This room was very dirty and felt poorly put together. One of the workers was in PJs and the other was not professional. We finished the room but they didn't end our time for several minutes because they were distracted. The storyline was cute, but the rooms did not make sense for it. They have a second/hidden room you go into and it felt so out of place. I plan to go back and check out their other rooms, at least, but I do not recommend this room at all.

We had 5 and it felt like too many people. I'd say 4 is ideal.

I'd say younger children could enjoy this, but definitely have some adult brain power in the room.

The sign still says Golden Escapes from a previous owner.

This room would be very difficult for kids despite its themes. Be forewarned!

Gameplay

There was a LOT to work on in this room. There were four experienced ER players in this room and we were pulled in a lot of directions. Not every puzzles made sense, but maybe we didn’t “get it”.

Atmosphere

This is a great room for anyone who loves candy. The first room was thematically perfect. Second room did not seem as focused.

Customer service

Staff was young and inexperienced with customer service

Some pretty cool puzzles and a fun atmosphere, but a lot of puzzles were unpolished and uneven.

Gameplay

Some solid puzzles but some puzzles that were ambiguous or tedious or took extremely long to complete.

Atmosphere

It really looked nice.
