The room was very fun but some of the locks were very worn out and required game master assistance (with the correct code). I enjoy the non-gory theme and thoughtfulness of puzzles Group size: 2

Thank you again PuzzleQueen. Thanks for your valuable feedback. We try to keep an eye on replacing worn locks, but after reading your review, I personally inspected the locks myself and changed a few out with brand new ones. We're glad you had a great time!

The British are Coming is probably are easiest room, but we certainly wouldn't call it "Easy" especially for a group of two. But we're glad we kept you both busy the entire time.

Really dug this room on our vacation in VA. I love history and I love escape rooms. So this was dope. The GM was a fabulous person! I do wish the place had maybe an old phone that Jefferson had because he was so cool for the GM to give hints on. Or maybe an old electronic scroll in the room. Instead of having to come in. Our GM Christy was super cool so it was okay she came in - just less immersive. Anyway, I recommend the room!

Thanks for the great feedback. For some of our escape rooms that are set before electricity (or phones for that matter), we felt it would take the immersion out to put a phone or TV in the room. So that's why your 1781-themed escape room has a host that comes in to deliver clues. But we are so happy you all had a great time.

More to the game than meets the eye. One puzzle really stood out to me as something I hadn’t seen before. Although, the game master has to come into the room to provide hints and will occasionally come in the room unprompted.

Thanks again for your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed The British are Coming. On your next visit, let us know ahead of time you don't want us to give unsolicited hints. We're always training our staff to be helpful but not "too helpful."

We've done about 500 rooms and this one was fairly early on. It was a solid room even if a little easy. I appreciate this fun historic room in an historic town.

Thank you so much. We're glad you enjoyed this room and appreciated reliving part of Charlottesville's revolutionary history.

This room was ok. Had a couple puzzles we hadn’t seen before. Had a couple things we did before we were supposed to because we figured them out. Only way for the game master to give a clue is to enter the room. It’s rated as a beginner room. I would not recommend as your first escape room experience.

Thanks for the feedback Jenny. Since you have done the room, we have made multiple updates to the room to help the gameflow and ensure groups can't leap ahead. This was also our first escape room we built and I think we're making design improvements with each new escape room we build.
