Goin’ down the bayou! This was a very funny and fun room. The puzzles were on theme with the set and the props. Our partner and I genuinely enjoyed the swamp vibe, which is not a common escape room theme. Some of the clues were not as visible to us (maybe it’s better for kids?), but our GM Ryan still provides some helpful hints to get us to the golden gator! 9/10

Overall it’s a good experience, but pricey. We finished the game quickly, which made the $100 price tag for 2 seem less worth it. The room is definitely one of the easiest rooms we’ve completed. Puzzles were fun, but not particularly challenging. The theme of the room is very well realized and integrated.

Gameplay

The puzzles were fun and intuitive. It took the 2 of us about 35 minutes, so maybe one of the shorter games we’ve played. A little disappointing for the price, but ignoring that, the room was fun.

Atmosphere

While not top-notch effects, the theme of the room was very well realized, from the music to the puzzles.

Customer service

Ryan was a good host, and we definitely felt welcome.

Story

The story was ok, but really was pretty thin. It was mostly just solving puzzles with no clear motivation.

Difficulty

Easy

Most puzzles were pretty straight forward, and one of the hardest things about the room is just finding where keys fit.

Game tech

Mechanical

Mostly electromagnetic doors or buttons. Nothing particularly high-tech.

Not a huge room, and you definitely don’t need many people for the puzzles.

A small crawling portion that only one of your team has to do, so if you’re a bigger/ tall person, make sure you have a smaller person with you so you don’t have to do it.

This escape room was VERY well done, and the owners are some of the nicest people we've ever met while doing escape rooms. It's really fun when you can tell the folks who own it and run it are really into the games themselves. First off the set design is fantastic - the boat, dock, and boathouse were all so well done, it made for a very immersive experience (sound effects too). The puzzles and games were all very logical, but very fun and on theme. We had a couple vsibility things (us being on the older side), but the GM was SUPER helpful making it easy for us when could quite see it. The storyline was lots of fn and it is super inventive. I LOOOVE their philosophy at this company that some people like foxy games that are logical and thoughtful and others like very hands on otter-stye games. It made for a VERY balanced room overall and a super fun experience. We did the room with two people in about 50 minutes with about 5 hints (some of which were visibility things). Again this is a super company and a super room. We will be doing the rest of their rooms in the future and look forward to it. If you are passing through the area give this escape room a go, you will be glad you did.

Gameplay

Great mix of puzzles, games, mechanical locks and magnetic.

Atmosphere

The set design was super - one of the best we've done up till now.

Customer service

Amazing - from the moment we walked through the door to the moment we left, we were treated like guests and friends. The owners who were at the location are just super and passionate about immersive games.

Super interesting storyline and the environment totally sold it.

Medium - hard. If you've not done rooms like this it might be hard, but the puzzles were super intuitive.

At least one person needs to be able to crawl.

Other than the crawling, it should be fine. Some places might be a tight fit if you are larger, a few 1-step up level changes.

We played both games at this facility, and this one is the better of the two. The set design is fantastic, and the automation is clever. On our trip to the Carolinas, we played 16 escape rooms, and this one was one of the more memorable ones. I highly recommend it!

Ferrin and Ryan were excellent hosts! The rooms were fun and well designed. The employees wore masks at our request, which means that these rooms are more accessible for at-risk folks. We successfully completed both rooms with 2 people, both with a moderate amount of escape room experience. We asked for a hint in one of the rooms, and the hint was helpful. Thanks for a great time!

There was a lot of reliance on color matching and the environment was quite dark, with mediocre flashlights. One puzzle relied on audio from a low-quality speaker. That said, I'm confident the hosts would accommodate any player needs.

This was our favorite game from this company. It’s also their newest. In this game, they veer away from their typical design rule of giving you props, keys and clues way before you can actually use them. In this one, you find something (like a key) and you can usually use it right away. We like that. This game also has a very good set design, puzzle flow and it was just fun. We loved the ending, too.

This is a super clean room with an immersive setting and completely logical puzzles. There are also a couple of nice touches that make the room even more enjoyable. I'm so glad to see these guys with an eighth successful room...the owners are great!

Really well themed and the owner/host was just fantastic. Might be a touch easy for experienced players, but the environment and gameplay were still quite fun and like all the rooms we’ve done with them, highly suitable for the kids as well as adults.
