My mind has been shafted. Sorry, I had to include that. We showed up to play Firefighter, but realized after talking to the GM that we had already played the game at another location. Thankfully, they had the flexibility to put us into Mind Shaft instead. The room was a lot of fun, and I highly recommend it. One thing to note, accessibility-wise, is that roughly 50% of the room is upstairs. Thus, I would not recommend it for those with mobility issues. Overall, though, the game is a lot of fun with some great puzzles that took our very experienced group some actual brainpower to figure out. It is fairly mechanical, which I am a fan of.

This escape room is perfect for a group of four. It involves some mechanical elements that are very exciting. I can definitely remember two puzzles that were very innovative and we had to think outside the box. I would definitely recommend this room to experienced escapists who want a fun challenge. It’s one of the better designed rooms in Michigan. Only improvement I would recommend is the ceiling for the set design being fixed. We loved our GM!!

We had a lot of fun. The puzzles were awesome and the atmosphere was great. It would have gotten a love if it had AC and wider hallways. A fatty was struggling lol. We got out with 12 min to spare with 3 people and 2 clues.

Very cute room, had a great time. The room itself is a very tight space. Puzzles were fairly straightforward but worked. Did the 60 minute version.

It is pretty tight, I’d try to do with with just 3. We had 5 and two of the five were kids. It was a bit crowded for that size

Difficult puzzles, which is why the time given is 15 minutes longer than the standard 60. The space is very tight and confined, which makes it more cramped if you have more than 4 people (we had 5). Otherwise a lot of fun!
