Escape room center offering real-life video game challenges with paint or foam blasts, a bar, and food.
"The main draw of Beat The Bomb (an escape room on steroids) is not the food. But there isn’t another place in the A where we can devour a dog while watching unlucky people get blasted with giant paint cannons. And the dogs here are credible, particularly the Seoul with spicy kimchi or the Texas Dawg that comes topped with Fritos, queso, and jalapeños. Plus, our vegetarian friends can make it a Beyond Meat sausage for no extra charge. After you beat your hunger, throw on a hazmat suit and take on the paint bomb. " - juli horsford, demarco williams
"Beat the Bomb on the Upper Westside is like an escape room on steroids. You'll feel like you’re preparing to enter some type of restricted toxic chemical spill area as you don hazmat suits and face shields. Make your way through a series of rooms, each with their own interactive puzzle to solve or obstacles like whirring lasers (cue the Mission Impossible theme song). Because the stifling suits can make bathroom trips a little more cumbersome, we recommend doing the bulk of your drinking after your session—try the refreshing rum-based Blue Hawaiian slushie. The food isn’t the main draw here, but the hot dogs are beyond credible—enough to make our Best Hot Dogs guide. We particularly enjoy the Seoul with spicy kimchi or the Texas Dawg that comes topped with Fritos, queso, and jalapeños. " - nina reeder, juli horsford, demarco williams
