This is an update to our review of Escapade Games, and we really lucked out in our choice of…read moreRockin' around the Christmas Tree. Almost all of Escapade Games' rooms have a horror element and are obviously targeted towards the colleges nearby, but not only was Rockin' adapted to accommodate parties of two; for this season, it was themed to fit the holidays. We also got a very pleasant surprise when it came time to pay for our online reservation: it was half the price of a standard room for a party of 8! This was a (happy) shock because we are used to paying for 3 or 4, even though we are a duo. The 2025 Pineapple Express had slowed to a steady trickle by the time we arrived at Escapade Games Christmas Eve after a music-less British pub lunch less than a two-minute drive away. The cavernous restrooms, located outside the lobby, were clean, and the lobby looked like it was in the midst of some renovation, but another game was going on, and since we already filled out our waivers, we settled down to wait for our game to start. And waited. And waited. And waited. When we finally started our hour-long game, after the technical difficulties were resolved and the game rules reminders given, all was forgiven very fast: as a bonus to playing a game that was getting ready to be put out of commission, we could take unlimited photos in the room! And there was so much to do in the music-themed room: even though not all the instruments were playable, and there were still minor glitches as we were playing, Joey was a terrific game host - he, too, made a quick recovery from the technical issues and was as determined as we were to have a phenomenal game. There was no timer in the room, but going by our photos, we were done in 52:48, with a lot of help. Our favourite puzzles had to do with the picks and bands, and playing the instruments to rise back up to the top of the pops as rockstars is such an original theme. The music played put us in the holiday mood - especially "The 12 Days of Christmas". That's probably not our favourite Christmas song, but it helped that I just got done with Susan Stokes-Chapman's holiday short story collection! Rockin' around the Christmas Tree is set to what we consider 3-G (Generation 3, with a lot of computer FX elements) tasks with G-1 locks, and, despite the late start, was very much the best Christmas present to set us off on our holidays! Joey, our heroic gamemaster, was a huge part of the fun game we had. We could tell he had started off not having such a good Christmas because the room's serious technical issues were clearly unexpected, but he fixed everything so that we could have a great time. We eventually realized the fantastic price we paid was not just because our game, unlike other Escapade rooms, did not feature a live actor in the room. Even more importantly, we only found out, after our game, that the room was being taken down to make way for a three-room movie-based horror adventure. We are so, so glad that we got to experience Rockin' around the Christmas Tree before it was dismantled, and keep our fingers crossed it gets a spectacular comeback in the near future (like the rockstars we were supposed to be!) That said, we are looking forward to checking out anything else Escapade Games has to offer - can't wait for more games in 2026! This review is duplicated on Yelp and Google.

I rarely leave reviews, but this one deserves it…read more I did Zoe v1 years ago and it was one of the escape rooms that originally got me hooked on the hobby. Coming back for the updated version, I honestly didn't expect it to top the first one -- but it absolutely did. The new ownership has taken everything that worked and elevated it, and the holiday Kruppes theme added such a unique twist without losing the spirit of the original. The set design, immersion, and overall tension are on a whole new level. Shoutout to Emily and Bree for making our experience incredible -- their energy and commitment made a huge difference. Already planning to come back in February for the Valentine's variant. If you're on the fence, just go. It's worth it.

So fun. I'm kicking myself for not being able to remember the name of our game master (tall woman, red hair?) so, I'm sorry for that. But she was terrific. Knew when to let us try to figure things out on our own, and knew just when we might need a hint to nudge us along. She ran a great game and made the experience so much fun for us. The game itself is challenging. You really need to pay attention and use your head. The production value is terrific and the layout of the room is amazingly creepy. If you're looking to have a good time with friends and want to do something different, I recommend Mission Escape Games. It's a ton of fun.

My boyfriend and I LOVE to do escape games together for the thrill and for sometimes a much-needed…read morecommunication exercise LOL. Every time we come to the Escape Game and try a new room, we are blown away by the tech they use. It's not-your-average mom & pop escape room, and for that reason we LOVE it. It operates with a first-come reservation basis, but each room has a max of 8-12 players. This means that you can bring your whole group in, and there's a chance you might have some strangers joining you as well if there's still space. We tend to wait last minute and book the rooms with no reservations yet so we can try to do them on our own. This time, our game keepers Ally and Marcy were so sweet and helpful. Can't recommend her enough! We will keep coming back!

