I've done quite a few escape rooms in the past, and this one was pretty good! We did The (Un)Common…read moreRoom, which had plenty of challenging puzzles and a fun ambience. Our game host, Attic, was kind and enthusiastic, which helped make the experience enjoyable. The facility itself was clean and well kept, and the waiting room had a lot of fun games to play before starting. The only thing to keep in mind is the booking/payment system for smaller groups. I came with one other person, but the online reservation system requires payment for a minimum of three people. Since there were only two of us, we still had to pay for a third person upfront, and the difference was given back as a coupon code for a future visit rather than as an actual refund. While I appreciate that they offer a credit, it did feel a little confusing and less straightforward than simply charging a higher two-person rate or clearly listing the minimum charge upfront. Overall, we had a good experience, but I do think the pricing/booking system could be made more transparent.

I took a group of tweens to their first escape room and they were all blown away. We did Terror in…read morethe Sky, which is a good non-linear room, so the kids could each work on individual puzzles and then come together to unlock doors and cabinets. The room itself had a few rows from an actual airplane, and screens in the window simulated flying, which was a great touch. The puzzles were good for our young group, and the ability to ask for unlimited hints was crucial (we ended up asking for 5 hints). Some of the puzzles were pretty basic (akin to doing a sudoku puzzle without giving too much away). And almost all of the locks were basic 4-number locks; it would been cool to have some more creative locks instead of just trying to find 4 numbers over and over. For example, different style locks or automated mechanisms that would open a door when triggered would have made all the difference. But the airplane theme was strong, and the kids LOVED it. I did want to call out our game master, Jay, who could not have been more patient with our group. Thank you for making the experience so memorable for us!
