There is a brand new escape room experience in Provo. Tempus Escapes is unique because it is located in a boxcar behind one of our favorite restaurants in Provo, The Social. The entire escape room is automated, so there are no workers. You step into a spaceship, and have to get it back on course to Earth. We took our family to Tempus Escapes and had fun figuring out the different puzzles. They are also offering our readers a special discount code: “UtahsAdventureFam” will save you 15% off your booking.
How it Works
Once you have booked your escape room time, you will receive an email with information. There will be a code that allows you entrance into the boxcar escape room. Once you enter, a short video explanation of what you are trying to accomplish will begin. It was extra fun because the video had our name in it! So make sure to choose a fun team name when you sign up.
Orion V
Since Tempus Escapes is a new business, this is their first escape room. The Orion V escape room is designed to look like a space ship, and much like other escape rooms, you have to wander around and try to figure out which puzzle to begin with. We loved the fun spaceship atmosphere. There were some unique puzzles. We especially liked getting to shoot asteroids like a video game. This kept our boys happy for awhile. 😂
You do have to work in a slight order. Even when we figured out certain puzzles, we couldn’t move on until we had solved others. So make sure to work together to get all of the puzzles solved. We don’t want to give anything away, but there might be two rooms inside this one escape room!
Things to Know
- Arrive a few minutes before your start time so that you can use your code to get in on time.
- Make sure to watch the video that is sent in your confirmation before arriving. It gives you some really important info!
- Parking is in the lot right next door. During the work hours, avoid all reserved spots. On Saturday, park anywhere.
- Tempus Escapes will price match. You just have to call them if you find a better deal, but their room is the most affordable that we have seen, especially if you use our code “utahsadventurefam” to save an extra 15%.
- You can go grab ice cream at Rockwell Ice Cream or a full meal at The Social when you are done.
