This mad scientist is certainly eccentric—and you’ll need to lend him a hand with his greatest creation yet! The Captain is hellbent on bringing his robot Javier II to life, and his usual assistant has proven to be unhelpful. Your team must put your lab skills to the test, build the robot, and learn what Maniacal knows about the mythical Red Door…

Too short of an escape room for adults. May be too easy altogether. Overall not bad, but don't expect there to be too many things to do....

1 escape room

It's a half hour single room. I was there with my 13 year old who has done three escape rooms and my 9 year old who has done one. 9 thought it was fun, 13 thought it was too easy, which it definitely was. We finished in 15 minutes. There's really only one thing that requires any cleverness and it's not much; everything else is very straightforward​. It might be good as a way to introduce younger kids to the idea but if you've ever done an escape room before, it's definitely not worth the $80.

A great room for kids and intro to escape rooms! Only one room and lock heavy but pretty straight forward and enjoyable!

This is a really basic room. At this location it’s kind of shoved in a corner. It’s only one room. It’s very simple but even then some of the puzzles feel meh, I might recommend this for a beginner but overall it’s mediocre at best

This room has a robot and we really, really wanted to like it. But alas, we found it perplexing at times. Escape rooms however, are our thing so who are we to judge? Go check it out and judge for yourself.

Short easy game, but showing wear and several parts were broken. Good entry point for beginners and those taking small children

This is the 2nd escape room we've done here, and one of 3 Red Door locations we've been to. As usual, very high production values, great time. Plus, it's in a mall, so you can go straight to the food court afterwards! Great place! Since this is a 30 minute escape room, it's smaller than the rest, but there's still enough to do.

Extremely easy — really far too easy if you have escape room experience. Would skip. With 2 people, we got out in 5.5 minutes which feels a little silly for a 30 minute experience and the price!

Very easy mini game. Would be great for people who have never done escape rooms before. One element was broken but they informed us they are waiting for the replacement, but it being broken did not affect us in completing the game and there was not wasted time around it. Nothing exciting but again would be great for beginners
