Solve complex puzzles, uncover hidden clues, and work together to execute a daring escape before time runs out. The room features authentic cellblock design, mechanical locks, and immersive audio-visual effects that heighten tension throughout the 60-minute challenge. Ideal for groups seeking intense problem-solving experiences with physical and mental components.

These escape rooms are VERY creative and fun. You can tell a lot of thought went into the puzzles to give you a wonderful variety. You have to stretch your brain muscles and everyone can participate. It's helpful to get different perspectives on how to solve them. Highly recommend and we will be back!

I love their escape rooms! I've done the eye of horus and the prison themed one and they were both so much fun! I felt like they were challenging enough to be fun but not too hard that they it would be impossible to get. The rooms look awesome too. I highly recommend this place for escape rooms!

Have done 3 of the rooms here and they were all awesome. Multiple rooms, elaborate and well thought out puzzles. Absolutely cannot wait them to build the next one. Only con I would say is there's one puzzle in the Horus room that is cool in theory, but ends up being a little too confusing and dampens the excitement of the room up to that point.

I have done escape rooms in multiple states across the USA from California, to Kansas, to Michigan. Erebus was the most elaborate, fun, intense, and thrilling escape yet!! As a crime junky, I got my group of friends to do Body of Evidence (murder mystery). We got pretty far without any help, but we definitely felt the clock ticking! The rooms had such fun riddles, and codes, and all sorts of hands-on experiences that no other escape room that I've experienced offers. Come to find out, after solving with only 2 minutes left on the clock, my group solved their most difficult room (as voted by customers

Our family's first escape room for my son's 7th bday and it was great! Dragons Curse keep us engaged and had the boys thinking; showed them what it meant to work as a team. My kids were 11, 8 and 7 along with mom and dad and it was a success. I would recommend

There were a lot of broken things in the room that would not permit you to goto the next step, doors opened before you completed puzzles, as the clue person would state your doing something wrong and not realizing you already received the pieces to the ending of that puzzle. Some of the clues were misleading and incorrect. At the end another person (worker) gave answers that were opposite of the clue givers instructions. On things we did not get, but didn't matter because the door opened without the answer anyways. I'd sped my money elsewhere. I have done a lot of escape rooms. They only get 2

The host was nice. The room was half broken and missing key clue elements. The puzzles relied more on guessing then logic. The other staff member was very rude and just all around unpleasant. It's definitely a hard pass. Will try again maybe in the future once they have gotten it more together.
Update: Someone names Zack offered to comp our group another hour in a room of our choice. I was going to take him up on the offer. I ended up getting invited to go with some friends because someone bailed on them and it was already paid for. So I went. Same horrible experience. Half of the clues were
