My girlfriend and our friend John went to The Lost Queen. We had never been to an escape room before. It was a blast. I didn't really contribute much but did wear a glove I found in a bag the entire time. Spoiler alert it had no use. Cheylan was our gamemaster. She was fantastic. Can't wait to return Thank you!!!!

We visit the game room Queen with Jake as our game master. He was an excellent game master and was very friendly and knowledgeable. I have been to several escape rooms and this one was extremely fun especially with the added role play and secondary goals than just escaping. This is the first room I have experienced with additional goal and thought it was a superb idea. Alot if fun and props were great. Definitely will do more of these rooms and planing to do it soon.

We did the Lost Queen and it was great. They have an option to choose to be a "character" with your own goal. Do that option! You won't regret it. We had 6 people from ages 10-53 and everyone enjoyed it and want to go back and try the other rooms. Everything worked in the room which was great.
