My boyfriend and I have done over 20 rooms and sadly this was our worst…read more We booked a room at 7pm, and drove from Richmond to do the room for my boyfriends birthday. I called ahead as I saw no one had booked the time before us (5pm). I asked if we could possibly come at 6pm since the booking before us was open. The person on the phone wouldn't even let me get out the fact that we were traveling over an hour to do this room. Very short..:"You can come at 5 or 7, that's it". Okay fine, my boyfriend is a game master so we figured there may not be a game master available at 6pm. When we arrived the guy at the desk barely said two words to us. Put a tablet in our hands with no direction. Again it was a good thing we had done so many rooms so we knew to complete the waiver. After that the only communication we got "first door on the left, good luck". Okay again....direction? Locks? Did you ask us if we had done a room before? Once in the room we had to wait over 2 minutes to get clues that were sub-par, and the game master failed to even mention that one lock was not necessary since we were not playing in competition mode. When we "escaped" the room we didn't even realize we had escaped. No enthusiasm from the game master what so ever. Sadly this is our first and last experience. Disappointing since we traveled over an hour for this one.

This is by far the best escape room ever.

Everything was so awesome, it's hard to know where to start. But here we go:…read more Took both daughters & the g'kids (15, 13 & 12) for a fun family time while visiting Williamsburg. Tip for finding it: the business park it's in has lots of buildings that look alike. The sign they put out front is quite small. We were the only ones there besides our host, Maya. She was so friendly & welcoming, such a pleasure to meet her. We got started right away in Blackbeard's Cabin, said to be the hardest room. Well, I'll tell you it IS tough! We found lots (and lots and lots) of clues but at the halfway mark had to start asking for hints. What to do when you've found 20 or 30 bits that lead to a solution, but can't figure out how to assemble them? Why, talk like a pirate, of course. With ample hints, we actually solved it with 8 minutes to spare. Many laughs and head scratches, "hmmm"s and "Oh wait, wait!" but in the end we triumphed. DGD the Younger and I don't like jump scares, so I don't know that we would ever try the Chesapeake Bay Butcher room, but I would love to try Cyberpunkd the next time we come to Williamsburg.

We did a couple of the rooms here and we loved it. Particularly we all LOVED the Chesapeake Bay…read moreButcher room. If there was ever one escape room I wish I could do again for the first time it would be that one. The puzzles were fun and imaginative and honestly kinda scary and thrilling. We did another one about treasure after that one because we loved it so much and none of us enjoyed this one quite as much. The team was very helpful in guiding us during the times we were stuck. Really fun place!

This past weekend I did my second escape room at this location. We tried the newest room- return to…read moremisty lake, which also came with a strong warning of difficulty. Our group of 6 was able to escape but definitely used some hints along the way. One item malfunctioned requiring the attendant to come in the room with us, but we were still able to move on. Lots of nice and unique components. It is a good way to spend a cold or rainy afternoon but they often book up on those days. Currently, we hold the record for 62 mins to get out of the room (allowed up to 80 on this particular room)

The customer service rep was really helpful. He showed us how to use the controls and would check on us once in a while to ensure our game was running smoothly. I wish the VR had an actual category for multiplayers. Although at the front desk, it did show which games were multiplayer along with horror and family. So if you're interested in those categories, make a mental note of a few games so you know what to play instead of searching around. I also saw when playing Rotten Apple, the controller accuracy was a bit off. I don't know if the game needed to be updated or what because the accuracy was fine when I played Shooty Fruity. Overall, I would recommend people to try this place out for indoor entertainment whether it's with friends, as a date, or even by yourself! I would like to come back and try one of their escape rooms next.

We were a group of 3 maximizing our trek to the Peninsula. Even though I prefer staying on the south side, I quite favor this location over the VB one. Our game master, Akira was energetic, enthusiastic and very patient with us from greeting us in the lobby through the end of the game. A walkie-talkie is your communication device. We had some oversights & for those who struggle with presbyopia & small print it can also add to the challenges. Haha funny but not funny, just wait. Just make sure to have several people in your group double check the code when plugging in your answers. We usually do that, but for some reason, we managed to still do that & not open the lock & actually have the correct answer, thus eating up some of our time. Per our game master, Cabin 11 is considered the most difficult of the current three rooms. My only recommendation is to follow up with replacement of dried up markers. Ours died on us. But fortunately, the group was able to power through ;-) Not a biggie. Overall we had a good time, but we didn't truly feel as if it was a well merited escape. :-P

We were probably 2 minutes away from "escaping" and it's their toughest room. Sounds effects were fun although we got tired of the music on a loop. Some puzzles involved letters, some numbers, and several were simply thinking outside the box. It's $25 pp but there's a 20% discount with Yelp. We were confused - it says you get it by checking in. But when you're booking online, how to get it? So I called & they Said the coupon code is yelp20. It worked after DD refreshed her screen. As a note, I checked in when we arrived & I got the popup notice with the discount info.

My sister had mentioned seeing a new escape room in Norfolk. But we weren't sure if it was good or quality worthy so we didn't try it. Until now. Fast forward to now, when they have 3 rooms. We decided to give it a go because we saw a groupon. This place is FANTASTIC! It's also the only escape room in Norfolk. It's diagonal from the D'art center and they do have parking. On their website it indicates it's okay to park in the lot in front of the building even if it states "tenants". It's located on the top floor, entrance is to the far right of the building. You can purchase to hide ducks in the room for an additional price. They do have restrooms but you need to get the pass code from them. They have a fun little extra thing they do where they hide a tiny bronze dragon called CeeCee and you get a sticker if you find her and get to autograph the book for doing so. We did not find her! Magical Misconceptions is essentially a Harry Potter room. It was well designed and contained quality props! Spoiler alert! It's a multi-room. We thought we were all done with casting spells and then poof! Another room! We BARELY made it with 8 seconds left!! It was a fun room! Highly recommend!! We enjoyed it so much we are doing the C.U.L.T. room next which is like a horror room. Their other room is Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. I think it's also cute that they have a personalized border for their pics.
