This has been my favorite room at this location. I loved the theme and everything flowed so well. Did it with two people and had plenty of time to spare, plus no hints! Definitely recommend this room and this company to escape room enjoyers!

A fun room! My group of three escaped JUST in the nick of time. Only a few lock-and-key puzzles, mostly some pretty clever immersive ones. Somewhat linear overall -- a larger group might feel crowded.

Staff here are always great. This time, we mentioned it was someone's birthday and they snuck a "happy birthday" message into the room!
Story
A fairly standard story (we guessed the "twist") but done well enough, and well-related to the room.

Excellent room. Great aesthetics, and fun puzzles. Despite their recommendations, it’s definitely doable with 1, though you’ll want to bring pen and notebook. Seemed like it would feel best with 2-3. Might be fastest with 4. Eight people would probably fit, but it would be hard for everyone to contribute meaningfully.

A fun game split into two distinct sections with an interesting transition between them. The game is much stronger in the first half than the second, and both myself and my partner in crime wished the initial theme was held throughout.
Gameplay
A couple of interesting challenges. Puzzles in the second half were less interesting.
Atmosphere
Once again the atmosphere in the first half was excellent, while the second half was more traditional and less interesting for us.
Customer service
Absolutely great service and were willing to take our walk-in.
Story
A very interesting hook that morphed into a much more typical story. Could have been a much more unique game if it kept to its guns from the first half.

2-4 would be best for this. The floorplan is on the smaller side so I wouldn’t recommend approaching the upper end of 8, even for more inexperienced parties.

One of my favorites by this group! I love 2nd gen puzzles and this had plenty. It was linear and we felt like it was suitable for 2 players but you wouldn't want more than 4. Overall great gameplay & story!

FUN, unique, and engaging! It had multiple rooms. The puzzles were well themed, and were not your typical “lock and key” puzzles. They were interactive, vibrant, colorful, and used all of our senses (including heat sensors!) That said, I would say that this was on the more challenging side, we only escaped with seconds to spare, but it was very fun.

VERY FUN: it had unique puzzles, several rooms, the puzzles were well themed and more interesting than just “lock and keys”.

This room is phenomenal on first glance when you consider the design, decor, and drama. However, some of the puzzles and mechanics were not so smooth and free flowing as one may hope in their games. It’s important to note that we could be wrong but we were paired with a difficult couple (well just one “alpha” bro) who soured the gaming experience for everyone. It was very obnoxious and cumbersome throughout. Beyond him and one twist that activated one phobia of mine, this room was fantastic! Highly recommend.
Gameplay
The room was incredibly novel and unexpected.

One of the most impressive set designs we’ve experienced out of 35 rooms!

Great room - wasn’t sure what to expect when we started but loved the decor, tech, and variety of puzzles. Completed as a group of 4 and had a great time!

This was the first The Escape Room game my partner I ever played, and we were instantly hooked. This is top notch escape room production quality. This room has some quirky narrative twists and turns which make it quite memorable. Only thing we got caught on, is there is one puzzle that requires breaking something, which was surprising to us.
