You’ve heard whispered tales of a mysterious book collection and its curator, an elusive figure known only as Jak. Rumor has it that Jak is seeking adventurous souls to retrieve a valuable item, a treasure which Jak claims to have lost in a most peculiar place… Do you dare to answer Jak’s summons and explore the secrets of the hidden library?

We had a great time with The Storykeeper! Did this as a group of two and we were appropriately prompted towards solutions when needed. Only used a couple of hints; the storybook hint system is a nice touch. Theming is great and transitions between rooms are very well done. We enjoyed Jak’s eccentricity.

The Great Noximillian, world-renowned magician, is hiding more than just tricks up his sleeve. His past five assistants have mysteriously gone missing, each after their 13th performance with Noximillian. Now his latest assistant, Casey, has contacted you for help in uncovering the truth behind these disturbing disappearances.  On the night of Casey’s 13th show, you are tasked with investigating The Great Noximillian’s private dressing room while the magician is busy on stage.  You have 75 minutes to find what Noximillian has been hiding and solve the mystery before the show is over and Casey’s time is up!

Very challenging room for 2 people.  We had a blast playing it and were only 2 puzzles away from finishing.

Afterwards was surprised the room is 11 years old.  Everything worked and there weren't a lot of signs of wear and tear.  Puzzles were mostly "make you think" versus do something, so bring your brain in tip top shape.

Very nice game master and we were treated well doing both rooms back to back.

The Vanishing Act

New Year’s Eve, 1961. Notorious gambler and suspected arms dealer M. Delune has invited a crowd of VIP guests to a celebratory gala at the fabulous Monteverdi casino…and your name is on the guest list. What the partygoers don’t know is that Delune is orchestrating the sale of a nuclear weapon at midnight. What Delune doesn’t know is that you, a team of elite spies, have infiltrated the party to thwart this scheme. Can you complete your mission and stop Delune before the clock strikes midnight, all without showing your hand?

This is a unique and very fun experience! Be ready to put your thinking cap on as some of the puzzles are pretty tricky. We participated in a group of 40, and everyone was busy the whole time moving all around. It really does handle large groups well. The staff at Locurio is amazing, if you ever have the opportunity to play this, DO IT!

Some legends are true.

In the early 1980s, a new arcade machine called POLYBIUS was distributed to arcades around the Pacific Northwest. Shortly after its release, reports of strange behaviors by players began to surface; Whispers of mind control, government conspiracy, and living machines emerged. Then, all Polybius machines mysteriously disappeared.

Decades later, an abandoned storage unit is discovered—its contents largely untouched. Inside, the space is filled with remnants and forgotten mementos from the 80s. A single arcade cabinet lurks ominously in the corner.

Can you uncover the truth behind the legend of Polybius?

Neon Shadows is a great room. Very puzzle heavy, though it’s adaptive to group pace. Cool effects, creative use of props, and clever puzzling. 

I didn’t get to play the original, but I’ve heard it’s definitely been upgraded. Highly recommend if you’re anywhere near Seattle.

Your group finds itself trapped in a spooky cabin, about to meet your fate with a coven of witches and an ancient spell! Can you escape before they arrive?

Legend tells of a coven within Seattle that gathers every decade to perform a spell and extend their mortality. They lure helpless travelers deep within the woods, as sacrifices for their black magic. You and your group of friends happen to be lost in the woods, just in time for this supposed ritual...but that's just a legend, right?

Very awesome room!  Had three interactive areas and each was unique.  The theme is great and the puzzles all tied to it well.  A couple unique puzzles and some really well done ones we've seen before.

“Bad Children go to The Bad Place.” This refrain was common many years ago when Nightfall Orphanage still stood. Many in the community thought it was merely an archaic form of discipline for unruly children, until they began to realize…that all the children were bad.

Mr. Black invites you to step back into the Bad Place, a gateway into the phantasmagoric realm of the Dark Reach that exists in the shadows between worlds. The radiant abyss where spectral echoes of what once was, and what should not be, materialize and take shape.

