Have you ever lost a sock in the laundry, or a remote between the cushions? Well, now we know where it went: into the Mezzanine! Step through the doorway this cosmic lost-and-found: a repository for all the items from around our world. It's your challenge to recover an item from the Mezzanine without becoming lost yourself!

The Mezzanine is an hour long game, with an additional 15 minutes of bonus challenges at the end! As always, we've pulled together challenges of every type to appeal to all the different puzzlers in your group. And it includes our largest and most interactive puzzle to date!

Great unique theme that carried from before the start of the game to the end. Tons of puzzles but didn’t feel too overwhelming even for a team of 2. Very unique puzzles that needed different types of thinking to solve so larger groups would benefit but still had a great time.

Ann Arbor Ghost Zone

A massive grizzly is closing in on your remote cabin. Solve the puzzles, trap the bear in the outhouse and escape before time runs out.

This was so good! Easily one of our favorites! The set is well designed and detailed to go along with the theme, with some super fun effects. The story flowed well. The puzzles were varied in type and difficulty, with some being straight-forward and some pretty involved. We rehashed the game for quite a while afterwards and each had a different puzzle/detail. The GM! Our GM was a lovely person. Her care and enthusiasm really enhanced our experience.

Clueless Escape Rooms

Bear Trap

Join your pilot, Milo, on a once-in-a-lifetime journey to iconic destinations around the world. Will you make it back within 80 days and earn the title of a true adventurer?

Constructed over two years in a formerly abandoned warehouse, this massive >1000 square foot adventure is almost twice the size of any game before it.

Wow! What a whirlwind tour around the world! First things first, this isn’t a traditional room at all. It’s more of a points-based experience where you attempt as many puzzles as possible to get high scores. Each room represents a different country with its own set of themed cultural puzzles. You only have about 15 minutes in each room, and you only get points for puzzles you complete. Once time is up, you move on and cannot go back. If you can finish within “80 days,” (you shorten the number of days with riddles), you get a bunch of points, and you get more for doing other puzzles scattered about. The sets are huge and phenomenal! I loved exploring each locale! There are a variety of puzzles that play to different strengths so in this case, bigger is better. Our super small team of 2 managed to get a bunch of points on our trip around the world!

You are attending a local magic show and the performer has uncovered vintage props and you are brought up on stage. Can you escape the chamber of illusions?

I really enjoyed this one. I thought a lot of the puzzles were fun to figure out and our group of four had plenty to do the entire time. We liked this room so much we did another one at this location immediately after.

A century ago, a circus came through town. The sideshow had the usual attractions, including a bearded lady, conjoined twins and a strong man, plus a tent advertising “Alien Clowns.” Mr. Wiard was intrigued. Illuminated by lamplight, he saw creatures that looked not quite human. On closer inspection, their mangled features were crudely painted with clown makeup.

Mr. Wiard found the circus owner, who told him that the alien clowns were discovered in a South American cave and that the sideshow was having trouble keeping them fed. “Cattle, goats, cats… if it bleeds they’ll eat it, but it’s hard to find food for them on the road. If you were interested I could be easily persuaded to hand them over to you. I wouldn’t mind getting them off my hands.”

Mr. Wiard accepted the offer, figuring they would be an interesting oddity to bring travelers to the orchard, while also reducing the local rodent population. Soon locals and travelers alike came to marvel at the terrifying beasts.

On a dare, one of the orchard employees jumped into their enclosure. The largest of the “aliens” sniffed him head to toe before sinking a claw straight through his chest. After the pack descended, all that was left was bloody fabric and bone. Mr. Wiard permanently closed the exhibit. But he believed the creatures were too rare to destroy, and they have lived, in secret, on the property ever since. Some brave thrill-seekers have snuck in — and never come out.

Are you curious about this hidden exhibit, too?

On a summer day over a century ago, Mr. Ravensblud came looking for work, claiming he could eliminate the orchard’s problematic crows. “All that I ask in return is somewhere to build a workshop,” he told Mr. Wiard. “My scarecrows will cure your problems, youʼll see.”

Mr. Ravensblud began placing his scarecrows around the property. They did the trick, reducing the crow population to almost nothing. But, one afternoon while walking the property, the groundskeeper noticed one of the scarecrows bore a strong resemblance to a local woman who had recently gone missing. He figured it was just a coincidence, but that night decided to peek through the workshop window.

Inside he saw a young man in shackles. Ravensblud was wearing a black cloak and a blood-soaked scarecrow mask and muttering in an unknown language, waving a staff at his hostage. The young manʼs skin rippled and took on the appearance of burlap while his face went lifeless. Just at that moment, a branch below the groundskeeper’s foot snapped. Ravensblud quickly vanished from sight and re-appeared next to him.

