WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Was an amazing reunion for the entire family - we rented both rooms and had 24 players. We ended with an an amazing pizza party in the party room. The owner is incredibly helpful and attentive!
I've been to over 10 escape rooms. This was by far the most enjoyable, and also the most engaging. The technology was top rate, the puzzles were intriguing, yet enjoyable, and overall, the atmosphere was meaningful. It sure beats escaping gruesome doctors, murderers, kidnapers, etc. Manager was wonderful and gracious. Highly recommended!
