Ainsley was awesome and this was a wonderful experience, we will be coming back!!

Best for families with kids aged 10 and up. The Apartment is the right starting point for mixed-age groups or first-timers. The Clocktower suits families with older teens and adults who want a serious challenge. Unlimited hints make both rooms accessible without frustration.
