Summary

  • Recommend 4-6 escape artists
  • Immersive and spacious AF
  • Challenging puzzles
  • Theatrical presentation was on-point

Amanda, our game master, was very sweet. Ed and Sue, the co-owners, were very warm and friendly. They also gave us a lil peek into their Deadly Assassins room which was very clean and brightly-lit.

Ed explained to us that their focus with their escape rooms was immersiveness. The sounds, lighting and overall experience of being in the room was amazing. The puzzles were challenging. Because it is a spacious escape room, we recommend a bigger team to make it easier. The room was multi-linear and solving puzzles out of order was not detrimental to the flow of the game.

We loved the experience of this escape room because of the immersiveness feel.
