    We had a blast doing the Sherlock room. Amy was the best GameMaster. We've done a lot of Escape…read moreRooms and this was one of the best. Thanks Amy!

    Two Trees was such a great experience for us that we came back to take on the rooms we hadn't done…read moreyet. A 3 room day as we took the on "Curse of the Kraken," "The Nightmare Realm" and "The Sherlock Society." We were greeted by our game master Clarissa who is fantastic by the way. She went over the rules and gave us the story and we were on our way to adventure. We were able to take down all 3 rooms in under the time limit and they were great. Clarissa was so helpful to the group noticing when we were really stuck and offering just a slight nudge but not giving us a direct clue unless we asked. We needed a helping hand in The Nightmare Realm but we did very well on our own in the other 2 rooms. Curse of the Kraken is a small room but there is so much going on in that small space, we really enjoyed the assortment of puzzles and challenges in that room. The Nightmare Realm was our least favorite of the day but we still enjoyed it, the room has taken over where another room we previously did used to be and it has some similarities in design but all new puzzles and challenges. Sherlock Society was our favorite room of the day, we didn't need any hints in this room but still cut it close escaping at the 52 minute mark. The room is so unique and has some incredibly unique puzzles to solve, we really enjoyed every aspect of it. It was another great experience and I highly recommend all escape room lovers try out Two Trees.

    So I need to begin my review by saying a HUGE THANK YOU to Erick!…read more If I could make the font bigger and bolder I would have. Erick- you are the man, your business is awesome and my friends and I appreciate the fun you let us have while we were escaping! It was clear when we got to Real Escape that this place is the real deal. There are nerds happily playing Magic across the parking lot and inside nerds were sportin Star Wars tattoos and making Harry Potter references. My nerd friends and I fit in instantly which was quite welcoming! I purchased the Groupon offered for six people for $89 and it was well worth the price. When we arrived we were all kinda disappointed from our previous activity not playing out the way it was supposed to and most of us had a strong buzz. Erick, the little prince that he is, somehow managed to wrangle us and somewhat explain what our goal was. Once we got in the room all six of us discussed that we weren't listening at all so we just started tearing the place apart looking for clues and keys. We had a walkie-talkie that we used for clues but it was also used for teasing and banter from Erick and his associate. After we escaped like the champions we are (with 7 minutes to spare), Erick offered to take us into their shop. In this shop they are creating Star Wars and Super Hero replicas they are selling, have parts and pieces of old rooms lying around and so much more. It was amazing. It was the hall of dreams!! Erick even showed me photos of his gorgeous daughter's costume makeup skills. We all had such a great time that before we even left the parking lot the six of use decided we were going to come back once the room switched to a new theme.

    As a big escape room enthusiast I've been intrigued by Real Escape for a bit but hesitant to book…read moredue to some questionable reviews. I decided to message them and ask them about the reviews, they brought it to my attention that there are new owners and the room that created so many of the negative reviews as in place when they took over, they have since removed it and added new rooms of their own. We booked both of their current rooms (Bayou Mystery and Bird Movie) this weekend for my wife's birthday to give it a shot. The Bayou mystery room is visually really nice. I like the setup a lot, the sounds/music is nice and the story was great. The room needs something else, I don't know exactly what but it needs something a little more innovative maybe? The room was just a few puzzles and a couple different types of locks, I was looking for something just a little more like a more interactive puzzle, something mechanical, idk just something to give it a little different feel than puzzle, lock, puzzle lock, rinse and repeat. The Bird Movie room is fantastic. It has a lot of different elements and the puzzles are fantastic. This room really had a great feel to it and it's really difficult, we enjoyed it a lot and would highly recommend it . Overall it was a great experience, the staff is very friendly and helpful. We let them know we love escape rooms but aren't great at them so they were very kind in giving us a nudge in the right direction when we got lost (which was often.) Thanks for a great time and we'll be back to try out new rooms in the future as they become available.
