It was my 1st time doing one and I really enjoyed it…read more The room we did was smaller than what I think of for an escape room but that didn't impact the experience very much. The clues weren't the hardest but they were definitely a little tricky. I loved how the room was themed and the design. The guy who explained it was super awesome and did a great job of getting us excited to do the escape room. I would definitely suggest this for a fun day.

You will need to find parking down the street in a parking garage (and yes, you'll need to pay for parking). It's a two story facility. Not much to look at on the inside and I do wish they offered beverages. We did the zombie escape with the lab room, and managed to make it to the final room. It was certainly fun and required brains to solve the puzzles. It was confusing at first with 6 different people trying to figure out best steps. You'll realize pretty quickly it's easier to just go ham and go rogue in some areas. The puzzles weren't super hard but still required some thinking. Overall, we had a great time and some cool props were used.

My group of 14 had an absolute blast axe throwing -- we were laughing, cheering, and getting surprisingly competitive! Our instructor (whose name I sadly forgot!) was awesome -- full of energy, super patient with all of us first-timers, and made sure we were safe while still having tons of fun. His tips really helped us get the hang of it quickly! Beyond axe throwing, there are plenty of other fun games to enjoy -- giant Jenga, Connect Four, darts, and even an arcade game or two. Plus, there's a cute little bar area where you can grab a drink and snacks and hang out between turns. Highly recommend checking this place out -- I'll definitely be back! **deducted a star due to no convenient parking **

We got to throw 3 different types of hatchets and we paid extra to throw knives. Unlike some places, there is no alcohol served here. There is a small area with some activities (jenga, foosball, chess & large Connect Four). I really enjoyed the music they were playing too; a good variety for most everyone.

That was fun! I arrived with about a dozen of my friends to celebrate a birthday. We love escape…read morerooms, and had a blast solving The Grand Zeppelin. Niki was our in-room actor. She was a ton of fun, and certainly knows how to set a ship on fire. Having an in-room actor is helpful for dealing with any hardware glitches which are fairly common in escape rooms. But Niki was spectacular. She balanced the level of interaction to not be too obtrusive, but sill remain helpful. I don't know what else to tell you without giving anything away. The room itself was very well put together. Everyone in our party was engaged in the problem solving, and we finished with plenty of time to spare.

Very easy to book through the website even with the Groupon voucher. What would normally cost $60 for two people only cost $40. Upon arriving it may be best to scout the area for a good parking spot. We end up parking at a garage and paid $14 for an hour. There was a lot of traffic this day in particular due to road construction. The sign to the place doesn't really just jump out unless you are really paying attention to it. Management was a little late and the doors were locked when we arrived but we had fun once inside so it made us forget about our 15 minute wait outside. Once inside you do have to fight the fishy smell from the poke bowl place but it's better when you reach the inside of Escape the room. Management did an awesome job explaining everything for us newbies and although we didn't escape it was a great experience and we have a picture to remember the moment.

We decided to do Lady Alexandra. The instructions were clear. The puzzles were difficult but all made sense. We did need some clues to help us along though and it was easy to use the walkie talkie to request them. We had a full hour and could see the timer in the main room. I had such a blast and can't wait to come back! The pricing is really good too - about $40 pp with tax.

I don't think many escape rooms include about how many people passed the room, but I'm not sure if they ever update it or if the numbers are accurate. Angelica introduced us to the room and setting! She was super kind~ We did the basketball one (rated at easy, 50% pass rate, up to 6 ppl in a room) as a warmup. If 6 people were in this small room, it would definitely feel claustrophobic. It wasn't too challenging or simple. The hardest thing was how to use the walkie talkie since it was my first time LOL. Angelica had to interventions and tell us to let go of the black button on the walkie talkie. We were a bit stumped with how some of the puzzles work because I never thought I could do this in particular to find clues. Some of the visuals and props could've needed some work like painting, antiqueness, and productional set up. But the room was pretty clear with what needed to be solved. Their wooden placards for escaping or failing the puzzle were mediocre though The person working when we ended took some not great pictures (and very crooked) but kind enough to retake . Another thing so I didn't like is that when we opened the final door to the actual room, the timer kept going. So we don't really know when we finished (or if we were even close to the leaderboard). The room and floor were also freezing cold.

