Holy smokes - you just secured an apprenticeship with one of the most acclaimed tattoo shops in the world: Hidden Needle Tattoo Parlor. You and your team of rookies have been paired with the shop's most... "eclectic"artist: Arthur "Gator" Miller. β It's crucial that you and your team of rookies make a solid impression. Can you work up the ranks as a newb and develop a tattoo talent as impressive as Gator? Well, he's sure to be the judge of that! β If you can survive Gator's freaky fast-paced apprenticeship, you're set to secure a booth at any shop of your choice. I'm sure it will also make for one heck of a good story.

I went on a double date here with my boyfriend and my coworker. We had so much fun playing. The elements were enjoyable and made a lot of sense
I cannot remember the name of our gm, but she was very in character and very fun to banter with.

This room was fantastic! There were 6 of us doing the room together, and it was very immersive and super fun.
the room flowed very linear. it was hard to figure out where to start, but once we got into it, it kept going at a very good pace.
really felt like a tattoo shop, absolutely fantastic design.
Our GM was absolutely fantastic, and so energetic. On our way out, we met both of the owners, who were so kind and spoke to us about other escape experiences that they love.

we were POSITIVE that the final solution mustβve been a red herring that we paid too much attention to

An incredible room. There's a reason it wins awards and put this at the top of your list as a must-do if you are in the area. Hell, it's worth seeking this one out! Incredible set with tattoo related puzzles! A unique experience, one you will love! Lives up to the hype and the new location is so much better!
Fantastic, lots of tattoo related puzzles!
Amazing set. You really felt like you were in a tattoo parlor, even at the front desk! Piped in rock music!
Very welcoming!

It's a tattoo related escape room. It's the only one of it's kind! (There's another at the sister location)
Decent. This is the one hour version of a 90 minute game at the sister location in Florida. It's not a spoiler to say that you aren't trying to escape, just follow your assignments & earn your stripes at the tattoo parlor. (As opposed to a more sinister theme at the Florida site.)

actually, relatively easier than most for someone in a wheelchair access, although there are a couple of tight spots. At least one color clue

Just did the tattoo parlor! It was our 3rd room here at The Exit Games! This room was so awesome and our game master Jacob was so enthusiastic and really got into character! Amazing experience

Their new location is really great! Iβm glad to see them start the expansion. They truly deserve all of the success. This room knocked it out of the park with puzzles and fun.
The game flowed incredibly well !

Incredible! Josh and Tay have done it again. We played Pins & Needles (the larger/longer version of this game at their Clearwater, FL location) a few months before playing this one, so we had a pretty good idea of what to expect, but we still thoroughly enjoyed our time! A few of the puzzles function differently, and a handful of the puzzles were not in the Pins game at all. The ending for both games is also different, which I really loved! I adored the attention to detail put into the room design. The puzzles were all fun, flowed well together, and fit the room theme perfectly. Our game master was amazing too! I highly recommend playing both Hidden Needle and Pins & Needles, but please try to play Pins & Needles first if you can
Aidan aka Chazz was amazing!

It can be easy to miss as there is no signage on the outside, but if you follow the instructions provided, there shouldnβt be any issues finding this location

Some street parking nearby, but your best bet is going to be in a parking garage a couple blocks away

Gorgeous, fun, and perfectly maintained. Great flow. A reasonable challenge, incredibly unique and well-themed. This is a must do room. Should definitely consider selling shirts and mugs to successful apprentices!

9.5/10 Holy moly, what a room. It's so hard to recommend a room at The Exit Games that isn't Front Street Bank Heist, but this one is RIGHT there. Both are some of the best experiences I have had at a room. The theming is fantastic, the unique puzzles, the new takes on old puzzles... it all works just SO WELL. All we could do after, and each time we do a new room, is talk about how good this room is. Seriously, make it your next stop.
Such clever puzzles, not much downtime, unique contraptions and new takes on simple puzzles. GM interaction, etc. It's just all great.
Themed so absolutely well, no prop goes to waste. Puzzle solutions are themed and very rarely if ever is there some shoehorned in 4 digit-code sort of deal. It all just WORKS.
Incredible work with the intro to this one and interaction thereafter.
Yes
Just wait until the end!

After we were done with this room our entire family just talked about how much fun it was. The puzzles were unique, and it was decorated really just just like a tattoo parlor.
