- SunScootPortland21 contributionsOur family of 4 adults, 60ish parents, 30ish kids, did the "Hour Before Christmas" with Maverick as our Game Master. She was a great explainer, hint giver (we asked for 2) and all around friendly and helpful host. The escape room had 12 puzzles all Christmas themed and they were very doable. In retrospect, we should have been patient and not asked for the clues as we finished with more than enough time. The theming, decorations were just perfect and lots of fun. Parking and access to the building is easy and we will definitely come again to finish up our discounted gift certificate which we purchased for ourselves!Written 24 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Ed-Cheryl WMcMinnville, Oregon, United States65 contributionsWe had 6 people work the Hyde room, and it was somewhat challenging, but clearly not hard. I think a great starter room. Some clever ideas, and decorated nicely.Written 9 September 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Dana DPortland, OR60 contributionsWe did the Pharaoh's Last Relic escape room as a Family activity over Christmas break and I cannot recommend it highly enough. We were a group of six ranging in age from 17-75. Everyone participated and it was a great time. Puzzles were challenging, but doable, and varied enough that everyone contributed. Compared to another room we have done at a different facility that required more of each person to solve "their" part of the puzzle. This was a great activity and we all walked away feeling smart and like we contributed! Highly recommend!Written 22 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- Michele EAlpharetta, GA140 contributionsReally fun way to see the city along the river and especially the falls and locks (nonfunctional). The guides were great and entertaining. Be prepared to get really wet though as they love doing 360s to entertain and soak the guests.Written 10 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jill SSalem, OR13 contributionsI went on the overnight adventure with a friend to celebrate my birthday and it was just amazing. Highly recommend. Leo (our guide) was the best mix of being open to conversation and questions, and also allowing us to be quiet and just bask in the views. The sunset was incredible! The Perseid meteor shower was happening and we saw shooting stars with an almost unobstructed view. It was so quiet, I slept really well in the hammock (it helped having slept in my own many times before), especially with the under-quilt provided for warmth. I wish we had taken more time to appreciate the tree after we came down, because it was the star of the show! The hardest part was hiking to the tree - it's over a mile walk, uphill, with backpacks, and the second hardest part was hauling the backpack up, so if you aren't into that, skip the overnight and just come for the sunset (ie: no backpack).Written 17 August 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- OwnLtlWrldRichland, WA208 contributionsThis is my third trip with Embark. Each has been unique and slightly different in organization, based on the country and culture of the places being visited. The 3 Volcano hike in Guatemala offered a highlight reel of the best places to see in Guatemala. The company is flexible, and if you’d like to arrive early (which I did, to stay an extra couple nights in Guatemala City) they’ll work with you. I didn’t do their 3 day extension to Tikal but have been to the Tikal site and recommend it highly. It’s beautiful and helps more fully appreciate the incredible history of Guatemala. Sleeping next to Fuego was magical and the Lake Atitlan region was gorgeous with great shopping. Food was delicious and fresh everywhere we went. Train hard so you can most fully enjoy the adventure!Written 10 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- MtBakerFarmEastsound, WA115 contributionsWe absolutely loved our helicopter flight around Seaside and Cannon Beach! Tyler, our pilot, was just great. I could have stayed up all afternoon, and the price was so affordable! Highly recommend this tour… we took the 15 minute tour but could easily have stayed up.Written 21 April 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Captain Adam was awesome with the kids and very knowledgeable.