“It would seem that your curiosity got the best of you,” he hissed. “If only you had just been satisfied that Iʼd kept my end of the bargain…”

In the morning the groundskeeper was nowhere to be found, but a fresh new scarecrow was perched high in the field towering above the rest. The workshop remained shuttered and dark until just recently, when orchard workers report seeing strange lights and hearing incantations muttered on the wind.

Has Ravensblud returned to grow his collection of souls? Are you foolish enough to find out?

This Fall at Deranged, the town of Covensfield will be hosting their election for Mayor! Current Mayor Conwell claims to have big plans for the city including the demolition of the District in place of a new Mall! In May, Mayor Conwell was campaigning throughout Covensfield, sniffing hands and kicking babies as he lobbied for your votes! However, it seems as if Covensfield is heavily doubting re-electing Mayor Conwell, after he had turned a blind eye to GreeNo Industries chemical waste disposal along the coast of Camp Zika. It shall be noted that GreeNo Industries was a large donor to Conwells previous campaign.

The Gourdan family (known for their farmland that they have owned in Covensfield for over a century) has frequently spoke out against Conwell. They’ve even gone on to surprisingly endorse Conwells opponent in this upcoming election, Victor Kalloway, despite the two families controversial past. The tale states that the Kalloway bloodline nearly came to an end in the towns early years, as the Gourdan family lead a witch-hunt against the Kalloway’s ancestors resulting in the death of their daughter, Belle. 

Be sure to return this fall to cast your votes in the election for Mayor!

Nominee (2025)

A sudden change in weather leads your group to the mysterious home of Captain Magnus, a legendary fisherman known for daring voyages and encounters with mythical sea creatures. Is his treasure real? Uncover the truth and escape the rising tides…

Rating: 4/5 - My favorite here so far, immersive and tech filled
Here's what I enjoyed about this room:
➕Set looks great and is immersive, every inch is decorated and every object fits the theme. 
➕Lighting is dark and moody but there was sufficient spotlighting to see the puzzles
➕Multiple rooms to discover and explore
➕Lots of tech (RFID, maglocks, sensors, LEDs), only a couple of padlocks.
➕Some special effects
➕There is ambient audio and sound effects which adds to the immersion
➕Some fun surprises and some effective jump scares, ending is also cool.
➕Puzzles were more on the easier side, but still enjoyable. There was a decent variety.
➕GM was friendly but we didn't really need much help.

I'd recommend teams of 2-3 enthusiasts. Our group of 3 finished with 23 min left and no hints. 
No crawling or climbing. There are some jump scares and the set has some spookiness so I would say it's very lightly scary.

My ranking of the rooms at this company so far, starting with my favorite:
1. Blackwater Harbor (Novi)
2. The Gate (Novi)
3. Black Cat Fortune Teller (Brighton)
4. The Butcher (Mini room at Novi)
5. The Elevator (Mini room at Novi)

First, you’ll need a little pixie dust. You must call for Tinkerbell to help you on your journey.

Get ready to fly to Neverland for the adventure of a lifetime!

Such a marvelous experience for kids and children who never grew up! Seriously, it’s a well-designed set that flies players throughout Neverland. The story will be familiar to fans of the classic story and of course, the popular Disney movie. Don’t be hoodwinked into thinking this is an easy room. The puzzles are a little tricky, though some of it can be attributed to unclear logic or hard-to-see visuals. Other than that, there are a variety of fun challenges  and magical moments for every inner child to enjoy. This entire company is worth going to! It’s easy to get to, just follow the leader and take the second star to the right. Fly, don’t walk to this hidden gem!

Repair your crippled ship and eject the damaged fuel cell before the entire crew perishes. The stakes are high, are you ready?

The entire experience was completely immersive. The room, effects, and even the puzzles were truly on theme. The attention to detail was incredible, and it was obviously put together and run by people who truly love escape rooms. It was so much fun. The breakdown of your performance at the end was great! Loved it!

Five Senses Escape Room

Starship: Final Voyage

You and your team have been personally chosen by Sir Ripple Sugarton himself along with 5 other teams to compete in his new wacky competition!

Teams will need to finish a series of challenges throughout Sugarton’s Candy Factory, but be warned, he’s not only looking for teams that can make great candy, but can also think quick on their feet when something goes wrong.

If you can beat out the other teams in these challenges within 1 hour you’ll win the ultimate prize, a Surgarton’s Candy Factory of your own in sunny Honolulu, Hawaii.

This room was super sweet and chock full of fun! It’s a nonlinear game with great flow, logical puzzles, and exciting moments. The world is colorful, and what I bet kids think candy factories are like. It’s not too hard, and younger escapists will likely love it. It’s worth stepping into this world of pure imagination!

Seeking shelter from the storm, you enter the structure and are now tasked with figuring out a way off this island before the storm eats you all alive. At this rate you’ve only got an hour before the ocean swallows the island whole!
