The Last SupperQuest TavernEscape roomIRLThis room is aptly named (no spoilers). Don’t bring anyone who gets frightened easily or does not enjoy an adrenaline rush. This game will keep you on your toes and make you run for your mummy. There is an actor in this room and it is crucial to the experience. If you play this game, be prepared to be silly, scared, and conniving.

Sugar RushLegacy Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLPresentation was weak. It felt like we were in an office with some furniture and decals stuck on the walls (which we were).
