Stranded in the Ozarks as a catastrophic storm approaches, you and your team search desperately for cover. Thankfully you happen upon the deserted home of a paranoid survivalist who has prepared for just such an emergency. Consistent with his suspicious nature, he has safeguarded his shelter. You have only 60 minutes to follow the clues, gain access to the storm cellar and contact emergency services for help. Make haste! You don't have long to reach shelter and brace yourself for the coming Vortex!

Puzzles were short and a bit too simple. Good for kids or beginners. Also pretty tight rooms. We had 7 and it was cramped.

Really enjoyed this room! It was on my radar to do for well over a year now, and glad I made the 3 1/2 hour journey to play!

It was okay. Just lacked in the urgency and immersive-ness categories. We still had fun though. This was a few years ago so they may have improved the game by now. 7/10 game.

The irony of this game is that we were visiting Silver Dollar City nearby when the tornado sirens went off and we had to take shelter. After the "all clear" the park closed for the day and we were lucky to find a tornado themed escape room game. We were paired with couple (pre-pandemic) but managed to solve the game with roughly 10 minutes left. The facility was clean with easy parking.

Great atmosphere and multiple rooms to explore. It's on the challenging side... this one was down to the wire for us. Good production value too. The storms sounds were immersive.

There is a building tension as the "storm" gets closer. Tornado sirens, etc.

We put the final code in and it didn’t register so we think the GM must have pressed the button for us

Interesting game. I enjoyed many of the puzzles. However, they lock up boxes/drawers with multiple locks. This is a HUGE pet peeve of mine as you are not rewarded after a puzzle solve if there are 2 or more locks blocking the reveal. But overall I enjoyed the game.

  • We loved the theme, and several of the puzzles made us giggle with delight.
