Cool room. Nothing over the top or incredibly unique but still had a good time. Only had one puzzle that was complicated, the rest was pretty straight forward.

Cute, candy-themed romp through a forest and candy factory. Tech-based puzzles seamlessly integrated with the adorable set and parallel solving ensured we were engaged throughout. Edible candy was a welcome bonus, and our GM was fantastic.

Lots of fun. We did think the background music was a little too loud and so we couldn’t hear the hints, and the room was exceptionally dark for a lighthearted candy-based game, but aside from that, we really enjoyed ourselves.

Very cute room with a sweet theme. Don't overthink the puzzles - they are clever, but not difficult. The team loved the candy that was in the room to eat! We were eating candy and solving puzzles - it was a really fun time, and another fun room from Escape Games at the River!

This was a very cute but rather easy room. Luckily we had brought a newbie friend who was worried about being stressed - not a problem here as this was just plain fun.

This room is super cute! Enthusiasts may complain that it's too easy, but it's very fun and family-friendly. Since it's not difficult, it may be ideal for enthusiasts to only play as a team of two.

The Great Candy Challenge is a very fun and well designed escape room for the whole family. Our group of all adult players enjoyed it a lot. The puzzles and story were clever, creative, and made us smile. This game is more on the easy side, so if you’re an experienced group, I would say 2 players is the right number. We had 4 players and got out after 35 minutes.
