Good to know before you go

- If your primary interest is the escape rooms, avoid going without confirming they are staffed and available.
- If first impressions regarding facility upkeep are critical, as exterior landscaping has been noted for debris.
- If you are on a strict budget for food and beverages, as items are 'way overpriced'.
- Wait staff attendance and service for table dining can be 'very irritable' and slow, with reported waits of 'thirty to forty minutes' for service.
- Crowds

They had fun and the employee really took great care of us in the party room. There's also an escape room and pool tables."

"Came here on a Saturday night. Busy, as expected. Wait time and over all entertainment experience were perfectly fine, but the wait staff attendance to customers is very irritable. At about 9:29, we’d tried navigating two online order kiosks and both said they had issues processing our order. We ask a staff member about it and are told to try ordering at a table instead.
