    My bf and I were visiting the area for a wedding. While looking for something to do during the day, before the wedding, we decided on an escape room! I booked us at 7:30 am for a 10:15 am game. We arrived at the location around 9:50 am. We finally walked up around 10 am to discover no one was there. I had called and the owner picked up letting me know our game master was running a bit late, due to traffic in the surrounding area. We had chosen one game but sadly it had not been reset the night before. So our game master, Brian, asked us to wait while he reset it. Coming to see us with some more bummer news, turns out 2 vital pieces were missing so we needed to choose a different game. We had signed up for the speakeasy one and ended up doing Nora's Nightmare. Now, I mention all that because it put us into a room I wouldn't normally choose. I'm a little chicken when it comes to spooky rooms... Nora's Nightmare has some spooky/creepy moments but HOLY MOLY... I loved it! Getting out of my comfort zone and trying this room was really fun. My bf and I did it with just us two. Brian had been really accommodating to us and overall, we were grateful he was willing to work with us. We got out with a minute and a half left! The room was fun with lots of puzzles to puzzle and stump us. There were a few clues that we would have never in a million years connected, haha. Brian was excellent. Very friendly and professional. Should we find ourselves in the area again, we would totally come back! 10/10 recommend

    Anytime I travel to new places, I attempt to take on an Escape Room, this one in particular was very nice. The moderators were great and very helpful and kind to our group. the first room we took on was Speakeasy, there were definitely some challenging puzzles there that called for mathematic skills and others for visual problem solving along with word puzzles and abstract concepts. The overall mixture was good, the room was not linear, and ended up being dominated. We were so excited we followed up with a second room right after, got a discount, and did Nora's Nightmare. The intensity of the puzzles were the exact same, with a mixture of solutions and necessary skills to get it done. We were able to go 2-0 in the facility, enjoyed ourselves and made great memories. This is definitely a great place to check out, I recommend it for anyone that enjoys doing escape rooms.

    See all

    Both the Speakeasy and Nora's Nightmare were entertaining, but Nora's Nightmare stole the show as our favorite.

We did the "Escape the Empire" experience and it was fantastic. Great lighting, sound design, etc. The puzzles were challenging enough but not so hard that it was just frustrating. I would definitely come back and try the "Heroes of the Galaxy" experience!

I've done several escape rooThere is no thinking really involved, it's just following the breadcrumbs. I called and asked, and looked on the website and it said it had a 70% pass rate. I went with my younger kids because they love Star Wars. We were moving along past a few things until we came to a ridiculous task. There are no clues, there's no brain power involved, it is literally plugging wires in a set of 24 options with 6 correct connections. I did the math on this and it's thousands of combinations potentially. This was a dead stop to our attempt. Not worth my $88. If you go with a group of adults be ready to do it a second time to pass it. Update: Joe D from this location has posted a response showing he does not care about his customers, nor does he understand how the rating system on Yelp works. Please read his comments where he clearly misses that I called to discuss this with a staff member, chooses to insult a customer, and how he believes a 3 star is a "negative" review. Good luck with your business Joe! You're going to need it with your personality and customer service.

When going to book, I missed changing the number of people as there were two highlighted areas just below it that stood out for date and time. Finished up and went to pay and I was confused as I paid over $80 for the Groupon but when putting in the code it subtracted $60 and then charged me tax. I finished and it was then that I realized it only booked for two people rather than 4. The next day I called and felt I patiently explained what had happened while asking if they could assist me with the reservation. I regret not getting the name of the person I spoke with because I've never been treated so rudely by anyone. She was condescending, clearly agitated and I was truly taken aback. This was for my child's birthday and I did not wish to sabotage the event by reacting to her inability to carry a polite conversation with a customer. At this point I no longer wanted to go but my kids were excited and I hoped our experience would improve. Enter Bridgette (unsure of spelling) who greeted us upon arrival, was incredibly friendly and turned the entire situation around. We had a blast in the Rage Room smashing things. I will say we probably finished in 10 minutes as we had smashed everything! I can't compare it to other establishments as this is the first we've visited. It was therapeutic and really fun. Will we visit again? Absolutely not. In reading other reviews I suspect I spoke with the owner. We'll choose to patronize another business who treats their customers with baseline respect. Having said that, Bridgette turned our experience around - kudos to her. Perhaps whoever I spoke with that day can take a page from her book on how to treat people, particularly paying customers, properly.
