"This is such a cool room and definitely one of our favorites! It's a shame the owners are closing it down due to the difficulty or running the room. It's a good mix of traditional puzzles with locks and keys, combo locks and letters, and technology."

"Just like the real thing! Definitely split your teams with even amount of brain power for it to be fun. Tons of puzzles and I loved that we were still in the room with our group, even though we were on teams!"

"This room is the scariest room I’ve done so far. Scarier than Weeping Witch by a smidgin IMO. The puzzles are on the easier side like most scary escape rooms are. Prepare to run and slam doors and maybe huddle in the corner with your group. ..." See more

"Cute room, would say more spooky than scary. The witch was creative yet subtle. Game play was unique and flowed well to continue the story line. A little crowded for our group of 6 but still an overall good time."

How Do Escape Rooms Work?
Remember those point-and-click adventure games where you’re locked in a room and have to solve puzzles to find the key and escape? Those online games were the original inspiration for the live escape rooms you’ll find all across the world today. An escape room is an immersive experience where you (and your team of 2 or more people) are locked in a room with a series of puzzles for 60 minutes. To escape and win the game, you have to look for clues, solve the puzzles, and find the key. While most escape rooms only give you 60 minutes to complete the challenge, others may have shorter or longer time limits. Many venues are private rooms where you and your team are the only players. However, some places may pair you with other groups who booked a slot at the same time. And don’t worry about getting stuck, asking for hints on a difficult puzzle is totally normal. While the original escape room (created by SCRAP in 2007) had a fairly simple aesthetic, today’s escape games often take you into a different world. Artistic set designs, secret doors, and unique interactive elements are all part of the fun. It’s like an adventure game that you can interact with in real life. But if you’re hoping to preview any rooms before you book a game somewhere, detailed images and videos can be hard to find. To keep the puzzles a secret and preserve the experience of seeing the room for the first time, most venues only offer a few photos or a short trailer about the room’s theme or narrative. The only way to know what it’s like is to go and try it for yourself!
