What parents say
"This escape room was so much fun! It had rooms to unlock, the tricks were just the right level of difficulty and we left with a feeling of whimsy and accomplishment. Would definitely recommend! It was a little hard to find, so here are pictures of the building and where to go, because it’s worth the hunt. Go up the elevator of the building to the 5th floor, and you will be guided by your host."
