    Great time at the mindtrap escape ,challenging but not impossible . Staff was very professional

    They aren't lying when they say you suffer...
    Ashley B.

    Our group did THE ARENA and I immediately came to Yelp to see what I was getting myself into. Unfortunately, there were no reviews that warned us... for better or worse. I do think it's necessary to clarify some things, so at the end of the review I will explain. Please do NOT read it if you want to go in totally surprised! First of all, this was the most unique escape room I've ever done. THE ARENA is described as a "sadistic gameshow" which will subject you to torture while you try to escape. Our group is a bunch of horror movie enthusiasts so this was right up our alley. The whole thing kind of felt like a Saw trap, solving puzzles with a faceless game master giving us tips between insults. There was only one thing I did NOT like, which I'll explain a little at the end, but in all honesty it DID contribute to the overall experience so I cannot bring myself to take off a star. Overall, it had everything we wanted out of an escape room: a unique and creative theme, puzzles that were challenging but not impossible, and enough suspense to keep it interesting. They have a number of rooms to choose from, all with varying levels of difficulty and themes. For example, there's a Winnie the Pooh themed room that I can only imagine is MUCH more family friendly than the one we did. Some suggestions to make it even better: We didn't realize we were being timed until our host informed us we made it out with two minutes to spare. Adding the time as an element would have made it that much more suspenseful and the stakes that much higher. We also were given a TON of hints along the way, by our "Sky Daddy" aka host who would lead us in the right direction amid a bunch of swear-laden insults. I think we were guided a bit TOO much though, as she practically gave us the answers sometimes. They mention in the beginning we have unlimited questions we can ask (other escape rooms I've been in limit you to 3) Perhaps there could be different levels of difficulty offered if you want to really figure it out yourself, or the host could be limited to giving clues only when prompted. As for storytelling, it's supposed to be a game show, but it's not clear WHAT we're competing for. Maybe add into the storyline that we THOUGHT we were competing for money, but in actuality we're fighting for our lives? Suggestions aside--We will ABSOLUTELY be back to try the Zombie War Room (I am forgetting the actual name, heh) as it is the other horror themed room in the building and after surviving THE ARENA we feel that we can conquer anything! Also bonus: we were told the zombie story doesn't actually cause you pain, but that there are jump scares involved. Which leads me to... SPOILERS.... DO NOT READ IF YOU WANT TO BE ENTIRELY, TOTALLY, 100% SURPRISED BY THE ARENA... Okay so, in the multiple waivers you need to sign, they mention you'll be wearing electric shock collars, be exposed to surface irritants, and be emotionally abused as well as physically touched/moved. Asking for ANY clarification on these leads to vague answers from staff, so we really truly had no idea if the build up was part of the experience, or if you truly were signing up to be hurt. I think our entire group suffers from anxiety and it would have been nice to know how intense this is. Yes, they do tell you in the paperwork, but the staff being vague makes it feel like it's not going to actually happen. So, if you need to know exactly what those electric shocks are due to a heart condition or whatnot (seriously don't even sign up for this if you have that, don't risk it!) I will say that they use actual dog training shock collars set to low. So yes, you are literally getting a small electric shock. How much it actually hurts depends on your pain tolerance. In our group one person couldn't feel it at all, but personally it was a painful shock and various games utilize this was a "punishment." There are other elements of the game that hurt you in a similar way, so be aware. It's not just build up to make it feel scary, if you have a low threshold for pain you do not want to do this room!

    My brother and I came to play Winnie the Pooh escape room earlier today. We loved every detail of it. I thought it was so cute. Nice game-master but we forgot his name =[

    My son went for a friends birthday. They all had fun and the staff were really nice. When we were there, there seem to be some regulars going which was cool to see. The game room is a good addition for parties after your adventures. They made the kids feel comfortable.

    This little nature reserve was such a unique and enlightening experience! It was educational, fun,…read moreand full of furry, cute animals :) The staff were friendly, enthusiastic, and clearly seemed to love and care about the animals. They have different animal experiences you can book in advance for on their website, but their most popular seems to be the one where you get to sit in a pool with otters! The session and communication beforehand were well organized and helpful. I won't spoil everything, but not only did we get to sit in a pool with otters zooming all over the place at the end, but we got to learn about, see, and touch about 6 other types of animals up close + walk through some of the property to view some other saved animals. For the otter swim, the team will take tons of photos using your phone or camera, so you can just enjoy the moment! They recommend wearing a tank or shirt over your swim suit (there will be time to change into it right before the swim), and J wish I wore a looser shirt, because it gives more space for the otters to wiggle in and explore :D Plenty of parking, clean restrooms on site, bring your own water/snacks if needed. Definitely a little pricey, but it goes to support the reserve and its little critters and was such a fun time! I would recommend them to anyone looking for a special experience for any animal lover :)

    The price is way too much!…read more The fact is, that it is double. I wanted to do this for my daughter, but she was also not interested in going alone. All I wanted to do was take photos and they wouldn't allow me. You have to pay $700 to accompany your child, whether or not they have a disability.
