Enjoyed this very much. All 5 of us ranging in ages 26, 27, 30, 58 and 60. We did the Untouchables room and it wasnt easy but since they gave clues when asked we were able to finish in about 56 minutes. Brandon was so nice! Good fun! Location is a little tricky to find so could use some signage. Although set us up for the mystery!

We enjoyed our time here. We do many escape rooms and appreciated the friendly staff and good puzzles in The Untouchables game. We look forward to returning for the other games as well.

Exit Strategy was an absolutely delightful experience. The two rooms this establishment at the moment (Through the Looking Glass and The Untouchable) were amazing. The concept were very simple but complex ideas. These rooms are ideal for all ages, groups and people. The staff was amazing and very encouraging throughout the entire process.

Really well put together puzzles. The rooms are not big but they are super fun. Game flow is fast pace but logical. Once you get the first riddle you can get going nicely. We tried both rooms and had a blast. Definitely gonna come back when they open the 3rd.

Our group of four had a fantastic time. Nice change of pace for date night. Very cleverly put together. I wish they would change the room up so we could go again. Cant wait for the alice in wonderland room! Definitely would recommend!
