Something is NOT right in Madam Paisley’s fortune-telling tent. She was the biggest hit at the carnival but had not seen a client in weeks. We hear her in there, talking to herself and banging around. However, every time a customer comes for a reading, she refuses to answer the door. If she doesn’t open back up for business in an hour, she’s being replaced by a juggler who wants her tent! What’s wrong with Madam Paisley?

A nail-biter for our group of two! (Three is recommended.) Great theming, with everything feeling like something you'd see at a circus or in a fortune-teller's tent -- but a challenging room for my 72-year-old dad because of close quarters, mandatory stooping, and a good deal of small text.

Gameplay

Many puzzles were classic escape room material, but there were a few surprises!, and the classics were well executed with only a couple of hiccups.

Atmosphere

Loved the theming, like someone went into a New Age shop and asked, "How can this be a puzzle?" And a lovely surprise at the end.

Customer service

Lillian was welcoming and helpful. She was ready with two needed hints, and she pushed us back onto the right track when we accidentally broke the room's sequence.

No puzzle was ridiculously hard, but they crammed a lot of them into a small space! Solving them all in sixty minutes takes focus and teamwork.

Accessibility

Part of the room requires stooping to enter or exit, repeatedly. Small text on locks was illegible to my dad even in adequate light -- bring reading glasses if this is you. My color blindness made one puzzle slightly harder, but it wasn't a big problem.

OMG I LOVED THE THEMING IN THIS ROOM! While I didn’t get out (we had a party of 2 so might be better for more people) we had so much fun the whole time! the puzzles are unique and challenging and you will still have a blast regardless

Wow! We had a blast with this room. It is difficult, we were a party of two and they warned us it usually takes more players to get out. Some fun unique puzzles and some classics that are fun to experience again. Glad we made it back to the area to see their new rooms.

I'd say the other two were maybe slightly better, but still absolutely solid. Definitely still deserved a love, not just a like. Way pleasantly surprised for what we expected. Literally only one thing we didn't care for at the end was a minor disconnect. (Owner feel free to message or call us, but you might already know what this was)

Had a great time playing this room! Great atmosphere and fun puzzles - lots of different kinds of puzzles in it which helped it feel varied and unique. Loved the use of the props and the varying design elements.

We had a spectacular time! The game flowed great, you could solve things, move on and then come back. The whole vibe of the room was so fun! Doors opened in really cool ways. Our Game Master Sarah was involved, kind, and made sure we had the BEST time! Would 12/10 go again! :)

Gameplay

It was so much fun! there wasn’t too much of a specific order - we’d solve puzzles, move on to the next, and then go back and use whatever we unlocked from the first thing!

Atmosphere

Immersive and impressive and very fun!

Customer service

Our Game Master Sarah was phenomenal! So kind :)

Right off the bat the game master Lillian was so sweet and great at providing hints when needed. This is a very puzzle heavy game that will definitely give you a challenge. The reveals and the ending of this game were very delightful. A lot of puzzles made it slightly harder than I thought it was going to be but still a great time.

We love the staff & their puppy. Out of their two rooms, “Circus of Secrets” is our favorite. The puzzles made sense, the story unfolded clearly, and we had lots of fun. :) We intend to return for their future room

Very good game. You can tell that the owners are passionate and it shows throughout. I would put this as one of the more difficult games me and my wife have done (almost 100). Just a lot to do. Like a lot a lot. Our experience helped us greatly. Best done with 3-4 players. Will be back to try their other room.
