Celebrating 2 friends turning 16. We wanted to something different and landed on this. The boys did the Cell Block with a group of 5. They escaped on hard mode and had a great time.

Unfortunately I did not have a good experience here. I did Two to Tango with my wife. The host didn't give us any back story for the room, which is a part of the experience I enjoy. I wasn't really sure what we were doing in the room and what our goal was within the story (are we the couple? are we breaking up the couple?) We were also not given instructions on how to open various locks, which should be standard for introductions. We were also not told that we were literally locked in the room which is a safety concern. The puzzle design was not very good and didn't make a lot of sense. It lacked creativity, a driving force, and a through line. Many of the objects in the room were not used and the set design for the room was not integrated well into the puzzles. There were a handful of puzzles where a number was the solution. In a room filled with numbers, this is frustrating, difficult, and not very creative. Most of the solutions were a matter of guessing and checking. In other escape rooms I have done the puzzles are more intuitive and once you figure out what the clues are pointing to you get a very satisfying "aha" moment and know exactly how to solve it. This was sadly missing from this room. We were frustrated the whole time and especially when the final puzzle reveal was told to us by the host. When we did ask for clues, the host was unable to give them. Instead they just told us the answer to the puzzle which is incredibly frustrating. At a certain point we didn't even ask why what they told us was the answer, we just inputted it so we could get out of the room faster. I also take issue with one of the puzzle designs specifically. It completely relied upon recognizing and sorting objects of different colors. We were never asked if we are colorblind. Thankfully neither of us are, but this lack of accessibility was off putting. Moreover one of the objects was labeled with its color rather than actually being its color. Since it was only one object it came across as very strange, especially when if all the objects had been labelled then it would be accessible to those who can't distinguish colors as well. A couple of the other puzzles didn't seem very accessible and involved things like math, or required excellent eyesight. I prefer escape rooms to rely in internal clues and to be accessible to anyone regardless of their other abilities. During our gameplay we were very distracted by the loud shouting coming from the room over. It turns out that the other room is played in the hallway directly adjacent to ours and involves players communicating between rooms via said hallway. I don't know why it was scheduled during the same time as our session because even with our door closed we could hear them yelling very clearly. For all these reasons I don't think we will be back to this company.

I brought a group of 6 to do the Castaway room, we had so much fun! Our gamemaster Andy was very professional, funny and super sweet. We'll definitely be coming back to try their other rooms!

I did the Cell Block room with my parents, husband, brother, and his girlfriend. I've done a handful of escape rooms and Cell Block was the best I've ever done by far! It was so creative and there are twists and turns. It was challenging, yet we felt like we were making progress the whole time. Our "warden" was wonderful! I didn't catch his name, but he was college-aged. Super kind and flexible when it came to giving us clues. We really appreciated him!
