“Some really imaginative puzzles in this space! This room hits a nice balance - if you're a family or new to escape rooms, this room is not too challenging. However, if you're a puzzle person, the bonus puzzles were especially tricky (even for me). Really clever room, and great set-dressing, too.”

“This room felt like we were actually magic 🪄 Puzzles were perfectly on-theme and use of tech really supported the feeling of being in a magical space. We couldn't stop praising the many stellar (and sometimes subtle) design choices on the drive back. Puzzle quality was also astounding, puzzles were varied in style and difficulty, creating a game where everyone could play to their strengths. We have nothing but praise for this room, and are excited to try the other rooms at this location!”

“I’ve almost done all the Raven Chase adventure escape rooms both at this location and Herndon, and this room lives up to the standards I have for them. This room is pretty small, so if you’re going with people that love escape rooms, I suggest four people being the absolute max. The puzzles in this room were pretty on par with other escape rooms by this company. There is a few really clever puzzles, and almost all of them fit in with the theme of the room. Lots of cool little Easter eggs in the room. The atmosphere is what really gave this room a heart rather than a thumbs up. While it may be small, I was surprised how much they were able to Jam Pack into this room, and really make it feel like an 80s or 90s arcade you see at a bowling alley, right down to the classic carpet. My only gripe is that they had some awesome classic rock playing, but it was so quiet you couldn’t hear it most of the time.”

“I cannot rave enough about this room. This was sooo much fun. It was just mildly creepy and had a couple jump scares but that just amplified the feel of the room. The puzzles flowed together extremely well! And most importantly, we got our gold pins after doing this room for doing doing all of escape room Herndon’s rooms.”

“TL:DR - an amazing room with fun puzzles and atmosphere. Inspired by gravity Falls, So if you’ve seen the show, you will get more enjoyment out of it, however, you will still love this room, even if you haven’t seen it. Yet another room that Raven Chase has knocked out of the park. We were excited to try out the new room as we have played all the other rooms at this location, and we all agreed this was either our favorite room or our second favorite room. There was a cute little story to go along, which led to a fun little ending. The atmosphere to go along with it was amazing. I feel like they could’ve added a few more fun gift store props on the floor of the main area, but other than that, it was great! I think when it comes to the puzzles, this room is their strongest. There was a lot of fun, cool, diverse clever puzzles in this one. While one or two stumped us for a little bit, we thought all puzzles were fair. This room is heavily inspired by gravity Falls, so if you’ve seen the show, you will get A LOT of added excitement out of this room, but if you haven’t seen the show, this is still a very solid room. The difficulty in this room was pretty medium, if you’re going with a group of escape room enthusiast, four people is ideal for this room. However, I will say it wouldn’t be bad to have a few more as there are a lot of puzzles to solve. I look forward to your future rooms Raven Chase! -Your number 1 fan”

“One of my favorites by this group! I love 2nd gen puzzles and this had plenty. It was linear and we felt like it was suitable for 2 players but you wouldn't want more than 4. Overall great gameplay & story!”

“This game was super super fun and the people who work here were wonderful! We had a group of 6 and got out with 9 seconds to spare! Most of the group were inexperienced escape roomers with the exception of me (I’ve done about 70 rooms). Everyone in our group had an absolute blast. No mechanical issues either which was great. 10/10 recommend”

“The Escape Game does is again! This room has a quirky interpretation of an submarine, letting me live out my Life Aquatic fantasies. Like all The Escape Game rooms, expect top notch theming, story telling, and puzzle design.”

“Wonderful room, clearly constructed with a lot of care! Good flow, high-tech, strong storyline, and diverse puzzle types (+ hilarious intro video). We did this room as a group of two and finished with 3 minutes to spare. Hope to see more rooms from Cyber Racoon in the future!”

“This is my favorite room in one of my favorite venues. The way it’s laid out is just very cool. It’s almost minimalist but there are a lot of clues to solve and they all relate to supervillains. If you were into comics as a kid you will enjoy this game”

“This game was awesome! Our favorite one at this location. Incredible environment, story, and gameplay. We feared the Morse code puzzle but it was great. I guess we think similarly to the designers. Highly recommend - you won’t be disappointed.”

“TLDR: fun room with decent puzzles and a great atmosphere. I was a bit worried when I saw this was a smaller room, but wanted to try it since Raven Chase has yet to put out a bad room, it actually turned out to be very fun with plenty of clues. (For a group of 4, all with escape room experience) Gameplay: the gameplay was very fun. While none of the clues heavily stood out, they were all still fun to solve. The four of us didn’t get caught up too much, and we had about 10 minutes to spare so there was enough to do in the small room and was happy with how dense it was. Other reviews have mentioned this but I will also agree with there being one clue that was very vague on how you were supposed to figure it out. It was an awesome idea, but definitely a small nudge somewhere to help would have been nice. Atmosphere: raven Chase has always thrived in this category. All there rooms (for the most part) make you feel like you’re in whatever theme it’s supposed to be and this is no different. You step in it feels like an arcade you went to as a kid at a bowling alley or movie theater. From the retro carpeting, to all the arcade cabinets, to the music playing in the background, it was definitely a cool room to be in. Also, a big plus that all of the clues revolves around the retro theme, with a very cool ending that we were all talking about afterwards.”

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!
