Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We are all waiting for Saturday-Sunday to have finally some rest and fun with the family. But where to go in HCMC if you live here many years already, had visited popular places already several times.
If you have children then it's can become even more challenging task to find place where to go.
So, for our Sunday fun we had selected "We Escape".
We made a call to book an escape room and it was a first challenge as reception did not speak good English and unable explain what & when available.
We did book escape room for 11:00am and then when we were mostly there we received a call from the reception who informed us that our booking changed to 11:30am.
Finally, we had 1 hr of fun and for sure we will comeback to play escape room again.
Lessens learned, reception does not speak good English, so be ready for the challenge too.

The operators and game master were very friendly. We played "Ocean's 8", the game rooms are very badly worn out (e.g. holes on floor and walls), and the decoration is extremely basic.
A panic button for security was provided. The walkmen to use in the game did not work properly, which was annoying. Additionally, the game was not properly reset, so that the game master had to enter the room repeatedly. Some puzzle ideas were interesting, other ones not very elegant (dubious logic, pre-knowledge required or too ambiguous). Once the door to the lounge was left open, which of course destroys the immersion.
Sadly, this is actually one of the better games in Saigon. Generally spoken, the quality standard of Asian games is very low compared to European and American escape games. Any provider with this level of decoration, game setup and material errors, puzzle design and game master rules would be out of business in less than a month in another continent.
Let's hope that things will improve soon - otherwise residents are stuck with this not very satisfying experience, which can still provide a bit of fun on a rainy day.

It's in Binh Thanh district, so a bit far from District 1 and downtown but only a bridge away from Thao Dien, District 2.
The website and booking system work well. The staffs are helpful in instructing the game rules. The price is really attractive, especially during weekdays with groups 4-8, with the play time up to 1 hour.
We tried the easiest one which is the popular Japanese Doraemon theme room, 3-star rating and still couldn't finish! The puzzles are quite smart and interesting, and they made 1 hour pass by so quickly.
Just the biggest problem which quite wasted time in my opinion is the NFC sensor. I mean the pieces are required to place perfectly with each other in order to unlock. You might find this hard to understand what I mean by now, but you'll get it after giving it a try.
In all, once you have a group of 4-8 intelligent friends and look for a brain challenging entertainment, you guys should give this a must go.
For us, we will definitely return and try out the higher levels.

We’ve visited numerous other escape rooms in the past...this one is just not good. The clues make little sense, the connections are vague at best. It’s really unfortunate. Luckily it’s very inexpensive so you don’t feel like you waste a lot of money.

We had booked the Nobita room at 10:30. 2 out of 5 members were late for 10 minutes, then they forced us to pay immediately, otherwise we would lost our playing time. This prevented the two late guys from playing. But after paying, they spent 5-10 minutes introducing the games (which was not necessary for us as we had played this games lots of times before). The hell here is that: Our 2 members came during the game instruction, which means we would have had all 5 members if they had introduced the game first and made payment later. We had only 50 minutes for this game.
Secondly, after we won the Prison Break room (we needed only 40 minutes), they said we could get another room for free. We scheduled to have that free room at 15:00. But then, when we came back, they said that this bonus only available during weekdays, not weekends. Damn it. They wasted us 3 hours just to say that f**king sentence! I would have a fly to Hanoi the day later, which means I have no way to play that free room.
Very very unhappy experience.

One of my biggest pet peeves about escape rooms is the "independently" run ones that have illogical clues or puzzles that don't make sense. I don't think you'll find that here at We Escape.
My husband and I tried the Master Thief room and the clues, codes, props, etc. were all just fine and enjoyable to solve. There was one point where we go very stuck as there was a laser beam we thought we couldn't pass, but other than that, we both left feeling like the experience was good and not frustrating.
The location is strange and far away from everything, and if you go at night, you have to enter the building by walking down into the parking garage. Thankfully some nice person who was walking by outside helped us out and we made it up to the escape room location. (Maybe getting to the room is a task in itself?)
All in all, recommended, and we'll likely go back to try another oom.

Extremely bad service. We made an online reservation 60 minutes ahead. When we showed up they claimed that they couldnt contact us and other walkins wanted that room so they gave it to them. We never reveived any email notification. Note to the owner: if you can't honor online reservation system then don't make them available.

By now you are probably familiar with the Escape Room type-gaming. The goal is to solve the mission (or escape the room) in 60 minutes.
Me and my friends tried the Japanese Doraemon room which was an amazing experience, I completely sold on the clues, codes, props, etc. Unfortunately, we could not finish. However, as I love exercising those mental muscles, I’m always up for the challenge.
In my opinion, what make this the original and ahead of its game was the idea, the diversity, the price but real star of these games though are the puzzles, they were intelligent, well-though out, and I think that We Escape has a solid batch.
Will return with excitement.

1. The address is very hard to find even when we try to call the hotline number (their English is very poor) , we take so long time then can reach the shop.
2. The game room haven't setup finish, some padlock open before we try to unlock it.
We spend whole day and get more angry and waste money. This is the worst place i went !!!
