    Okay every time I go here I have a wonderful experience and look forward to their rooms and this one was no different! It was one of the most impressive "built from scratch" rooms I've ever seen! If you're a fan of Nightmare Before Christmas I think they did a really good job capturing the vibe of the movie without copying it. The puzzles were hard but I guess it is listed as hard so that's to be expected but the atmosphere was just amazing!! Literally all the small touches from it's smelling like Christmas when you walk in to the insane transition between Christmas and HalloweenTown the room captured all my senses!! I also really loved the way the story kept progressing and the fun twist at the end! 😉 a very unique room that lives up to Locked Inn standards! I highly recommend this establishment now that I've done all their rooms I've not had one complaint.

    Okay, let me start with this room had so much production value and looked SO impressive! The staff was so sweet and chatted with our family after. I guess my problem was I just didn't love the room. It was hard to follow along with what we were supposed to do so it didn't feel very intuitive. Mostly though, right when the story was starting is when the game ended and we were all surprised because there were so many puzzles left unfinished. When we asked about them they said that those puzzles are for episodes 2 and 3 so it felt weird we've already seen many of the puzzles but didn't get to do them. So....I do recommend you try it for yourself because the room is polished looking and the service is great but it felt incomplete and wasn't my favorite room overall. I don't think I'll return for the next episode.

    It was an okay game. I'd recommend one of their other rooms first. This was our third room of the day and my least favorite. It did, however, have some really cool tech items that made it feel authentic to the story.

    This was one of three rooms we did here and was my favorite of the day. Had lots of cool tech and the set design was great. It helps to know before you go in that you are allowed to use your phone for a flashlight. Would have saved us a bunch of time. Still got out though with 7 minutes left. I recommend this room it was cool and our gm was too.

    I don't even know where to begin. There are so many good things about this room I think it might be my favorite game I've ever played! I've done maybe 40 or 50 so far so not super expert but this one blew all the others out of the water! I called before I booked and ended up talking directly to the owner who was so friendly and accommodating. A+ customer service! She was the one that ended up greeting us the day of as well. She told me she built it during covid and sometimes I worry about older rooms being beat up or feeling grungy or old. The room was very well maintained especially considering all the stuff was from the '80s. You can tell she puts so much of her heart into her business. Anyway the room itself has some surprises that I've never seen and totally got us right from the start! Three members of our party were not alive in the '80s so we were worried they wouldn't get some of the puzzles but they were intuitive enough that you can make the same conclusions without actually knowing 80s trivia. Now..... for those of us that were alive in the 80s....the nostalgia was INCREDIBILE!! Honestly I couldn't stay focused because I was enjoying it so much. Also, it's a large room so for sure bring at least 5 people, you'll need it. This room is A MUST if you are in the area!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE!!

    This room had some cool set design so I liked that, the puzzles themselves were REALLY hard to make a connection from one to the other and I still don't understand how we would make certain leaps as to why we should do what we did. It's a small room that seems very cookie cutter like most of the chain rooms. Either way, it's still fun but its not my favorite room I've done for sure. I wish there was a "meh" rating over the thumbs down.

    It was an okay room. It was weird they marketed it as an '80s room online but it was really just a movie theater room. Maybe bc they were trying to compete with the other '80s room in the area? If it wasn't that it was marketed as one thing to me and I got there and it was completely different I probably would have given it a thumbs up. It was fun enough but I think I like their Harry Potter room better. Mostly they're just kind of the corporate escape rooms you get with a chain but they were still entertaining.

    I loved this room! Of the 30-40ish rooms I've done it's my top 5. I loved the environment and how they used sound and lighting to make it more immersive. Highly recommend!

    We went and did all three rooms in one day. Of the three rooms we did this was my favorite. The set design was cool, I also liked the ambient sound in the background. The game master wasn't the best. Definitely was inattentive and didn't pay attention to when we asked for hints and showed up to our first room 15 minutes late. Either way if you're going to go here this is the room I would recommend although it is a bit pricey for what it is.
