Would love to come back and do another escape room theme!

Per my son, "this was his best birthday party ever and I want all my parties here from now on." It…read morewas definitely on the pricier side of parties we've done in the past, but the experiences were worth the splurge. Everyone seemed timid at first to throw or smash an item, but as soon as they did, it was on! 35 minutes doesn't seem like that long, but we were all exhausted by the end. We had 15 participants (children and adults) in our smash session. With that amount, it was a bit too crowded for my comfort and it got a bit hot in the room towards the end, even with the AC and fan. I think smaller groups would be better to allow everyone a bit more room to rage comfortably. Owner and staff were amazing, the facility is new and clean (well as clean as can be considering the activities lol), the safety equipment was clean and well organized, and the party room was a nice space to hang out in and watch the playback of the smash session before we headed off to paint. We had a blast and will definitely return, plus the parents now want to come back without the children for an adults night out too! Highly recommend this place for an incredibly fun and therapeutic time. These are nothing major, but a few things I would suggest: WiFi for better streaming of music to the speakers, an attendant outside the rooms ora way to really communicate with staff to help those that need to exit early for emergency situations, posted instructions of what to do and where to put used equipment in the paint clean-up station, and crank up the AC or add more fans - it gets pretty warm in those rooms in all that gear.

It's not like a traditional escape room where you might feel some stress and pressure to finish on time. The escape room is behind a curtain and there are helpful employees to keep the kids on track and assist when needed. And they learned actual science concepts while working! My daughter loves to learn about science, so it was so great for her. We had the cake cutting in the "party room" which is decorated with beautiful rainbow colors and beakers. All in all, the entire place is eye candy! And Ashie the owner is a draw by herself! She has her PhD in chemical engineering from Dartmouth and a passion for teaching science to kids. She was so personable and engaging.

Ashie, the owner, is amazing and passionate about her work which the kids truly benefit from as you hear laughter, problem solving and team work. What an amazing place to celebrate with friends! We opted for the party room after for an extra 30mins which was just enough time for the kids to settle down, eat, sing happy birthday and have cupcakes without feeling rushed. Tips: -A curtain separates the experience from the party room, so you can set up while the kids play (if you chose the extra 30mins) -There's a seating area not far from the location for parents to hang out. -There isn't a restroom, so you will need to use one of the many restrooms throughout the mall. -Currently the escalator by the store going down is out of service, so plan ahead.

The staff did tell me we came at a good time because the weekends are packed. We got a wristband to scan for a free locker to place our items in and a wristband for the games. There's twelve different rooms available but each room has over five different types of game play and multiple levels. To play all the games and beat all the levels would take multiple days to complete so you never run out of fun while playing. Some of the games are more physically demanding than others but there is games available for more limited mobility. I did a 60 minute play time and it left me wanting to come back again to do more. I would highly recommend this for date night, kids birthdays or anyone who wants to do something fun and challenging.

The games are also very reactive unlike other places, everything here works!

It was busy that day, and unfortunately I didn't catch the name of the woman who helped us, but she was great and very patient. Even with how busy it was, we didn't feel rushed and the experience was really enjoyable. We came back again on Valentine's Day around the same time. This time Caitlin helped us. She was good and helpful, but the experience felt a little rushed even though we were the only ones in the shop at the time. Overall, it's a great experience for kids. It is a little pricey, but if your child likes slime, it's definitely something they'll enjoy and have fun doing.
