Chad made us feel very welcome, explained the room clearly, and, when we asked for hints, gave us just enough to get us back on track without giving too much away. Also, the room we did had one of the coolest surprise features Ive ever seen in any escape room. This was not our first visit to Bear Towne, and it wont be our last!

We did the Christmas themed escape room. DO NOT DO WITH LITTLE KIDS. Our party was comprised of adults and teens with escape room experience. The room was fun, some of the clues were challenging, but most were average. We were able to escape in time. Everyone had fun.

We decided to do the "Deadly Dieagnosis" room. I admit this was more challenging than I thought it would be going in, but we had a blast! I highly recommend doing this, it was well thought out and the staff was great. Lexi was our host and we enjoyed her enthusiasm. Can't wait to go back and try another room.

Very fun, but I would have appreciated more of a well fleshed out story behind the game like the Cracked escape room in Jacksonville. Also the room required using flashlights which was an additional challenge I didn't really enjoy. Overall was enjoyable, but I prefer the ambience of the Cracked experience more.

We have gone twice and have really enjoyed the escape rooms. They have great puzzles and give hints if needed. Really had a great experience. Looking forward to the opening of their new room they are working on.
