“A wonderful room. The set, the story, the characters, the puzzles. It struck a balance between cartoony and realistic that created just the right vibe. Everything just worked. There was no specific standout thing. It was all about how well all the bits worked together. Highly recommended.”

“I thought the buildout was fantastic and the gameplay was a lot of fun. There were like 2 puzzles that I didn’t really care for but others were really fun. Also for me lighting was an issue. I felt once you got in the groove of the game you knew what to do next. My 11 yr old really enjoyed it and had things to do too.”

“One of the best sets I have ever seen for an escape room. Like they legit built the facade of the manor in their building. It’s epic and a great way to start the game. This is a more narrative-based game, which is a nice change of pace from most others. Only thing I have to say that’s partially negative- Don’t play with more than 4 people. Parts of the room are small and it gets really cramped with more than 4. Great room, great story, great location”

“A great take on a mob-themed room. I very much enjoyed the physicality of many of the challenges. There were multiple plot twists which kept the excitement high through the experience. And a fabulous transition between different parts. So good!”

“The room atmosphere was good, the puzzles were in line with the theme. The tech involved did not seem out of place with the era of a Wild West saloon. Room was fun to do without being excessively difficult.”

“I love seeing the difference between family-ran escape rooms and larger company ones. This is the former, and you can feel the family-run charm in every moment. I have never smiled so much before the game even started. The owners/GMs do an incredible job getting into character and immersing you in the game before it starts. Additionally- I’ve never seen another escape room with this type of theme, so I appreciate the uniqueness. What they may lack in high-tech puzzles, they definitely make up for in friendly service and fun games”

How Do Escape Rooms Work?
Remember those point-and-click adventure games where you’re locked in a room and have to solve puzzles to find the key and escape? Those online games were the original inspiration for the live escape rooms you’ll find all across the world today. An escape room is an immersive experience where you (and your team of 2 or more people) are locked in a room with a series of puzzles for 60 minutes. To escape and win the game, you have to look for clues, solve the puzzles, and find the key. While most escape rooms only give you 60 minutes to complete the challenge, others may have shorter or longer time limits. Many venues are private rooms where you and your team are the only players. However, some places may pair you with other groups who booked a slot at the same time. And don’t worry about getting stuck, asking for hints on a difficult puzzle is totally normal. While the original escape room (created by SCRAP in 2007) had a fairly simple aesthetic, today’s escape games often take you into a different world. Artistic set designs, secret doors, and unique interactive elements are all part of the fun. It’s like an adventure game that you can interact with in real life. But if you’re hoping to preview any rooms before you book a game somewhere, detailed images and videos can be hard to find. To keep the puzzles a secret and preserve the experience of seeing the room for the first time, most venues only offer a few photos or a short trailer about the room’s theme or narrative. The only way to know what it’s like is to go and try it for yourself!
