    Weeping Witch
    Victoria G.

    We did Weeping Witch and our game master was Liv!! She was outstanding. It's so hard to find an escape room with a live actor. This venue had high reviews and it lived up to it. Weeping Witch was probably the scariest escape room I've ever done and we were surprised that we escaped with THREE SECONDS left. lmao. Highly recommend pushing your limits and trying out this room! Impressive and creative puzzles that were very interactive. Thank you again, Liv for creating such a spooky and immersive environment!! Memories were made!!

    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!

    We had my son's 9th birthday party here and the kids had a blast. I was looking for an Escape room that is kid friendly and have an area for the party after and Cross Roads Escape Games was perfect. The kids tried to escape from the Fun House, and while they didn't succeed. they still thoroughly had fun. Shout out to staffs for being patience with us and our game master, Molly. We had the private room reserved after the game too and it was a perfect environment for the kids to enjoy their time. Would definitely recommend.

    First time at CrossRoads Escape Games. We did the Weeping Witch and had a great time. It was fun experience with some scares and great challenges to solve. Mina was our game master and she was awesome, made it a great experience.

    Wow this escape room was next level. Having a live actor and a dynamic and interactive room made for an immersive experience where it felt like there was something on the line. Never had anything like that where it feels like there's imminent threat of danger despite being assured otherwise. Highly recommend. Adding to the interactive experience was our all-knowing game master Coraline who kept things running smoothly for us. Even her assistance behind the scenes was done in a way that integrated seamlessly into the environment. Overall, a well-crafted, thoughtful narrative, and good challenge to any problem solvers out there. I do wish I had more jokes to tell.

    Ask the Community - Cross Roads Escape Games

    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,… 

    Which is better the psych ward or the hex room?

    It all depends. Hex Room, you are separated, so if you and your group are confident in your skills in an escape room, I suggest you go for it. If you feel you need a little more help and works well with others, I recommend The Psych Ward. Both are… 

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

    YUP! Fun House - kids version is the only possible one here for kiddos. but the BEST one for teens/adults would be HEX 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… 

    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!

The puzzles were challenging without feeling like a stretch. Everything made sense, flowed naturally, and the clues led logically to the next step. There were a couple of skill-based elements that involved a little luck, but nothing frustrating or unfair. Also, despite the music theme, you don't need any musical knowledge or skills to complete the room. A huge shoutout to Veronica, our game host. She was incredibly friendly, fun, and genuinely excited about our experience. 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. If you're looking for a fun, well-designed escape room with great staff, The Mad Rapper at Scenario Escape Room is an easy recommendation. We'll definitely be back the other room!

Totally wish there was another room in the works because we LOVE Mad Rapper and Dr Hader's so much. It also is so impressive because this isn't some big chain that just pushes out collab-themed rooms. It is privately owned and is unique from all other murder mystery-- alien-- creepy cabin etc. if you haven't tried any of Scenario's rooms-- it's a must! Note: we did have 8 with a bunch of newbies and there was enough to keep everyone engaged at all times.

The 3-year-old loved it too, which says a lot. What also stood out was how much thought and effort clearly went into the room design and technology. Jeremy explained some of it to us afterward, and even though he described it as rudimentary, our minds were kind of blown. You can tell a lot of care went into creating an experience that feels immersive, playful, and actually doable for kids. It's such a good summertime or year-round activity because you get a full hour in an air-conditioned space, off your phones, doing something interactive together. If you're looking for a family-friendly, kid-friendly group activity for around 3 to 7 or 8 people, this is such a good one. The concept is also just really cute and fun. You get to pretend to be cats in a litter box/play area, unleash your inner child, and think outside the box a little. Would absolutely recommend for families.
