Mark as done to rate

Since the passing of the legendary knight Melkor and disappearance of his sword, a great curse has fallen on the town. A thick fog lingers through the village β€” persisting far longer than normal. It has long been said that the only way to bring back balance to the land is to return to sword to its rightful home. Can you return the sword and lift the curse before time runs out?

9 escape rooms

Horrible. Would not go here. My family paid 200+ to play here for Father’s Day. We were enjoying the room when the game master kicked us out. Apparently we had broken the rules by taking photos (for memories). He came into the room and yelled at us for taking photos, which my brother took maybe 2 of for memories. He very rudely told us to leave. If the mics were working and we heard him we obviously would have stopped. Very unpleasant and disappointing. My brother works at an escape room and if he was treating customers this way he would have gotten fired. But apparently the owner said to do this. Very angry. Have a great Father’s day Dad!!

We were treated horribly. We payed lots of money to play this room and we got kicked out during the game. And keep in mind it was fathers day too. I was with my whole family and it ruined the night.

Was anything broken?

Yes

The mic was not working which got us kicked out, because we couldn’t hear that he was telling us to stop taking photos.

Would leave zero stars if I could. Came to this room for Father's Day to have a good family experience, and got our escape room fun ruined. I took a couple pictures to remember the room which I have done at every single escape room I've been to and never had an issue with, and we were abruptly interrupted by a worker. Apparently he had warned us multiple times not to do that, but we never heard him and we are assuming the microphone was broken or something. They took us out of the room (on Father's Day by the way) and didn't let us finish the room. ABSOLUTELY DO NOT GO TO THIS COMPANY. Had our great experience ruined when there were multiple other ways for them to handle the situation (coming from someone who actually works at an escape room business in the area). Very disappointing and I will never be going back to this escape room company ever again.

I would not recommend the room. The very first room was unnecessarily dark, and we couldn't see anything even after our eyes "adjusted." Like other escape rooms, we were informed to NOT use any force. And yet our first "puzzle" required force. We were not informed/warned about low ceiling heights and I bumped my head. We tried asking how much time we had and we were ignored. The puzzles were a bit of a stretch at times, with directions being unclear. Overall the theming/decor was cool

This room gets huge bonus points for its immersiveness. The set design is fantastic and the way they used this fairly small space to make it feel larger is most impressive. The story was a fun, medieval theme and the room really makes you feel like you’re in a tiny corner of a castle somewhere. 🏰 The puzzles were fun and enjoyable. I do have to note that we escaped with 29+ minutes left, only using half our time in the room. This was playing with just 2 people who weren’t trying to rush through. It’s always disappointing to spend so much money on an escape room and then escape so quickly that you feel you didn’t get your money’s worth. But that being said, we really loved this room and had a great experience here. I give it a πŸ‘πŸΌ, but if they added more puzzles to make this a more challenging room, it would earn a ❀️ from me. Would recommend to smaller groups as well as families. Kids would love this room too.

Accessibility

By default this would be a challenge for someone who is physically limited. You can probably still do this room if you have others in your group to do this part, but I would call them to ask.

Great set with lots of fun areas to explore. Some people will need to climb or crawl. The puzzles were on the easy side and we wished there was a bit more content to get through because we finished with plenty of time, left, despite not trying to rush.

Over all my group of 5 absolutely loved it! The puzzles were challenging but not impossible. Loved that we could not get full hints, just slight pushes in the right direction. Our GM Tim was very helpful and lead us perfectly to escape the rooms with a minute left. If this room was this well thought out and detailed I can not wait to come back and see the rest. Will be back.

It is probably the best medieval themed escape room in Orange County. Surprisingly big in such a small space. The design is Hollywood level.
