Pleased with this gem of an experience ~ I barely knew this place existed before being treated to a room, and I was pleasantly surprised by how excellent our low-tech Dr. Jekyll, Mr. Hyde room was put together. Great build in the space, well-suited for 2 people ("beginner" rooms will naturally be more difficult for fewer players, but this one felt comfortably challenging). In some ways it was clear that this is a new venture, but that shouldn't keep you from trying it out!

It was so much fun and challenging! We did a room that was Alice in Wonderland and it was so cute. We made it out with only 4 minutes to spare. I am terrible at puzzles but had a great time with family and they give you hints if you get stuck.

We did the Mad Tea Party escape room. My grandkids enjoyed figuring out the puzzles. We couldn't solve everything in an hour, but we had a great time trying. We'll definitely be back next summer to try another escape room!

We ADORE Escape Old Towne. Every room is a unique and fantastic experience and the staff are beyond welcoming and attentive. They explain the rooms as well as the rules and go out of their way to make you comfortable. The clues they give are helpful and funny. If you want fun with friends that challenge your brain, choose Escape Old Towne.

My wife and I had a blast. We tried the area 51 room and loved it. We did not escape but had so much fun. We will definitely be going back.

So much fun! We did the Jekyll and Hyde room. The clues were intuitive and not overly complex. Everything was well thought out and very thematic. Can't wait to try the other rooms!

I did a team building event with my coworkers (game masters from our escape room in Richmond) this evening. We chose the 80's prom room and it was AMAZING. I will start from when I walked into the SUPER COOL lobby. Great places for photo ops with your friends. The lady(whose name I don't remember and am so sorry) who owns it and her team member greeted me right away and we're INCREDIBLY pleasant and nice to chat with. The lobby has very comfortable couches where I played with locks during my wait for my coworkers to arrive. The ladies at the desk told me about their mobile escape room launch which
