We had an amazing time. The room was very tough for us...being 1st timers. The Host / 'Gamemaster' was friendly, inviting, and helpful when we hit some roadblocks. We will definitely be back for the other rooms in the future!

We had so much fun doing Mr. Jenkins basement, very well crafted room with lots of clues to solve. I would play it again with friends. Thanks to our game master for hosting. Go and book this room before its gone.

Great plot, well thought out and well-staged. It was certainly challenging - couldnt have done it without additional clues/help. Some clues were extremely tricky to solve and seemed impossible without asking for help. There were only two of us - so, perhaps a larger group wouldve figured these out. But we thoroughly enjoyed our time and highly recommend this. We will definitely be back for the other experiences!

We beat it with clues with about 6 minutes to spare. We had to dance to get another clue and that was hilarious. It was really fun honestly. Highly recommend for a group of friends.
