My wife's cousin was visiting so she booked a smash room for her and found this. She says that…read morecompared to most rooms the prices were good and I can't say how this compares to other rooms, but I can comment on how it felt for me. I felt the experience was lacking. There are a few areas that need improving. First off, the base package needs to have more than just a crate of glassware. After a couple of swings the experience feels plain. I know you can pay to add other things like a printer etc, but I feel that should be the minimum and then you pay if you want to add more. Second, the music should not just be a speaker set outside the room but a couple of speakers set high up inside the room. The music and the experience feel disconnected. The person who set us up was very courteous and even brought some dishes and was throwing them in the air so we can swing at them like trying to hit a ball coming at you which was a bit more fun, but that's when you realize that the experience as a whole is lacking. Maybe some guidance to start you off could also help. Finally the parking situation is not ideal. We went there and didn't know where it was ok to park as the spaces are limited and parked blocking a car after one of the employees said it was ok to park there. And it wasn't even busy, which makes me worry what it's like to park there when it is busy. Overall not bad, but needs a few changes to become a must experience to recommend to someone.

There were so many challenges to try, plenty of physical ones and plenty of less-physical ones, some that were better with 4 and some better with 2. It would also be a really fun friend or date activity to get to know someone better. We ate in the attached restaurant, and the food was a little pricey but very good. By about 1 it was getting busier, and we sometimes had to wait for a preferred challenge. Morning is definitely the time to go. We could probably have played for 3 hours with a lunch break, but 2 was a satisfying amount of playtime for everyone.

The staff were very friendly, explained everything and were incredibly interactive and helpful.

The Witches Hollow escape room was a lovely and very story centered Escape room experience…read more My friends and I have done a number of escape rooms together and separately and this was the first escape room I have ever participated in where competition with a ticking clock was not front and center to the entire thing. There was no clock present at all! And we learned, after we escaped, that they have additional puzzles they add if players are getting through the puzzles quickly. Because it's story centered, they want you to get from point A to point B, but the puzzles were still difficult enough to be satisfying. The production value was fantastic - a lot of attention to light and sound design and a beautiful set and props. It was a great atmosphere to lose yourself in for an hour. Bravo. I don't live that close to Salem, but kind of hope my friends will want to organize to try the other room. Other less important stuff: Though they don't have their own lot, they are located on a public pay lot. They are about a 10 minute walking distance from the downtown witchy area of Salem. There is a Starbucks next door which can be convenient for meeting up before and debriefing after. Check them out - a really great experience.

I had never been here before but took my son with two friends for an informal birthday celebration…read more All three kids are neurodivergent. First, I want to say make a reservation for one of their interactive game room on their site before your visit. I made a reservation for a 60 and a 30 minute game for a total of a 90 minute experience. My son chose Party Box and The Floor is Lava. When you arrive, the person checks you in and you wear a head piece and move your entire body to solve physical challenges and puzzles. All three walls are interactive. Because the instructions go rather fast, I stayed in the room and helped the kids with instructions. Party box was like 10 different games and puzzles that were appropriately challenging for the 12 year olds in the room. They had to be aware of their bodies in relation to their character on the screen. The Floor is Lava is like the television show but more achievable. Bottom line: This is a really fun place and the games are physical virtual reality experiences that I would prefer over sitting at home with video games. Families can have a really great time and this would be a great place for a date! The young lady who was working that day was running the place single-handedly. There was a fire drill while we were there and we had to exit and wait for the mall to let us back in. I think her name was Chanel, and she was a picture of calm. When she let us back in, all the servers had to be restarted and this delayed us about 45 minutes. Despite everyone being in this woman's space and asking questions, she stayed pleasant and poised. She deserves some recognition for that. It was a lot to manage so I stayed out of her hair. But other people were not as gracious and this was totally out of her control. When a game is over, the room records a fun TikTok style video for your party. I would come back often. The cost for 90 minutes was about $50 a person but that is comparable to other gamebox places and I like the physical aspects of the space. My neurodivergent children enjoyed the experience immensely, even with the Fire Drill.

My two boys just celebrated their birthday party here, and couldn't have asked for a better venue…read more Some of our guests arrived earlier than the start time of our party and the staff didn't miss a beat bringing us to the event space to entertain our guests. The back party space was decorated beautifully with a fun Happy Birthday theme. They were very "hands off" and aside from getting the Squid Games started in 2 of the boxes, they simply left us alone until we asked for more plates for the cake. Fun entertainment for both young and old. Prior to their party, we came here on a separate visit to do a FREE demo of Squid Game, which allows you to try out a game for approximately 15 minutes. We ended up having so much fun that we committed to the full hour of gameplay. We can't wait to come back and try out some of their other games like Psychedelic Mansion, The Floor is Lava, Angry Birds, and their latest edition, BATMAN!

Bruno, our coordinator, was punctual, friendly, helpful, and fun. The administrative work beforehand was simple, and all we had to do was provide space. This was a great party, tons of fun, and great even for kids who are not into soccer--most of the girls had more fun running each other over and bouncing around than anything to do with soccer. Thanks NEBS!

Our friends have been here before so they knew exactly where to go. This location is in a complex with other businesses and its in the back of the building. There are quite a few different game options and time slots to choose from. We chose the Bomb Squad game. A bomb is hidden in the city and time is ticking. Our mission was to find the bomb and defuse it before it's too late. All of their rooms are private so when we booked a game, it's just us and our team with no strangers. It was easy to book and pay for our room online. When we arrived, they showed us where the bathrooms were down the hallway in the building. The lobby is pretty simple with a few seats and a description of the game rooms. We were then escorted to our room. The rules were explained to us by our game master and then the 60 minute timer started. The puzzles required team building, communication skills, problem-solving and critical thinking abilities. We escaped with 5 minutes and 45 seconds left. It was a lot of fun. The game master gave us helpful hints to keep us progressing through the game. We can't wait to come back and try another room.

The team played music that really amped us up, and I really loved that it wasn't JUST archery tag. She ran us through a bunch of different game styles and it kept it very fresh and fun. At the end we were able to have our pizza, a cake I brought in and some drinks. It was overall a really great time! Jen and the team really made our experience really fun. She was clear with the instructions, rules and really highlighted our achievements! My advice to anyone coming in, call ahead if you have any questions because the team is happy to answer your questions. This is also ONE heck of a workout, so just be dressed and ready to run! Overall we would come back for sure!
