The staff is super friendly and helpful but the rooms themselves fell a little flat for us. The clues are sequential so your group pretty much has to work on one clue at a time. It got a little boring for a large group so I would recommend smaller groups. The effects were cool but the clues/puzzles werent great.

I really enjoyed the escape room! I went with two of my friends and I loved it. Our gamemaster was Aubree. It was perfect for beginners. I would DEFINITELY recommend this for any group fun activities!

We've never done an escape room, and frankly, I don't like being panicked or scared. This was AWESOME! We had a blast! We were fully prepared - no locked doors; no one jumping out, and super challenging puzzles. We received clues as they knew we needed direction. We will definitely return! We're hooked now...#WeSolvedIt

My daughter and I did the toys in the attic room and it was so fun! We wanted a kinda of scary one which this one has some great jump scares but nothing bad, very fun type scare. Very spooky with great riddles and unlimited hints! We got stuck a few times but it just made it more fun! We needed more time so they will let you figure it out if there are is no one waiting for the room right after you. You really get into the moment of trying to figure out the clues, great for families, even small kids! You really work together trying to figure it out. Good brain and body workout too we want

It was out daughters birthday request. 5 teenagers and their mom and I. All have never been to a panic room before.we did it with 11 minutes to spare. Our host Ms Avery was awesome & sweet and very polite explaining everything she could within reason not to give the clues away.
Avery was awesome!! Great experience!
