There was only one worker there, he has glasses and reddish brown hair. He has a serious anger problem. One of the gadgets fell off the wall (it was super glued) and he slammed it on the table and and yelled goddammit and then there was a broken binder with hints in there and we took them out to read because the binder wouldnt allow us to flip through them and he barged in and said youre not supposed to take these out of order! And snatched them out of my hand While I was reading. Very condescending when we asked for hints. I dont know who this dude was but he needs help.

We have tried all the rooms with the exception of one (which we will be doing soon). We continue to come back to Mission X Escape rooms because we have really enjoyed the rooms. I would highly recommend the Hurricane room....awesome! Give this place a try, you won't be disappointed.

I have done A BUNCH of escape rooms and now I am doing them with the kids!! Candy land was a great adventure with the kids! The only thing I recommend is figuring out how to keep the doors between rooms open after unlocking. We were stuck in the third room due to one of the kids closing the door. Thankfully my mom had her Apple Watch and was able to call the front desk and have them open it. Not only did this take time away from our experience BUT it is also a FIRE HAZARD! We were waving our arms to the camera and nothing. If there were an emergency or a person in need of help there was no way
