Me and my bf visited from LA and do a lot of escape rooms. We ended up doing 2 back to back here and we were on a roll! Well done rooms where you can do multiple puzzles at the same time. Our game master Tanner was a great help!

Room was innovative and challenging. I loved the components that split our group, and forced us to work collaboratively. Laron was great; really helpful and knowledgeable about the room. Front desk staff were super friendly. Definitely book ahead as this place gets busy, and deservedly so!

My friend and I really enjoyed the experience! It was a very memorable visit. Also the customer service was fantastic. I had a gift code from 7 years ago, that I hadn't used. The website system wasn't recognizing the code. The customer service refunded the gift coupon amount even though it was so old. I was so happy. Highly recommend!

We had an amazing time solving the infirmary escape room. Super clever puzzles and clues — and when we asked for a hint we immediately got super relevant info that was helpful but didn’t spoil the game. I’d definitely come back and try the rest of the rooms!

Rooney was a great host and let us start our game early. Very helpful with game rules. Tommy was a fantastic game guide. And was so funny and helpful. We got the record as of March 16 for Mountain Top Murders. Group of three, rime of 42 ish minutes and one hint. Hells ya. You should definitely check this place out!
