Truly, what a gem. I'm an escape room geek. I absolutely love a good escape room and it's accurate to say that they always range in levels of quality. The Lodge is among some of the best I've ever done. I don't want to spoil anything, but they go beyond a normal escape room as the whole place is an immersive experience. Their food and drinks are worthy of dining in before doing a room. Absolutely go. I have gone here for my past two birthdays and I will eventually do all of their rooms.

Our small but mighty group of 3 people thoroughly enjoyed the Arcane Library! It was each person's first experience and we felt right at home. The building and staff are equally charming. It was a lovely way to celebrate two birthdays in one fantastic evening. We will definitely go back many times. After chatting with staff, we'll plan a full afternoon to enjoy the Initiation next. The drink and food menus are delicious. The ambiance is inviting. Give yourself a few hours to truly explore the whole experience. Visit the hallway and the upstairs, in addition to your reservation/room time. Hang out in Hourglass Cafe and borrow a board game. There's something for everyone, and don't be shy to describe your group and ask for recommendations. They've got fun mastered.

Amazing! Immersive, puzzle-solving experience in a space that fully commits, with clues and artifacts lining the hallways and surprises to see, even in the bathroom. Delicious food and fun drinks too.

Best escape room! Knowledgeable staff, very fun puzzles, and a good way to build teamwork. It's super cool that the whole building is set up, not just the room you are in. Not at all busy on a Wednesday night!

Our group of four—two seasoned escape room veterans and two enthusiastic newcomers—had an incredible Saturday afternoon in the Arcane Library. The experience was fantastical and deeply immersive, with a rich aesthetic that transported us into a mysterious, otherworldly realm. The instructions were moderately easy to follow, which made getting started smooth for everyone, and the puzzles were highly intuitive, offering a satisfying challenge that kept both beginners and experts engaged. We also appreciated the fair prices on drinks, which added a nice touch to the overall outing. This escape room struck the perfect balance between intrigue and accessibility, making it a must-visit for any group with mixed experience levels.
