Audrey was the best! We chose the hardest room accidentally for our first time and we were able to manage to get it done with a minute & 19 seconds to spare! She made us feel very welcome and helped us with a smile on her face & in her voice. Would definitely come again! 10/10 experience!!!

Our family of four (2 adults and 2 kids 8 & 10 y/o) did Game of Stones with Maggie as our game master and had a great time. Despite getting there a bit late, they were very accomidating and pleasant.
Kids had fun and we will definitely go back to try out some different rooms.

We did Game of Stones on a Sunday night at 9:30. The setup and ambience was surreal. Very immersive. The game master Audrey was very attentive and paid close attention so as soon as we needed a hint, she provided it immediately! I would highly recommend her as a game master to people considering Center City Escape! Merry Christmas all!

This was our first time here and we absolutely loved it! Maggie was such a helpful and friendly host. Because of her, we immediately booked another room. Definitely recommend coming here if you’re a lover of escape rooms. You won’t be dissatisfied! Book with Maggie !

Our group had a fun experience with "Sleeping Spirits", and even got a record for the month. Room difficulty ratings are highly dependant upon how many people you have working at a time, which we should've taken into account. There were some cool set gimmicks, it was just way too dark in this particular room (we ended up wishing there were flashlights to use)! Be warned of the weird building navigation to get to this business, too. Overall, not my preferred escape room place, but plenty enjoyable.
