The Lakehouse

Overall we had a good experience, would prefer that some time was allowed before clues are given to process and think instead of feeling like we are just being walked through the experience instead of trying to solve it ourselves

Incredible theme and set design. The technology in the final part of the game was awesome. We enjoyed the puzzles as well. Must do game. Brooke our GM was super helpful moving us along. They graciously gave us extra time to make sure we could see the finale. In addition, the owner and Manager Brooke were nice and opened early to accommodate our travel schedule. Much appreciated.

Only thing I can recommend is going slow and pay attention to your videos, sounds, and for things opening. Also pay attention to the directions.

Another great room here! So immersive and the sets were great! This room has a slow start and you have to be patient, but it escalates after that. Definitely a good time. Another one I would highly recommend.

The Lakehouse is an adrenaline-charged mystery wrapped in the warmth of a family cabin. The reclusive megastar author Roland Donovan holds eccentricities and the story emerges naturally from the environment, making each reveal feel earned . Like the venue’s signature style, the room is built to keep players in motion. You’re constantly shifting spaces, juggling tasks, and communicating across different parts of the cabin. There is little downtime and it’s a room that rewards momentum and quick thinking. As the venue’s newest room, I actually thought this was the most well-designed room for the balance it holds between storytelling experience and set design. You actually have to listen or you will miss important information from the monologue. Time is allotted for that within the game. They should do this with Seed of Hope next door! Maybe this style fits better with our group who is good with waiting and taking in details rather than a group built for fast paced linear games. Keep this in mind when you form your own own opinions of this experience.

Totally immersive. It's has multiple rooms and not a detail was spared. It's like walking into a movie. And be warned other escape room places will pale in comparison.

The Lakehouse at The Sanctuary Escape is a fantastic game. Hollywood level set design and cinematics, a different and completely cohesive story, and a great puzzle mix make this an absolute must do. Story beats were on point, non disruptive and concise. Fun reveals had us guessing and character solo moments were executed to the highest degree. Varied and well constructed puzzles. One puzzle I felt could be improved with player feedback, but otherwise this is a must play game for any enthusiast. We flew in from California just to play this game, and I would do it again in a heartbeat. The Sanctuary Escape has created something truly special here, and I cannot wait see what they cook up next.

Really loved the theming of this game! There were some very unique elements hidden throughout that were a lot of fun to interact with too! I really cant say too much about what I enjoyed with out feeling like I am spoiling things so I am just going to go say check it out.

Fantastic escape room - the puzzles are engaging and creative. Best in class theming. There were times when the story felt like it was dragging but for the most part excellent. 9/10.
