You’re Invited to the Clearview Fall Fair: Where Thrills and Chills Await. This year, the Clearview Fall Fair is calling you to join us for a weekend of thrills, mystery... and something much darker. Get ready for mouthwatering snacks, electrifying games, and, of course, the return of our infamous Maze of Fear.

AMAZING!!!!! Beautifully themed room with so many crazy elements and great scares. The live actors were a lot of fun and added so much to the experience as a whole. The story was a lot of fun as well. We were treated so well by our game master Rina! This is a must do room if you can handle the horror element.

It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood, at least that’s what the leader of Clearview Community’s Neighborhood Watch reassures their residents! With an invitation to the Watch leader’s home with promises of fun and games, it’s the perfect setting to keep young minds distracted as parents spend the night out searching for a missing neighborhood kid. Is this just another child running away from home or could it be the latest in the case of the Clearview Catcher?

Awesome story - really cool “rooms”.

Weapons (movie) before weapons, lol. 

The live actor aspect is always so awesome especially when done as well as it was done here. 

Came up a tiny bit short with a group of 2 but didn’t feel like we needed more people… we just started 7-8 minutes late due to an emergency at the hotel.

ATTENTION. THIS IS NOT A TEST. This is your direct-support Radio Operator reporting the formation of a severe Arctic Storm off the coast of Siberia. All stationed personnel should immediately seek shelter in a class four base or higher. Initiating safety-protocol 118. Commencing auto-lockdown.

IMPACT IMMINENT.
DISPATCH TERMINATED.
The station’s storm vehicle is built to withstand forces of 120 mph winds and is your sole chance at surviving a storm of this caliber. Teeny-weeny problem! – the vehicle has sat dormant for nearly a decade. With no fuel, no battery life, and no access to board without necessary overrides, all recourse of survival is few and fleeting… Will you make it to safety before THE FINAL MELTDOWN?

This room was a blast! It was my favorite of all their rooms at this location. I loved the theme, which was a very unique one amongst escape rooms. The puzzles were fun and challenging and plentiful. And the set design and size of the room was above and beyond. I really enjoyed it all from start to finish. Definitely a must do if you’re in the area!

I’m a little surprised this isn’t an hour room. We finished in under an hour and we weren’t trying to rush and also spun our wheels for a considerable amount of time on one puzzle that we didn’t want help on. I’d call it Medium difficulty, not the Hard Morty lists it as, especially if you have 90 minutes to solve it.

Listen up, dudes and dudettes! It’s pledge season and you know what that means! Another totally rad way to get into our fraternity. This is our most epic challenge yet and the only way to prove you’re worthy enough of becoming a member of Es Ka Pi!


We need you to prove your worth and snatch the golden eagle statue that is under the university’s president’s care in his office! Think it will be easy? Think again! You’ll need to band together to make it out alive! or, uh – not get busted by campus police… Hurry! You only have one hour to snag the statue and become BROS FOR LIFE!

Of the 3 rooms our team of 3 did at this location, this one gave us the most trouble. We found ourselves down the wrong tracks few times and needed hints for things we missed. Had some cool puzzle elements, definitely a great theme and fun experience, but we preferred cornstalkers and the arctic adventure at this location, the former for the experience and the latter for the puzzle flow and theming.

Amazing room!! You need GREAT communication with your teammates! And yes no more than 3 room space is limited!! Yes it’s dark and you can ask for “black light” but if you have great communication you would not need it!

The disembodied voice of the Ghost Host is your private guide through the cadaverous realm of an eerie haunted estate, home to ghosts, ghouls and supernatural surprises. 

Glide past a casket-filled conservatory, Madame Leota’s chilling séance room and a ghostly graveyard of singing specters as you attempt to find your way out. Beware of hitchhikers—these phantom pranksters may follow you home. 
Happy haunting!

This is an original ride for Walt Disney World and still holds up today! It is my favorite ride in the park and the memories I’ve had here are the best. It is fun for all ages if you have a kid who gets scared from spooky things they may not want to ride, but otherwise it is an amazing ride!

Avoid becoming the latest victim of Art the Clown inside a grisly haunted house that's literally dripping with terror and gore.

Never saw the movies but liked the house a lot. There were some really great tricks used to catch you unawares and lots of spooks. Wet path changes day by day so if you go multiple times don’t expect it to be the same every time

In a remote northern village, a wicked being rises from the dead with a horde of monsters. Try to escape the belly of the beast.

One of the more imaginative houses this year.  Told a great story that was easy to follow through the haunt with all elements tied back to it.  The attention to detail was spot on with all the jump scares being aligned with the story.  Some great costumes!

