"This room was very memorable. It isn’t the type of storyline I’m usually drawn to, but it was honestly very well done with a lot of cool effects. With a group on the larger size, there were still things for everyone to be working on at pretty much all times."

"Very cool and unique. I did expect it to be more challenging and scary - it’s a good medium/easy and is more eerie/gross than scary. I’d still absolutely recommend playing it. Herndon always kills it!"

"The game was significantly better than I expected. Puzzles were innovative and allowed multiple people to do things instead of being all logic that limits to a specific demographic. Overall a great room."

"This was such a great theme for a room, with several really neat puzzles to solve. The ending is a little lackluster, but the journey there is a blast. This is a great room if you’ve got kids with you, or really enjoy classic magic stories."

Remember those point-and-click adventure games where you’re locked in a room and have to solve puzzles to find the key and escape? Those online games were the original inspiration for the live escape rooms you’ll find all across the world today. An escape room is an immersive experience where you (and your team of 2 or more people) are locked in a room with a series of puzzles for 60 minutes. To escape and win the game, you have to look for clues, solve the puzzles, and find the key. While most escape rooms only give you 60 minutes to complete the challenge, others may have shorter or longer time limits. Many venues are private rooms where you and your team are the only players. However, some places may pair you with other groups who booked a slot at the same time. And don’t worry about getting stuck, asking for hints on a difficult puzzle is totally normal. While the original escape room (created by SCRAP in 2007) had a fairly simple aesthetic, today’s escape games often take you into a different world. Artistic set designs, secret doors, and unique interactive elements are all part of the fun. It’s like an adventure game that you can interact with in real life. But if you’re hoping to preview any rooms before you book a game somewhere, detailed images and videos can be hard to find. To keep the puzzles a secret and preserve the experience of seeing the room for the first time, most venues only offer a few photos or a short trailer about the room’s theme or narrative. The only way to know what it’s like is to go and try it for yourself!
