    Diamond Heist

    Diamond Heist

    Do you even escape?

    • Escape room
    • IRL
    This room as since closed, but if you find it open somewhere else, it's worth doing. It was one of our first escape rooms so we had no idea what were were doing, but we still had fun. The gamemaster let us stay in there because there was no one behind us and we still didn't escape, but it was completely due to our inexperience. The police sirens in the background added to the pressure. We had fun!

    5 Wits is a different kind of escape game where they is no set outcome or time limit. We did all 3 at this location back to back, and had a blast. I would highly recommend going during the week so that there isn't really anyone waiting on you. This particular room was very intense (no spoilers) and might be a little much for the younger players. Very nicely done and I highly recommend it.

    This room was a surprise. The gaming elements were very widely varied and challenging, but not too hard. We had 3 adults and a 5 year old and we escaped. The theme was awesome and the gamemaster (owner) clearly loves what he does. Afterwards, he talked to us about the room build and everything he did himself. He has a great setup and we will definitely come back to do the 2nd room.

    This room was small, but packed a punch. I loved the theme and the puzzles were very well done. The business was very kind to my 85 year old mother who likes to watch us play but can't really participate unless she is sitting down. They made sure she had a place to sit and she was even able to help us with some of the clues. I loved this game and we were so excited to escape.

    We really enjoyed this room. The theme and decor were very well done and you really felt like you were in a 50's diner. We got hung up on a couple things but it was because we didn't completely explore the room before we starting trying to solve puzzles. We know better than to do this, but we were so excited about the theme. Very well done! We will be back.

    This room is small, and a tight fit for the 4 of us, but so that not to give a spoiler, it was obvious why. It's fairly dark in there so you need some flash or phone lights. We were fairly new to escape rooms when we did this one so we stumbled a few times, but we thoroughly enjoyed it. We ended up escaping and the end was worth it.

    Gnome and Raven is next level amazing when it comes to escape rooms. We had 4 people and it kept us hopping the whole time. The props and atmosphere is incredible. I don't want to give anything away, but I highly recommend this one. You won't be disappointed. This is my very favorite escape game I've ever done.

    The room was decorated so well, it felt like you were in the middle of Christmas. Beautiful decorations and vibe. There were a lot of items they didn't want you touching or moving, but they told you ahead of time and it was actually nice to know as to not waste time. We had a 6-year old with us and she LOVED it. Part of the game involved toys which was so fun for her.

    This room was older and some of the decor was dated and could use a refresh, but we enjoyed doing it. We purposely chose this room since we had a 6 year old with us and didn't want anything scary. She was able to help and had a lot of fun doing it. Non-linear and fairly easy to navigate.
