Super fun game! Played with my wife and our two young kiddos (8 and 11) and the variety of puzzle types gave everyone the opportunity to shine. Loved finding an escape room that we could take our kids to. Itβs clear that the owner cares about his games.

Thanks for coming in tonight and I'm glad you had an enjoyable experience! Zookeeper is a game that is very much designed for beginners and kids, so the linear puzzle flow is there to cater to those types of players. I try to communicate that on my website, but I am not sure if you're the one who made the booking so you might not have known that going into the game. Either way, I'm sorry you weren't able to engage with your whole group like you wanted. For future reference, I think yall would really enjoy Rockstar which is a bit more challenging and bilinear so there's more opportunity for whole group interactions :)

Extremely kid friendly room with interesting puzzles for all ages. Puzzles are on the easier side but still fun to solve. The little surprise reward in the end is a sweet touch.

I'm so glad you had a fun time, even with the easier difficulty :) As a puzzle designer, I believe that just because a puzzle is on the easier side doesn't mean that it can't still be fun and interesting.

I enjoyed this room as an experienced player but would easily recommend it for first time room escapers. This is kind of experience you want first time player to have. Fun, plenty of aha moments, cute design, great game master that keeps you on track and great propsβ¦ the kind of game that inspires you to play more escape rooms. Was actually a very good solo experience. Glad it was 70 minutes because I probably wouldnβt have finished it in 60 because there are a lots of puzzles!
Gameplay
As a solo player, I had a lot of fun! Technically a liner game but didnβt feel linear. I like how you could easy track your progression.
Atmosphere
Cute room. Loved the handmade touches like the birds! Good audio.
Customer service
Daniel was excellent at anticipating my needs as a solo player.

So. Frickin. Adorable. This is a perfect room to bring a new player or young player to as their first introduction to escape rooms while also being an enjoyable room for experienced players to appreciate. Clear puzzles, clever theming and an overall good time.

An absolute gem in the Tacoma area β€οΈ A very fun game. Very clear presentation of different puzzle paths and great mix of puzzles. Very solid props. No wear and tear, very well taken care of. A lot of effort was put into these games, and you can absolutely tell. Definitely on the easier side and great for first timers or couples. The owner Daniel is a great guy and made our experience extra special π Go play this game!

Very good multilinear, choose-your-own adventure

Thank you Ryan! I am so glad you had a great time with Zookeeper! It means a lot to me that someone as experienced as you can still have a lot of fun in a game built for beginners :D

My family (of 3 with an 8 year old) have done many escape rooms together and we REALLY loved playing both Rockstar and Zookeeper! We did them in back to back days and Daniel, the owner/game master/builder, was AMAZING both times! Very sweet and very passionate about his business. Zookeeper was an easier room with 5 puzzle tracks you can complete in any order but only one at a time. Fun for kids and first timers! Rockstar was harder with an even more great set/prop/puzzles design. Definitely recommended for experienced puzzlers or larger groups. Still kid friendly but harder puzzles so beware. Can't wait till more rooms get added to do some more! Favorite rooms in all of Tacoma! (Yes we have done most of the ones in Tacoma)

Color puzzles but the color isn't the only way to associate what you need for most making it accessible still. Sound puzzle but has a deaf alternate.

This was such an amazing escape room, I think Daniel is such a creative game creator that uses the most out of every resource he has! Can't wait for future escape rooms. Also Bria was an amazing game master and was smooth with the clues.
