The rooms are way different than any other escape room. And better in everyway! The rooms are very interactive and you can work on as many or few puzzles at one time. The staff are awesome, welcoming, and very nice!

This is BY FAR the most hands-on escape room and has had the most interactive environment I've been in thus far. Rooms are huge and even bigger ones to come soon to open. All rooms are hand built and the facility is family owned, which makes the experience a ton more personable. Hoping this kind family gets a ton more visitors because the games are 110% worth it. If you want to be challenged, and experience an escape room that is more than a step-by-step puzzle, book today.

We I visited here back in July it was fantastic! One of the best rooms I've ever done! Not to mention the owners were helpful to any questions we had before the event. I'll definitely be back! As well as recommended this room to all those who are interested in a fun time!

By far the BEST escape room in San Diego. This is not the traditional escape room where you have to solve "Puzzle A" to open "Box A." You can have several people solve several puzzles in any order. Enough space to fit 8 people and have a lot of fun!

Overall, our experience was amazing. First, it's a family owned business with daughter and father. Our host was the daughter and she was amazing and helped us along the way, being an amazing cluemaster and host. We did Tut's Rut. The escape room was really immersive, with a tunnel to crawl through and amazing Egyptian looking artifacts, puzzles that were very innovative and I've certainly never seen before. It's all really advanced too, with electronics and sensors being integrated into it, and an amazing tomb that you get trapped in. I will definitely be trying this again, maybe the Clownatorium

My family and I have done several escape rooms in the Sam Diego area and this is was by far the best. We did Tuts rut and we were all very impressed. The quality of the rooms were amazing and the overall experience was very immersive. It took all 6 of us working simultaneously to get out. Definitely recommend checking them out! I know that we will be back to check out their other rooms and any future rooms they may do.

Did this room with my friends a week ago and it was incredible! It's a family owned business and the father and daughter who run it are so friendly and funny! We did the Clownatorium and we had a blast! The time and effort they put into the design and clues was by far the best I have seen and the clown was so funny the whole time - making jokes and having fun with us. Highly recommend this room! We'll be back to try another room for sure!
