Everything was so awesome, it's hard to know where to start. But here we go:…read more Took both daughters & the g'kids (15, 13 & 12) for a fun family time while visiting Williamsburg. Tip for finding it: the business park it's in has lots of buildings that look alike. The sign they put out front is quite small. We were the only ones there besides our host, Maya. She was so friendly & welcoming, such a pleasure to meet her. We got started right away in Blackbeard's Cabin, said to be the hardest room. Well, I'll tell you it IS tough! We found lots (and lots and lots) of clues but at the halfway mark had to start asking for hints. What to do when you've found 20 or 30 bits that lead to a solution, but can't figure out how to assemble them? Why, talk like a pirate, of course. With ample hints, we actually solved it with 8 minutes to spare. Many laughs and head scratches, "hmmm"s and "Oh wait, wait!" but in the end we triumphed. DGD the Younger and I don't like jump scares, so I don't know that we would ever try the Chesapeake Bay Butcher room, but I would love to try Cyberpunkd the next time we come to Williamsburg.

If there was ever one escape room I wish I could do again for the first time it would be that one. The puzzles were fun and imaginative and honestly kinda scary and thrilling. We did another one about treasure after that one because we loved it so much and none of us enjoyed this one quite as much. The team was very helpful in guiding us during the times we were stuck. Really fun place!

The room/location is "low tech" compared to others and looks... more hand done than others I've played. Not a bad thing but would have lowered the rating. What saved rating was the expansiveness of the room. I don't want to give away details but the whole room felt like it kept opening doors to more areas. I love that feeling. Sorta more bang for your buck. All in all, we'd definitely go back.

Myself and one friend had only done an escape room one other time with the rest never having done one. The guy running the room was very down to earth and calmed our nerves. He explained the rules and safety guidelines very well. When we were in the room, it was so fun and some of the puzzles were really out of the box. The guy would chime in and give hints that would let you know, "hey you're wrong" without giving too much away. It had some physical aspects in this room, but nothing too bad, mostly crawling. I'm very happy with our experience and would definitely come back. Not to mention the prices were very reasonable.

My boyfriend and I have done over 20 rooms and sadly this was our worst…read more We booked a room at 7pm, and drove from Richmond to do the room for my boyfriends birthday. I called ahead as I saw no one had booked the time before us (5pm). I asked if we could possibly come at 6pm since the booking before us was open. The person on the phone wouldn't even let me get out the fact that we were traveling over an hour to do this room. Very short..:"You can come at 5 or 7, that's it". Okay fine, my boyfriend is a game master so we figured there may not be a game master available at 6pm. When we arrived the guy at the desk barely said two words to us. Put a tablet in our hands with no direction. Again it was a good thing we had done so many rooms so we knew to complete the waiver. After that the only communication we got "first door on the left, good luck". Okay again....direction? Locks? Did you ask us if we had done a room before? Once in the room we had to wait over 2 minutes to get clues that were sub-par, and the game master failed to even mention that one lock was not necessary since we were not playing in competition mode. When we "escaped" the room we didn't even realize we had escaped. No enthusiasm from the game master what so ever. Sadly this is our first and last experience. Disappointing since we traveled over an hour for this one.

Our second visit wasn't as great as our first. I'd like this place to succeed because it's…read moredifferent and fun but I think the price point is prob too high given the inconsistency of the experience. The first time we came it was on time and we loved the Dragon Tower escape room: it was the perfect mix of puzzle and action. This time we showed up 10 minutes early and they said they were running 5-10 minutes behind because of "cleaning issues". Well it turned into 20 minutes late so thankfully we already canceled our dinner reservations. I think it would've been fine if it wasn't $250 for a family of five for 38 minutes and the ninja trials escape room was not as exciting or interesting as dragon tower. Also one of the equipment pieces we were given was faulty so that made it less fun for one of us.

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.
