Had a great time here. The room we picked was so fun and pretty tricky. Everything was explained well to us by the employees and whenever we needed help with something, they did it with no problem. Super clean facility. Definitely will be back with our friends soon!

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed it. We played it as a family of four with our teenagers aged 13 & 15.

I was pleasantly surprised by it inside. The staff were brilliant and professional. We played a game called the playground, 6/10 difficulty rating. It was still quite hard for us but we got lots of clues along the way. We managed to escape also. All in all. Lots of fun. You’ll need to book a game and you’ll maybe get assigned with other people also as they’re quite large games.

Excellent escape room experience! We did both the Gold Rush and the Special Ops and both are awesome! All the rooms are well decorated to make you feel immersed. The games are well thought and super fun. Some of them are challenging but you do feel great solving them. We all had a wonderful time. Our game assistant Kate was awesome and went above and beyond to ensure we had a great experience. Will definitely come back again! Highly recommended!

I almost escaped. ☠️ My 15 year old brother and I attempted Prison Break, we were the only two. It was so much fun! We had a blast, and all the employees were awesome. I would highly recommend stopping by here if you have an hour or so and want to have fun!

So today we did "The Heist" which was quite amazing. The difficulty level was 7/10 for me. Would not have been able to complete on my own. We were joined by an awesome group of 5. "Happy Birthday Keke !!"

Amazing! We did The Heist and it was one of the best escape rooms I’ve ever seen. Creative, surprising, and very well made. We loved it so much, we’re coming back tonight to do another!

The franchise, one of the most renowned in the USA, knows how to be catchy:
-Well-designed games with charming and witty introductory videos, featuring revisited and original themes, different levels of difficulty (considering that we played successfully even with players on their first Escape room experience).
-Public sessions that allow you to meet new people.
-Discount options that encourage you to play again (in fact, we had booked two rooms and ended up doing three).
-The staff is very courteous and friendly, and they made our experience enjoyable (thanks Frankie and Matt).
After more than 250 Escape Rooms, it was definitely a pleasant discovery. If we have time again, we will return!
PS: Spoiler, we came back!

Our experience here was great! My husband and I booked early online with our Sightseeing Pass, and ended up doing our Prison Break room with another couple instead of the several people we were expecting. It was honestly SUCH a fun experience. The setting was cool, the items and clues were good, the knowledge they expected us to have was exactly reasonable, and it wasn't too scary or spooky. No jump scares or that type of thing. I also noticed all of their items were in fine working order so as not to be distracting, and the hints were reasonable without giving everything away. We did make it out, but with enough struggle that it felt like a real accomplishment. I'm a fan!

The escape we did wasn't particularly accessible, but we didn't have special accessibility needs. The staff was also incredibly kind, so I feel confident they would make every effort to accommodate specific needs in some way if you made them aware in advance.

Also, side note that right now there's construction on the street, and scaffolding almost entirely obscures the sign above the door here. We walked right past it and were almost too late for our time slot!

Over all, our experience here was fantastic. If we were local, we'd definitely be back!
