💡Pro Tips from Reviews
- →Don't hesitate to ask your game master for hints; they are helpful and check in frequently.
- →Specifically inquire about room features (e.g., slides, dark areas, physical obstacles) before booking, especially if you have mobility concerns or young children.
- →If booking the 'Houdini Room', be prepared for very low lighting and potentially confusing puzzle flow, and exercise extreme caution with the slide.
Things to Consider
- ⚠The 'Houdini Room' has a significant safety hazard: an undisclosed slide leading to a hard concrete floor landing, with insufficient padding (pillows do not help). This resulted in injury for a 52-year-old participant.
- ⚠Lighting in the 'Houdini Room' is described as 'way too dark', making it difficult to see even for individuals with 20/20 vision, impacting both puzzle-solving and safety.
- ⚠Puzzle order and progression in the 'Houdini Room' can be confusing, with instances of opening locks 'out of order' or being able to bypass multiple locked boxes, leading to a frustrating experience.

8 months agoOur Theatre Council absolutely loved our moderator, Tipsy! The room was eventful, interactive, creative, and so much fun! Plus - a bit of a challenge in the best way. We will definitely book with this company again!

a week agoMax was a great help! He helped when needed but not to much that it was boring. Give my man max a raise he never broke character and was fantastic! It is clear he loves his job!

a month agoThis was our first time doing an escape room and man it was fun, very challenging, but really fun. Kali was great and very helpful, always checking in to make sure if we needed hints or something. Definitely ask for hints, don't be afraid to do that. I'd come back and bring a group of friends
Dustin Martin
a week agoGreat time at the escape room! Had a lot of fun, the puzzles are challenging and exciting. Hidden walls and doors! Lizzy was an excellent guide, she made it fun and the experience came to life!

a month agoWe did the Houdini Room and it was not good. First of all, my mom is 52 and there is a slide and it was so dark you couldnt really see the landing and she was the first to go down and went down thinking she would land on a soft landing and landed very hard on the concrete floor on her bottom. I recommend disclosing there is a slide and adding a gymnastic pad because the pillows do not help the landing. Next it was way too dark. I am 30 and have 20/20 vision and I had a hard time seeing. I get you are setting the ambiance but you can still do this with better lighting. Also, the order of the puzzles was hard to follow. For example, we opened a lock box then were told we opened it out of order. And then we were able to bypass 3 locked boxes which is even more confusing. All in all it was a very disappointing experience and I am sad that this was my family’s introduction to escape rooms.
