I strongly dislike when rooms are dark for no reason. Locks need upgrading. Game master wasn’t paying attention. Type writer had no ink in it. Very frustrating room.

A Gamemaster makes or breaks the game. Ours was hard too get the attention of, we could hear him talking to coworkers or more clients, but he was not tracking us. When we could reach him we had to go over what we had and had not done to get a clue. The final lock did not work and he saw us put it in correctly and ultimately had to come in. Nice enough gent, but needed more people in the staff to give it the proper attention.

Hi Beckenham! First, I appreciate you taking a few moments to share this review and concern. Next, I am very sorry that this was your experience, this is not what we want to provide to our customers. I want you to know that I will be handling this immediately and speaking with the employee because it is our strict policy that all Game Masters are to be on headphones and fully dedicated to each room and this was not the case for you and your group. Finally, your Game Master should know exactly what you have done and what you should do next, again for that, I'm truly sorry. I do hope you would consider coming back and having a better experience! Kind Regards, Philip, Owner

This game was fine. Some decent puzzles and good decor. The game master was much too quick to give nudges. I would’ve liked to actually try the room but the game master was too overbearing.

Hi Preven! First, thank you for the review and kind words. This type of nudging can be frustrating especially when not wanted and/or needed and for that I do apologize. I will be taking this feedback to our staff and ensure that this is corrected quickly. I do hope you visit us again!

Did the Heist of Gettysburg Address room. 2 players, finished with 5 minutes to spare and used 2 hints. Would say it's an intermediate level room - could be really challenging for first time players or just two people who haven't done a bunch of rooms before. Don't be afriad to use the hints - we wouldn't have made it out with them. Have done several escape rooms before, and was pleased that a number of the puzzles here were different than I've seen in the past. The theme was integrated really well into the room throughout; one of the best themes I've seen (and hyper specific to Gettysburg too). Game Master was friendly and gave good hints when we needed them.
