Jada was an amazing host to the game! We didn’t win but it was so great! They went above and beyond for us!
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for families with teenagers and adults who enjoy team problem-solving under time pressure. Younger children under ten may find the puzzle logic and theming difficult to engage with independently.

“We have been to this escape room a few times and enjoyed it. We had to reschedule from an emergency that made us unable to go a few months ago in which they allowed us to put the paid balance toward our new booking. I feel they need to do some work on the place. The bathroom was terribly dirty like leafs and debris everywhere. Things were dusty and just didn’t seem to be kept up well. The witch’s cabin room had one major part of the whole thing “broken” and kind of ruined a bit of the experience for us. We ended up guessing a few of the puzzle pieces and ended up finishing early but it just seemed a bit not kept up well. For the price they need to do some work on this place. The staff were friendly but she was by herself and felt rushed.”

“Really not very good. We did the Witch's Cabin. Seemed like a lot of the props around the room were broken. The tasks did not flow well, and when we got clues, twice they were things we had already done. Certainly not going to try the other two rooms. There are much better escape rooms near by for the same price.”
