"Ravenchase always has good games, but their Shadow of Cthulhu room was especially excellent and everything I wanted out of a Lovecraftian story. Sarah is an awesome GM who set the tone and was appropriately helpful along the way. 10/10. 🦑"

"Our whole group had an absolute BLAST here today. We enjoyed the different levels of the room and were excited to ESCAPE! We did the Algernon's Shop of Magical Goods Room and It was incredible. We had a fun & engaging game guide who respected our wishes to not be interrupted with “nudges” or clues, and we just had a blast. Great variety of puzzles that really play to strengths of the whole team. We will definitely be back!!"
