Escape room with home girl - This was the best place on earth! I was so happy and the staff was so nice. A guy named Diego told my friend and I that we had great energy and that started the night off right! Jacob was also a nice help and made our night by boasting us up about escaping!

Amazing first time experience! - This was a very fun experience for my first time! The props were cool, besides one broken grate, everything (especially the videos) was fine. There was one thing with the orange hexagons (I’m kind of salty about), but the rest of the experience made me forget about that nitpick. 8/10 is a perfect rating for it, and it has puzzles for a wide range of skill levels. Props to whoever came up with the ideas! You definitely need someone who’s good, but it still leaves time for (the others) to have fun. Random teenager thing, but it’s funny to imagine the person watching us, thinking “how do you miss that?!?” or “arggh!”

Best time - The staff was fantastic. We loved working with Sybil. — friendly, enthusiastic, and clearly passionate about what they do. Our game master was attentive and offered just the right amount of help when we needed a nudge without giving too much away.

Didn’t Escape but Still Survived - First time doing the Prison Break and while not succeeding, Elijah being our game host made the time worthwhile! David also was fantastic at the front desk, and the entire experience was amazing. We’ll definitely be back.
