Crane Manor

Great room. Many puzzle so recommend at least a 4 people group to attempt. Had the spooky vibe without it being super scary. The room was well designed and all the puzzles made sense.

This was one of my favorite escape rooms. I really liked that it was non-linear. That meant everyone could be working on something.

My husband and I completed this room with very little time leftover. We got hung up using one of the props incorrectly, but the Game Master didn't let us spend too long making such a dumb mistake. This room starts as a hallway but gradually expands to different sections of "the manor" and ends up covering a large area of space. It would be helpful to have a medium sized group so that you can speak to eachother from different rooms, without overcrowding in the beginning. The scary elements were not in play the whole time, or in every room. I don't enjoy being scared so I liked that I could step into less scary zones to take a breath when I started feeling anxious. I don't think it would make a good first room, but it is absolutely worth doing.

They do a fantastic job on all their rooms. We played this room with our 2 older children, 18 and 16 yo respectively. The puzzles were intuitive and satisfying.

Awesome experience, one of the best rooms we've done. So many things to do you will need to use your time wisely.

Really enjoyed this game. Love the theme. We liked this one more than Excalibur (which is still a fun game). The final room, however, could use a bit more signposting to improve the game flow. But overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our experience.

My partner and I were looking for an escape room and this location won awards so we took the chance. We drove out from Baltimore and we were not disappointed. We escaped the Crane Manor for two people at the 57 minute mark, so it is definitely doable with a duo but could also be enjoyable with a group of three to four. The puzzles were intuitive and stayed true to the story. The production is also of the highest quality. I could see why this location has the reviews and is very well-liked by enthusiasts!

Great feel for an escape room. I felt the puzzles were all intuitive and felt great to solve. Would highly recommend! We did this with just two people, I think 3-4 is ideal to get everyone involved but 2 is very manageable. The story of the headless horseman now has us added to the list :) There will be some loud noises but venture forth! Be not afraid.

One of the biggest escape rooms i’ve ever done !! super fun and very well thought out !!

Wow just wow! This was my 4/4 Clue IQ room and boy did I save the best for last!! Typically I complete rooms in duos but finally I could wrangle up a squad of 4 so we decided to tackle this room - also mind you, we all had trepidation over the slight horror theme of this room. Long story short, the 75 mins of the room, the awesome theme, and wonderful design blew us all away :) My siblings, who are quite the escape room critics said no one room will match up to how great this room was! Additionally my brother said this - THIS is what I’ve THOUGHT escape rooms would be like but had never experienced until now. But more on the room - we would recommend 4/6 as the ideal amount for maximum gameplay. The puzzles were plentiful and fun - while they’re challenging, we were able to return to them at later points and solve them with no problem - which is always fun and reassuring! The multi-linear pathways and approaches Clue IQ is known for is always appreciative and so brilliantly done - bravo. The space was deceptively incredible! The manor is such a fun theme that’s conceals so much left to be discovered. While we had hunches and suspicions, for things to be revealed later on was so deliciously satisfying in the gameplay. Also, there was for once the RIGHT balance mixture of keys/locks with props and aesthetics - it was refreshing to bounce back and forth naturally and get your fix of both in such a fun and positive way. Kudos to Clue IQ, seriously! Almost done here….. I’ve never been in a room with so many jump scares - it was HILARIOUS to see and hear everyone in our party squeal at various points throughout the game (me included). They truly were authentic, unsuspecting, and original. These moments were so well thought out and greatly planned! Lastly, before CM, my favorite room was Excalibur here at Clue IQ. While I still love the latter, Crane Manor now has overtaken it. I so highly recommend this establishment and appreciate all that they offer to this local community and my beloved state. I’m only say that I’ll never get to experience this room for the first time ever again!
