My family and I have done over 70 escape rooms and Ocean State ranks up there with one of the best rooms we have ever done. We did The Mummy and really enjoyed everything about the room. There were original puzzles, great tech and it was very immersive. I would highly recommend Ocean State. Also, the customer service was outstanding.

Had our first visit this weekend and we loved it! Just hard enough to be so fun, but not so hard to be frustrating. Nonnas house was so well put together, each thing connecting so well together. We can't wait to go back to try the other rooms!
