We went with 6 family members (including a 9 yr old) on Christmas Day. We did "Lock-up" and made it out with 5 mins to spare. It was so much fun and Kim was very nice & friendly! I definitely would recommend. It's clean and there is hand sanitizer in plenty of places. She also said that she doesn't combine groups because of COVID so folks don't have to be concerned about that.

The lady was super nice, My family had A-blast we did escape with 20 seconds left. If you need several clues she makes a fun twist which was unique. It is well worth the money I would recommend to anyone.

I never thought I would ask to be locked in a room with my kids ... However this was amazing to watch them work together through puzzles of codes and clues.

Great experience, friendly staff and very clean environment. Room was fun, engaging and thought provoking. We made it out, but it was challenging. Will return again.

Absolutely love this place! My friends and I had a blast and managed to escape the room on time. The rooms are clean and disinfected. I have recommended it to family and friends. We all plan to go back and try another room! 10/10

Had a lot of fun! Employees were amazing and friendly, clues were hard and fun, and everything was clean and orderly. The neighborhood is a little run down but the business itself is feels very safe and clean. Definitely would recommend it!
