I did two escape rooms with my friend. I booked the top secret and dracula rooms online for almost…read more40 dollars each after taxes. We were greeted by a friendly hostess, who made us sign waivers. A TV playing Looney Tunes was in the lobby. When we went to the room, a TV showed us the mission and timer, while there was a button to press for clues. The top secret room was well themed and had lots of good puzzles. Some of them were challenging, and we had to ask for clues. However, sometimes it did take some time to get the clues, and we were a bit stumped figuring it ourselves. Additionally, some clues given were for puzzles we already solved. Though, once we got the clues we needed, we were able to solve the puzzles. We also had to wait 5 minutes per getting another clue, which was fair. We got very lucky to escape successfully in Top Secret, but we may have received additional time as well. The Dracula room was a bit easier, as the puzzles were more understandable and easier to solve. We didn't have to use many clues, but when we did, they were given to us a bit faster than the other room. The theming was nice and was a bit spooky, but thankfully no jump scares unlike their other horror room, horror circus. We were able to escape that room with ample time left. After finishing the rooms, the staff asked us if we had any questions regarding the puzzles, and congratulated us after escaping the rooms. There was a tone when we got each clue, as well as the staff occasionally giving it to us in character. They did a great job keeping the immersion of the rooms. We were also thanked for playing before leaving the facility. For 40 dollars per person per room after taxes, I would say it was definitely worth it for the experience. The rooms are nicely themed, the staff were friendly and mostly helpful, and the puzzles were understandable. I was also happy that there weren't many locks and most puzzles made you interact with the equipment. I'm looking forward to doing more rooms with them, maybe one day I would be brave enough to do the jump scare horror circus room.

We've been the one on Causeway and was blown away from the rooms there so we decided to try out…read moresome other rooms at this location and it did not disappoint one bit! We did the Horror Circus and Top Secret and each room is detailed to the core. No detail was left! We actually felt like we were there! Employees are super cool and helpful. I can't stop talking about how great Game Over is! If you've never done an escape room or don't like them, Game Over will make you become obsessive over them! We are obsessed and will do all of the rooms and try their other branch on 60! Seriously the best escape room in the nation!

My friend did the most intense room (the basement) and had a lot of fun, so she talked me into…read moredoing another room (buried alive), which wasn't as intense or scary as the basement. After taxes and fees, it was about 45 per person. We booked online for a Sunday afternoon. It was a bit hard to locate as it was inside an office complex, but a very helpful staff guided me by phone how to arrive. When I arrived, I was greeted by a friendly person who informed us the rules, instructions, and hints. After also signing a waiver, we were taken to the room. We were locked inside a casket and given an hour to break out. It was dark and cramped, but the puzzles were fun and not too difficult, and the staff was very nice to give helpful clues when needed. We managed to escape with 9 minutes left thanks to my smart friend and the helpful clues. While there were no jump scares or anything scary, people who are claustrophobic could feel uncomfortable in this room. However there were plenty of safety measures inside including two cameras and a panic button to make you feel at ease. It was also well ventilated, so I was able to breathe easily. While there was no media or music unlike some other escape rooms, it still felt immersive and enjoyable. I believe exactly two players are needed for that room as you will have to work together. Even though I just did the buried alive room with my friend, I had a lot of fun and the staff made it very enjoyable. I would definitely do other rooms they have, but may avoid the jump scare rooms as I get nervous easily. Please note they are live actors in some rooms and a taser may be used in one of them, but that is part of the fun and experience. If you like more intense and scary escape rooms, this is definitely the place to visit!

Again, overall pretty good experience this time we escaped with 23 seconds to spare…read more The reason that I don't give this place five stars is sometimes it takes quite a while to get a hint and this time when we did get a hint, it just confirmed something that we had already solved. When we asked Luke, who was our front desk person about it he said sometimes they are late giving the hints, because they are overseeing multiple rooms, which is why the hint that they gave was no longer helpful. Luke, however, was fantastic so shout out to him. We did the Scooby Doo escape room and overall it was pretty great. I really like how they have little signs that show when something isn't part of the game, so you don't spend unnecessary time trying to break into something that you're not supposed to. Overall, I thought all the clues worked well together and they were all different enough to keep things really interesting. We thought we were doing really well when we got into the third room with 30 minutes to spare, but that one was particularly difficult for us. The room is well themed and clean. We started right on time. Pro tip that you can get your 90 minutes validated here and if you go shopping at sprouts they validate on top of that so you can save $10 total in parking. However, I think they don't stack 90 minutes on 90 minutes, they only stack 60 minutes on 90 minutes so you can get a total of 2 1/2 hours of free parking. I do enjoy the games here so we will probably be back.

