I think some can be boring. There is one near our house with 3 or 4 rooms. I took my family to it and we did two of the rooms. I've been to some escape rooms with work as well. The one near my house that I took my family to was my favorite, and had a room that was genuinely enjoyable and exciting.

That room was actually 3 rooms as part of the escape. It was built around the idea of a zombie apocalypse. You enter a room, #1, and the lights are off, and you are trying to get into a bunker. Once you get in to the bunker, room #2, you have to find your way out of that room before a toxic gas is released. We had to use a ladder to get to a "vent" to climb through (and shut off lasers in the vent) to room #3, the final room, a science lab.

The quality of the build was very high, and was pretty fun, as it was very much like a movie scenario.
