Loved this room. My wife and I did all 5 of the Netherworld rooms in one day. This room and Sasquatch were our favorites. Like all Netherworld rooms, this one is very well themed with a cool dramatic ending. The number and types of puzzles in this one was reasonable for two people. Our GMs Parker and Kay were great. Kay did a great job providing hints and keeping us on track for this room. Lots of puzzles that fit the theme.

What an amazing and immersive game! Soooo many puzzles, really required our team of 2 to split up. Great ending - like every game at Escape the Netherworld!

I just loved this game. Tons of puzzles, lots to love. Some great bells and whistles. I do not know why this game is not getting more love from the Escape Room community. Great set some fantastic puzzles and just a fun experience. Great theme. It's nice to be able to play a game at this facility without the scare stuff.

the locks were tricky and held us up often as we would have the right code but the lock would not open.

After seeing all of the positive reviews, I had high hopes for this room, even to the point that my group was willing to pay 60 DOLLARS A PERSON. This was easily the most expensive room we've done, and to be honest, it was super underwhelming for the price. They said it was priced high because it was a private experience, which I've done much better private rooms for $45 a person. Here's what I didn't like about the room, as well as some things I liked: What I didn't like: 1. Most of the room was basic number combo locks, which is fine, but for this price point is unacceptable. 2. Most of the locks were broken/didn't work right. Our game master had to come in multiple times to fix certain things (you would think a company that charges $60 a person would be able to afford new combo locks). 3. The clue system was weird. We were allowed 3 "cheat" clues, which meant they would just give us the code to a lock. In my opinion, this shows the room was poorly designed. 4. Some puzzles gave you a code, but no way to figure out the order. So most of the room felt like trial and error (again, bad design). 5. This room threw way too much stuff at you at once, and had minimum table space, which caused disorganization. Here are some things I liked: 1. The set was well-built and cool. It even smelled like pineapples when we walked in there, nice touch 2. The staff was super friendly, and they all seemed passionate about their job. 3. There were some cool effects and one cool puzzle. My favorite part was the soundtrack. It brought the theme together. Overall, my main issue with this room was the price. If it were priced around $40-45 a person, I would have enjoyed it more. When we left, my group couldn't help but feel a little ripped off. My recommendation is to go to The Escape Game; they have much better rooms for half the price.

Another great room from this company. This hit the mark on so many levels. First off, an amazing set that really strikes you the moment you walk into the room. Are you in an escape room or at a luau? The puzzles have a nice flow and were intuitive. Like all of their rooms, the ending is very dynamic! There’s no way for me to say more without spoiling any surprises, but suffice to say, it’s epic! The Bigfoot room probably has a slight edge over this one, but it’s pretty close. If you can only do some of their rooms, I would put these two above the other two, although, as I have said before, you should stay and do all of them.

We embarked on a tropical getaway unlike any other at Escape The Netherworld's Tiki Island room. The theme was not merely a generic "tropical islands" setting, but a fully immersive experience that incorporated the mystical presence of tiki gods. Every element within the room, including the character portrayed by our game master, seamlessly aligned with the island hut theme. The puzzles were ingeniously crafted to complement the setting, with one particular puzzle featuring cutting-edge technology that we had never encountered in an escape room before. There were quite a few locks in the room, but the way they created the atmosphere made up for that. The way they used light and sounds for some fairly spectacular effects that really got your attention and focus was some of the best we've seen in a room so far. The way the story developed through the room was excellent, increasing the tension and excitement as the time went on. The conclusion was far from ordinary, offering a showstopping finale that left a lasting impression.

The room is recommended for four people or experienced players. The two of us (with close to 30 rooms each under our belts) solved it within time with some nudges from the GM.

There is A LOT to do in this room. It’s definitely nonlinear. The room really immerses you into the theme. There’s always that element of surprise at the end which makes rooms here so great.

This was an extremely fun room with plenty to do to keep everyone engaged. There were an extensive amount of locks and we’d have liked to see a bit more variety. GM was fantastic and we loved the room.

Not necessarily a lot of exercise but there will be a decent amount of bending down and moving around the room.
