Staff was super nice and they even gave us a couple of extra minutes to get out of the room which really made the group's day as we were successfully (ish) able to escape. Thank you for a great experience!

My group of 4 completed 35th & Archer in time plus 2 of the 4 bonus puzzles. The concept of having a unifying storyline for every room is so unique, the story actually makes sense, AND puzzles were challenging! We are all experienced Escape Roomers and this room was a blast. Between us we have done rooms all across America, plus Barcelona and Prague. Cool design for both concept and style. If you love a challenge, check this out!!

The owner, Mark, used to build sets and do film work in L.A. He brought his experience back with him to make some really cool escape rooms! If you can, book the last escape room of the day so you can talk more with him! We did the Silver Lining room. The team did an amazing job capturing the journalist turned conspiracy theorist's descent into madness. The room was both disorganized and barren, and there was an uneasiness in the air as you realized he was a hunted man, yet not taken seriously by others for his "crazy" ideas. As we got closer to the time, the door was banged on, causing a spike

Did the lions den room here today. My family is fairly new to escape rooms but very puzzle minded. We've done 5 or 6 prior to this and have found them to be quite easy. We usually finish in 30-35 minutes. This room was one of the best we have done so far and there were enough puzzles to keep us entertained and going for the full hour. We definitely went a little over 60 minutes on our escape but the gamemaster let us run a little overtime to finish up. I'm not local to Charlottesville but I do plan to come back here next year and try their other rooms. Thank you for the great time immersion escape

Im posting this a little late! Me and my bf went to all 3 rooms (not the intro 30 min room). We have done escape rooms all over. First, I want to say that sometimes the best parts of ERs are having an owner (not a franchise or national company) that really cares about the game and is passionate about the puzzles and story line. Thats what you get when you come here. We have done escape rooms all over and here is our run down:
1. We were able to escape all 3. These are do able by 2 people if you are an experienced ER couple. We think the game master gave just the right nudges without giving
