Gen 2/3 Game You and your fellow co-workers are getting ready to tune into the annual Route 66 Cross Country Race that your boss, Johnny, is competing in. Suddenly, the phone rings and it’s a frantic Johnny telling you he forgot his lucky dice somewhere in the diner. Now it’s up to you and your co-workers to search the diner and find Johnny’s dice before the race starts! Can you find Johnny’s lucky dice before the race starts?

Gen 3/4 Game Deep in the jungle lies the Temple of Oculto (Hidden Temple), where the great warrior, Guerrero (literally Great Warrior), was buried with his amulet, the Heart of the Jaguar. When raiders stole the amulet, they unleashed Guerrero’s curse, turning the temple into a treacherous place filled with spectral guardians. Only by returning the amulet and performing a sacred ritual can the curse be lifted. Until then, the temple remains a warning against greed and disrespect for the dead. Are you brave enough to lift the curse?

Gen 2/3 Game It’s the year 1923 and prohibition is in full swing! The powerful mob boss, Maximillian Malone, is making a killing selling his booze at his local joint, The Blind Tiger. You and your mafia gang want in on the action. All you need to do is get your hands on a bottle of Maxie’s Moonshine and you’ll be able to give him a run for his money (soon to be yours). Your lookouts have learned that Maxie and his gang will be out on the town tonight, celebrating their continued success, so it’s the perfect time to strike! You’ll have exactly one hour to get in and find a bottle so you can replicate his recipe. But don’t get caught or you and your crew will be pushing up daisies before the evening’s over! Can you find Maxie’s Moonshine before he returns?

“Loved this room! Has a lot of immersive design elements. The room was great. The puzzles weren't super challenging but did require some thinking and searching. It's a great room for different age ranges so even younger kids can contribute and have fun”

A MILLION WAYS IN, ONE WAY OUT The year is 1955. You’ve been wrongfully accused of a crime, and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Your new “home” is a cell that once belonged to an inmate who disappeared without a trace…or did he? Some claim he escaped. Others swear he was murdered by the infamously cruel warden. But no one actually knows… can you escape before you suffer the same fate?

“Very well put together experience. I love the starting concept of being separated into two rooms and having to work together to move forward. Very immersive and very tough escape room. We made it out with just a few minutes to spare.”

“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”

“One of my favorite escape rooms. This is the newest room at Think Solve Escape as of October 2025. Very well done and we loved the reveals and effects. A good mixture of puzzles and we had a great time.”

You’re trapped in the cellar. The room is dimly lit and the air is heavy. The killer's footsteps echo above you. Solve what he’s left behind and escape before the clock runs out… or you’ll be the next on his table.

“Creepy and a little gory, but not to intensely scary. Not really a spoiler, but when you finally solve the puzzle there should be a little more direction. You are told to get out quickly, and we ended up running out the fire egress door because we didn’t want to run back out the entrance door to the room. They should add a spotlight to the correct door on a trigger so people don’t end up in the parking lot. LOL!”

Can you uncover Bubba’s secret before he comes stomping back, or will the smell of total barbecue disaster hit the air? The fate of the backyard cookout is in your hands Get ready for a smokin’ adventure full of laughs, surprises, and just enough chaos to leave you hungry for more!

“Fun and thematic puzzles with a refreshingly low stakes theme and just the right amount of comedy. It hides its tech well, making it feel lower tech than it actually is - and that illusion was created with intention, to lean into the aesthetic. Highly impressed with the GM, who went above and beyond - not just with the room hints itself, but the all important "whoops we're having trouble finding the building" puzzle, as she offered remote turn by turn guidance when we were about a block away from the venue.”

“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.”

“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).”
