Ah, Appleseed Avenue. That beautiful place where humans and puppets coexist. You’ve always wanted to visit, but never quite had the time. And then you see the job posting: Appleseed Avenue detectives and medical examiners wanted, humans or puppets apply. Are you a detective? No. Do you have medical experience? Well, it doesn’t really matter because these are puppets and not humans. You apply, and to your surprise, you get the job.     It turns out that the day you are scheduled to work is Election Day. You don’t really follow puppet politics, but you know this one’s a biggie. Five candidates are still in the running for the mayor of Puppet Town in an increasingly tense race. Either way, it probably won’t affect your time on Appleseed Avenue. Right?

Saved this for #200 and it was worth the wait, the drive, and every penny. My cheeks are still tired from all the smiling. Kip was our host and was also the puppeteer who brought the characters of Appleseed Avenue to life. During the game, you split into two teams: the detectives, and the medical examiners. At first it feels like you’re battling head to head but you’re also working together. With some techy equipment, the tasks were explained really well. It’s like playing Clue. Don’t miss out, check it out. Election Day is ranked high and now I could see why.

A brand new waking nightmare presented by The Basement: A Live Escape Room Experience, Dead & Breakfast is a private escape adventure designed to test you in ways you never thought possible! You and your friends have been kidnapped by Edward Tandy -- a cannibalistic serial killer with a hunger for taxidermy, strange mechanisms, and of course human flesh. He has created a twisted game in his deceased mother's home, designed to weed out those who are unworthy of escaping with their lives.

Beginning at 10am, Mondays-Thursdays only, guests are invited into the Tandy household for a day they’ll never forget. Featuring ALL FOUR of our escape room experiences: play them back-to-back in a private, VIP setting. Ever felt like you needed MORE TIME during your game? During Dead & Breakfast, you and your team will play until you complete each experience!

As a birthday party of 4, this was an awesome experience. Back to back story was really fun. The GMs were really cool and nice and made our experience rad. We were the only ones there and no matter how quick we finished a room we were only given a few minutes in between, which was confusing to me because we were supposed to have 90 minutes for each room (way too much, I think the whole place could make all their rooms 1 hour and give way fewer hints) and got out in the usual 45 minutes as they gave us hints all the time a whole lot. If you’re in it for story, this was great. If you’re in it to solve puzzles and feel smart and see amazing novel ideas or tech, this might not be for you. I loved it for my birthday party although none of the rooms were amazing stand outs.

Plato, a prodigy of philosophy and wisdom, once wrote, “there occurred violent earthquakes and floods; and in a single day and night of misfortune the great city of Atlantis in like manner disappeared in the depths of the sea. For the people of Atlantis housed the greatest exponents of concrete wisdom & technology the world had ever known.”
In 2019, Oceanic Inc, an oceanography company based from Los Angeles, pinpointed the exact location of the city of Atlantis with the use of a newly redeveloped electron radar known as Magnetic Anomaly Detection.  With its location submerged under the icy-cold waters of the Atlantic Ocean, Oceanic scientists deployed a magnitude of technological developments and barriers that provided researchers & engineers direct access to the entrance gates of Atlantis.
Unsuccessful in manipulating the secrets to enter the city gates, Oceanic Inc, is now hiring a team of scientists, historians, and archeologists that may possess the intelligence required to enter the ancient city and ultimately unveil the anticipated phenomena of Atlantis: The Forgotten City.

Really great escape room! There was a lot to explore and discover and tons of well thought out puzzles. The space was surprisingly large. The decorations were very immersive and the high tech mechanisms were really impressive.

Our game master was awesome. He was super friendly and you could tell he was genuinely passionate about escape rooms. We arrived late and he was very accommodating and made it work for us.

Overall it was an awesome experience and definitely one of the best escape rooms I’ve done. Highly recommend!

Between the years 1870 and 1900, Mentryville, a small oil drilling town of 200 residents was an ideal community of modest homes and puritan ideals. A seemingly perfect, quiet town to raise a family... but few know of Mentryville's darkest secret.

Celebrating my 200s with the Ghost of Mentryville (Sam) and we had a blast. And what a unique experience! You’re with the Ghost the whole time helping them remember what happened. What you uncover will shock you and some choices will be made! There’s some really cool locks, maybe some belong in a museum cause they’re that old! The craftsmanship is amazing! We all left feeling “WOOOWW!!”  Don’t miss out check it out!

It had been years since I’ve done ROT and DAMN has it improved. It’s awesome. Very scary. The actors know the right place to hide and the perfect time to come out. Some of them talked to you and those were the best. The sets were great. Decor detailed. I wanted to spend time in some rooms admiring it. It was tight with some tight corners/hallways but would eventually lead to a bigger room. It verges on too long. At some point, I was sweating from being scared and tired from the up down adrenaline that I felt finished, but it was right around the time that the maze came to an end. 
My voice is hoarse from laughing and screaming for 45 mins straight. So much fun.
