The host and experience were so wonderful! My son is a HUGE Escape Room fan and we were visiting from overseas. We weren't planning on doing an escape room, but tucked in to wait out the rain. It was so much fun for all of us and the staff were truly amazing!

Really enjoyed our experience here. We did a few different rooms and there's a really high production value in each and you can tell the staff really enjoy working there. They're all there to make sure you have a really good time - Mark and the other 2 staff we met were super lovely. Would definitely visit again.
