You are on the verge of unlocking the legendary elixir that turns metal into gold, but a single mistake threatens it all. Poison lingers in the air, deadly plants surround you, and in a moment of carelessness, it all goes wrong. With time ticking and the solution slipping further from reach, every decision becomes a dangerous gamble.

Very interesting room, loved the vibe and it wasn’t overly difficult but I guess our group was rusty and we barely made it out. When we were in the second room things finally clicked for me and started on a good roll. Definitely a fun room and highly recommend. There is a good mixture of puzzles nothing crazy and everything we have seen before.

This is a reskin of deFROSTed, but the vibe was totally new and exciting! This is a smaller room and a fantastic experience for a small group. As always with Exodus, the staff are phenomenal and the place is very well kept. The puzzles in this room feel very satisfying to solve! If you’ve done deFROSTed you’ll recognize certain mechanics but playing this room will still be a welcome and fresh experience. Amazing room and incredible use of space!

I did Elixir with my partner-in-escaping and we enjoyed it so thoroughly! It's a small room but it's packed so well. The puzzles are tied so strongly to the theming and story to create a really great immersion. Not many escape rooms I've been to have intertwined the puzzles and theming so well. The puzzles themselves are so fun, clever, and detailed. We saw a good amount of mechanics that we haven't seen before, even after 50+ escape rooms. The flow is really great, too. The special effects definitely are satisfying and enhance the experience just the right way. There is a mix of tech and locks, but it all worked well. We had a bit of a slow start but after that we smoothly moved along at a good pace. With just the two of us, we got out with 12:18 remaining while moving at a decent/good pace and not asking for a single hint. Two experienced players can do this, otherwise I'd suggest a group of 3-4. Chad the owner was so great, too. You can tell he's really passionate about escape rooms, but also about creating immersive, detailed, and unique experiences. We definitely got that in Elixir, and we'd strongly recommend this room! It definitely would be one of those I wish I could do again if only an escape room were more than a one-time thing
Flowed so well. Mostly linear with a few nonlinear moments
Such a small space, but decorated so fully and cleverly uses all the space
Chad was one of the best interactions we've had at any escape room business.
Yes
Great theme and all the puzzles tied into that. Different mechanics and super enjoyable

A solid mix of tech and mechanical locks. I would say almost 50/50, but the tech moments are definitely really cool

2 experienced players, or else maybe 3-4. The room is small though, so I wouldn't personally want 4.

Don't discount this room! A unique theme that might be easy to pass at first glance, but the space packs a TON of clever puzzles that were so fun to solve with 2 people and the set and tech were absolutely amazing. I wish I could do this room again! It's really one where I might bring others to and then lurk in the back just to enjoy it all over again! Shout out to Chad who made our experience really wonderful, he's super passionate about the craft of escape rooms!

I was ecstatic to do an escape with this theme. Its so mystical and magical and there were so many references to "magic lore" that I was so thrilled to understand and that made the puzzles even more interesting

This is a beautifully decorated room! This was my 58th room (52W - 6L) which I played with four other adults with similar statistics. This beautifully decorated room is mostly-non linear, split tech-mechanical, and medium difficulty. All of the puzzles were in tip-top condition and fit within the theme beautifully. We played all three rooms at Exodus today and escaped this one with 7:46 remaining (unfortunately, we needed two hints). Our GM was great, we asked that she not give us any hints unless we specifically asked for them.
The room was novel and beautifully decorated. The story flowed well between puzzles.
The room was beautifully decorated and immersive with impressive effects.
Our GM was wonderful. She respected our request for no hints unless we specifically asked for them. The two GMs that we met were professionally attired and well spoken which gave the business a very classy vibe. The rooms also smelled great!
Yes
The puzzles were fun and the decor was beautiful.
TBH, I don't usually listen to the stories in escape rooms, but the rest of my group liked the story.
Medium
There were lots of (mostly) non-linear puzzles so everyone had something to work on or combine heads for.

I think both tech & mech are represented in this room, but probably more tech.

We played as a group of five adults, but you could play with fewer. More than six might be too tight with space.
Not scary
We won't play scary rooms.

I say ten years old only because of the typical ten year old attention span. But if you have a younger enthusiast, certainly include them. There isn't anything scary or inappropriate in the room.
No
Everything was in tip top condition.

There is the usual scurrying around, but nothing too strenuous.
Vision is necessary, the room might be tight for a wheelchair, and I can't remember is hearing is necessary (other than for instructions).
Yes
It is on the second floor of a strip mall next to an In-N-Out. IDK if there is an elevator, but the stairs are close to the business.

The business is on the second floor of a strip mall. Idk if there is an elevator, but the staircase is very close to the business.

Elixir was amazing!!! The puzzles were so immersive and clever. It has a great mix of challenging and fun at the same time. This is one of the few escape rooms where the theme and the puzzles greatly match. The designer was very ingenious in the creations.
Extremely fun.
Very immersive and uniquely designed.
Chad is the owner and super friendly. He was so professional and fun.

This room is super cutely themed, with a mostly linear game play. A combination of tech and mechanical locks, it was a really fun game with some unique mechanics. Our game master was great at dropping hints when we needed just a little prodding along.

This room could be difficult with mobility issues, since the flooring is not even. There are several color-based puzzles which even for those without colorblindness were a little more difficult to discern due to lighting used.

Loved this room! Was pretty difficult with just 2 players. Got stuck at the very beginning, but then was able to move at a good speed after that.
