“Love love loved this room. Real candy was used to create the room which was cool to me. The theming of this room was wonderful and the storyline of the room was cute with the puzzles involved. HIGHLY recommend”

“A very pretty, well laid out room. There was a lot of back and forth between different areas, which kept it interesting. Not super hard, but enough to keep two people pretty busy. Our host was terrific! I think we got out with 7+ minutes to spare (two people).”

“Really enjoyed this room. It was clever and original and despite some fastidious puzzles, it flowed fairly well. I’ve never even seen the movie but still found myself enjoying the experience. Really recommend bringing a group for this one, was fairly challenging to do with only 2 people- wifey and I came close but was not able to finish. The GM was nice enough to explain though how everything ended.”

“Amazing room! This was our first room at Escapopolis and highly recommend it. My partner and I are escape enthusiast and this room blew us away. The theme and plot was on point. Puzzles were amazing and very interactive. Good for two or more players and enjoyable for all.”

“Enjoyed Shipwreck with our group of 4! We are experienced with escape rooms and it felt like the “just right” level or puzzles and clues. The attention to detail and the coordination with the story was excellent! Look forward to returning to do their other rooms.”

“I really really enjoyed this room. It was very well themed and all of the puzzles made sense in how they were solved and how they fit into the theme. It was definitely very challenging but in the best way possible. I would recommend this room and shout out to Ethan our game master!”

“Our game master was awesome! Loved how detailed the room was and the puzzles. I did this room with a couple of first timers and we got out with seconds to spare. Definitely recommend to do the room with more experienced gamers. Had to use a few hints”

“This place has really well designed rooms and this prison break room is different from others we've done! Definitely recommend even if you've done other prison escape rooms. The staff here is also terrific!”

“This escape room was great! We had an amazing experience! The atmosphere was absolutely gorgeous, and the puzzles were challenging but fair! The only downside was that the building was out of water due to a leak, so one of the puzzles were improvised and couldn’t be solved properly.”

“This game 🎸 rocks around the clock 🎶 . My family had a blast doing all the puzzles. You will not believe how many things they jammed into this game. One of my all time favorite puzzles happens at the end.”

“Fits a large group easily. Plenty to do and splitting up was definitely needed. The staff are very welcoming. I believe we met the owner Marisa and you can tell she put a ton of time into this place and her team.”

“We’ve done all the Expedition Escape rooms and finally brought our kids (11, 8, and 6) to one, and this was a great one to start with. They are hooked! The six-year-old immediately asked to do another one.”

“From the moment your GM says hi you are fully immersed in the story line right from there. We were very fortunate to have Skylar, one of the owners, be our game master for our adventure. We have played the other games there and this is on the same level as Blind Tiger (personally I liked Blind Tiger a bit more). The technology is great in this room as there are no traditional lock and key or combo locks in the room. We stumbled on maybe two or so parts but and only needed one clue. We finished early so we had some time to talk with Skylar about the room, the tech behind it, an up and coming room and other escape rooms in the area that he suggested. You can tell that himself and his team are VERY proud of not only this room but all of their rooms and what they have built.”

“We loved this room! I’m a sucker for an Egyptian theme and this room did not disappoint! It would be almost impossible to do 2 of the puzzles with 2 people but we had 3 and it worked well. Highly recommend room!”

“The theme of this room was fantastic. There was one puzzle we had to ask multiple hints for because we just weren’t getting it but eventually did. We took a little longer than the 90 min but because we only had two people and were almost finished they let us keep going. You can’t tell how much time is left while playing. Had fun doing it!”

“Another great experience with Think Solve Escape! The Cellar was definitely the scariest escape room I’ve ever done—if you’re sensitive to loud noises, darkness, or graphic horror elements like blood and gore, this one might not be for you. That said, if you enjoy spooky, immersive themes, it’s absolutely worth it. The room was incredibly atmospheric and immersive from start to finish. The puzzles had great variety and flowed really well. Our game master did an excellent job keeping an eye on our progress—we didn’t officially ask for hints, but he gave us just the right nudges at the right moments to keep us on track without breaking the experience. We completed the room as a team of two, which is totally doable, though one particular puzzle would be a bit easier with three or more people. Still, we made it out and had a blast! Overall, a fantastic room and another win for Think Solve Escape. Can’t wait to come back and try more!”

“Another great classic style escape room at this location. Really made you feel like you were in Bubba’s Backyard. Plenty of puzzles to do and plenty of stumpers that get the mind working. Really neat signature puzzles that I haven’t seen in some escape rooms. Definitely a fun time!”

“A fantastic room! The decor was awesome and a very fun sequel to bubbas BBQ. And no, you don’t have to have done bubbas BBQ to understand what’s going on. The atmosphere was on point and felt immersive. The puzzles were a fun mix of tech and traditional locks. Probably my favorite room at this location with The Cellar being a close 2nd.”

“This room, like all rooms at Think Solve Escape, was very well done. The puzzles were interesting and fit the room’s concept but weren’t extremely hard. We had 6 in our group and that seemed like it was too many. Often we had a couple of people standing around not doing anything. The ideal number for this room is probably 3 or 4.”
