Owner was so helpful and the mafia escape room was the best. We did escape with 15 seconds left but we had to be given a few clues. This is the best escape room we have even gone through. So creative. Amazing.

Excellent rooms! The puzzles in both Casino Heist and Kingdom of Night rooms were very tactile and made logical sense. It was easy to become immersed in the theme of each room. I love that they dont place you with other people and the room is still a good price. My husband and I like to do escape rooms without any other people and most companies make you buy all (usually 8) spots to do this, but not this one! I loved that both rooms were back to the basics of escape rooms where it was all about solving the puzzles and moving to the next step without any unnecessary technology. I also truly appreciated

My family and I played the Casino heist. The overall experience was lacking thrill. You couldn't work on multiple clues at one time. There was a lot of standing around and waiting while one person tried to get the puzzle. One part of the game was saturated with clues and the rest were spread out. There is a general 'worn' feeling overall. One of the clues is a puzzle and the pieces are missing the male parts, they've just been ripped off over time, some 'colors' are worn down and you can't tell what color they are. It was fun, my 10 and 12 year olds enjoyed it when they were able to participate

Very friendly atmosphere. Clear that the whole point is to have fun, and loved that the woman who helped us with the puzzle seemed to be very happy we finished! If you're looking for a fun-for-all, clever, yet sufficiently difficult puzzle, this is the place for you! I highly suggest coming here with friends or family.

My family and I had a great time! It was very classic and fun. I would recommend this place if you have kids or teenagers because there was a little something for everyone.
