I've been to Solvang a couple of times already, but never done the escape room. Decided this time…read morearound I will do it! I booked the experience online and it was fast and simple! I booked The Mischievous Nisse escape room and I loved every single second of it. It's a Christmas themed room, we were told that it was the beginner room (level easy) but it was far from easy. We were also told that this room had the most clues and tasks to do. We completed the room with 2 seconds to spare! LOVED, AMAZING, FUN!!!! Will definitely go back to try the harder rooms

The room was well-maintained and highly enjoyable to explore. The games master was very friendly and personable, and seemed to genuinely enjoy working there. Oh, and it's dog-friendly!

The three of us had the best time! The staff there were all amazing and chatted with us between matches and were excellent in answering all questions we had. The area we played in was good size with lots of cover, but enough open area to make you question if you want to make the dive to the next cover... We rented our gear, which came with all we needed to have a good time. I highly recommend this place to any and all who are interested in flinging some paint. Beginners and more advanced players are all welcome, and even though we all get mishmashed together, it drives you to figure out a way to spray paint at the guy who took you out the last 15 rounds lol. Do yourself a favor and go see these guys, they are great. And it's a lot more fun the. Playing guns as a kid, as there is no argument over if your target got shot or not!

It was kind of like a combination escape room, scavenger hunt, and stroll up and down the Santa Barbara wharf. We did it in a group of two, which was totally doable, but I bet it would also be fun in bigger groups where you split up and compete against each other. Also super affordable. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to spent an afternoon solving puzzles together in a beautiful part of town.

You guys are truly AWESOME ! Cheers !

By the end of the night I did feel like we were all friends! John was so informative and entertaining. I wish our visit was longer so we could have done the ghost tour with him as well. We will definitely do that next time! The wines were fantastic but honestly my favorite stop might have been the tiki bar! And I loved ending the night with champagne and karaoke!! An absolute blast!

My husband and I had the…read moreopportunity to create some stained glass air plant terrariums with Lisa's guidance, while my Mother-in-Law made a fused glass bowl. We learned how to cut pieces of glass and add copper tape that we would then solder together into these amazing and functional art pieces. MIL was working on composing her own design using different layers of colored glass that would later be fired and shaped. I'm so impressed with the outcome and how cool her new studio space was. She had all the materials provided to us and made sure we were each getting enough of her time, since she was dividing her attention between three people! Lisa was really cool and made us feel like we were old friends. We enjoyed her company and were grateful she could lend her artistic eye so that our pieces would be visually appealing. I'm so glad we tried this out and I plan on coming back again to try another project. The photos of our new terrariums don't do them justice. Lisa even provided the air plants! Thank you, Lisa and Violet, for introducing us to glass arts and sharing your night with our family. Until next time!

They had plenty of helpers setting up- so I literally didn't have to do a thing to help. This was very enjoyable for me, having one less thing to worry about for the party. The owner was very friendly, and he had some younger fellas stay for the event itself after set up was complete. They played with the kids the entire time slot we rented, which was also such a luxury for me. They were borderline babysitters with all the young kids running around with them. It was such a stress reliever because it's so hard to entertain guests AND keep and eye on all the kids at the same time. If you're a tired mom I recommend this service- the kids loved it, for what I paid and what service we got it was worth it, I didn't have to do a thing for it, and it came with a couple "babysitters". Can't beat that. The kids loved it.
