Thank you so much for your review! The Wine Vault took almost 3 years to create! The storyline is so detailed! BTW - my dad is Robert Doc Benson :) Can't wait to see you and your group again in the near future to play FocusTec Labs or Enchanted Cottage! - Amber, owner

We had a great time at The Wine Vault. The staff was very friendly and we were surprised to learn that we could purchase unlimited alcoholic drinks for 20 dollars at the start of the experience. The puzzles flowed well, and although there weren’t any revolutionary twists or turns, the puzzles were all satisfying to complete. Overall, this is a great mom and pop escape room with well thought out puzzles.

Thank you so much Matthewab96! We also love the Escape and Sip promotion. Drinks are complimentary with the purchase of our signature logo tumbler! To be honest, I love mine! Dishwasher safe and the perfect size for my car coffee! Thank you visiting our mom and pop. Can't wait to see you again in the near future! Don't forget to bring your cup :) - Amber & Russ, Owners

The room was ok, some clever puzzles and decent atmosphere. Though one of the keypads was not working and they interrupted our game play with many unrequested clues. However, the staff, while very friendly, was very overbearing. We arrived 10 minutes early for our room and then sat in the lobby being bombarded with rules and over explanation of the locks, and a meandering rambling explanation of the story. 25 minutes later we were finally led into the room. Once we were in the room we watched another video explaining the room rules and locks followed by a very poorly produced video intro of the room. I felt exhausted by the time we finally started. The staff was very friendly just not very professional. The 25 minutes of meandering exposition could be replaced with a 30 second rules video and a 60 second plot video. That should be more than enough to explain even to a beginner escape room patron. It was not all bad, they did have some nice touches. It was out friends birthday and she received a card from the staff.
Gameplay
It was ok. Some clever puzzles but nothing really note worthy.
Atmosphere
Again just ok. Nothing spectacular but convincing.
Customer service
Staff was friendly but extremely overbearing.
Parking

Plenty of parking

Magic1900 - I apologize if your experience was not the best. Our staff is trained to explain the escape room process while producing a theatrical storytelling personality however, we can always follow your lead and desires. Next time you come in, tell our staff that you prefer to skip the instructions and storylines and go directly into the escape adventure. We will make sure we cater to your specific needs. We are locally owned and operated so all of our rooms are written, designed, built , produced, and programmed by us and our team. - Amber & Russ, Owners

The room is fine. Game master and owners spends way too much time explaining the rules and there’s few things more frustrating than being over- explained how locks work. Happened on both rooms we’ve played at this location. Lots of self promotion for average rooms. The theming here is nice and it’s a spacious room with adequate puzzles. I wouldn’t rave about it but it was fun. Same for their science lab room.

Thank you for your review diiirk41. I apologize for our long explanations. Most customers are still beginners or have only done 1 other room, so most do not know everything. Next time you come in, please tell us when you arrive that you prefer to not have the instructions or explanations. We will accommodate your desires. - Amber & Russ, owners

We enjoyed this room. Our favorite part was the homemade glass wine bottle puzzle. Puzzles here are linear. Online recommends four people or more, but we did it with 2 without issue. The game master was very responsive, you get unlimited clues, and they also chime in if they think you need a hint to ensure you can finish the room. They also offer drinks while you play here.
Gameplay
Room fit the theme, puzzles were linear.
Atmosphere
Atmosphere fit the theme, the wine bottle puzzle was home made and lit up making it pretty cool.
Customer service
Staff was very welcoming, family run business with all the family there.

Thank you so much for your review jeffndan! That homemade glass bottle computer is so much fun! Russell and I designed it with help from our dear friend, Jeff Mizener. Jeff is absolutely brilliant when it comes to bringing dreams from paper to reality. We are so honored that you enjoyed Wine Vault and can't wait to see your team soon for your next adventure! - Amber & Russ, owners

Great local escape room business. The theming and story for the Wine Vault was well done. It had some unique puzzles that did not involve padlocks. Game master was helpful and they gave us extra time to complete the room in a funny way- they would mention the cops got stuck in traffic, went out for donuts, etc. Overall a great experience and would recommend this game.

You wouldn't want too many players given the size of the room, but I'd say helps to have multiple people thinking on the puzzles.
