We loved this place! Perfect extension to Escape Chandler! We can totally see why they're award winning. Last weekend we did the Speakeasy and Houdini back to back.

Good thing we came in to save her dreams! Our game master Daniel was awesome and also enthusiastic. I have to say, having a game master who truly enjoys the rooms goes a *long* way! Kudos to the owners for finding employees who seem to love

But since we were jonesing for a room, we decided to go for it. From the first point of contact, via FB messenger, their customer service was spot on. The owner (I'm so sorry I don't remember her name
