AMAZING ESCAPE ROOM! Emmanuel was our game master and he was the absolute best, so incredibly nice. The story was cohesive with tricky puzzles, non-linear in some rooms so if you have a group you can split up to knock out some puzzles separately. Highly recommend this room and checking out this company! I have been to about 5 rooms with them and each one is equally as amazing.

Accessibility

Hearing - Everything was clear and articulate. Everything paused during listening bits. Vision- One section with very dim light but hosts allowed magnifying glass with light. Otherwise much better lit than most rooms.

Easy to find location

No

The parking entrance has no signage directing to the location and it is blocked by a wall. Trust the GPS.

Lovedddd this room!! So much fun!! So many puzzles, lots of nonlinear puzzles which is great for bigger groups. Loved how the story flowed throughout the 60 minutes. Emmanuel made the experience even better!! He’s so kind and fun and truly a great person that represented the company so well! Left us wanting more, so we booked another room!

Such a great room. We came down to the wire on this one. I loved the storyline integrated into the room and our game master Jamie was amazing! We also guessed the correct murderer at the beginning of the game.

Ink & Ashes is a story driven, non-linear room that is perfect for a group of 4. Murder mystery enthusiasts would love this room. There were enough puzzles for our group to collaborate and solve together. I would say it the difficulty was about medium. We solved the case with 14 min left and had no hints.

This room is awesome! The storyline and the puzzles are 10/10. I think just about anybody would love this room. Emanuel was the definitely the number 1 host that our group has encountered. He was the best!
