Okay! First off, make sure you make friends with Kira! She will become your bestie if you do the LIT room. Kira was seriously such an amazing host. Was very attentive and took care of us with making sure we were set going into our rooms. If we ever go back to the area we will make sure to go and beat the final room with our bestie! Thank you again for a wonderful experience :)

So good! We reserved a room for a buddy's bachelor party, and it was fantastic. We were in the room within minutes of arriving (the "Lit" party-themed room paying homage to local culture, being just down the street from ASU) and the employee was always a text away. After the first room we had such a great time that we had to do the second, which was even better! The employee running the rooms, Kira, was hospitable, engaging, and made our experience enjoyable and memorable. Highly recommend!

Kira was incredible! My groomsmen and I went escaped from the LIT room, took a few hour break, and came back to escape Inventor's Secret. We had a great time. Kira was very enthusiastic about our time together providing timely hints and overall a wonderful experience. If you go and meet her, call her Bestie. She loves being called Bestie. :)

This was an awesome escape room and such a fun thing to do in the middle of a hot summer staycation day. My 3 young adult kids and I worked on escaping from "Lit"... a funny and challenging escape game. Tom was a super escape room host who made this a first class place to go for fun.

This escape room was so cool! We did the one with the professor or something and we needed to figure out his longevity secret. Super fun! My husbands first escape room and he really enjoyed it. The puzzles were so good, a little complicated so the owner/front desk helped us out a lot and were keeping an eye on us so we weren't led astray or stuck for too long which I really appreciated. I loved how they delivered their messages too - very cool addition. And we were allowed to do it with just the two of us! Highly recommend.

We've been twice now. The first time we did The Inventor's Secret, and yesterday we did Lit. This place is great! The stories are well thought out and the puzzles and numerous and and challenging without feeling impossible. We did Lit with 4 people, one of whom is a young teenager. We finished with almost 15 to spare, but then we are a family of logic problem and puzzle enthusiasts. My only complaint is that there aren't more rooms!

The Lit room was LIT! This was a unique room with a theme we haven't encountered before. Puzzles were themed well and structured in a fun way. We definitely needed a few clues, but we escaped with plenty of time to spare! Always fun to do a party-themed room during COVID when you can't actually party like this. Brings back (good? bad?) memories. ;)
