Check your membership cards! Eccentric businessman and Harvest Moon Video store owner, Joseph Boddy , is set to retire. He has decided to randomly select several membership cards from his Video Store database and has issued special “golden tickets” to a lucky few. A local newspaper, The Sleepy Hollow Patch, is reporting that Mr. Boddy has laid out a series of challenges throughout his beloved video store for the chosen few, and if successful, the team will be rewarded THE DEED to the store. Mr. Boddy feels it is time for a change in ownership, one that can bring a fresh new upgrade to Harvest Moon Video as a new generation takes the helm of the film world. HMV has always been a prominent fixture on Main Street in the quiet village of Sleepy Hollow, New York. This quaint store continues to be the hot spot in town on a Friday night, as locals fill the aisles look for movies to rent. YOUR membership card has been drawn, and you and your team are anxiously waiting outside the store for further instructions. As you feel the crisp, cool air and take in the smells of the fall season, you listen to the passing cars, wondering when Joseph Boddy will arrive. At exactly 10:31 pm, a video beings to play inside the store. Your instructions are simple. You must gain entrance to the store and complete the tasks within an hour. If you are successful, you will be granted the deed to Harvest Moon Video. However, if you cannot complete his game in time, your car will be towed, and the next team of lucky golden ticket winners will get their change at this one-in=a=lifetime opportunity.

Great set. Smaller room which results in A LOT of locks. One of the hardest rooms we’ve done out of 20+. Friendly staff and well kept up rooms.

Was in town for Disney World but our family enjoys finding escape rooms when out on trips. This is a really solid room and flows pretty well. Not scary and if you're a movie buff you'll enjoy this one. Highly recommend when in the area and hope to come back to try the other rooms on our next visit!

A small space at one point. Not really a crawl space but you’ll have to bend/squat through.

The set design was great. It was fun and nostalgic without being cheesy or cheap. The puzzles were fun to solve too. As always, our game master was a blast. We ALMOST got out, having just 2 small puzzles to go. The only thing I think that could be improved is replacing some of the locks and set that needed too much finagling to open. All in all though, the room was a lot of fun.

This game is fun (love the theme), but it is so hard. We had to get a ton of clues and still didn’t escape. Some of the solutions to the puzzles seemed to have come out of nowhere, with no prior clues given. I enjoyed it, but definitely enjoyed Archive and Ringmaster more. I would only recommend this to those who have escaped a ton of escape rooms successfully. Overall, Dare 2 Escape is too notch when it comes to escape rooms!

We had a great time with this game. It’s not difficult but everything was fun to solve. Certainly my favorite “escape room in a Blockbuster Video” room of all time. Recommended.
A perfect recreation of an old-school DVD / VHS rental place, if Blockbuster had been full of puzzles.

2-4 would be a good number. There’s enough space for 4 (once you get out of the opening area, which is a bit small) but given the relatively low degree of difficulty you might have the most fun with 2.

One very short crawl (and only one person has to do it).
Should be accessible, by and large. Some clues are given via audio.

For nostalgia we liked the room. There were some frustrating parts that just were not as clean or clear as we like. But overall would recommend
“A lighthearted and nostalgic video store game that would be fun for all ages.“
“A nostalgic escape room, crafted with a devotion to the subject matter“
