So fun! We did an outing for the lawyers and SOs of our small firm to The Escape Room and had a blast. We did it during Zombie Week which was wicked fun (and kind of freaky!). The clues were challenging, but achievable, and the room was very well designed. Cool artifacts! The staff was awesome, and we all had a wicked good laugh when it was all over. (We got out of the room in the nick of time!) Highly recommended for a group of friends, or even for a company outing or team-building event. Many thanks to Dave and his team!

So fun! Creative, cooperative group puzzle solving to decode clues and discover combination lock codes, enabling you to escape the immersion room. Your group is given one hour to find the solutions that will let you out of a locked room. They have several differently themed rooms, our group was in the Egyptian room. There was also a western room, a London Blitz room and another they are in the process of creating. :-)

We did the London Blitz room, which was an excellent experience! The puzzles were fun, though one of them seemed a bit too vague to get without asking for help, and there was another one that was easy to figure out but was difficult to make work. You get three hints throughout the hour, and the proctors are quite helpful and generous! This is a great room for anyone from beginner to veteran escape roomers!

My wife and I just tried to go to the escape room on a birthday date night. It was a Thursday at 745 pm and we got to the door to find it locked. After about 5 minutes of waiting and knocking still no luck. Tried to call but only got a machine. According to their website they should have been open (430 to 9 pm). Wont be going back.

Definitely a unique form of entertainment, if you are fond of puzzles and riddles and have a good group of friends working with you. My only complaint is the price point: $20 per person for <60 minutes of this experience seems very steep, especially if you are partnered with strangers to meet the 10 person per-room quota.

Posting this from the Steven King escape room itself. They will pair you with other groups if needed to make as large of a group as possible, and it gets crowed -especially if there are children. I wouldnt recommend this particular establishment. Bring your phone to Google dates you might not know from memory.

Fun, unique experience. ..if you are looking for something different to do this weekend this is good time. Make sure you bring friends a good collection of friends. Youll want some straight forward logicall thinkers as well as some who can think outside the box.

Perfect for puzzle solvers. So many riddles that force even very intelligent people to work together. It induces as much flow as video games, but it actually counts as getting out of the house. A little more expensive than it seems like it needs to be though.

Went with a group of four and this was our 1st experience with an Escape room. WE LOVED IT! So much fun and we escaped! We cut it close to the time limit, so we were never bored. We cant wait to do one again!

My husband and I had a great experience. The safe was very friendly and helpful. The theme was fun and challenging. We definitely got our moneys worth. We would definitely go again in the future.

Fun, well thought out puzzles. 10 people can make it a little crowded, so Id recommend either buying out the entire time slot or finding people you work well with on these kinds of things.

Very fun and challenging! Everyone in my group contributed and wet managed to get out with 10 minutes to spare and only used one hint. You gotta try out out!

The bunker was amazing! It was just two of us but we still were really close to getting out and had a great time. Lots of stairs to get there though

We had a fantastic time! Although we did not make it out of the shipwreck we had a blast trying. We are already talking about a return visit.

Had a birthday party for a group of 12 year old boys. They all had fun and when it was over, immediately wanted to do another one.

Great experience. Two of us played the game alone and the game master was very helpful without making it too easy. Recommended.

We had so much fun! This was great for a small group -- no more than five people. The price is right, and the place is cool.

Its a challenging experience. Recommend going with people you know as it will be a better experience and not awkward.

Small. Quick. Finished with 23 mins on the clock. There are much better alternatives. Pass on this.
