Cryptic Cay

The owner and mastermind here is so creative. It's so rare to do a room with so many unique things after doing almost 400 rooms! So glad we made the trek out of Miami to try these rooms!!!!

This is a classic example of an early, first-generation type of escape room. We spoke to the owner and he did mention it was his first escape room he ever built, which absolutely tracks. If you're familiar with the escape room generations, you know this means nothing is going to blow you away, and you're going to see a ton of manual locks and puzzles you have seen before (if you are an escape room veteran). That being said, the room itself is fairly well done. We didn't really need any clues except for helping find a hidden object, which to me generally points to clues making sense. Story line is light but there was one moment that was neat and I hadn't seen it done before. Oh, yeah...and there is SAND, a lot of it. Ask for shoe covers before you head in, you won't regret having them.

This was a really enjoyable room. The theme was consistent throughout, though very light on story. The room is relatively non-linear except for one or two choke points. The room leans a little heavy on combination locks but otherwise the puzzles were fun. Nothing blew me away, but overall I had a good time and would recommend if you're in the area. Our GM was great and very responsive the entire time. He checked in what felt like an appropriate amount of times.

This was a fun room but not as good as I was expecting based on the reviews. The theming was cool but not as immersive as it could have been. Only 2 rooms and they had what they needed but weren’t wow- some. Would do the other rooms if we’re in the area but not sure we would come out of our way.

Loved this room ! My husband and I did it a few years ago when we were still early in our escape room career. The room really feels like you are on an island because of the sand everywhere and the plane. The owners were really nice too.

This was a blast! So many fun surprises, excellent theming, and very immersive. My hubby and I have done 75+ rooms, and there were some things we'd never seen before. Love this location and have made special trips from Miami to try all their rooms over the years. Hope they will think up something else just as fun in the future too! P. s. Lt. Weston, Fiona, and Sam Porter! :D

The selection of quality escape rooms games in south Florida are very few and far inbetween. So we were pretty surprised to find this little hidden gem that had real homegrown charm and some really cool ingenuity and engineering baked in the mix. Upon entry, seasoned escape room vets might think it’s a bit tacky and looks a bit like a colorful playpen. But it becomes clear pretty quickly this is a really unique and challenging space. It’s somewhere between linear and non linear, with enough puzzles to keep everyone busy while you can break off and do your own thing. Even with the amount of rooms we’ve played by now, we still utilized a fair amount of clues to beat it. The clues were also not too obvious or too vague, still making you “earn” the solution Then there’s some fun twists on tried and true puzzles, with a handful of ones we haven’t seen as of this writing, and some really awesome, smile inducing tech and surprises that play out in the story as you progress. The only thing I’d wish for is maybe more atmospheric vibes (like a painted ceiling), no house lights/overhead fluorescents as the main and only source of light, and also some more foliage to sell that it’s an island. Overall, it’s a solid room and probably one of the best ones the area has to offer.

Cool room, unique aspects, interesting puzzles. Didn’t “wow” us but it was a nice room.

Awesome room with amazing use of props and effects. Fairly story light but otherwise we have only good things to say about the room. Very immersive and our GM(the owner) was awesome. Would recommend this room wholeheartedly.
