Upon entering the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. You can tell that they put a lot of effort into making the environment intriguing as well as safe and clean. The explanation video for the do’s and don’ts of the escape rooms was thorough and enjoyable, and the staff member did an excellent job ensuring that we knew how to use each kind of specialty lock that the room had to offer.

My wife and I did “The Unexplained Files” room which was the hardest of the options. When we got in the room it felt very unassuming and intimidating at the same time because of all the various combination locks on the drawers and boxes. After about 10 minutes and our first clue, we started finding combinations and the story of the room got deeper and more interesting.

We solved the room with 14 minutes to go and we cannot stop talking about how amazing the room was! We completed the room with 2 people but would definitely recommend this for any group of 2-6 people!

Crack the Code Escape Room was a great experience. The room we did was dark and atmospheric and we had a lot of fun exploring and finding the clues to finish it. I would definitely recommend them to others looking for a good challenge alone or with friends!

I’m gonna start this by saying, I manage a small local escape room so I understand the time, work, money, and all the unique problems that can and will come up during a room/game build. They take pride in their work and it shows! We were in the area and decided to find a nearby escape room to play and kill some time with our teens. This was our first time at this location and it did not disappoint! Overall the atmosphere, lobby, waiting areas and staff were warm and welcoming. We played “unexplained files” (with a group of 5 and it was also their hardest game). The puzzles and story were so fun and super unique! We had to really think outside the box for most of them. The puzzles had a great range of difficulty, which I definitely appreciated. And I loved how it wasn’t linear and we could all be working on something different. I also just have to mention that our game master was the best! Nick was so sweet and made the experience that much better. We had such a great time and we’ll definitely be going back to play their other games!

We had our Men's College Lacrosse Team break up into small groups and compete with who could get out the fastest in multiple rooms. Beth and the staff were incredible. I would recommend anyone who is thinking about an escape room to try out Crack the Code.

We had a great time here! We were greeted by a super-friendly and funny staff member who made us feel very welcome. The room was really clever. We did not break out, but we usually only break out only about half the time, so we were not too surprised. If I had only two dings, it would be these: our room was set up sequentially, so that you had to solve something before moving on to the next -- this meant we could not easily work on things simultaneously, which is something we really like to do, since we're so horrifically bad at escape rooms. And our gamemaster was not the person who greeted us. While he was not rude or anything, he just seemed like he'd rather be anywhere else. We never got a smile out of him, but he did do a good job typing in the hints and staying on top of our progress while we were in the room. And trust me, we needed a lot of help! Haha! Overall, we would definitely visit again, and we would probably try every room but the most difficult one, because if we couldn't break out of the one we tried, then the difficult one would probably be impossible for us. I think it was a great experience, as the rooms were fun with local themes and the owner seems very invested and I'd love to support her business. We've never noticed this place in Staunton before, so for us it was a great add to our itinerary when we come for visits.

This is the second time I have been to your escape room and neither time disappointed! This time I did it as a work teambuilding experience and everyone on our 2 teams had a great time, many individuals had never been to an escape room before. Even better, we all escaped with time to spare! Thanks for a great time. Highly recommend this place for both work or family time together. Beth is great to work with!

I’d been here a few times with a group, and came back for the Stately Manor themed one with my husband. I picked this one for the ambience, which delivered- we just liked being amongst the leather chairs and bookcases. The puzzles/clues were manageable, and all the effects really make it interesting. We thought we were near the end by the 30 minute mark, and I thought maybe it was too easy- but it turned out we were only halfway through! So they definitely plan enough for you to work on, and you do get your hour’s worth. Good creative twists!

We've done two rooms with this company. We recently did Seance and had a fabulous experience. We have done over a dozen escape rooms and this still had elements that we have not previously encountered. Game master had the perfect touch and only gave us a nudge when absolutely needed. All rooms are private, which is the only way we will do an escape room at this point.

The staff was incredible, super friendly and engaging. Puzzles were challenging without being overly difficult and there were several different themes to choose from. The format encourages teamwork and communication, so it's good for kids and adults alike. It was a great experience and I'll definitely be returning!

Beth, the owner, is AMAZING. I need to start with that.
I have been to several of their rooms at their former location. Always feel taken care of. The rooms are fun and challenging. The props / creativity behind some of the puzzles are phenomenal. And I LOVE the if you need to use a 'hint' that they are custom written for you/your group (not just generic Copy/Paste) hints.

So this was my first time at the new location. Beautiful layout, nice and spacious lobby and welcome area. I was looking for some Socically Distant / COVID Friendly Birthday fun and was able to make a 'private booking' during the week. We did two games back to back and we had a blast. It was really fun in both rooms, and getting to chat with the owner about some of the ins and outs of the place. Excited for the next NEW room to be debuted.

Highly recommended. Price is pretty average for an escape room. Their cleaning procedures and precautions made us feel safe.

Thank you!
-Thomas
