Mark as done to rate

As a kid you always hated school. H-A-T-E-D it! You did everything you could to get out of doing your schoolwork. Heck, you even pretended to be sick just so your mother would not make you go. You hated it so much that you did not care if you passed or failed the 4th grade, that is until you actually failed it. Everyone you ever knew, the ones you did not know, and all your friends went on to the fifth grade while you stayed back to repeat the 4th. From that moment on your life would never be the same. This bad decision has haunted you your entire life. You befriend a local scientist who builds a time machine out of a 1974 Pinto, giving you the opportunity of a lifetime, the chance to go back to the 4th grade and change history. But be careful, as with all time travel, you only have 60 minutes to pass all your classes and catch the bus before you are stuck in the 4th grade F-O-R-E-V-E-R!

What a fun room! I was hesitant to book this room because of some of the negative things about it, but honestly we had a blast. Yes, there are a lot of locks, but if you are doing a room where you are supposed to be a 4th grader, it just makes sense. The room was great, the GM’s were great. I’m glad we made the trip down!

This room is lock heavy but it does still have a good mix of tech. This room was specifically designed to help onboard people into escape rooms. The puzzles are approachable for all ages and the thrill of opening a lock sometimes cannot be matched. We are so happy you decided to book this room. We look forward to seeing you again.

I'm sorry, but this room has got to go. This is very reminiscent of the first escape rooms where it's just a room of full of locks, and you just gotta solve puzzles to unlock them. They did incorporate the school theme well here rather than just having a random office building, but that is nowhere near enough to save the gameplay here. Very few tech elements but endless amounts of combination locks to open. I really hate to bag on this room so much as I actually loved another one here at this location, but there is just no place for these kinds of rooms in today's age of escape rooms.

Back to the Fourth Grade is one of our oldest rooms. Although it is lock heavy, there are some elements of tech incorporated as well. That particular room we made specifically so it could be approachable by everyone including children. The escape room clientele is dominated by a lot of first time players who enjoy the thrill of opening a lock as well as the magic that happens in the room. We are happy that you loved the Cellar which is one of our newer rooms. We look forward to seeing you again. Thank you so much!
