Our family was in town recently to help celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. Grampa and I took all the grandkids to the Escape Room so that our kids could enjoy a 'date night'! WE HAD A BLAST! Our Grandkids ages range from 16 to 8. We went into the Wizard's Apothecary. It was just perfect for us (AND we escaped!!!) I would highly recommend this adventure - especially as a 'bonding' experience for grandparents and their grandkids! It was a hoot!

Great fun! Room was pretty challenging. Staff was helpful and friendly. Would highly recommend! Was unsure how working with people from another party would be, but once it started everyone got into it and was working together as if we were longtime acquaintances.

Joey (Manager) was absolutely amazing. We had only one day and we wanted to try all 4 rooms. He helped make that happen. All the rooms were very well done. We've done over 60 rooms and these are some of the best for immersion. All the staff we encountered were super friendly. We will definitely be back! Thanks for a great day!

This was my first time doing an escape room and I had a blast. My daughter has done several and wanted the family to do one together for her birthday. I'm glad she picked the Sherlock Holmes room, loved it. Highly recommend this escape room. Lilly, our monitor was great. The only down fall is street parking. We actually were lucky to find a parking spot right across from the building.

My favorite part of the escape room was trying to escape. The room was a little tricky but the creativity made it exciting!

My friends and I did the Sherlock Holmes room for my birthday and it was super fun! The staff were really nice and did a good job getting us started. Sherlock is my favorite literally character and the escape room did him justice. We had 10 people (2 more than the recommended max) and it was still challenging. We got out with about 10mins to spare. We all had fun and plan to come back and do the other rooms.

Hi' I'm trying to plan an 11 yr olds birthday celebration. Is this a good location for kids? If so, which room would be the best? None of them have tried this yet?
Hello! We've had plenty of birthday parties for that age range. We also just released a new birthday party package! You can read more on our website or call our Special Events Department at 1-800-288-8387. We hope to see you soon!

Thanks for the pricing information. How much is the processing fee? This information is not on the website. It just says tax and processing fee will be added to your order, but never specifies the percentage or amounts. Pretty frustrating.

The fee is the standard 3% for the online credit card processing. We hope you visit!