FYI if you are thinking of doing the Helter Skelter escape room you get seperated into two different rooms where you can see each other not so much as hear. One of you also gets handcuffed. It is a scary game where there is an actual person dressed up and walks around and taunts you as I've heard.But on to the point. It was a really good looking game very scary. Anyways. Because our opponent was too scared to continue they let us go to the Jungle games escape room instead. Which was not scary at all it was really based on Jumanji. It was really fun well themed and we enjoyed it a lot. We escaped in about 9 minutes. Thank you Checkmate escape rooms for being so nice and kind we are looking forward to our next escape room there

We were totally surprised how far we got in the hour we had and that hour went fast! Our group was able to find all of the clues and got almost to the very end before we ran out of time! We felt very accomplished being first timers and we would highly recommend this activity for a group looking to do something different as you have to work together to get yourselves into the next room and ultimately out. The people running it were informative, very helpful. The place was clean, Covid compliant, and had 3 rooms, different difficulty levels to choose from. Have fun and don't miss this place while you're in the area.

Wonderful for the price! We went for Valentine's Day and someone got engaged at the event, so…read moreromantic! I also liked the cute storefront they had to sell their merch. The 1st house was okay, but the theme was a little strange. It was about the three princesses and the scare actors seemed to want to talk about the torture and insult us more, but we had to usher through the house. I think it was the weakest, but goofy. The 2nd house was the best with a surgical theme. There were people in sheets in a room with a stroke light, a dirty bathroom with a scare actor talking to himself through a mirror, and lots of gory effects. The 3rd house was about blood fairies which has a fun walk through the woods with some cool props. It was a little annoying on this one, just because the group in front of us was walking extremely slow. We eventually caught up to them, so we tried to slow down to stagger our groups more, but the group behind us caught up to us. We all were kind of clumped together. It kind of messed up the flow, but the effects were all very fun. The venue is normally great at timing so groups all get a chance to go. They also have some food and drinks for purchase at reasonable prices. Parking is a breeze and the ticket process is relatively easy. The bag policy was a bit confusing though since it said online that you could bring a fanny pack, but then upon arrival it said no fanny packs. I guess being a clear tote if you need, which is allowed.

Sir Henry's Haunted Trail in Plant City, Florida…read more Plant City is a blue collar place with lots of big American flags, large trucks and large whites. There are no metal detectors because everyone has a gun. It felt like Central Pennsylvania. I felt safe. They had 3 haunted houses and a hay ride. All were solid with lots of actors, local kids who all did perfect jobs. Lots of actors walking around in costumes. It was a great setup in a backwoods / trailer park feel, right off of i4. The food and drinks were good and very inexpensive. $6 nachos, $8 loaded nachos, $5 corn dog, $3 tacos, $3 bottles of water, $9 local wine and ciders. We got their annual vip pass for $200 each. That's seemingly expensive but you get admission to each night of the event, front of the line with no one in front of you. Regular admission was much cheaper. You also get access to their haunted Christmas, haunted Valentines, and haunted wild West events. I think a regular 1 time admission may run you around $30. I spoke to the person who runs the event. He was humble and very much concerned that everyone was happy. I'm happy to support them. Check them out if you're a Halloween fanatic in the area.

The staff were attentive and friendly, walking around to each table to check on each person and guide them along the process. The work areas were large and it was nice sound with others to guide and help each other also. There really wasn't an overall explanation on how to do the monogram on the box so we struggled with this until a staff member came by and guided us on the process but by then all but 1 monogram was on a box. Wish there would have been just a bit more overall instructions on this is how we put on and take off the monogram. Overall the experience was lovely and I think everyone really enjoyed it. Great place to have a party or come take part in a workshop.
