A long time ago, Freya, the goddess of love and war, did something very human - she fell in love with a mortal - a young warrior named Regnar. Their love was pure, but forbidden. As punishment, Freya was cursed to go blind whenever close to Regnar and thus never be able to see her true love ever again. Heartbroken, she sat down by an old fountain deep inside a forest, and cried a thousand tears. Feeling her sorrow, a dwarf blacksmith decided to help. He took a strain of Freya's golden hair and forged it into a magical ring. A ring, powerful enough to break all curses in it’s presence. They decided to hide the ring in the fountain and so this became the one secret place where the two lovers could be together. But the ring was taken.. Now, by a twist of faith perhaps You came across it, and for better or worse, it is now your job restore it to the fountain before it looses it’s magical powers, so that Regnar and Freya may be together once again.

“This room is definitely in my top 10 of all time. The tech, the scenery, and the staff were all so incredible. This location was our highlight of our Denver trip, and making Tears of Freya as my friend's first ever escape room set a high bar for their future escapes. If you're thinking about this room, definitely book it. You won't regret it.”

The year is 1929. One stormy night, Nikola Tesla vanished without warning, leaving behind a sealed laboratory and a series of unanswered questions. His trusted assistant, George, believed the inventor was lost for good—until a distorted transmission suddenly broke through. “…trapped in… another dimension… coil unstable… hurry…” Unable to complete the work alone, George has called you—the worldʼs most ingenious engineers—to help finish Teslaʼs secret experiment. Follow Teslaʼs research, stabilize the coil, and reopen the Portal within the next 60 minutes, before it collapses for good. Once it seals, Tesla will be lost beyond reach forever...

“An excellent escape room that requires cooperation and clear communication between players. Starts small and unfolds into a massive game full of charm. The Game Master was fantastic, too. Very charming and funny, he ran the game in character and really added to the atmosphere”

“One thing Mystic’s Littleton location does very well is utilize limited space effectively. Both games I’ve played here so far have made the most of a fairly small area while still feeling like I’m progressing and not just staying in one place. This one was a pretty solid bread-and-butter escape room. It’s not that flashy but it’s really good. Puzzles are fun and just challenging enough.”

“Very immersive with a good mix of traditional locks and sensor type locks. I liked the puzzles and the flow and logic was excellent. Definitely a harder room and I wouldn't bring more than 4 people. 2-3 experienced players would be ideal.”

“Cool room with neat puzzles and mechanics. Story is fine and I'm not a big story person anyway. GM was awesome, and we had a great time. Lots of puzzles but I would limit it to 4 people, and 2-3 would be a sweet spot.”

“What an incredibly cute set! We were given heads up multiple times that the sheer number of puzzles in this room makes it overwhelming for two people, however we still managed to get out with the monthly record! That said, they aren’t kidding as there is literally always something to be doing and solving in this room. The puzzles take a wide arrange of styles and forms but none of which ever prove to be unfair or frustrating in any way. This room, for me, is an absolute must to go experience!”

The Mission Experience involves a team of 4 to 6 players navigating through 5 hi-tech video game rooms in hazmat gear to disarm the World's Largest Paint and Foam Bomb (and Slime Bomb coming soon!). Each game room lasts 10 minutes, totaling a 1-hour experience with free photos and videos.

“So. Much. Fun. Obviously not an escape room. More like a live action video game. They have three “versions” all have different games. We did the Slime one. Four of us - we beat the bomb! No joke. So fun. Don’t miss this.”
