    This company is great, this is the second room we’ve done with them. Decor is immersive and it’s a great mix of classic lock and key and high-tech puzzles!

    This game was great! There’s more when you think you’re done! The back story the staff gave prior to entering was great, it all tied back together in the end. I’d love to do a second version of this room. Great special effects, technology used throughout. Can’t say enough about it. Highly recommend

    Fairly easy. Room is older. Game ended abruptly with a “that’s all?” Feeling versus “yes we made it!” Puzzles that were intended to be solved later were solved earlier making the gameplay slightly confusing. Several red herrings (or maybe they were just old/broken pieces of the game no longer in use?) tip: keep in mind you are attempting to repair your ship, one puzzle is particularly obscure in that most rooms you’re discouraged from performing this type of action. Overall I’d suggest going to one of their other rooms.

    This venue is great! Joe, owner, is very welcoming and tells all the story’s perfectly. This is the smallest room they have, but it’s filled with different puzzles. They have a good mix of electronic and traditional puzzles. Definitely worth a visit to this venue!

    This is a great room, hidden gem! The set is fantastically done, there is a good mix of a few traditional locks and then some electronic puzzles. It’s clear the owners take pride in an immersive experience. Note this is not a scary room, so it’s fun for all ages! Minimum is 4 players. There are some challenging puzzles and is definitely a cerebral game in the beginning. Would recommend and will be trying their other room!

    Great set, it could be a magicians training room. The puzzles are difficult, as it’s a non linear room. They incorporated electronics really well as all of their rooms do. The game is not the staff is super friendly as they always have been! Would recommend this venue!

    This room is definitely difficult, we had a few “chin scratch” moments. The story was fun and fit the room well. All mechanical locks so it’s very hands on.

    Really great room! The set was well done, story well executed. There were a few puzzles that were rather difficult, but made it even more fun.

    Another great room by Valcarol Missions! Our second visit here. They have 2 rooms completed, others coming soon. The atmosphere is incredible, like a University Studios Set. Very well thought out puzzles, and extremely immersive!! Highly recommend!

    This room was incredibly immersive! From the moment you walk up it felt like you were walking into a universal studios attraction! They clearly took their time and was well thought out. Puzzles are electronic and have a well thought out design. Definitely should make this room a stop on your list!
