What’s the experience like?

You know that weird mix of nerves and excitement when you’re about to do something totally new? That’s how it felt stepping into The Escape Game at Sawgrass Mills in Sunrise. The mall was buzzing—kids with giant pretzels, someone laughing too loud near Cheesecake Factory—and then suddenly we were inside this quieter space, all neon signs and a whiff of marker pens (or maybe that was just me). Our guide, Jasmine, grinned like she already knew we’d get stuck somewhere. She handed us our mission—Timeliner: Train Through Time—and honestly, I thought I’d be the weak link.

Once the door clicked shut behind us, it got real. There’s a timer on the wall (big red numbers counting down) and a jumble of props—old suitcases, train tickets, some weird gears. We started tossing out wild guesses. My cousin tried to decode a clue with his phone flashlight until Jasmine’s voice came through the speaker: “No tech allowed!” She sounded amused. At one point we all just stood there staring at a locked box like it might open itself if we stared hard enough. It didn’t.

I didn’t expect to laugh so much—especially when my mom tried to crawl under a table searching for clues (she’s not exactly flexible). The puzzles were tough but not impossible; every time we solved one there was this little rush, like finding twenty bucks in your winter coat pocket. The best part? When we finally cracked the last code and the door swung open with two minutes left—I swear my heart was pounding louder than any mall music outside.

Afterwards Jasmine took our group photo (we looked sweaty but victorious), and I kept thinking about that moment when everything just clicked between us—not just solving puzzles but actually working together, which is rare these days. If you’re looking for something different around Sunrise or want an escape room day trip from Miami or Fort Lauderdale, this is worth it—even if you’re terrible at riddles like me.
