You find yourself in a dimly lit laboratory, standing before a towering machine that hums with potential energy. The Architect, a brilliant inventor, urgently explains that a massive storm is brewing outside and that its energy is the key to powering his latest creation. But time is running out - in just one hour, the storm will reach its peak and the window for harnessing its power will be gone. With the fate of your team in the balance, the Architect implores you to assist him in completing the machine and use it to escape through time!

22 escape rooms

Fair warning: this is a non-linear room. If you prefer a logical set of moves, this might not be the room for you. If you can set that aside, it's FANTASTIC. The technology is remarkable - light bending, hot/cold thermals - all very cool. It still has a good mix of traditional physical puzzles too (for escape room traditionalists). Great for a large group because of the nature of the non-linear puzzles - you can have a few people working on multiple things at a time, and the room is large enough to accommodate this. Two people might have a tough time. One person likely would not be able to complete this at all. Overall, the praise is well-deserved!

Rabbit Hole Recreation Services is definitely worth the trip! We did their three rooms back-to-back and we started with Paradox. Our group had four players, and it was helpful to divide and conquer since the puzzles were nonlinear and some puzzles required different people to make sense of it at times. I am not used to one type of puzzle they had here but upon reflection, this was still a good experience for me to have so I can better understand how their other rooms are designed. The production value is giving steam punk and the mechanics were all tech. The lobby has the same decor. When they say 2-finger strength, one of the puzzles does require more than 2 fingers so you can ask for clarification if you are unsure. A must experience for puzzle lovers!

25 escape rooms

One of the more interesting rooms we've done. We recommend roughly 5 people because there is ample room and multiple heads for each puzzle came in handy at times. It's not especially linear outside of a few things and people can find their own tasks, but this will require at least two sets of hands for some puzzles.

Wow this was a great experience today! I've done a dozen escape rooms, most with our five kids, currently 6 to 16 years old. This is easily in our top three, might be our favorite yet. The Tardis-like structure in the photo for this room and the time machine thence is what got us here, nearly an hour drive from home. It was worth it! The host was very friendly, the room theme and atmosphere was great, the clues and steps had a great variety. We the parents stepped back this time to let the kids run the show. Only once did they get truly stuck and we were able to figure out how to get unblocked. That's not to say it's at a level that's easy for kids - or kids are great at escape rooms now. If this was our first (or tenth) escape room we'd likely have needed hints. We competed this fun room in 44 minutes. Even the waiting room is fun here! We'll be back to do another room.

Best bathrooms at any escape room I’ve been to! Spacious, inclusive, themed with decorative touches. Bravo! I knew this place would be great from the lobby decor and bathroom before even stepping into the escape room. One of the best set designs and most unique puzzles out there!
