Very cool room with good tech and no manual locks. Theming was on point and the storyline flowed well. GM was very passionate about the room and the lobby was top notch

We would highly this room. It has a strong story line with unique puzzles. The game master was very attentive and gave us a couple of nudges. He was sure that we enjoyed the experience and understood the storyline and purpose. The room was extremely well decorated and transformed you back to the old west. There were even some riffles that entertained the guys in our group. After we finished the room, he gave us props to take pictures.

Unique puzzles that fit the theme of the room

I can’t begin to explain how much we enjoyed this escape room! The game play was amazing…the perfect balance of high tech and classic. I’ve done 10+ rooms and I would say this one is an 8/10 difficulty. While my partner and I thoroughly enjoyed the room, we would recommend more than two people, maybe 4-5. Our issue wasn’t necessarily figuring out the clues, just doing it in time. The owner was incredibly kind to give us extra time to finish the room even though we were the last of the night. From the outside, this place is unassuming, but when you get into the room, it’s clear the owners put their love and attention into the room, which is where it matters most. If you’re a painter reading this, I can just imagine the cutest raccoon mural on the building. Lastly, I just wanted to say how lovely the customer service was. There are phone chargers in lockers that they really went the extra step to setup for people. We also enjoyed talking with the owner and hearing how they got into the business. It’s clear that they are very passionate about what they do and they care about the attention to details. We can’t wait for the next room!

Great format. Great mood. Great puzzles. My only gripe is literally my own fault. I forgot that this is a NON-LINEAR puzzle room.

Great escape room that was on the harder side. Immersive room with period pieces and innovative puzzles. You can tell a lot of love went into this room. Helpful lockers to place phones and bags in before the room that included chargers in the lockers for your phones. Not scary and appropriate for children to participate in. GM was welcoming and when we needed a clue, there was a unique delivery method. Highly recommend on any trip near DC. Can’t wait for the second room to be added to this location.

I found it amusing how the game master was so humble about his 'pretty alright' escape room and 'standard' safety video compared to how much fun I had. I have found that I am growing increasingly fond of the Western themed escape rooms lately and how immaculate the decor and music are and this was no exception. I feel like I ought to have dressed like a cowboy to complete the immersion. Each puzzle was intricate, well-executed, and even plot-relevant (although one near the end was really wordy and stumped us because we over thought it), the mechanism to deliver hints was delightful, and the storyline itself was intriguing. I can't wait to come back to see the next in the series!

This is a room with a story, they don't leave you with any open questions, and the room and props was amazing. It isn't really linear but almost. There will be a few moments where you're hinged on one issue waiting, but with three people this only happened twice for us one just a matter of a minute, and the second no more than 3-5 minutes.
