    We did the R rated version with our parents - interesting bonding experience with in laws! It was hilarious but super easy room as the live actors guided a bunch. Don’t pay for the added R rating if you will be uncomfortable with cursing or sex topics. Our sides hurt when we left from all the laughing we did and definitely want to return to Laras and finish all these rooms. The props and set were some of the best.

    I really liked how they do the timer, because it shows you how far in the room you have progressed. One of the puzzles didn’t trigger for us and we were frustrated by that and so wound up taking an unnecessary clue.

    Very unique in how the game starts. Challenging puzzles that flowed with the theme. Hoping to do rooms here again soon!

    Primarily 1st gen locks and hide and seek,but we enjoy that! Not super techy and some clues written on paper. Some cool tricks and makes sure you’re paying attention/remembering what came from where because there’s so many little pieces. Definitely could use some updating because props are worn, but nothing impacted the game play. I felt dumb because we had the right code to a lock but I just didn’t pull on the lock and that wasted some time.

    We came back to do the other two rooms and this time told the GM to not prime us with clues and it was perfect - challenging but they didn’t let us go too far off track. It’s a little spooky but in a good way, but a heads up that it’s dark and eerie.

    One of my favorites. I loved the flow of this room and the different themes. The plot/story line was so interesting and kept to a theme. Multiple tricky spots so you have to pace yourself, because there are a lot of puzzles. There were multiple times we thought we had won but there was another step. We wouldn’t have escaped but they gave us a 5 min handicap because Groot had to leave the room for a bit. We did 4 of their escape rooms and the staff was fantastic for each room.

    Enjoyed the room- lots of “find the key and open lock”.Got more hints than we would have liked so make sure to tell them before that you don’t want hints unless asked if that’s your vibe! Some creative puzzles but multiple ways to get to the answer. This isn’t their TERPECA nominee but we were limited on time and location due to event.

    This is more a tech room than a mechanical room. There is a “surprise” game/puzzle at the end that I found super cool but was mildly tricky with only 2 people (definitely doable with 2 though). This game was more fun than prior escape rooms we had done so we wound up doing 3 more at this location and the rest were all very great. Groot prefers mechanical puzzles so he preferred Gold Rush at this site, while Mermaid tends to like tech so found this one and special Ops the best. Both of us had Prison Break as our favorite even though we failed it.

    For only being one room this had multiple in-depth puzzles. The Game Master was fantastic and stayed in character. There were a few tricks of the puzzles that we would have never gotten without hints, which is slightly frustrating, but also challenging. 2-3 people is enough, we didn’t escape because of our own stubbornness and confusion! We enjoyed the pirate theme and the actual goal of the game which we found unique (you’re not escaping a room, you’re finding the names of lovers).
