First of all - Kelly was a badass game master! There was alot to do with just 2 people but if you love locks and puzzles this is the room for you! Classic non linear escape room with quality set design. 10/10 would recommend.

SO HAPPY WE PLAYED THIS GAME TODAY!!!!! James (who was our game master/actor for cornstalkers at the Orlando location), elevated this from an escape room to an experience for us. His character was so funny and so so in place for the story of this room - and he continued as a different character to verbally give us help during play. (Some Jack of all trades stuff right there) The game itself was a FUN and well done play - there were a few moments where we did have to ask for help, but everything made so much sense in the end. The usage of space was really cool and it felt like a really big space for the two of us! Unique and challenging puzzles and even a scented atmosphere🥹could make a grown man cry (jk but I really enjoyed playing this game)

The rooms at this location of The Escape Ventures are not quite as elaborate as the rooms at the other locations but they are still enjoyable. I really appreciated the non-linear nature of this room and the element of choice that was incorporated.

An excellent room for Fantasy genre enthusiasts! The room played out well in a nonlinear fashion, which can be great for larger groups. Personally, doing the room with 2 players was perfect; we split up, but didn’t have to. I loved the highly detailed theming and overall gameplay. The story made sense and followed a logical progression.

The GM knew and had a workaround. All the was malfunctioning was visual feedback when a puzzle was correctly answered.

Not in the room, but the game master does an in-costume entry spiel.

Majestic and sensational! I loved every minute of this magical fantasy D&D-inspired room. It’s a nonlinear room with very logical flow. I never got too lost or confused with the many puzzles and locks to open. Dragon Challenge: A Hero’s Choice culminated in a memorable ending. Hail to the heroes and to the GOAT!

The company will be replacing all their rooms soon, so do this ASAP before it’s gone! One of my favorite rooms I’ve done. Great theme and puzzles. Not hard, just delightful.

  • The puzzles felt chunky and tangible. The challenges were thematic... far exceeds what you’d expect

  • ... we were impressed with how much work clearly went into this room.
