Many years ago three evil vampire sisters attacked and killed the family of Mr.VonHel. For many years he studied the vampires every move! And spent many restless nights putting together the best vampire slaying kit known to man. We know he found their domain and one night before a full moon he snuck inside! Legend is he never came out! We’re unsure what the vampires did with him but we do know they take a one hour nap right before the strike at midnight. So you have one hour before the vampires awaken to get inside and slay all three of them,don’t be inside after a full moon or the strike of midnight! Or you may become their next feast!

Our team of two made it out with only 7 minutes to spare, which is rare for us!  The set was really impressive, and this room has a lot of great ambiance.  We loved how they weaved the story around the puzzles! There were quite a few scavenging puzzles and it was hard to see at many points, which made it frustrating.  Lots of solid puzzle variety, but a surprising amount of combination locks for how high tech it felt at other points.  Overall, really fun room!

 Escape Room Strongsville

Asylum

Growing up, you always spent your spare quarters at the local Arcade Planet. But your sacred arcade is locking its doors for the final time at midnight tonight, so you only have an hour to get all of the prizes you’ve been longing for! Including the “top tier, ultra rare” prize! Apparently the owner of the arcade made it a really difficult prize to get, but that’s not going to stop you! Can you win your way to being a local legend? Or will that prize go unearned in this final hour? This is your last chance!

Loved the incredible immersion with the set design, theme, music, and props. The puzzles fit so well for 80s nostalgia. Satisfying pop culture references and puzzles that clicked. Momentum slowed down at the end when there was a lack of an obvious way forward, but the hint system was super cool when we got stuck! Overall, solid, memorable room.

The Great Escape Room

Arcade Challenge [prev. Retro Replay]

Kids all over the city have gone missing and since the police have given up the search, you and your friends have decided it's up to you to find them. As you're searching, you hear one of their voices call out to you from a manhole and you all decide to climb down. As the last person climbs down, the ladder breaks trapping you all below. Will you find your way out or suffer the same fate as your missing friends?

It was a very good room. The puzzles and set were great and exceed my expectations of escape room. The only two problems I have are the use of darkness to create difficulty. I do not find that fun personally. And the room was very linear so my group couldn't be working on several things at once. Still a great room and highly recommend!

Souls of the Sewer

You’re the newest hires in what should’ve been a routine training shift. However, minutes after clocking in, the post office goes into lockdown. A call came in moments ago: a credible bomb threat aimed directly at this facility.

The postmaster has vanished, the police won’t arrive in time, and somewhere within the maze of packages, letters, and records, a device is waiting to detonate. You’ve got to search the building, follow the paper trail, and sift through the systems the post office once ran on. Truck route logs, PO box anomalies, undeliverable mail, employee notes—it’s all on the table. Somewhere in the details is the path to the bomb’s location.

Your goal for the day isn't to deliver mail but to deliver everyone out of the building alive. You have 60 minutes; for your sake, it better be enough.

The Haunted Schoolhouse offers you the rare opportunity to face your deepest fears… your darkest thoughts… and the twisted night terrors that haunt your dreams. Ms. Alvah, was never your typical school librarian. She wasn’t content to simply ‘tell’ stories of creepy castles or dark dungeons. She wanted her students to appreciate the books she held so dear… to actually ‘experience’ them, as it were.

Having discovered ancient texts long hidden within the library’s walls, she finally found the way to do just that. She learned spells that forced her students to literally enter, and become a part of, each and every terrifying tale. Word of these missing students got out, and as they were never found, the school was forced to close its doors.

Years passed, and as no one suspected Ms. Alvah, she returned to her beloved library and continued to work her spells. In secret and under the cover of night she invites YOU to enter the ancient books….walk between their dusty covers… traverse their brittle pages… and pray it is her books, and not you, that get ‘checked-out.’

In the Haunted Laboratory, meet the deranged Dr. Guggenheim, who for years has led a team of scientists in his mad pursuit of manipulating DNA and controlling genetics. “Nature has gone far too slow on its own. People are still so weak…. so pathetic. Only my genius and my virus can speed up the process of evolution,” he claims.

Working late one night, the Doctor was caught in an accidental explosion that not only burned most of his body and disfigured his face beyond recognition… it also released the virus, which has spread quickly and contaminates the air throughout the laboratory’s four floors. Even if you can escape before the monstrous Doctor finds you or his creatures tear you limb from limb… the virus will likely infect you… and you may begin to feel the change even after you’ve found the relative safety of home.…

Hudson Haunted House

Dr. Heinlein had always been an enigmatic figure within the medical community. His genius was undeniable, his surgical skills unmatched, and his fascination with the human body unparalleled. However, behind the façade of his successful career was his true self: a man driven to continue his research at any cost.



A series of mysterious disappearances sprung up here in Barberton, and authorities grew baffled, unable to connect the dots and identify the perpetrator. It was only you, a group of amateur detectives, driven by either an insatiable curiosity or an unshakeable sense of justice, who managed to uncover the truth.



Unfortunately, your investigation had not gone unnoticed; now, you were prisoners faced with a horrifying choice: if you proved yourselves worthy by assisting his work, you would earn your freedom—and a chance to become his assistants. Failure, however, would mean befalling the gruesome fate of the victims before you.
