Mark as done to rate
Y’all ready to get extermuhnatin? Your crew from the Vermin Vanquishers, Sarasota’s premier rodent exterminators, get the call to Spaulding’s Junkyard — called in to handle what ol’ Spaulding himself thought was going to be just a simple pesky rodent problem. A job that should be a quick in-and-out. Set some traps, spray some poison, and grab a cold one on the way back. But the second you step past the junkyard office, somethin’ feels off. Real off. Light’s start flickerin’, shadows move when they shouldn’t, and there’s a low growlin’ comin’ from deep in the scrap heaps. Somethin’ big. Somethin’ mean. This ain’t your everyday rodent. Will you exterminate the beast, or be buried in the scrap heap?

This room was amazing!!! Great use of space and not terribly scary. We were running late and they were still able to accommodate us and are super super nice. Acting was so well done and puzzles were interesting.

This was easily one of my favorite rooms I have done, and I don’t usually like scary rooms (it’s not that scary). The puzzles were unique and the room was quirky and fun!
Gameplay
Puzzles were unique and challenging, but not so much that you get frustrated. Puzzles were in line with the theme! Great job!
Atmosphere
Set design was awesome! Very immersive. I have a physical limitation and had no issue navigating through the room
Customer service
Game master and staff were very friendly and great interaction
Story
Great plot and everything followed it: the set, types of puzzles, etc. One of my favorite rooms!

holy sh!!! this absolutely exceeded all expectations and hype. this room is 1000% worth the trip. firstly, insane that they built such an incredibly detailed and immersive room in a short time. the owners absolutely put their all into this one. the flow was perfect, i was never guessing what to do next or needing guidance, and there was lots to do! they made an excellent use of space here, the room is huge and full of turns and spaces i’d never expect. the mix of puzzle types was super cool. there was lots of diversity. also super scary i was genuinely terrified a LOT during this room lol. i totally enjoyed this room and chatting with the owners afterwards! I would absolutely recommend this to all, do yourself a favor and just play it

My family and I have done many rooms including most of the highly rated ones in the area. This one was great. I was bringing my daughter and her friend and was worried it would be too scary. Not so. I wouldn't characterize it as scary - I would say it was thrilling. The GM was great, the design was great, the theme and effects were great. The puzzles were the perfect amount of difficulty and made sense. This ER location had previously owners and the rooms were just ok. This is the first room re-design by the new owners. They have another opening in October/November 2025. I would highly recommend this room and will be there in October/November when the next room opens.

This room was AMAZING! The set was so well done and it was an immersive experience. The room was just the perfect amount of scary and the puzzles flowed well. The staff was awesome and game master was amazing. I’ve done a lot of scary rooms and have been disappointed. This one kept me on my toes and ready for more. 10 out of 10 recommend!

Wow. After the amount of escape rooms we have done, it’s really difficult to impress us with a new room. WE WERE IMPRESSED. The staff were amazing, the room was themed perfectly, and the jump scares were fantastic. With scary rooms, it sucks when they make the puzzles extremely hard WITH fear. This game was made perfectly. Not too hard, not too easy… genuinely, it was JUST right. The only thing I dislike is that I never get to do this room again. I would recommend this to everyone! I’m so excited to see what this group does in the future!!!
