My new favorite prison game! Even after playing a lot of prison games this one was engaging and fun!

This was the first room we played here and we confidently chose to play “hardest tier”. And failed. Too bad but our choice. You have to REALLY think outside the box but if you’re able to this is a 10/10 room!

I had high hopes for this venue. The set design was really good. But the story and the gameplay was atrocious. I have done 150+ rooms and I thought Rikers and Haunted room would have been in my top 50 for sure. The puzzles were highly illogical in most cases and we constantly had to get a nudge because of this. I’m not even sure there was a proper story to understand and the ending was so weak we didn’t even realize it was over.

I think you’ll see how cool this escape room is as soon as you get there! The sets were movie quality and just incredible all around. It's amazing we got out JUST in time! Staff was great and made us feel welcome! I look forward to seeing the other rooms here!

Set was awesome. Very fun, but definitely creepy. Level of difficulty of puzzles varied pretty significantly.

The set was definitely one of the best I’ve seen with a few surprises along the way. Puzzles were unique, although there were some things used twice which I’m not a fan of. That tripped us a bit. Could be *slightly* scary just due to theming, but nothing intentionally spooky. Overall very solid game that I would definitely recommend!

Still one of my very favorite escape rooms ever! What makes this company particular interesting is that their designers also worked on Sleep No More, and it shows. You are immediately immersed in the experience as soon as you step out of the elevator. I really don’t want to say more except that I loved every aspect of it. FYI no jump scares or anything, though it feels tense and unsettling…in the best way!
