from our enjoyment, just a bit curious.

One later puzzle we were able to figure out, but not the way it was intended. When we asked how we were "supposed" to do it, we got a real laugh because we had made it much more difficult.

This was a really good franchise escape room in my opinion, I hope to play some of their rooms again.

Great first experience with escape rooms! We went through the haunted room which was 45 minutes to get out and we got out with 1 minute to spare. Our host Stephanie was super sweet and helped figure out what to do. The room was a lot of fun and we'd go back to do another room in the future. Definitely a good experience.

Highly recommend this escape room!!

Me and two of my friends went to the Insane Asylum room on 2/10/25. It was great! Challenging but not impossible. The person working our room, Jake, was super friendly and informative! Place was slightly difficult to find but the atmosphere of the entire place and the escape room itself made up for this 100%. 10/10 will come back for the other rooms if back in the area.

My family and I have done more escape rooms than I can count so it's important that we are challenged. We did the Insane Asylum and, with the exception of 1 puzzle, it was among the best design. The features were more advanced than most places. The whole family agreed that it was a really good game.

The escape room was a blast. There was a huge event down town that we didn't know about until to late, so we were about 15mins late. Luckily they didn't have any bookings behind us so they gave us the entire time. We did the asylim room, it was great. The puzzles were the right amount of tricky. We had 7 people. Usually with this many people, some would end up setting around not able to do anything. Here the puzzles were seperate enough that our group could split up and solve seperately. Don't choose this room if blinking/strobe lights bother you, there are a lot. If that isn't a problem for you, it was a fun time.

This was a clean establishment. The game was fun and kept us on our toes. The employees were all kind and knowledgeable and Jake was a great help to our team.

We had a fun time escaping from The Haunted Manor! We were running ahead of schedule and were able to get our booking time moved up, which we very much appreciated. The lobby was really nicely decorated. Jake was an amazing host!

We did The Haunted Manor room on Saturday, 3/9/24. Literally the only thing we didn’t like was that it was sometimes difficult to hear our guide when we asked for hints. I feel there was MAYBE something wrong with the speakers because we had just done the Stranded In Space room on Wednesday, 3/6/24 and had zero difficulty hearing over those speakers. We also had difficulty hearing some of the story over the speakers BUT it could have just been our older age. 🤷🏻‍♀️
Other than that, BOTH ROOMS WERE PHENOMENAL! Props are CLEAN & in great shape. Rooms were in great shape. Story lines were well thought out.
STAFF IS PHENOMENAL! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The rooms ARE darker & we did have to use the flashlight on our phone to read some stuff but then again, I’m 50 & my husband is 60. 😂 They did end up bringing us one of those small flashlights that fits in your palm and that was very helpful. 🥰
I would definitely say we loved it!
Our guide/host for Saturday evening , Jace, was amazing. He did a great job explaining everything and was helpful. He also takes great group pictures. 😂
We don’t remember our guide/hosts name for 3/6/24 but she was equally as pleasant & amazing.
We really liked that the guides were willing to take a group picture for us. There was also this fun chair in the lobby I made sure to take a picture in because I’m a big weirdo. 😂
There is water in the lobby you can purchase for $2 which is nice.
SUPER IMPORTANT to arrive 15 minutes BEFORE your appointment so you can fill out waivers for each person in your group and also to get your instructions.
Nice, clean restrooms. Low lighting in lobby was great for “ambiance lighting”.

Lastly, when you get to the building, you will notice the doors are locked.
Make sure you read the paper on the door because it will instruct you to call a number for them to come out and let you in. 🥰

We truly loved it and will definitely be returning for the other rooms.
THANK YOU FOR THE FUN EXPERIENCE, INDIANAPOLIS PANIQ!
