    The entrance.

    The Weeping Witch escape room has been on our list to try for a while. We've done around sixty escape rooms, but so far we haven't tried any rooms with a live actor due to a little bit of fear factor. Recently, we were chatting with our game master at another escape room, and they mentioned that The Weeping Witch was a good first room to try with a live actor. With those comments, we went ahead and booked it a few weeks later. Cross Roads Escape Games is easy to find. It's located on a corner in an industrial area and is well marked. There is plenty of parking. The waiting area is spacious, and there is an additional larger waiting room for overflow. There are lockers by the front door to store your belongings. Waivers must be completed in person by scanning a QR code when you arrive, so don't be late. We arrived before our friends, so we chatted a bit with David who would be our game master. Once our friends arrived, we watched an introductory video and entered the room in single file. All parts of the overall experience are pretty dimly lit, and there is definitely a spooky vibe. This was definitely a great introduction to a live-actor room, since the live actor only appears periodically, and you have a hint as to when they are coming. The room has a mix of linear and non-linear puzzles, and we split up at times to conquer different parts of the room. There is a good mix of combo locks, a few key locks, and a lot of great original mechanical puzzles. There are also parts where the whole team must participate together. The clue system is very original, and you must have a certain skill to obtain hints. One person will have to do a little crawling. This was definitely one of the harder rooms we have done. David mentioned that this room only has a 30% escape rate, and we finished with only five seconds left. They do not give extra time even if you are close since the ending is pretty dramatic and is all automated. Bring your A-game! David was an excellent game master. We enjoyed chatting with him both before and after the room. He added some comedic relief via the clue system in an otherwise spooky room. He gave us a few well timed nudges as the clock was ticking quickly, helping us escape with the narrowest of margins. For such a great room, it is very reasonably priced at a flat rate of only $42 per person. This room was probably in our top three of all time. Highly recommended!

    First time here. Such an exhilarating experience in the Hex room. I think this is one of my top escape room experiences. Mina was also super sweet, lively, encouraging, knew her ish very well, and so many great things. Wish there were small snacks like granola bars or jerky to purchase but overall, my experience was amazing. I walked in the building feeling "whatever " but with each minute that passed, and with more info that I was given, I got more and more excited. I drove 2.5 hours away but hope I can go back soon.

    Liv was a great game master! The witch game is super fun. The room was a bit tight compared to other rooms I've been in but overall a good experience and good creativity.

    So much fun and definitely memorable!

    My family and I finally did The Weeping Witch at Crossroads. It was so much fun and Will was a great game master for us. He made sure to support us when we needed it and we were able to finish the room with only 19 seconds to spare. This was our first scary room with a live actor and I would have to say, it was frightening yet exciting at the same time. It's sad that we've finished all the rooms here but we look forward to the future for any new rooms here and will definitely come back. The staff is great here which makes us want to keep coming back!

    Love all the escape room at this place! I've done all three of them and can't give more glowing reviews. David was an amazing game master. I love his witty comments and back and forth interactions. Most game masters would only respond if you want a hint, but in weeping witch I appreciate his quick witted responses and commentary to add a little humor into the already scary room. All rooms are pretty non-linear. Funhouse is a non-scary, circus magician theme. Weeping Witch is a horror, actor supernatural room. Hex room is a horror, multi-character & teamwork room. All unique, interesting puzzles and makes you really do a double take to get through the tasks! Wish I can do them all over again!

    Had a blast but this room was a toughie for sure. Would definitely recommend this place did all three rooms now 2 successful and now 1 loss Mina was a great gamemaster! She scared my sisters boyfriend who is turned away from the camera lol 10/10 would recommend.

    My most immersive escape room to date. All horror fans MUST do the Weeping Witch escape room! My family still talks about how incredible it was. Definitely not for the faint of heart.

    Had a spectacular time doing the Weeping witch room on a Friday evening. Our host Liv was super helpful, entertaining, and made the experience all the more pleasant. Big shout out to Cross Roads for being very accommodating as my group arrived late, but with a call ahead it was totally fine. The room definitely lives up to its difficulty/horror so be prepared, but it was one of the more enjoyable escape rooms I've done!

    We BARELY made it out!

    Is there any crawling in The Hex Room?

    One of the rooms requires crawling to get out, the other 5 do not

    Do you have appropriate escape rooms for 11 year old girls?

