First escape room for the family. Great game with kids 7-13 yrs old. Space super nice and well maintained. Terrific experience and now kids have the bug to do more escape rooms.

We had the best time celebrating our oldest kiddos bday. This was the perfect kid friendly escape room. The puzzles were just the right challenge level for them. Highly recommend for any families wanting a kid friendly option.

Honestly supper kid friendly. A little math involved may be hard for super little kiddos. Plus some things require adults to reach.

Wanted to give a special review of this room! First of all, the theming and puzzles were very cute and fun. The storyline and props are unique as it truly did make me feel like I was completing tasks for the Zookeeper job. Agreed with the others that this is a great entry-level room, especially for the kiddos. But most of all, wanted to give a special shoutout to our GM and owner, Daniel, who helped orchestrate with my partner to do a proposal at the end! We are so thankful that he allowed us to do this here and will always consider this room extra special!

A nice light hearted and easy game for beginners. My buddy and I have only played like 10 escape rooms so it seemed right up our alley. We also played this room right after Rockstar which maybe made it a bit easier by comparison. It’s not a big space but it is well utilized. The puzzles are easier than Rockstar’s but not so easy that we didn’t need to think. Even as an “easy” game we still got out with less than 5 minutes on the clock so I’d say it was a good value. You can tell the owner has a passion for the escape rooms he builds.

I was a little apprehensive since this is a “kids” room, but even though we were 3 adults this room did not disappoint. Because everything was kept pretty simple, the puzzles had to speak for themselves— no frills or logic leaps to make things artificially difficult, just simple cleverness. I loved that the decor was bright and fun. A lot of rooms geared towards adults try to be fancy and complicated with it, so it was refreshing to see some cool animals and bright colors. The flow was excellent and it was a nice take on a non linear room. I do think it could have been slightly more immersive, but again since this was a kids room I adjust my normal expectations. If you’re an enthusiast, don’t expect this room to keep you for the full hour, but I still think it was totally worth the money.

We played this game after enjoying Rockstar. At first we were hesitant to play it because we were afraid it would be “too easy” but pleasantly surprised with the amount of content in this game. Everything flowed well, made sense, and was cute. Unique theme that was executed wonderfully.

Zookeepers is great and would be good for newbies but we really enjoyed it as people who have a bit more experience. Daniel is a kind and thoughtful designer who really wants you to enjoy his rooms. We can’t wait for the next one!

This was the first escape room I had ever played and everything just clicked. This game has a lot of puzzles so even though they’re on the east side there’s still a lot of content to work through. Surpassed all of my expectations of what an escape room could be!
Everything was fun and felt fair. We were constantly working on something with no dead time searching for the next thing to do.
Everything looked great. Small room but space was well utilized. All the props looked great.

Definitely recommend, especially for families. But also not too easy that it wouldn’t be fun for everyone. Great variety of puzzles and continuous gameplay.
Very clever and engaging for everyone. Constantly figuring out something and working out puzzles. Lots of different kinds of puzzles and challenges to do.
Great props and very well maintained.
The owner and staff were fabulous!
