I keep asking, how can we continue to innovate with escape rooms? Where can we go from here? They found a way. Most escape rooms are about getting out; this one is about getting in. You’ll discover an artifact instead of break out of some disaster and it’s so much better this way. The staff interaction is also a very pleasant experience. Top 5 rooms so far.

Most games are about getting out. This one was about getting in and it was spectacular.

Wow! After doing 50 or so escape rooms this is my favorite I have ever done. The practical effects and interaction with the game master throughout were outstanding. All of the puzzles were perfect difficulty and several were unique. Lastly the use of adaptive difficulty was masterful and something I wish every escape room would utilize. Highest recommendation

Great room overall. Clever and interactive. Greatly appreciated the adaptive game play that extended the experience.
Gameplay
Really decent overall. Pretty linear and not a ton for a big team to do. But it had decent game play and unique puzzles
Atmosphere
Decent attempt but not amazing atmosphere. It did try hard to add some creepy factor.
Customer service
Hana was very nice. Appreciated her
Particularly interesting or different
Yes
Adaptive game play that added more puzzles if you “finish” the core content in under 45 mins which we did in about 32
Story
Good story. It tried hard
Difficulty
Hard
Coolest part was it had adaptive game play!! We killed this room super fast and it had an adaptive mode to give you about 4-8 more new puzzle challenges to give depth. Loved this part. So the rating is probably “medium” for the first part and the totality with adaptive got to “hard”. Glad this was an option.

Hands down, one of the best escape rooms we have done in our 10 years of doing rooms. Amazing effects, puzzles, experiences. Just the best.

This was definitely a very immersive room and very interesting storyline but different than many other rooms I’ve done. I read reviews that said it was “linear” and boy take that to heart. The game literally forces you to truly only work on one puzzle at a time. My boyfriend and I did this room and got out with 15min left and I can’t imagine doing this with more than 2 people. The atmosphere was cool and the staff extremely friendly but probably towards the bottom of my list for rooms only because of the forced linear path.

I will admit that even with the TERPECA rating I was still hesitant to do a room geared towards only a few people and knowing that it was linear. I normally prefer a funnel because I don’t want to have to work on the same thing as other people all the time. And for rooms that go up to 8 I prefer 2-3 people so this has not been high on my list to try. I finally got the opportunity to check it out tonight and I was pleasantly surprised! The puzzles were challenging but not so challenging that we couldn’t get them. They were very creative in the way that they approached it and I appreciated that it could all take place mostly in one room but still keep being interesting and fun. I very much enjoyed the room and we had enough time that we got to work on most of the bonus puzzles (just missed the last one). I will def recommend this room to people!

Best escape room me and my family have ever been to. We go all around doing lots of them (it's our favorite activity as a family of four) and this was by far our favorite. There were so many puzzles and things to do, and out favorite part about this location is if you finish early, they give you more puzzles and you continue the story! We finished all the normal and extra puzzles with about 10 minutes to spare, and it was a blast. Would definitely recommend!
Gameplay
Was great as you could work on multiple puzzles at once, so it wasn't too linear, great for multiple people.
Atmosphere
The design and attention to detail was mindblowing
Customer service
It was a blast, we didn't have quite enough time to qualify to do the last puzzle, but they let us do it anyways and we were able to finish the story

More moving parts and special effects than I've seen before, very impressive!

It was great for just four of us, but for less experienced people it might be helpful to have an extra brain
Scary
Not scary
A bit scary with a few rumbling sounds here and there, moody lighting, and things falling, but not enough to really be worried about.

You could being young people, but I'm not sure how helpful they'd really be, it would still be fun for them though, but I wouldn't recommend children that get scared easily like under 8 y.o.
Was anything broken?
No
Live actors
Yes
Yes, but it was just right at the start and end to introduce the story, they did not come into the room during.
Physically active
Somewhat
There was a part where you had to crawl, and escape rooms are generally active as you're running around to find clues
Accessibility
Not sure, I'd bring at least one person who can be physically able to get to things if you have mobility issues, and it was a bit dark in there, but it's generally ok
Easy to find location
Yes
Parking
Limited
Few parking spaces but in a place where nobody really parks except for those in the escape room
