    This is the best of the very best. I cannot stress enough how absolutely incredible this experience is from top to bottom. There is not a single weak point. My group and I have done 18 escape rooms across America in just the past week and not only is this the best of the pack, it has unseated my prior top room of all time. I’m so thankful for the cast that created an atmosphere that supported the viewer in more ways than one. (also the cocktail, fortune, and tarot reading added so much to the experience if you can add it you must)

    Now THIS is my kind of creepy room. You can find kidnapping rooms everywhere but this one takes the cake. I loved the flow of this game. Every single solve was cathartic and gave me that buzz a good room gives me. I cannot recommend this enough. And for my scaredy cats, this is a good one for you! No jump-scares, and the lighting is great from start to finish, but you still get that goosebumpy feeling we all love to hate.

    This game gets a like because of the set design and a few fun solves but, much like many of their other rooms, a lot of their puzzles seem to just be difficult enough to make you waste time rather than get a satisfying solve.

    I love this room, but more important, I love this establishment. Wesley was a fantastic Game Master and his younger brother (not his twin but basically is) had such a great vibe about them it made the final day on our cross country escape room tour that much more special. The room was beautiful, technically advanced, and the puzzles were the same. Aside from the smallest nudge in the right direction, we didn’t need anything to understand the room flow. Although the game was nonlinear, we very rarely got lost, and often felt even more excitement when we realized what was next on the list for us to accomplish. I love a family owned business, and this is one of the best families out there doing it. We’ll be making the drive from LA again the second they have another room available.

    I’m a scaredy cat, no question, but I can power through a scary room if the puzzles and solves are satisfying and make sense with the storyline. This room did not deliver on that for me. The set was stunning, I was absolutely immersed, but the jump-scares were contrived and the storyline just didn’t do it for me.

    First of all, we loved our GM Katherine! The vibe in this room is great, and started really strong but there were a few things I wish were different. Aside from that I loved this location and will be back soon!

    I really like this venue and their staff! The sets in both of the rooms we did today (Blackwell Manor and Super Secret) were stellar. Unlike Super Secret, I felt like the set outshined the puzzles in Blackwell Manor. The puzzles didn’t wow me, and how they matched to the storyline were just okay, but I still enjoyed the room as a whole.

    Same venue, same story. The set design outweighs the puzzle design. If that’s your thing, you’ll love it. It is not mine.
