Awesome! We went for a birthday party for a 10-year old and it was tons of fun. We did the Christmas escape room and the also the superhero one. Both were great although the superhero one was a little more advanced. Definitely recommend. Five stars!!

We have done all of the rooms in this escape room. This company has, hands down, the best escape rooms we have ever done. My husband and I do a lot of escape rooms, though I wouldn't say we are escape room experts or fanatics. But we know our way around the rooms, and we know a good puzzle vs. a bad puzzle and what it takes to make a good room. This company does an excellent job. The rooms are always super cool, the puzzles are creative but not too difficult and not too easy. If you're looking for family fun or a quick hour with a group of friends before heading off to eat at William

This is by far my favorite escape room in the DC area. I've done a number of rooms and this room surpassed them all. I enjoyed the way they offered hints and nudges, but also the puzzles seems to be just right and interactive enough to keep the players on their toes and involved. We tried the seasonal room, and really enjoyed it. There were 3 of us and there was no point where we felt unable to complete the task or figure out the puzzles.

My fianc and I visited while we were on a weekend trip to DC. We decided to try Poe's Chamber which is the most challenging room they offer with a difficulty rating of 8/10. Between the two of us we've done around 50 escape rooms and my fianc is in the industry. We are huge fans of escape rooms and have visited many locations around the country. We found this escape room company to excel in many, many ways which earned them a 5 star rating from us! First of all, the whole interior (inside the escape room but also as soon as you walk in the entrance) is beautiful. I want to sip cocktails
