We have had Hijinx at Joffre Manor at Nerdy by Nature Escape Rooms on our to-do list for a while…read more We finally went and did it with another couple. This is a Scooby-Doo inspired escape room with a secondary "whodunit" murder theme. We were greeted by our game-master Theresa who was very friendly and energetic. I won't give it away, but this room has one of the coolest starts. It has to do with how and where you watch the introductory video before beginning the actual room. We all loved it and it sets up the adventure perfectly. Everybody gets a flashlight for the first part which is dimly lit but not dark. The garden area in front of the manor and the interior are both decorated in an amazingly immersive way. The interior is not a physically large space, but it feels huge. They did a great job of putting a lot of different areas, rooms, and floors in an area that is not big as it seems. There is a great variety of puzzle types including locks, keys, mechanical puzzles, physical puzzles, and some other unique puzzles. Various sound effects play in the background, and a chime goes off every 15 minutes to help you keep track of time. At least one person in your group will have to do some stair climbing in more than one place, and do one other light physical activity. A group of four was perfect for this room. We are all pretty experienced, and split up at times. The puzzles are not overly difficult, but there are a lot. Everything flowed very well, and we all got into a great grove. For the first time in a while, we didn't need any clues and finished with twelve minutes left. Once you've solved all the puzzles and gathered all the clues about who the murderer is, you have to identify which of the three suspects it is to finally escape. You can make multiple guesses, and it was a good final brain teaser to complete an excellent room. We had a lot of fun doing this one, and it was definitely one of our favorites out of the nearly 60 escape rooms we've done. They have one other easier pirate themed room, and a third room is set to open soon.

The game guides and staff were very friendly and fun and really sold the whole experience! I'd say that while the use of the space was creative, it definitely made the place feel very cramped. The scale change from downstairs to upstairs rooms was rough and the slide left most of my party pointing at me to make the plunge. If something could be changed it would be the reality and conclusion. I think playing a little more into a realistic whodunnit instead of a campy goofy one would add more desire to reach a correct outcome which by the end I was just saying names because nothing really stood out as THE answer.

It was a work out, but we planned for it with good tennis shoes and lots of water. I think it's 4 miles. There were 7 teams when we played and we came in third, but finished under 3 hours. I guess the average winner finishes in 3.5 hours. We were a competitive bunch. Great fun for the whole family. Looking forward to the next one!

Upon entry we were greeted by a friendly game master, I forgot to get her name but she was really sweet and enthusiastic, you can tell this business cares about their players with the small puzzles and arcade game you can play while you wait as well as a mini fridge with some water and kool aid that was fantastic on this hot summer day. I heard both rooms were very colorful and whimsical and reviews were definitely not wrong. I think there was a great combination of difficulties for the puzzles and found some very easy to overlook if you ironically didn't get to dog-eye level hehe. We love animals so this was a really great and creative room. Thank you to Ms. Jade for helping us throughout the game and providing us with hints when we were really struggling and just so close. She was really sweet and enthusiastic too! I know she was working two games at the time we finished so we appreciated that she took the time to debrief us despite trying to juggle both games as best she could. We never felt rushed. I think we'd love to come back to play Wicked Wonderland or Prison Break! Thank you Escape Room 66!

I had an amazing first time experience at Escape Room 66 and I cannot wait to come back again soon…read more I forgot our escape room host's name, but her initials started with a K and she was an absolute sweetheart. She didn't rush us out at all (as some escape room places do), she was extremely patient and kind, and she went over all of the clues that we didn't get to solve when our timer ended. My boyfriend and I spontaneously booked "The Doghouse" and I believe I spoke with her on the phone as well before booking and she was just as sweet as she was in person. I absolutely loved the creativity and complexity of the puzzles and the room/props were of high quality (and not old or overused like some places, lol). Her customer service was definitely top notch - my boyfriend definitely made sure to tip her, lol. Will definitely be back again to solve another room soon!!!

These scavenger hunts are SO one-of-a-kind and have just the right amount of challenge (they're…read moretough and mind-stretching for sure, but not impossible to solve). Each of the locations are so unique, so even after you've done one, you will have a completely different experience at another location. It's one of my goals to hit up every location the mastermind and creative genius, Alex, has designed, and I'm well on my way with only one location left. In my opinion, these hunts are way more fun than an escape room because (1) they're longer -- 3-4 hours vs. 1-hour escape rooms -- thus more bang for your buck; (2) they involve walking around beautiful beach cities so you get exercise while enjoying the sun, fresh air, and creation; (3) they allow you to observe and appreciate art, monuments, and plaques you would normally otherwise overlook and walk right past; (4) they're designed so as you're walking between places, you can also chit chat with your teammates; and (5) they provide live competition against all the other teams and therefore fun motivation to work quickly and efficiently. I participated in my first Murder Mystery Scavenger Hunt back in 2015, and I can confidently say that even after running these events for so many years, Alex is still just as passionate, invested, responsive, and funny. I cannot recommend these scavenger hunts enough!

They'll reference the contract incessantly, despite 6 written requests to cancel the membership starting months ago. Had to freeze the membership, as they do not respect cancellations. Once their freeze drops they charge, despite requests to cancel the membership. Documentation is available of all claims. They will be posted to a public forum shortly. This screenshot is the latest from today, 8/13/25. I haven't used their gym since January/Feb and have been attempting to cancel since then. I am more than happy to take this as far as it takes to achieve a fair resolution. If somebody is not using a service, they should not have to pay for it, and they should be allowed to cancel at any time. They're insisting I have a balance for the month the membership unfroze (wasn't told it unfroze) and they want the money for that month. It's absurd.
