    Probably the best escape room I’ve ever done. And what makes this one so unique is that it’s an escape room/ immersive theater hybrid. Just so beautiful and well thought out in every aspect. Also, my brother and I (both experienced escape roomers) were able to complete this room, just the two of us.

    This room blew me away! Beautifully decorated, well designed puzzles that made sense within the world you’re in. Just gorgeous. So well done. I can’t say enough positive things about this hidden gem of an escape room! And the owners are fantastic!

    Such a fun and unique room!! It’s worth pointing out though, that this may not be the best room for beginners. There is a 4 person minimum, but I was able to do it with two other people because we’re all experienced escape roomers. It’s not so much that the puzzles are super difficult, there’s just a LOT of them, so every team member needs to be able to pull their weight so the team as a whole can divide and conquer. You also get 90 minutes for this room, but don’t get too comfortable with that extra time because it still feels like only 60 minutes. We needed every minute but still managed to escape and the payoff is so rewarding!

    Did the R- rated version and it was stressful, heart pounding fun!! The couple that owns this place knows what they are doing and are clearly passionate about escape rooms and haunts in general. Creepy decor, fun puzzles and great time to be had by all!

    Just thinking about this room infuriates me. My brother and I (both experienced escape roomers) failed this room but I don’t even like to consider it a loss because it was pretty much unsolvable. Multiple puzzles malfunctioned and requires our GM to physically come into the room to fix them. One of those puzzles wouldn’t work after we had input the correct code several times and then made us rethink everything and try a bunch of incorrect codes, thus wasting our time. The worst part was towards the end when we had to try and extract a key from a device on the wall using a magnet. The magnet was NOT strong enough!! After we lost and our GM came in, I brought up that stupid magnet and she said, “yeah…. I’ve spoken to the owners multiple times about it not being strong enough but they never do anything about it.” Ummm…. WHAT?!?!?!?! Charging people to play an unplayable room is the worst escape room offense I can think of. Don’t even waste your time and money on this ridiculous room.

    The best thing about this room is the beautiful scenic decor. It’s stunning. There were also a couple of enjoyable puzzles. Otherwise, I found this room to be frustrating because there was zero organic flow to the game. You are only allowed 3 hints, which I consider terrible customer service because people are spending their hard earned money for a fun experience. And of course escape rooms should be challenging but if people are stuck and have already used up their 3 hints, are they honestly supposed to just wander around aimlessly for the remainder of the game?? A couple of the puzzles were riddle-based and the answer was only available by using 1 of your precious 3 hints. People should not be expected to be good at solving riddles and the solution should be located somewhere in the room. A lot of puzzles/clues were handwritten and were faded and very hard to read. One puzzle did absolutely nothing once solved. And the strangest thing of all was that it seemed to just abruptly end once we were 30 minutes in and I placed some items in a certain spot and there was an announcement that we had successfully won the game. Again, no organic flow, just a seemingly random series of puzzles peppered with red herrings. Such a shame that it was so beautifully decorated because the puzzles definitely did not match that level of quality.
