After a long time away, you are eager to come home to your loving family. Instead of your wife and daughter, you return to an empty house and a letter on the table. To get to the bottom of their disappearance you will have to use everything at your disposal, pushing your problem solving abilities to the limit. Leave no stone unturned, and most importantly, trust no one.

Fantastic! Friendly, courteous staff. Wonderfully designed room, with excellent clues and atmosphere. I like rooms where EVERYTHING in it is needed to escape. (No “red herrings”.) Will be back to do the remaining rooms! 👍

Lots of creative puzzles in what seems like a fairly bland room. The latter half of the room was pretty adorable.

Not hints used! Woot! We took a while with one of the puzzles but it was definitely challenging and fun. Better for more experienced players, but doable for beginners.

So many unique clues

Story

We love the way this room makes sense with the story. In some rooms I leave thinking “okay, but why would there be _____ in this random room?” But the theme of this room makes all of the hidden items purposeful.
