Neighborhood Watcher

Neighborhood Watcher was by far our favorite escape room so far. This was our first time at TEV and we are definitely coming back to do the rest! Mr. Carey was portrayed by Felix and he did an amazing job. We all felt immersed in the situation. I love how he made us pinky swear to not touch his stuff and then scolded my teenage son when he was caught with one of the toys in his hands. The room flowed naturally and we felt a sense of excitement, anxiousness and immersion that we haven’t felt in other escape rooms in the area. We will definitely be back soon to try Cornstalkers and the other rooms.

Ashley was our GM for this room, and she cranked up the intensity level to 11 with her acting. Out of the 120-ish rooms that I’ve done, her performance was easily in the top 3. Like, whoa. Another great thing about this room was its devilishly clever use of space. It’s actually a pretty small footprint, but takes advantage of multiple levels to maximum (and terrifying) effect. I’d recommend this room to anyone who likes nostalgia-driven 80’s experiences (a la Stranger Things), or light horror themes. Such a fun room!

Bruh. This escape room was so good. The atmosphere, the live actor, it all. At one point my sister wasn’t moving fast enough and I jumped over her to get away lol. My knees will never recover, but the memories I’ll cherish forever. The puzzles weren’t too hard, but that was helpful because it will be hard to fully focus.

One of the best rooms I have done. The actor in the room makes it.

Would definitely recommend this to anyone in the area. Such a great themed place and room. Staff is amazing and their rooms are on point. Looking forward to getting some more done!!

The Neighborhood Watcher was different! The set was well done, the actor interactions were as terrifying as they were offsetting. I enjoyed the various sets we came across, and thought they were quite well done. The premise was unique, and the set evoked some nostalgia. Puzzles were logical and clear. This game really shines with the actor interaction. Not our groups favorite but a unique game that I think anyone would hate to miss. James was a great GM!

What an amazing room! The live actor was great and honestly really freaked us out. It was so much fun and the mechanics and puzzles were super fun for the group we went with!

Wow, SUCH a fun experience!! This was just the perfect level of spooky and creepy with so many fun puzzles and an iconic Escape Ventures character!

I have been looking forward to visiting Escape Ventures and they did not disappoint. We were from out of town and played all 6 of their escape rooms in one day. It was such a great time and I cannot thank the team enough for treating us so well and making us laugh, chasing us around, and giving us the best experience of a lifetime. Now for Neighborhood Watcher: Our experience was 100000% so much better because of our actor. This room deserves all the accolades and I remember thinking, if this is how I’m going to die, it’s probably for the best. The live actor added to the thrill of the experience because you were never really sure how much time you had to work on each puzzle. The puzzles were thematic and their pacing felt just right. You could request to have less jump scares, but somehow we forgot to ask and we ended up getting through the experience. This is definitely a divide and conquer situation and the references felt nostalgic for the 90’s kids in us.