    Yes! The Fun House is for all ages with two difficulty levels you can choose from: Kids (best for ages 8-13), and Adults. You can learn more about The Fun House here: https://crossroadsescapegames.com/the-fun-house/

    Is there live actors in the Hex?

    There are no actors inside The Hex Room.

    Can you film?

    Filming and/ or photography is prohibited inside our games. We do allow teams to take a group photo after the game in designated areas.

    I have 9 people for Hex room , it says you may be separated into smaller groups in different rooms . Do these games take place consecutively then?

    No, not consecutive games--it's still one single, the same game, in the same 60 minutes. In Hex Room, ideally, you will play with 6 people total, no more, no less. And everyone is placed in their respective "characters room". Now if you have more,… Read more

    Which is better the psych ward or the hex room?

    Any rooms good for children 8/10 yr old? If so which room?

    Do you have to have more than two people to play? If you don't do they put you with random people?

    Our games are private, so we will never group your team with strangers. The Hex Room and Psych Ward both require at least 5 players for the game to function. The Fun House requires a minimum of 4 tickets purchased to reserve your game, although it… Read more

    Very excited for Psych Ward. When is the release date and can we pre-book for Halloween?

    I got an email saying "The Psych Ward opens this October!...Be on the lookout for an email coming soon with ticket information" I would recommend signing up for their email list if you haven't already. We are pumped for it as well!

    Are there actors inside the room that will chase you, scare you, etc?

    Nope!

    Can any of these escape rooms be done with three people?

    The funhouse can but it's more helpful and fun with more people.

    Are there any jump scares?

    No. When you first go in it is dark and you are guided inside wearing a blindfold but it's not that scary.

    Don’t See Your Question? Ask Away!

Enthralling immersion via use of lighting, music, and SFX. + At the beginning, something happened with the light fixture. We were all wondering if that was intentional xD ominous~ - The part where we saw a paper with many blanks was confusing. We thought we had to fill in the blanks, cuz isn't that the point? Turns out the blanks were supposed to be ignored?? . At one point where we all had to scramble for hiding spots, my glasses got knocked off. - In the waiting room, lotta the puzzles and their solutions were incomplete. - Something confusing about the clue via hands pointing fingers. We asked the staff afterwards, but they weren't sure either. I think the finger formation coulda been clearer and fixed rigid. One hand had 2 fingers fully extended, and a third finger partially extended, so we weren't sure if that hand was indicating 2 or 3. + Decent amount of parking. . They give you a walkie-talkie to keep in touch with the gamemaster throughout your session, which is cool given the mission and more fitting than if the gamemaster kept in touch via intercom. - Unfortunately, this radio can be accidentally turned down or switched channels amidst the horror chaos without your knowledge. + Love that this is the first escape room we've ever been to where the staff give the team one camera to record everything so we can save for fun later. - Downside is the camera recording may be accidentally paused amidst the chaos, and we wouldn't realize we're losing valuable footage. - They don't bookmark any highlights or intense moments for your convenience, so you'll have to find those yourselves as you replay the footage. I heard the staff get bonus for name-drops but forgot the names of our gamemasters, so I'll throw a buncha random ones out. Conan, Youssef, Kai, Sherlock... did I match anyone? Hopefully someone'll get a bonus~ xD ;D

She took the time to chat with us before and after the game, and she was just as excited as we were when we escaped with only a few minutes left on the clock.

This wasn't just an escape room; it was a deeply immersive, high-stakes horror experience. What sets this game apart is how incredibly engaging it is. They offer a choice between contact and full-contact levels, and if you really want the ultimate experience, you absolutely must opt for the full-contact version. It elevated the intensity and made the game feel so much more visceral and real. A huge part of why this was such a standout experience was our Game Master, Marcus. He was phenomenal--professional, attentive, and he truly knew how to guide the game to maximize both the scares and the fun. If you're planning to visit, I highly recommend requesting Marcus as your GM. We had an unforgettable time.

He worked hard to make us feel like we were truly trapped in a scary scenario, sprinkling just the right amount of tension, dread, and "oh no what did we get ourselves into?" energy. It was spooky, fun, and slightly unhinged -- which we loved. We're already planning our return for the Zoe room, and I cannot wait to willingly walk back into fear. If you like your fun a little dark, a little twisted, and very immersive, this is absolutely the place.
