Details

Located in Novi, Michigan, Five Senses Escape Rooms delivers an immersive puzzle adventure that goes beyond your typical locked-door challenge. The standout offering, Starship: Final Voyage, invites visitors into a sci-fi mission that tasks players with saving a failing spaceship. Unlike generic code-cracking rooms, every puzzle here marries narrative and mechanics, so you’re not just unlocking a box—you’re repairing systems that feel genuinely connected to the environment. The attention to detail in set design draws from a deep appreciation of science fiction, with authentic-looking controls, effects, and even easter eggs from popular movies and shows that enhance the feeling of being on an urgent space mission.

Five Senses stands out in the Midwest escape room scene because they focus on themed experiences that engage not only the intellect but also the imagination. Founded to provide a full sensory adventure, their rooms maintain a clean, friendly atmosphere with attentive staff who adjust hints to keep you challenged without frustration.

Their unique scoring system also lets teams compare their performance with others, adding a competitive edge.

Novi’s location makes Five Senses accessible to a broad audience, being just a short drive from Detroit’s metro area. It offers a creative indoor option when Michigan’s unpredictable weather limits outdoor activities like hiking or biking. For those wanting a mental workout paired with hands-on fun, this escape room experience provides a refreshing complement to the natural adventure options in the region. Whether you’re a sci-fi enthusiast or just seeking an engaging group challenge, Starship: Final Voyage delivers on both atmosphere and substance.
