Hilariously fun time. Brought my daughter out to this location for one of her friend's birthday…read moreescape room experience. Parking is an issue here since it is in the heart of Towson. There are some garages within a short walking distance. I ended up finding one pretty close by if you are lucky you can get street parking but I wouldn't bet on it. The check in process was easy. All you have to do is fill out a waiver on a table. For anyone under 18 an adult has to do those waiver for them. The parent left the kids to enjoy the experience without them. They have a tablet for you to be able to watch the progress of your group if you choose not to participate like I did on this day. The girls had a fun time and it was entertaining for me watching them try to figure out the clues. I am interested in coming back with a group of adults. They have several different.

TLDR: Reservation started 30-40+ minutes late with barely any communication, we ended up missing…read moreour dinner reservation, staff hardly responded when we needed hints/help during the game, and multiple puzzles/clues either didn't make sense or seemed broken. What was supposed to be a fun birthday activity for my mom ended up being frustrating from beginning to end. I brought my mom here for her birthday. Unfortunately, this experience completely changed my opinion of this place. We had a reservation and arrived early like instructed. We were told they were "about 10 minutes behind" because of technical difficulties, but 10 minutes turned into well over 30-40 minutes with almost no updates from staff! We even asked for a refund at one point because we had dinner reservations afterward and didn't want to keep waiting. We were basically told they'd "have to ask the owner another day." Since nothing was guaranteed and I was doubtful due to the lack of professionalism, we just decided to do the room anyway. Because of the delay, we ended up missing our dinner reservation for my mom's birthday. The escape room itself was honestly just as frustrating. We were told we wouldn't need to bend down for clues, but important items were hidden low under furniture. Several puzzles didn't connect well, some clues/items were never even used and certain props seemed broken or weren't working correctly. The biggest issue was how hard it was to get help. We repeatedly raised our hands asking for hints or clarification and would wait several minutes with no response. At one point we genuinely thought something in the room was broken and couldn't get anyone to answer us. There was also a super dark section where we couldn't even read what was on the walls, and again, staff barely responded when we asked for help and use our flashlight. What's disappointing is that I previously had good experiences here, but this visit felt really disorganized and unprofessional from start to finish. It honestly felt like a waste of money and put a damper on my mom's birthday, which is the most upsetting part.

Happy to see they've updated their website to indicate which rooms were borrowed partially from…read moreescape room companies that sold stories and which ones were totally their own. Because of the interest of my friends mainly, I was curious to see the differences between Blind Tiger Speakeasy here and the one in OBX escape rooms. The setup and price here is much better. I don't remember all the nuances, but I know the modifications done with KOP are much better. The beginning puzzle, they let you solve it intuitively in parts rather than expect the entire combination to be correct. This helps with playability and the fun factor. They have wonderful employees that work here. Jaden was no exception! I did catch on to some clues faster because even though I didn't remember exactly what I did with my group at the OBX one, I did have a faint inkling. At the OBX one, we didn't solve it but had help from a guide in the room as I was only in a group of 3, the room there required a minimum of 4, and we had to pick rooms that could serve physical accommodations there. I'm still "waiting" for some escape room in the general area to do escape the 90s. The closest one from my area right now seems to be Rochester, which is too far. I do pass by that way once in awhile, but being only one person makes it tough. . .

Excellent rooms. Creative escapes and puzzles. The staff is very engaged and supportive…read more Competitive environment for friends or families. A fun time across multiple experience levels. Different themes that range across the years. Well done!

Did 2 rooms here w friends. One of them, Bikers, was a bit too dark but the aesthetic of the…read moredimness fit in well with the room. There was some cool interaction with this room for a bit in particular. Another one, Vampires. even though also dark, was setup to light up at all the right times. Vampires is probably very highly rated for escape rooms in the country and was certainly one of my favorite experiences personally. Game master and staff have escape room running down to a science. This company has been here for 7 years and they plan to change Bikers theme soon. The entrance is a bit tricky to find as the website said to go down a set of steps on the side. While this is still true, you need to go down a different flight of stairs w a blue awning instead.

This was my first time doing an escape room and the first for my SO as well. We were visiting…read morefriends who have done a few and loved them so they booked for us to do Biker's Revenge on a Saturday afternoon. They did the reservations and everything so I can't speak to that. Upon entering one from our group checked in while two of us searched the lobby for handprints to get extra clues. We all signed our waivers and then were guided back behind the curtain to enter our room. The design was great. You really felt like you were in a bar and there was a lot of detail to the decor. We had a little trouble figuring out where to start but we were able to just ask our game master for a clue when needed. It is such a fun, hands on experience. The puzzles were fun. I enjoyed the variety and that it wasn't just figuring out combinations to locks. Unfortunately we didn't escape in time, but just a few more minutes and we would have had it. The four of us all had a great time and though. This was my first experience so I didn't have a lot to compare it to. However it was great and definitely made us fans of escape rooms. We have done one other since and definitely preferred the experience here
