    Angel was amazing, the room was well made, and me and my group had an amazing time in the cave of souls.

    My wife and I went to visit House of Conundrum earlier this week to try out the escape rooms. We…read moredid one of the classic rooms, Tomb of Doom. In Toom of Doom, you are trying to escape a cursed room, using clues left by an explorer who perished before you. We had two younger children, so our family required a couple clues to finish, but the background and room setup were esceptional, the staff was very helpful, even offering assistance while we were struggling in the room, and we were able to finish our room with 7:56 left. The kids and the parents both had a great time and would gladly return to House of Conundrum again in the future!

    I have visited a LOT of Escape Rooms around the country so maybe I'm a bit biased. We did the…read moreBatman room and we found it lacking. The room is the classic style room with cheesy decorations, old school locks and keys and codes. There wasn't much, if any, automation in the room. One high point was the person working- who did a great job of setting the scene and serving a bit of immersion. It was obvious that whoever built this room had the Batman mannequin and built the rest around it. We divided and conquered the puzzles pretty quickly because we thought we were rushing to another room, but upon opening it, that was the end of the experience. I understand that some of their challenges do involve multiple rooms but this is the only one we got to do during our visit to Omaha.

We came in for our first birthday party experience and it was fun. It moved very quickly and the staff was very attentive. The kids enjoyed laser tag, and I really liked the pizza! Much better than the previous burgers I tried.

    Decided to give this place a try to see what the arcade room is all about…read more The place was clean and spacious, and my kid did have fun, but compared to Dave and Buster's, this place is just not worth it. You can find most of these games at Dave and Busters. The way their point system for games is set up is weird. Let's say a game is 1.5 points--that means they are taking $1.50 from your game card. Many games were 1.5 points, but there were quite a few that went up to 4. So paying $4 to play one game is outrageous and a rip-off, to say the least. At Dave and Buster's, they have a much better system, and your dollar goes a long way compared to this place. Also, some of the claw machines weren't working properly. People would win a toy, but the door wouldn't open to retrieve it. The staff was walking around, and I let them know. They said they were going to get someone, and we waited for maybe 10 minutes, but nobody showed up. I then decided to go find someone working at the shop, and she helped right away. Maybe we will come back and try the bowling and food, but when it comes to the arcade unfortunately we won't be back for that.
