“This is a great room. The set is so well done and incorporates lighting and audio aspects. I really enjoyed the puzzles and felt that they were unique and clever. There are four puzzle tracts. We played with four people and split up into two groups, each tackling two of the tracts. That means that we can play it again down the road and have each team tackle the tracts that they have not seen yet. 😬😬 It is definitely on the tougher side, but we gut through with no hints and we’re happy with ourselves for figuring everything out. There are no locks or keys in this room. This room makes my top 10 out of 225 played.”

Who are you? Who can you trust? In this exciting game of Spy vs Spy, you’ll be able to fulfill your lifelong dream of being a C.I.A. agent. The only catch, there is at least one secret Soviet Spy among you! The H.A.I.L.I. project was created in 1977 to test out the first smart house system that would revolutionize the way American families have been living until now. What was created though was a smart talking A.I. with an attitude toward humans! H.A.I.L.I. is so powerful that if her encrypted Data ever got into the wrong hands, she could be a potential threat to national security. You're tasked to get in, get the encrypted data, and get out. It might sound simple to enter H.A.I.L.I. to retrieve the data. However, once you cross the threshold, a neuroflash is emitted, temporarily erasing your memory. Now, completely clueless, H.A.I.L.I. will introduce herself, and she might help you along the way, but she also might hurt your feelings, considering you're just a human after all! Can you figure out who you are, who you can trust, get the encrypted data and survive one sassy robot A.I. program?

“If you’re up for a good friendly challenge then this a fun one to try out. I really enjoyed the player to game interactions that happened throughout the entire experience. Our GM did an excellent job assigning us the correct positions in the game. This game can get a bit loud and competitive at times but that’s because we were all trying to win.”

You are a N.U.M.A. (aka a Non User of the Magical Arts). You may have magic with you though. You’re invited to Woodbury’s Wizarding School to test that theory out and see if you can gain admittance to the school.

“I absolutely loved this room! Definitely a 10/10 for me. It had different components and surprises than what I’ve experienced at previous experiences, which made this one a huge stand out. It was challenging but very easy-going and fun! I left this experience eager to bring other friends and family to come try it out! Definitely lived up to their 4 years in a row nomination. I hope they get nominated again for 2026👏🏼”

This is a puzzle heavy game played in a small space in our lobby behind a privacy curtain. Captain Ginger Beard has commandeered the pirate ship known as the Buccaneer's Revenge in search of the Cursed Jewels. You've found the treasure chest that you think contains the Cursed Jewels you've been searching for. Will you uncover the chest's mysteries before time runs out and you're cursed forever?

“I rate this escape experience a 3/5 (ck out my bio for rating system). And just a side note, this is literally a lobby game - a game behind a curtain in the hall of the lobby. It is also literally a pirate chest, that's it. So I think a 3/5 for a lobby game is pretty darn good. I give the set/theme a half point because it's in the lobby which can be noisy due to it - being in the lobby, duh. Plus it really is just a pirate's chest so yeah, half a point. I give the puzzles 1.5 pts. Granted, they were all lock type puzzles but what they did with them in the very limited space of the pirates chest was quite novel and creative. No one puzzle was particularly memorable but the experience itself was memorable due to the novelty of it. The puzzles were the perfect amount of difficulty for a light puzzle solving experience as well. I gave my enjoyment level 1 point. I enjoyed it more than I thought I would and it was a nice addition after doing an actual escape room at this location.”

“I absolutely loved this room. This is a perfect room if you’re wondering what an escape is like. All of the puzzles are politely intuitive, and there’s always something to do so you’re never sitting around. This is a must do room if you’re ever wanting to do an escape room. Gabriel was super nice, and hilarious.”

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, step right up! Prepare your senses for a journey into the bizarre, the wondrous, and the truly extraordinary!Tonight, you are about to enter a world where the strange is celebrated, the impossible becomes reality, and the unusual takes center stage. Welcome to the Traveling Freak Show, a cavalcade of curiosities and marvels from the farthest corners of the earth. Come closer, if you dare. Hold tight to your sense of wonder, and prepare to be thrilled, amazed, and perhaps a little unnerved.

“Freak Show was a really fun and unique escape room experience! The atmosphere was super cool and had a style that stood out from other rooms I’ve played. I don’t want to spoil anything, but there was a nice touch that added something different and made the experience more memorable. The flow was good, and I liked that the room was non-linear, so everyone had a chance to work on different puzzles at the same time. The puzzles were fair and enjoyable, though I do think a few more puzzles would have made the room even better. Overall, this is a great room to check out if you’re looking for a fun day or night out in the area. I also can’t wait to see what Jenee, who I believe is the owner, has planned next. You can really tell she put her heart and soul into the set, and her passion for escape rooms shows throughout the experience. I would definitely recommend Freak Show!”

Desperately you search for a way out but your fate has been sealed; you are trapped; and the horror stories have turned into a nightmarish reality.

“We were delighted to be the first guests during their soft opening, and the performance was exceptional. We had anticipated some technical glitches, but none occurred. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive. Cecilia, Cha, and Melody genuinely demonstrated a deep passion for Escapology. Love the fact you don’t have to pay full price for kids.”
