Shelby, our lovely and friendly GM was very accommodating and sweet. We thank her for starting off our escape experience on the right foot.

This escape room was a 3rd Gen escape room. You start off in a van and you are then immersed in this world of locating drugs of the cartel. The flow of the room was smooth, multi-linear and the puzzles were fairly challenging and clever. I loved how much technology was used and how it was incorporated in the puzzles. The last moments of the escape room was certainly the climax of the room! Be sure to enjoy every second of it. It was such a great experience! Wow! 

There were some items our group totally missed, but because we are experienced and intuitive, we didn't need these items to progress through the room.

How does this compare to Stash House? Unfortunately, I have not been able to experience the Stash House. I will be sure to update this review when I do.

For now, I can say that this escape room is full of excitement. Just be ready to get your hands dirty! lol.
