There's not a lot to do that isn't a bar in... Western Oregon honestly, and Conundrum House is solving it. For insanely reasonable prices (that lower even further with membership) you can rent table space for RPGs, gaming time on video games, attend costume events, themed tea parties (with incredible gnosh), enjoy interactive murder mysteries and far more than I'm going to take time to list here. All in a beautiful building full of art and whimsy run by incredible, enthusiastic people. They support local artists, writers, game creators and creatives of all sorts in a way you don't often see in this area. So comfortable it's a bit like going home, and every inch of it was made with the intent to build fun artistic and creative community upward. The owners are amiable, chatty, and proud of what they've accomplished, and they should be. Need something to do outside of the same old drudgery? Get here! Check it out, inquire within, look them up, they deserve the community's support. They opened six months before Covid and managed to survive it, if that doesn't scream worthy business, I don't know what does. It's nested on the second floor so pay attention to the sandwich board on the sidewalk, it's totally worth a short trip up the stairs. I recommend checking this out heavily. Perhaps the most check-outtable place I've ever reviewed. We will definitely return.

We are always excited to check out games we haven't tried before and love taking friends with us when we go. We've purchased puzzles and even robots for family gifts. They have single to multi-player available. Their LARP games can play several people to hundreds! When we're in the gameroom it's very convenient that they have snacks, hot and cold beverages ready. They are also so involved in the community. They offer weekly puzzles in the local newspaper, they participate in Buy Local First Corvallis annually and are engaged with the arts and business community downtown and beyond. Check them out today!

You follow the signs to the second floor. There is a door and a check in area. The door lead to the control room. We waited outside until someone showed up. We signed a waiver they we waited down a hall to the escape room. There are two types of room available. The Spy's Safe house and the Dialed in. The spy's safe house is the easier of the two. According to the website, the safe house has a 84% success rate and the dialed in has a 33% success rate. Both rooms have the same rate, which is $25.00 a person. My friend booked the Dialed in room. I have never done a escape room so I cant really compare it to others. We were unable to complete the room within the time frame. It was still fun and I would like to do it again. However there are things they could work on. First is the room gets hot and I don't believe there is AC. The man running the room, told us to prop open the door if we got to warm. There is a fan blowing but you get 6 adults breathing heavy and it gets HOT. We were given directions on how to start but it was kind of like running around with your head chopped off. That might be the norm for escape rooms but I can understand why they have a low success rate. It seemed like the clues didn't follow a path to success. I know that's vague but I'm not going to give away anything and ruin your experience. If you miss one step you are doomed to fail. They do change the rooms up so its not always going to be the same. Right now they are doing a promo for the 'eclipse-themed' room. Which will run until August. You get a free pair of eclipse viewing glasses after your done. Its part of the normal rooms. After you are done, you can take a picture holding a funny sign saying you escaped or you failed. They uses the picture on there Facebook page. In closing they need to make it easier to find and make it easier to check in. Cool down the rooms.

Krocbuster was a challenge! We definitely needed all our clues and hints and the host was helpful for those. It's a small room and was hard to divide and conquer. The whole group was always kind of focused on one thing and that held us up. With all the help we got, we were JUST shy of "escaping." We could have done it with two extra minutes.

I haven't visited the distillery/retail space, so can't speak to its interior or characteristics,…read morehowever I happened upon their booth at the Portland King Farmer's Market, and what a surprising gem I discovered! Visiting from Utah (we have kooky liquor laws here), it was a complete novelty to find someone selling alcohol at a farmer's market. We did the thing where we were standing some distance away, discussing if we should check it out, maybe it would be better to hit it as we left...and the gentleman manning the booth motioned us over, saying he had a hot toddy for us to taste. He was so charmingly friendly, we could hardly refuse, and I'm always open to trying a bit of anything. Friends, that hot toddy was perfection. I don't really drink, but I could totally imagine myself reclining by a fire, sipping a bit on an autumn or winter's night. My husband, who decidedly IS a drinker, loved it as well. Perfectly flavored, it tasted strongly of real apples, with a light sweetness that (dangerously?) hid the alcohol. It included both their apple brandy and apple liquor, and you can pick up a recipe at the booth (or just take a picture as I did, and have included below). I also tried a nip of the strawberry rhubarb apertif, which was very sweet (though not too much!), and brought to mind a superior version of port. I was into it. They also sell peppermint, ginger, and pomegranate liquors, along with a ryegrass whiskey. I believe all were available in either 375 or 750ml bottles, for around $20 and $30, respectively. The packaging is beautiful and high quality, and you can purchase their products at a few brick and mortar retailers, as well as online at liquorama.net, however you'd be doing yourself a disservice by not experiencing the hospitality of the company directly, either by visiting the farmers market, or even better (I imagine), their tasting room. Not wishing to be burdened by heavy bottles of liquor for our trip, I limited us to just one, and we opted for the apple brandy. I can't wait to use it for baking, and I know we'll be serving lucky guests hot toddies as the weather cools.
