    Made reservations 5 days in advance for a Friday evening (2 rooms - 6 PM & 6:15 PM). We had a group of 11 people and split into teams - fun to race against each other. I LOVED the King's Keep room! Spooky and lots of neat decorations and themed elements. We enjoyed the puzzles (I'd say mid-range level challenge), and we made it out in 26 minutes (with 6 people). Would definitely return to try the other rooms and consider renting one of their take-home escape room kits!

    Super fun, but there was a few hiccups during the game that kept us unable to move forward. One of the puzzles to the door was not reset so it couldn't be opened, the bird was not properly connected so it wouldn't respond and a staff member had to come in and check it so it would work. The staff was great. The place was clean and had other board games and puzzles to purchase to take home. They just need to keep the rooms in good repair so things work properly since tickets are on the high side.

    Had a great time in the King's Keep room! Our Game Master was very friendly and helped us with hints when we asked for them. The Kings keep room was a little dark so it helped to use our phones for flashlights. The puzzles were a bit challenging but fair and the decorations were very fitting! We finished with a few minutes to spare from the 1 hour time limit, we all had a great time!

    Super fun. We did Kings Keep with 2 adults and 4 kids. It was the perfect beginner room. Only giving it 4 stars because the room was a little warm and the front lights were broken so the parking lot looks like you’re gonna get mugged. lol All the lights were off and some of my guests thought it was closed. Otherwise super friendly customer service and a lot of fun.

    We had an amazing experience here! The puzzles were just challenging enough to make the biggest obstacle your friends which is my favorite type of escape room. Damien was the perfect host and helped out only when REALLY needed or if we asked. This was the best escape room we've ever done

    My daughter has been asking about going to an escape room for the past three weeks. A day cleared up in the schedule and we booked it for the entire family. It was a great experience and helped us communicate to solve a common goal. Be prepared when you get there, the parking lot looks deserted and the place looks closed, but someone will greet you at the door and get you started as soon as you arrive. The place is clean. The staff is friendly and helpful. If someone in your party gets scared or has to use the bathroom you can leave your escape room at anytime through the door you came in from without causing your team to lose. And you can rejoin them mid game if you end up stepping out. Great experience. I think this would be a cool team building exercise for an office or student organization as well. We’ll be coming back.

    It was so fun from the time you walked in to the time you left. It was entertaining as well as mind boggling. Lol I loved the theme. The room and the mystery it was so cool and cannot wait to try the other rooms. I highly recommend this place. Was a very fun first time experience. The host also is outstanding thanks to him we had such an awesome experience. Loved it !!!! 10/10

    Right off the bat as we enter the building was greeted by the best employees! Everyone was very helpful with hints as well. My partner and I had never been to an escape room before so this was our first time and let me tell you it will not be our last! Also wanted to give a shout out to Damien was so helpful and made us feel so welcome, even offered to take pictures. Was one of our top date experiences!

    Escaping from Clancey’s Lodge was terrific fun! The clues were challenging and really made our group think outside the box in order to move on. Damien was a great host with a fun personality. We were lucky to have him guide us along. I am already talking about going back to try another room because we had so much fun!

    Got my son and his friends the King’s Keep for his birthday - 4 boys, 12 yrs old, had an absolute blast. They were energized for hours afterwards reliving it, and congratulating each other endlessly. I would definitely do it again - they loved it! I had a great time looking around at the awesome games and puzzles they had for sale and chatting with the staff and their friendly dogs. Thank you NextGen for making my son’s birthday such a huge success!

    So much fun!! This was my first time doing an escape room here and we did Cerebral. It was the perfect blend of scary and fun. Damien helped us out and he was wonderful! So real and funny. Overall, great experience. Definitely coming back and recommending to others!!

    Great escape room! Did Cerebral with a group of friends - challenging but very rewarding to get out. Definitely recommend this room. Our main host Damian was super nice and very funny. Will definitely be coming back here to try the other rooms.

    So much fun for our family! The rooms are so well thought out and decorated, our puzzles were hard enough to be challenging but such an adrenaline rush when you get it right! Good job Next-Gen we will be back, we really loved it!

    This was our first time doing an escape room and we had a blast💥 (Literally because we didn’t solve the bomb room). Damien was friendly and his energy was very infectious. Also he didn’t make fun of us when we constantly asked for hints, that was a plus 😂Overall a great experience, we can’t wait to go back and try the other rooms.

    Really fun! We did Clancy’s Lodge and had a few jump scares (mostly from our own jumpy-ness) but still best escape room experience I’ve had!
