It's located in the mall so plenty of parking. The staff helping with set up and intros were nice an made things easy. For this room we started handcuffed so it took a little longer than normal to get set up. No spoilers obviously but these rooms were very intricate. We needed a lot of nudges and some extra help but we luckily got out. Lots of interesting puzzles and locks here. We were very big fans and would love to try the rest of the rooms!

My husband and I did the Dr. Ensaine and the Bank Heist escape rooms. We did Dr. Ensaine first, which is level medium for difficulty. This one we thought was harder, especially since some of the writing on the objects was pretty worn down so it was hard to read it. I also wasn't sure how you were supposed to connect a couple things without a hint or nudge. This was has a creepy undertone to it but nothing pops out or no one comes out at you, which I was waiting for so that also through me off. The location of this escape room is also in the middle of the others so you could hear other people well which was distracting. We were able to finish even though our 60 mins was up and we finished 3 mins over. Princess was our game host for this one. We came back the next day to do the Bank Heist which was rated 2nd hardest escape room they had. My husband and I loved this one a lot more and we actually made it out with 8 min 47 sec left to spare! This one was more up our alley I think with the types of puzzles and def wasn't scary at all. They used all different types of challenges that we hadn't seen before in other escape rooms. We definitely loved the Bank Heist more, but both were good overall! We had a couple different game hosts here. For 2 people it was $37.50 per person, for 3 or more it's $32 per person. Each room is private so you don't have to share with strangers. You get 3 hints per room but unlimited nudges. It was a lot of fun!

I was surprised to find zero reviews for this place, because their rooms are SOOOO immersive!!! We ended up doing two of their rooms on the same day, sleepy hollow AND Elixir INC. You can't go wrong with either, as they are both great. If I HAD to pick one, sleepy Hollow really pulls you into the experience. Give them a try. You won't regret it.

They laid out the rules and gave us a quick lesson on how to throw axes safely. Oh, and how to work the score system. We were mostly left to our own devices after that, having a fun time overall. About half way though, the staff swung by and showed us how to use the lighter hatchets, which were great for a few of us who lacked a little upper body strength. A great time overall.

The space is quite large with seating areas and the hatchet throwing bays. There were also other forms of entertainment including an air hockey table, checkers and the eye and hook game outside. I will say there was a learning curve to figuring out how to throw the hatchets properly but the attendant was nice enough to walk us through it and give us some tips. Once I got the hang of it, I had tons of fun. We had signed up for an hour and it went by very quickly. One cool part about this place is that they have fun games that you can play while throwing including a hatchet throwing blackjack where the first person to 21 points wins. Overall, this place is a great find and the hour goes by pretty quickly here! They do serve food so I can see this being a great spot for friends or a date night!

I felt like we could ask any question and get pro quality instruction! The staff was sharp and on point (pardon the pun) Tip: don't go hungry, there is no food (outside of packed chips and bottled drinks) or alcohol on the premises. This should change in About 3 mths.

As the planner of the party, I highly suggest opting for the birthday package even if it's no ones birthday because not only is it the same price as a normal group package, but it comes with a t-shirt. I love the neon t-shirt I now have after this fun evening. You're not allowed to bring outside food to the party room, but you can bring dessert. They provide you with plates, serving utensils, and napkins which is nice. If you want food, they have food package options you can pay them for. We had enough seating for everyone and this came with two games. There is a huge variety of games you can pick from. We picked the classic free-for-all for our first and then a teams based one for our second game. They had even more styles to pick from too. As the "bday girl" I got to choose the themes I wanted for the names (your name is assigned to you with the gun/laser vest you pick). Our first game was Nintendo themed and our second was Food Puns themed. This was an easy place to get to. They have a free parking lot out front. They have mens and womens restrooms inside. And a water bottle filling station at the water fountain. They also had an arcade near the front. I highly recommend having a big group here. It was so much fun.