Nearly a decade ago, the old Frank M. Heights apartment building remodel lost funding and has since sat abandoned. Supposedly, a horror fiction-obsessed murderer uses the building as a playground for his twisted acts of torture. Locals whisper that when passing by the apartment building – the faint screams of the victims can be heard echoing deep from within… hence the nickname, “Murder Heights”!

This room had everything we look for in a spooky season room: scary, challenging and LOTS of fun. Fantastic immersive theming and great puzzles and gameplay  that we have come to expect from Escape Ventures rooms. Two thumbs way up!

You have been unpacking for a week now as you continue to explore every nook and cranny in your new six-room house. You now understand why the locals were so weary of this house and always avoided it. There are however still some areas you have yet to fully search. One day as you were putting your groceries in the pantry for the first time, you notice a small crease in the wall. You put your hand up to the wall and realize it is actually an indentation. You grab your box cutter that you were just using and poke it right through the gaudy wallpaper that you wanted to replace anyway. You pull the blade across the wall. You hit a hard beam. You turn the blade downward and slice vertically to the floor. As you make the final cut through the wallpaper, the wall opens up and a doorway appears. Before you lies a small six-foot hallway with a door at the end of it. You walk six feet down the hallway to the door and grab the handle. It’s locked. You are glad because you’ve seen enough horror movies to know that you really didn’t want to know what was behind that door. With a sigh of relief, you turn around and walk back towards the kitchen. You take three steps forward, when an icy-cold wind blows right through you, taking the breath out of you. You stop in your tracks. You hear a loud creaking sound behind you. You turn around. The door is open. Again, you’ve seen enough horror movies to know that you shouldn’t so anywhere near that door. But, just as you – the Hardings – were called to this house, you are being called to this doorway. You physically can’t help it. You feel yourself being pulled to the doorway. You find yourself peering down into a dimly-lit basement. Again, you have seen enough horror movies to know that you don’t want to go down those stairs. But, yet again, you are physically pulled by some force down the stairs. The next thing you know you are standing on the cold concrete floor, staring up at the bright light emanating from the only way into and out of the basement. You feel the icy-cold wind again. The door slams shut and locks. The lights go out. You now find yourself trapped in the Seventh Room.

The Seventh Room was an absolute adventure - the set, story, and puzzles facilitated a horror game that was longer and in some places more intense than average. While I wouldn’t say the game was overwhelmingly scary, there were definitely a few moments that were fairly intense - thankfully, you can opt in to these moments. The way the set unfolded was highly novel, which allowed for some uncommon exploration and excellent scene transitions. If you’re in Orlando, stop in - even if you’re horror adverse.

The Seventh Room

Are you daring enough to face the spirits at the asylum? The lights are off and you need to work quickly before the spirits trap you in forever.

Lots of little jump scares, which I loved because it kept us on our toes. I liked that there is a theme between the rooms. This is a great one to start with if you are looking for something spooky. We needed 3 people.

This room was so unique and different from any other escape room we’ve ever done! The puzzles were extremely unique and interesting to use! GM was wonderful and this place overall was a great experience!

Raise the anchor and set sail with Captain Spoopy Bones in this lighthearted tale of nautical nonsense! Navigate the treacherous waters aboard the Captain’s massive ship, and race against time in this grand adventure on the high seas. With teamwork, determination, and a little bit of luck, the players will uncover the secret of Captain Spoopy Bones and the magnificent quest for some other pirate’s treasure!

This was awesome, and by far my favorite room so far! It splits you into two at the beginning which was so fun, and were were split up for a pretty long time, as a group of two I’d say it was difficult but it was still possible! The puzzles were awesome and I had so much fun:) GM was amazing! Overall experience with this company is always amazing!

Can you and your teammates ace the ultimate group project that you had taken up in this summer for your school? Can you complete it in time?

I really loved this room and I can’t believe I saved it for the one of this location to play! I think I had incorrectly assumed this room would be too juvenile to be fun for a group of adults but that was not the case at all. The theme of the room is excellent and gameplay is fast paced, non-linear and excellent for a large group. There’s so much to do! I really loved how our GM, Tony, provided nudges because we were a smaller group (4 adults) for a room designed for 8-12 people. He was so friendly and helpful and even made my husband and I a certificate for completing all of the rooms at this location. We also got to sign the wall! I didn’t even realize that was a thing, so this was a really fun surprise.

As summer nears its end, your team, the ‘Blue Goats’, has infiltrated the Red Squirrels treehouse! It’s time to capture their flag and bring home a win.

Treehouse was extremely fun. It wasn’t a linear room, but everything made sense and was intuitive and had a couple of surprises as the game master KJ2 was phenomenal. She was a great actress and added an extra touch to the game that just made the game so much more immersive and enjoyable.