If you have read my other reviews, you've probably figured out that my wife and I have become…read moreStranger Things nerds and our trip to Georgia was inspired by the show's filming locations. One of which can be found at Sleepy Hollow farm. The farm doesn't have just a grassy field where they filmed (although they did film the pumpkin patch scenes here, too) the farm holds a very special place for fans of the show- police chief Jim Hopper's cabin! The production crew built the cabin on the farm and the farm uses it between filming as, get this, an escape room! Now, my wife and I had never done an escape room before, but when we learned that we could actually go into the actual set where so many of those cool scenes were filmed, well we quickly decided to go to Sleepy Hollow farm and check it out. It did not disappoint. The "game master" was a sweet girl that gave us some great background information about the show and filming before she gave us the rules and set us up in Hopper's cabin. While we were geeking out, right at first, about being IN the actual movie set, we quickly set out on solving the mystery (which I won't divulge here, so not to ruin the fun for you). It was a bit tricky, but we were successful in solving the puzzle with just under two minutes to spare (which I thought was pretty good for our first time ever doing this sort of thing). The game master validated our pomposity by telling us that this particular game only has a 35% success rate! Maybe she was just telling us that to make us feel good about ourselves or maybe it was true and it was just beginners luck, but either way, we solved it and had an amazing time doing it! We had plenty of time to take pictures afterwards and the game master was very accommodating and even took some cool photos for us. There are lots of other fun things to do on the farm and, if you've got little ones, I highly recommend the outdoor obstacle course and the petting zoo. As for cost, it was probably a bit more expensive than a regular escape room experience, but for the memories we made, the pictures we have and the overall experience- it was well worth it!

The pricing was low and I'd even say a steal for the experience. The game master provided clear concise instructions. His enthusiasm really set the tone for the game. He also gave us all the fun facts and details about how the cabin exterior and some interior was actually part of the Stranger Things set. The game challenge level was just the right level of difficulties and the clues and theme as a whole was very well thought out. This was definitely a gem we stumbled across in our visit to Atlanta and arguably one of the highlights of our trip. 10/10, would definitely recommend.

As someone who is a big scaredy-cat, I asked my friend to call to see if live actor was scary, and they assured us that it was not scary. I can say that they were true to their word! We had Tanner as our live actor / guide through the experience. He was very immersive and passionate about the role. This was my first time doing a room with a live actor, so I don't have a point of comparison. I personally didn't like the way clues were given, but others may appreciate the banter and silly actions Tanner was doing to lead us in the right direction. I thought the addition of "crisis" moments was a clever way to reward strong players. My main issue with the room was that it was linear. At no point were two groups of people working on something simultaneously. That means that if you have more than three people, some members may be standing around. There was also one puzzle that is solved solely by trial-and-error, which is poor design. For the price, I had higher expectations in production value. The best part of The Grand Zeppelin was the ending, and I do want to commend Tanner for providing us with an immersive experience!

We did The Launch escape room and faced multiple technical malfunctions that significantly affected our game. From wires that didn't provide the clue even when connected correctly to knobs that didn't do the same even when set to the correct numbers, the puzzle malfunctions cost us a lot of time until the gamekeeper came over the PA to give us hints only to realize we had solved the puzzles and were just spending so much of our time trying to figure out what we had done wrong. After the game, he told us that we had done well for a group of four because the room was designed to be completed by eight players, so if you have a smaller group, I guess don't expect to actually be able to escape in the allotted time. For an expensive activity, we were disappointed that things did not function properly which interfered with our experience. If a room relies heavily on technology, that technology needs to work reliably.

The employee was nice enough to go ahead and take us, even though he was fully prepared to have no one to tend to. Hats off to him. I really appreciate that. He also turned out to be a super helpful guide/assistant (I forget what they are called) during our game. He gave us a few extra clues when he saw we were kind of stuck. I'd say he went above and beyond. Now, the facilities themselves were a little run down: worn down papers, and water damaged, fraying laminated clues, black light paint fading and hard to see in the provided lighting. The clues and rooms for sure need a refreshing, or renovation, and are not in the best shape. The staff won me over for sure though. It served to be a great first time escape room experience for me, and a great date event for my girlfriend and I.
