We celebrated a late Christmas for our group of 6 with the Board to Death Holiday edition. We had a fabulous time with 5 escape room veterans and one newbie! This room was very creative and offered enough of a challenge for everyone! We loved all of the different pieces that made this complete puzzle to find out The Who, the where and the how! Katie knocked this one out of the park! Great design!

The holiday-themed Board Game room was fantastic! We’ve done 50+ escape rooms before and this is one of our favorites ever—puzzles were challenging but not impossible, solutions all made sense, the room flowed logically, the theme was unique, the host (and room designer) was funny and helpful. We loved it!

We did Escape the 90s with a group of four and it was lots of fun! Very cool interior with a puzzle in the lobby and fun set design throughout. Truly feels like a labor of love. Puzzles are challenging and one of them actually blew our minds that they were able to turn an element of the room into a clue using some cool raspberry pi magic. Loved the humor, the level of challenge was perfect and overall the place had soul. I love that you win achievement points and can rack them up as you do more rooms. We're excited to come back!

Very disappointing experience. We were a team of 2, doing the Board to Death room. It was waaaaaay too complicated and very difficult to see anyone completing it in 60 minutes. For a fairly expensive experience, you want to walk out feeling successful. I’ve gone to many escape rooms- it was my friend’s first time-and I’ve never been disappointed. AFTER failing the room, we were told this was their hardest one. Not a great first or repeat experience. Things we didn’t like: unclear sequencing, a lot of locks, very unclear clues, and the setting wasnt as nice as other rooms I’ve been to. If you’re really good at these rooms, you may like it but overall we were disappointed and frustrated.

We had a great time doing this escape room. It wasn’t so hard we couldn’t get it nor too hard that we solved everything too quickly. The staff were very nice. The escape room looked fantastic and the puzzles were awesome! Great experience overall. Very good addition to the neighborhood
