Another exceptional room by Escape Room Herndon, with a very unique theme that was flat out fun. From a pure escape room perspective, there was a good mix of puzzles, may of which we had never seen before giving it a special touch. That said, nothing was too hard or frustrating, and we were able to make it out in 42 min with a family of five. (It may have helped though that our kids were huge fans of Gravity Falls, and they immediately spied all the hidden references mixed into the game :) ) The theming was top notch and had a lot of detail, could have spent the full hour just reading the cryptid backstories. All in all, a great room suitable for families, even with younger kids.
Very fun and creative, and plenty to do for larger teams; everyone kept busy during the entire game.
Very well themed; you could tell the designers were BIG fans of Gravity Falls. That said, you don't have to be a fan to enjoy the game.
Staff was excellent as always

The story itself was a little thin, but enough to keep things moving; theming more than made up for it

Still had lock puzzles, but enough high tech tricks to keep the surprises coming

My wife and I completed this room with 3-4 hints in just under an hour. Escape Room Herndon is always top tier with their quality of escape rooms and this did not disappoint. High quality props, unique puzzles and a fun room. We loved it!

This was our second room of the night with ERH and we had a wonderful time here as well. The room was ADORABLE and the puzzles were great. We will basically enjoy anything cryptid themed, so this was right up our alley. There is one particular element in this room that felt super unique, and though it took a bit of patience, it was really quite fun to engage with. It felt like our team of 2 blew through this one with no hints, getting out with 22 minutes to spare, so I'd say this one is on the easier side and would be better for smaller groups. I would have loved to kept going in this room with this theme but overall we had an absolute blast!

So much fun!!! I did it with one other person and would recommend more because there is a lot to do but still possible with only 2. There were so many impressive elements and creative puzzles. Also, Callahan was an AMAZING game master!!!

We're thrilled to hear you had a great time in Cryptid Grove! There is a lot to do and there are several puzzle strings so more people is always helpful! Thank you also for the kind words about Callahan, they are fantastic :D

Extremely well done room with some novel puzzles. Completed this with just my wife and while most puzzles weren’t very challenging, there is a large quantity so it still felt challenging.

My Gravity Falls obsessed kids (10, 12) my husband and I did this room together and we had a BLAST. We are novices, so we did need a lot of clues - some we asked for and a few were "pushed in" when we got stuck. But really the goal for us was for our kids to have the Gravity Falls experience and relate it back to the show they know and love. This room did not disappoint! They ate it up and were making up their own theories but were also able to help solve quite a few of the clues with us. Admittedly, my husband solved the bulk of the queries while I tried my best to be the assistant and wrangle the kids. They already want to go back and "solve it faster" and I think we've struck an Escape Room chord inside each of them! Lucky for us, Herndon is local and we will definitely be returning for more fun!
The theme was amazing - the details relating to the show were incredibly accurate!
Our GM was wonderful! We 'dressed the part' with our kids dressed in Dipper hats, so we had a warm reception.
Very
It was sparkling clean and spacious in the room. The decoration was so well thought out - it was like we were in the real Mystery Shack!

Lindsay, we are so happy to hear you and your family had a great time. I used to watch Gravity Falls with my sons over and over again. That was the inspiration for this game and I wanted to recreate that joy for other families. I'm so happy to hear your children loved it :D We hope you and your family will join us again soon!
