The Candy Factory

3rd visit to Escapade 360 and The Candy Factory was another solid room, but by-far the hardest. About half our group of 5 were not connecting well with the puzzles early on, so instead of dividing and conquering in this non-linear room that had a lot of puzzles, we did most puzzles together, which ate up a lot of time. There were multiple rooms to explore with several fun reveals and some solid tech. However, most of our group never could get flowing in the game as the puzzles were not the easiest to grasp and they became frustrated. 1st room in a long time that I have not gotten out of, so I would recommend at least 4 people for this room. Overall, we still had fun and Dan (Owner) was great to talk with as usual. We will be back to do the remaining rooms.

We recently tackled The Candy Factory escape room, and it was a blast from start to finish. Had a team of 3 including my sister, my boyfriend, and myself. We made great progress, but a few extra hands and minds would’ve definitely helped with the more complex puzzles. We made it all the way to the final puzzle but ultimately ran out of time. Had to use several hints to get to that point as well. Even so, I’d still highly recommend this room to anyone looking for a fun, whimsical experience that leans toward the harder/more challenging side.

Our game master was the owner of the business and he had our group laughing the entire time. We enjoyed that the lobby is airplane themed because we are all huge travel junkies. I had a large group so we chose their hardest room in order to keep everyone occupied. We did need a few hints. The last room was more difficult and it was the first time I had to use an external source of information to solve a puzzle (there is a thesaurus that you use to translate words in other languages). Love the ending and I feel like they really put effort into this room. It’s not crazy high tech but it’s well designed and there are a variety of puzzles. We played for my birthday and they had happy birthday balloons in the room for me and they didn’t charge extra. It was very thoughtful.

The GM at this location is really friendly and quite the character. He talked to us about a lot of his experiences with escape rooms in the area. He mentioned his room wasn't as impressive in terms of decor and effects, but we were honestly still impressed. Even if there weren't a ton of extra props, there is some cool tech and the unique theme really comes across. It's a hard room and the first that I haven't escaped from in a while. I thought most of the puzzles were fair outside of one of the very initial ones that had us stuck for a bit. I really enjoyed this experience

This room is very special to us. My husband proposed to me in this room. He worked with the owner of Escapade 360 to put together a surprise of a lifetime. The room overall was very difficult, but thankfully the owner ensured a victory a.k.a. a proposal by adding a couple minutes to our time. Get ready to get challenged. Can you find the formula to the candy bar? I highly recommend you try.

Very sweet room with great candy theming and neat moments that made me feel like I was in Wonka’s chocolate factory! There are lots of puzzles and quite a few of them are devious, but in bigger groups, it should be more doable since the room is mostly non-linear. One of the final puzzles tripped us up and felt exceedingly convoluted. While we got it at the last second, I felt that there was maybe too much information to sort through for this multi-part puzzle. Other than that, I loved how the room smelled, looked, and flowed! Definitely a great challenge!

BETA TEST

Very cool room with very amazing, immersive decorations. One portion of the game wasn’t reset and didn’t work for us but we managed to bypass it and still escape.

A room that is focused on puzzles and a cool atmosphere. Some of the puzzles are pretty layered so the difficulty is on the higher side. Next to no searching required which is what I prefer! By far the best room at this location!!