They burned Nightfall Orphanage to the ground years ago…But sometimes evil rises from the ashes, some echoes never really fade, and some shadows never see the light.

Our organization, NebTech, has tracked energetic anomalies in the geographic vector that houses the Georgetown Steam Plant. It’s almost as if their spirits are stirring in the air around us. We believe, with the right number of souls present, we may be able to finally discover what happened to these intrepid mystics, and even open the portal itself.

Will you be one of those souls?

Prepare for an intimate exploration of the site. Our guides, trained in the latest in interactive technology, will unveil the secrets within. With your help, we hope they will reveal the true nature of the ghosts in the Georgetown Steam Plant. In each tour, four individuals will have the opportunity for an even closer look into the beyond, if they dare.

We can hear them calling. They’re close. Experience the ultimate supernatural adventure with Seattle’s premiere creators of immersive theatrical experiences!

You are captured by a serial killer. Tied up and left in his apartment, escape is your only chance. You have 1 hour to escape, or the next body in a morgue will be yours.

Fox in a Box really delivered on this room, I love their commitment to immersion. You do not need to know any history about the Zodiac Killer to complete this room, but it's nice to have some back story to appreciate their attention to detail in creating this room. My team had a lot of fun working through the puzzles. Keep in mind that at least one person in your group should be comfortable with small spaces before playing this game.

Zodiac Killer

It’s up to you and your team to bring the joy of Christmas to this safe haven. Working together, you’ll solve festive puzzles, unlock the secrets of the enchanted Lunarian Forest, and rediscover what makes the holiday season truly magical. With every clue you uncover and each act of kindness you show to these rescued creatures, you’ll help restore the light, laughter, and warmth that will ultimately become the foundation and the legacy of the Magical Menagerie.

Another amazing room by this company. Room was on the smaller size but highly recommend for Christmas lovers. 
Game flow was amazing, there were some new features in this game that were very unique and we hadn't yet experienced them in any of the 43 other rooms we have done. Highly recommend.

Magical Menagerie: A Christmas Adventure

Summer is here! Well, almost… If you and your friends are going to leave for summer vacation, you’ll need your final report card. Here’s the problem, you haven’t finished your work and these assignments are unlike anything you’ve encountered in a classroom before. Luckily, you’ve got a great squad and everyone brings something different to the table. Band together to ace the ultimate group project. Pass or fail, you’re in this together!

This room was the absolute highlight of our trip! 1000% cant recommend enough. it was so lighthearted, wholesome and best of all SO MUCH FUN! All the puzzles made sense (one was really hard, and not our favorite style but we wont hold it against them since this room was AMAZING otherwise). We escaped with 1 minute to spare using 3 well experienced players. We could have definitely used 1 more person, So a minimum of 4 is probably best but holy cow, Kudos to the makers- this room was a hit!

The Escape Game

Playground

A lone pixie has taken over Stout Oak Tavern and is causing mischief and mayhem among my patrons. The tavern is now closed until someone can figure out what it will take for her to leave. I tried setting up traps, but she evaded all of them. That little bugger is smarter than I expected.

Anyway, she was so perturbed by my traps that she set up a series of challenges and is now saying a group of adventurers will need to complete them before she’ll even say what she wants from us. Oh, and she made it abundantly clear that I must not join you. I guess she’s still bitter about that trap thing..

Fun overall room. Decent variety in puzzle styles. Locks were mostly numerical, letters, and keys. Only tough part was a part of the rooks that was not super friendly for the vertically challenged. But overall a great room with an amazing host in Kyra!

A peaceful city, shimmering below the waves, faces an unexpected menace.

Greeting Divers!

The citizens of Shimmer Reef have activated their distress beacon and evacuated the underwater city. Time is running out to save this cultural treasure from destruction.

Hurry below the sea with your fishy guide and scuba gear to see if you can save the day!

Our GM, Will, was great! So chill and friendly. Room was so fun, probably my favorite in this location, so thematic. We had three experienced players in our group and it was a perfect mix of puzzles that could be done simultaneously vs together. None of us ever lacked for something to work on but it still took most our time to escape.
