Great time escaping from the Elephant Shujaa room!! It was very realistic and definitely safari hot…read more in there! We especially liked the background music and props were very cool !! You have to be very observant and work in coordination with your team, otherwise you won't make it out in time! The owner was very friendly and the clues interesting! You must work as a team and systematically work through the clues. Fresh eyes are a must, so rotate through your team! You get three hints if needed. A portion of the proceeds go toward elephant preservation! All in all, it was a fantastic experience!! So. Ring your friends and coworkers!!!

I found this escape room which was close to upper Shirley vineyards and added this to our friend's…read morebirthday celebration! We're a bunch of escape room fanatics. :) We did the elephant shujaa room where the objective is to hunt down the poachers. You enter a tent to search for clues to hunt down the location of the poachers to capture them. I really did feel like I was in Africa with the heat (haha). Points for immersion :) We were provided with a walkie-talkie and 3 hints if needed. Sleuthing around the tent required being very observant, attention to detail and team work. The clues made sense and were not convoluted. I wouldn't recommend the max of 8 people. It can get tight in there. Maybe 2-5people. We had a good time despite the heat. We broke out with 11min and 29 seconds to spare with a group of 3. If you're in town, check this place out! I hail from VB so the next time I do come it will be if I'm in the area for other things.

Our family of four (two adults, a 14-year-old, and a 10-year-old) booked an Escape Room experience…read morehere and this was the first time for all us at this facility. Of the options we looked at in Richmond West End, this was the cheapest for our family of four. We booked the "Algernon's Shop of Magical Goods" experience which was rated a difficulty of 6 out of 10 on the last Friday of summer at 4 pm. We got there about 10 minutes before we were supposed to start and we saw an employee waiting outside. She said she brought the wrong set of keys to open the door so our experience would be delayed. Luckily, there was a Publix nearby with a shaded walkway so we could wait in the shade. It was also not a brutal summer day which was nice. The employee apologized several times and offered to extend our experience from 60 minutes to 70 minutes. She had the right keys delivered and we started our experience around 15 minutes late. Upon entering the facility, the vibes were very Raven like Edgar Allen Poe and gave off a vibe that suited Escape Rooms. This was not our first Escape Room experience and it was awesome to get all of our instructions verbally instead of watching a pre-recorded video which was the standard at other Escape Rooms. Once we got into our room to start the experience, we noticed the ambiance felt very much like what an Escape Room should be and it did seem like a magical shop. We worked very well as a team and we solved most of the clues ourselves although we did adhere to the requirement to dance for assistance three times. We escaped in just under 63 minutes. Luckily, we had those 10 extra minutes. It was nice to escape on our own and to do it as a family. Overall, the experience was great and I am certain we will be back to this facility in the future to give another room a try.

Went for my birthday on Easter again and brought my friends. We did the hardest room and even…read morethough there was some technical difficulties our room master, Finch, was amazing and helped us through it. It was so much fun and now my friends are HOOKED! Looking forward to doing the last room we haven't done :)

Everything was so awesome, it's hard to know where to start. But here we go:…read more Took both daughters & the g'kids (15, 13 & 12) for a fun family time while visiting Williamsburg. Tip for finding it: the business park it's in has lots of buildings that look alike. The sign they put out front is quite small. We were the only ones there besides our host, Maya. She was so friendly & welcoming, such a pleasure to meet her. We got started right away in Blackbeard's Cabin, said to be the hardest room. Well, I'll tell you it IS tough! We found lots (and lots and lots) of clues but at the halfway mark had to start asking for hints. What to do when you've found 20 or 30 bits that lead to a solution, but can't figure out how to assemble them? Why, talk like a pirate, of course. With ample hints, we actually solved it with 8 minutes to spare. Many laughs and head scratches, "hmmm"s and "Oh wait, wait!" but in the end we triumphed. DGD the Younger and I don't like jump scares, so I don't know that we would ever try the Chesapeake Bay Butcher room, but I would love to try Cyberpunkd the next time we come to Williamsburg.

We did a couple of the rooms here and we loved it. Particularly we all LOVED the Chesapeake Bay…read moreButcher room. If there was ever one escape room I wish I could do again for the first time it would be that one. The puzzles were fun and imaginative and honestly kinda scary and thrilling. We did another one about treasure after that one because we loved it so much and none of us enjoyed this one quite as much. The team was very helpful in guiding us during the times we were stuck. Really fun place!
