Fantastic room!! Def in my top 5 (out of 64) The set was gorgeous and all the puzzles were well-integrated into the story and just the right level of difficulty. All the puppet interactions were charming and genuinely funny. Adam was a spectacular GM 10000/10 An absolutely must-do room ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My advice is not to get hyper fixated on your assigned puzzles, take peaks at what the other teams are up to! There’s enough time, and the GM will let you know if you need to lock in

Really fun room!! Would be prefect for a birthday party or something just generally festive. Lots of really cool effects and a good variety of puzzles. None of them left me frustrated or felt clunky. That said, I wish one or two more puzzles were a bittt more difficult. The amount of puzzles made up for some of them being easy though. The room was super immersive with lots of fun surprises and overall the decor was really detailed and gorgeous!! The real candy in the room was an absolute highlight— I got an extra shot of serotonin every time I solved a puzzle that had some. Also the story was super clear and I was pleasantly surprised how well it flowed with the puzzles. Unfortunately the room uses really noticeable AI in several places that I think ruins some of the whimsy Our GM Haley was amazingggg, very sweet to talk to and always knew when to chime in. She was also very patient with us starting mildly late. If this room had one more difficult puzzle and swapped out the AI art, I’d say it’s 10/10. Until then 8/10

Super strong start, with a slightly weaker end. The intro to the room was super immersive and the beginning was great, I loved all the arcade games! Def a unique take on the concept 🙂‍↕️ that said, the last room was majority mini-game/task puzzles that I’ve seen in many other places. I felt like the room could have used a few more difficult puzzles in general That said, GM was super, super sweet and very prompt with chiming in when we were going in the wrong direction for too long. I forgot his name but he had glasses and stubble :))

The decor of this room slapped!! Super detailed and the puzzles were well integrated. I liked how the story played out and adored all the different roles the players have! That said, the puzzles were pretty easy- a handful of them felt more like busy work? Also there were “do not touch” signs that felt kinda out-of-place. Would be a perfect family room! But if you’ve done a bunch of rooms and want a challenge, I’d look elsewhere. Our GM Jordan was fabulous, super sweet and fun to chat with. He def made the experience better.

A thumbs down feels dramatic when I mostly felt like the room was mid, but for the price I can’t put a thumbs up. There’s a lot of puzzles which is nice! They also connected well so I never felt lost. That said, they’re extremely standard- with nothing standing out. If you’ve done escape rooms before, you’ll have seen similar puzzles a thousand times before. The room was large which is also cool (I liked the ending room!) but the decor was super barren and Lowkey dusty and worn down. You would think this would be an easy theme to buy props for but one room was basically just black walls. The customer service was amazing!! Our GM was super attentive and easy to chat with it- but the room isn’t worth the price.

Absolutely perfect for 2 players!! The set is fantastic, wayyy bigger than ur expecting with lots of spectacular effects and fun decor covering every inch of the room 💙💙 I will say I found the puzzles pretty easy and almost TOO straight forward? I liked that I always knew what to do but I got out with 20 minutes to spare- when I normally get out of rooms within the last 5 min. If the room was harder/longer I’d rate it 10/10 but for now it’s a super solid 8/10

I would not call this a room with an actor. That said, it was a decently fun room- would be spooky for people who don’t do many horror rooms! The staff was really nice!! Lauren ran our game and was super attentive. Forgot his name but a guy with glasses gave us the intro and was super cool to chat with it. Id rate it a 6.5/10 Mild spoilers ahead: It has a lot of fun elements! I REALLY enjoyed the camera aspect- both being able to film and it’s general uses. The puzzles were decent, I generally knew where to turn and how to solve them. The GM was helpful when I didn’t. It’s mostly locks- and not puzzles integrated into the room. Having done a few spooky rooms, this room wasn’t scary at all. I was kinda tense in the first half because it’s dark but once you get used to it, it’s just a mild inconvenience. My friend was super frightened for the whole experience though so I think it depends on your tolerance to the dark. The decor was pretty cool! I will say the darkness was carrying a lot of the tension but I liked the layout. I don’t think it would be spooky if the lights were on (there was noticeable duct tape 💀) The most tense part is the idea of an actor coming out but they barley interact with you which is why I wouldn’t really label this a room with an actor (not like Hope End, The Last Supper, or Zoe is anyways) Random side note, I really liked the lobby lol

Super well done room!! The puzzles were difficult but flowed very nicely and there weren’t any moments where I didn’t know where to turn. Our GM was also super helpful with their advice, they chimed in the perfect amount and were super nice to talk to afterwards. I’m completely blanking on her name but she had short brown hair! I liked the theming of the room in general, it didn’t feel sparse and i liked that the puzzles were integrated into the decor and not just locks. It was a fun traditional escape room ❤️❤️

Having not done the normal treehouse, I had a lot of fun in the Christmas version! The set was gorgeous and the effects were super fun. I will say you can tell the puzzles are part of a temporary room since they mostly were locks and relatively simple. Fully understandable why, it was still a amazing time! I really can’t undersell the set. Also I gotta shoutout our fabulous GM, Cloud. The room splits up the group and we were all calling for help at the same time. Cloud was super attentive and juggled all of us constantly bothering them with ease.

Such a fun room!! I LOVED the immersive set design and creative scares. We did the extreme version. Having done Zoe and a few other scary escape rooms, I wasn’t really scared but I ADORED the innovation of how the actor interacted with us- super unique and it’ll stick with you. One of my friends that’s newer to spooky rooms was really terrified! We didn’t get out in time (they still let us finish) but I wouldn’t say any of the puzzles were overly difficult? Everything flowed together nicely. And the game-master (Dreu) was super attentive when we needed help. The only mild thing I would say is I wish the speaker was slightly louder because I kept asking them to repeat the clues. Also kudos to our actor, Ben! Really got active 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

This was such a great experience!! Super under-hyped room- I was surprised how scared I felt having already done Zoe and Weeping Witch and thinking those would be peak spooky (Id say Zoe is scarier but not weeping witch) The actor was spectacular!! My friend kept trying to get him to smile and he was amazing at staying in character. The decorations were also super well done (specifically the additional rooms), and all of the puzzles were challenging but not frustrating. Also they let us meet their canine coworker! I don’t remember his name but he was very cute.

I did this room over a year ago, and I’ve done many rooms since but I still think of this room as the best one I’ve ever done. The actress was spectacular and the decorations were so realistic and immersive. You’re sucked into the story literally the moment you step foot into the building- let alone the room itself. All of the staff was so welcoming and talented. I don’t have a single negative thought about this room, it deserves all the praise it gets and more. To get the best experience I really recommend engaging with the actress as much as possible!!
