A little on the expensive side for a daytime weekday @ $39/per person (same price for adults and kids), but you also get the room to yourself! The staff is very friendly and helpful! - Every booking is private! - This location is super clean - Each adventure is 60 minutes - spacious waiting room with comfy seating & fun games - cocktails, wine, soda, water, & snacks available for purchase - merch available - free photo at end of session Kids had a fun time and can't wait to go back. Next time we'll try an easier room! Plenty of parking available in shared shopping center.

The Pawn Shop had a nice variety of puzzles and it was challenging enough that we felt like we all achieved something when we got out. The props were nice and in good condition. The person who greeted us and gave us the instructions was very welcoming and enthusiastic. Booking online was easy. The website says that the game can be for up to 10 people. I don't really agree with that and was glad we were able to book for just 4. I feel like 6 people might still be comfortable - but 10 sounds like.. just a lot. In addition to the game being fun, parking was super easy with spots out front and a private lot in back. I hope we can go back and give the Secret Lab a whirl!

Be ready to run, sweat, jump, crawl, and climb - I have bruises on my legs lol The rooms are really immersive - if you're in a jail themed room you can expect low lighting and crawlspaces. If you're in an army themed room you can expect to be speedy, climbing, or seeing flashing lights. The door colors tell you the level of physical activity so you can just do chill mental challenges if you wanted to. Two parts of each room - figure out the objective, and then actually complete it. If you fail you can exit the room and line up for it again (it goes quick) or go to another room. You can also ask a worker for hints. It gets hot in there quickly if you're doing physical activity challenges (some rooms are hotter and smellier than others) - but there are drinking fountains on the main level and fans blowing in the hallways. Make sure to wear comfortable activewear and shoes!

What an awesome experience!…read more We booked very last minute on a Wednesday night and were surprised by how many different rooms were still available. Since it was our first escape room, we chose Cosmic Crisis, and I think it was the perfect introduction. The staff was amazing, especially the general manager. He greeted us, explained everything, and made us feel confident going into our mission. I'm SO glad they offer unlimited hints because we definitely needed them! We used the entire 60 minutes and literally finished with only seconds left on the clock. The space was also very clean and well maintained, which made the experience even better. It's located in a mall plaza, so there's plenty of parking, lots of stores, and food options nearby. Overall, such a fun experience. Thank you to the team for making our first escape room so memorable. We'll definitely be back!

If you book another game that same day, you get 40% off. 4 stars because $120 for 3 people was still pretty steep pricing but when we have more $ we'll certainly return.

What a whimsical room! We just did Wonderland Revisited and it was so much fun. Really cute set…read moredesign and props. Our only regret is that we weren't able to do it in person. Great variety of puzzles with a fun theme. Perfect for teams of 3-4. Puzzles were medium level difficulty. We also did Watson's Revenge which was full of clever puzzles, fun reveals and unique locks. Definitely have experienced players on your team as this one is pretty challenging. 4+ teammates is good for this one. Lastly, we did 13th Floor which was luckily not a scary room, just a slightly creepy theme. Really enjoyed the puzzles and riddles in this one as well as the interactive elements. 3-5 is good for this one. Puzzles are medium to hard difficulty. Rave reviews for the fun game master. The inventory/closeup system for the virtual/remote rooms were a bit tricky to juggle but allowed us to divide and conquer.

We came to do one, but the experience was pretty heavy for the group, and the great staff there let us change to a room that was better suited to our group, right on the fly! We ended up doing "King Arthur's Quest" and Sean, our gamemaster, did a great job at keeping us moving! A lot of fun and keep us occupied for an hour! We will definitely come back for other challenges! If you are thinking about coming, a word from the now-wise: pay heed to the challenge rating (PG, PG-13, etc.). And don't be afraid to ask questions about the challenge when you have your pre-meeting. If you are afraid of the dark - ASK! your gamemaster if the room is going to be dark. If you have to switch escape rooms based on your comfort factor, do it, you'll be glad you did. Thanks again Sean!

Winter wood lane is so much! More so for people whom like a scare Eckstein experiment was more of a crazy scientist situation There's another one but I haven't done that one yet. Long story short, go with a group of 4 or more it's more fun!

On the bright side, the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. But overall, a thumbs down…read moreexperience compared to the 20+ rooms I have done at other places in the area. This seemed like more of a low-budget, amateur place compared to the others. We did 20,000 leagues and I was shocked when I walked into the room because it looked like a file room with a couple of wall decorations. You didn't get the feeling you were trapped miles under the sea. The puzzles were tedious (including having to do math and read a map with tiny print) and not intuitive. Some of the puzzles, such as the math puzzle had "run rules" that you needed to know (and could only find out by asking for a hint) in order to solve it. There were way too many combination lock/open the box puzzles. Other places have things like chessboards where you need to put the pieces in the right place, books that you need to pull out in the right order, etc. This room had only a couple of non-lock puzzles. It was also just a single room, so no secret doors or passages. The staffer was in the room with us, which was odd and took away from the experience. This is definitely not a room I would do with kids because there's no way they would be able to solve 95% of the puzzles. Also not a place I would do as my first escape room, as it may turn you off from doing one again.

Review of "The Grimm Escape (Virtual Puzzle Game)"…read more I can't rate this puzzle game experience on the same scale I would have pre-COVID19 and won't comment specifically on the value for experience given how critical it is to support local businesses. Given the circumstances, I think The Grimm Escape and other virtual puzzle games are a great pivot for Puzzle Break and I'm grateful that they are able to provide virtual experiences at a time when so many of us could use a momentary escape from reality. Pros: -Up to 12 players with a minimum of 3 players (note that this doesn't mean 12 computers with multiple players on each computer--price is $25 per player) -Unlimited hints -Really nice and helpful staff (thanks, Eytan!)  -I like the PB virtual puzzle concept more than the other avenue some escape game companies are going (remotely directing a gamemaster through an actual escape room) because hopefully in the future we'll be able to do escape rooms ourselves again and I wouldn't want to miss out on the experience Cons: -It is noted as a 90 minute experience, but this is only a 60 minute timed puzzle experience. The rest of the time seems to be budgeted for explanation/prep.  -My group has done a number of escape rooms, so it may have affected our experience, but many of the initial puzzles seemed easy while the last few were much more complex/confusing, with no mid-range puzzles to adjust to the escalation. The ability to get hints/confirm guesses became very helpful for us toward the end! I look forward to trying PB's usual in-person experience in the future!
