Kandy Corp

Kandy Corp is not a traditional escape room, but more like an open-ended set of challenge rooms. Following a welcome center room, you have access to 4 rooms that I can best describe as 15-minute mini-escape rooms, each with a few challenges, some of which are more physical and dexterous in nature. Others are more traditional puzzles, though not as challenging as an actual escape room as they are linear and usually require obvious inputs. My favorite was the final room, which is accessible after finishing every room, including the welcome center. The set, the props, the colors, the cameo Zelda house music, and the atmosphere are well done and evoke the futuristic Wonka candy factory. And the story and lore of the factory, including the mystery of the founder, is interesting to learn about as you progress. That’s probably my favorite part about this mostly decent escape room gauntlet. Unfortunately, there were some glitches during our experience, and rooms had to reset entirely due to it being the 1st day running. This matters too because although each room is a private experience, the setup is public and you may run into others in the narrow hallway heading to other rooms. So keep the public nature of this experience in mind if that is a concern. This is great for families and younger children. The fact that there is ACTUAL candy that you can just chew on or suck on while you complete challenges is charming and sweet! For escape room enthusiasts, time would be better spent in the facility’s amazing 4-hour escape room marathon Save the City. Interestingly enough, Kandy Corp does fit into the timeline and story of that futuristic robotic superhero adventures. So props to City 13 on the escape world they are building! I haven’t seen anything else like it!