As an avid escape room adventurer, I would recommend the escape games - especially for larger…read moregroups and/or if you want to meet new people. These are public escape room games meaning you and anyone out there can sign up for the SAME room for the SAME time/date. Most rooms here fit up to 8 people which would be perfect if you had a large friend group. BUT if you only had 2-4 people and sign up ahead of time, be prepared to enter the room with new faces. Games start pretty on time, so make sure to be there with waivers signed! Also, they occasionally offer 20% off your next game once you escape the first! These games lean more on the tech side utilizing digital screens, electronic doors/buttons, lights, and puzzles - all of which I love! It adds more flavor to the game, while still providing the traditional puzzles feel with some rooms having locks, ropes, and mind-tingling puzzles. I would venture to say I like having more physical handheld clues like papers or props for decoding, but this place does get the job done. Some of the puzzles even require you to work simultaneously with your escape room team which creates more thrill! I have had friends that have gone here to the same rooms I have done where the rooms are slightly changed depending on the amount of people in the room or if the tech is broken - so just be aware that your experience could be different than others. For the price of about $42 a person you can't go wrong since there are multiple options that vary in difficulty from 3/10 to 9/10. Overall would recommend especially for a quick fun nigh

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.

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…read moreescape 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!

From high-intensity horror rooms to genuinely family-friendly experiences with zero jump scares,…read moreExit Game OC truly has it down pat--and their new cat-themed room might be my favorite yet. This room is well made, immersive, and thoughtfully designed without being overly complicated. The puzzles are approachable, the flow is intuitive, and everything feels intentionally built for all ages, not just experienced escape room players. You're not rushed into stress--you're pulled into a story. The cat theme is adorable and surprisingly immersive. You're encouraged to crawl, climb, explore, and think with curiosity, which makes it feel playful rather than overwhelming. It's rare to find an escape room that's this wholesome, yet still engaging for adults. Perfect for families, kids, first-timers, or anyone who wants a creative escape room experience that prioritizes fun, imagination, and togetherness. A refreshing change from scare-based rooms--and proof that escape rooms don't need fear to be memorable.

Whether you're stepping into one of their family-friendly adventures or braving their horror-themed room, the theming is thoughtful, immersive and detailed in a way you don't always see with the bigger chains. You can tell that the owners genuinely love what they do - every set piece, puzzle, and story moment feels intentional. My group and I had the chance recently to play their "Help, I'm a Cat!" room and it was such a blast. What really sets them apart, though, is their customer service. The team is warm, patient, and incredibly attentive. They read their players well and tailor the experience to what each group needs, whether it's someone's very first escape room or a team of seasoned enthusiasts looking for a challenge. I fully trust them to take care of my nieces and nephews when they are old enough to get introduced to the escape room world. They make everyone feel welcome and set you up to have the best possible time. If you're looking to support a small business that delivers memorable experiences, thoughtful design, and exceptional hospitality, this is absolutely the place to go. Highly recommend!

This is a nice place for either a rage room or an escape room…read more A few weeks ago, I did a rage room experience here, which was my first time doing a rage room. Marc, the owner, was very nice and kind. He even allowed me to do a special request where I wore an outfit (which is a Morpshuit with t-shirt and shorts) underneath the gear used for the rage room. Very kind of him to accommodate this. I have never done a rage room before, so it was a unique experience. Shattering glass, and breaking things felt very liberating and it helped me release tension/anger. Additionally, at the very end, there was even another surprise where Marc even taught me how to throw ninja stars on the wooden board. It was super cool. At first, I couldn't get any ninja stars to stick, but on one of my final attempts, I actually did get the ninja star to stick, which was awesome!! I was pretty elated that I was able to do that! Anyways, shout out to Marc the owner for being very nice and accommodating. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a cool, friendly place to do a rage room or an escape room. I should check out their escape rooms some time soon.

Overall a positive experience with a couple of cons:…read more - When we arrived, there wasn't any clear instructions of where/what we should do as there is no front desk. Also took a while before someone came out to help (I think they were in the back assisting maybe another customer?) but some signage would help. - Waivers could be sent prior to arrival to save on time since it was a google form - staff could be more welcoming and better at explaining. I understand it may be sketchy to go to a customer's car to evaluate items brought from home since it could be a risk to the staff, but I think it could either be instructed earlier before arrival OR simply just state that you cannot leave the business. The delivery of the comment made by the staff was not very smooth (almost felt like implying we were bringing something bad or wrong). - A timer inside the room might be helpful as it's hard to keep track of time once you're destroying things. - Phone "mount" could be better secured with a clasp or something because one bump and our phone fell on the ground where there's shards and scraps everywhere. This could have easily scratched the phone. - Room felt cramped, but understand that may be limited by the size of the store space. - Half of the group was arriving late, in which I shared upfront and thought that the staff would assist in getting them as ready as possible before our first group came out to swap, but when I came out, I saw that they had not even begun to change. I understand the face shield and gloves are limited quantities, but they could have started fitting in the other items like jumpsuit and face coverings. - Also as we were swapping, I ended up giving the second group the instructions when it really should have been the staff to give them the run through. It felt very disorganized during the swapping. For the price, I think it would be nice if each group received at least one larger item and not just cups, plates, and glass. All-in-all, it was fun to let out some rage by wrecking things and not having to clean it up. My friends and I did enjoy this different experience. Also fun to watch them from the room cam inside the Axe Room as they rage.
