Great variety of puzzles with a fun theme. Perfect for teams of 3-4. Puzzles were medium level difficulty. We also did Watson's Revenge which was full of clever puzzles, fun reveals and unique locks. Definitely have experienced players on your team as this one is pretty challenging. 4+ teammates is good for this one. Lastly, we did 13th Floor which was luckily not a scary room, just a slightly creepy theme. Really enjoyed the puzzles and riddles in this one as well as the interactive elements. 3-5 is good for this one. Puzzles are medium to hard difficulty. Rave reviews for the fun game master. The inventory/closeup system for the virtual/remote rooms were a bit tricky to juggle but allowed us to divide and conquer.

We came to do one, but the experience was pretty heavy for the group, and the great staff there let us change to a room that was better suited to our group, right on the fly! We ended up doing "King Arthur's Quest" and Sean, our gamemaster, did a great job at keeping us moving! A lot of fun and keep us occupied for an hour! We will definitely come back for other challenges! If you are thinking about coming, a word from the now-wise: pay heed to the challenge rating (PG, PG-13, etc.). And don't be afraid to ask questions about the challenge when you have your pre-meeting. If you are afraid of the dark - ASK! your gamemaster if the room is going to be dark. If you have to switch escape rooms based on your comfort factor, do it, you'll be glad you did. Thanks again Sean!

For starters, had a great experience for a first time escape room. We were staying in the area and…read moresaw the great reviews and allocolades this Escape Room had so we booked a time that was after our hotel checkin and before dinner. Very easy to find the building, parking was plentiful. Corey (sp?) checked us in and was very informative as well as welcoming. She explained the basics and made sure we were comfortable with what was to come. We had checked online on the different rooms and had decided to go with The Library one as it was more for our skill level. 60 minute time limit to get the clues and escape, I an happy to say we were out in 53 minutes! Pricing was reasonable, and actually a little less than our local escape rooms.

We had such a great time. We played the dragons lair which is such a cool room.

You can return and choose to play the room again and getting to the quest to try to finish. You definitely need more than 2 people to play this game. We had 4. The quest room is small so fitting people in was a bit cramped and hard for everyone to see clues at the same time. The puzzles were challenging and fun. Overall, we will definitely return to play more games. We had such an amazing time here. All rooms are private which is a bonus.

If you're into questing and escape rooms, this is for you. High tech single room challenges from physical to mental challenges, you and your teammates try to accomplish 1 to 3 star challenges without failing. If you fail, you exit the room and can try again. Each room does not take longer than average 4-5 minutes. They're always adding new rooms maybe around a half year basis, but it's always fun as a team or group event.

The story had us intrigued and there were tons of clues within clues within clues that knocked us down a peg every time we thought we were working through the room too quickly, lol. 7 of us worked our way through and managed to beat the room with about 4 minutes to spare. There was a clue we somehow managed to skip but still have solved and one clue that may not have triggered correctly but the owner had a way of communicating/guiding us from outside the room. This was the first escape room for a few of my coworkers and they're all excited to try more. I think its a great location to maybe ease in first timers.

I'm told the room has a very low chance of escape, but it's just this particular group's special skill to run out of time at the last puzzle. The cool part was that when you open certain chests, you get a robe for each member of your party. There's also wands that use you can use in the room to make it more interactive too. Unlike other game rooms I have been to, you use a radio to speak to the game master when hints are needed. Other than that, I liked the set up, puzzles and how friendly the staff was.
