๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘ That was such a good time! We did the Helter Skelter room and it was as creepy as I hoped it'd be. Super interactive with plenty of clever teamwork-based puzzles.

    That was such a good time! We did the Helter Skelter room and it was as creepy as I hoped it'd be. Super interactive with plenty of clever teamwork-based puzzles. Our game master Lee was super kind, energetic and helpful; he's awesome! They're very lucky to have him there. We made it out with 25 seconds to go which just added to the relief and rush at the end. Would definitely recommend this place!

    I took my 8 year old for her first escape room experience. We had a blast! I cannot thank Lee enough for making the experience such a great one for her. He was so sweet and very helpful. The best customer service anyone could ask for. Sheโ€™s ready to go back again already! Highly recommend this place and we cannot wait to try out the other rooms!

    Very fun experience! My wife has experience doing escape rooms with company parties and this was my first. We decided to do the jungle room and we left very happy with the experience. Iโ€™m sometimes guilty of being a little judge-mental on a first impression. Lee was very nice and his house keeping skills shows he has a lot of experience hosting these. My guilt comes in when we walked into the room, I thought, โ€œthis is it?โ€ And boy was I wrong. Lee went through the rules, very simple to follow, and he let us have at it. It was a blast!!! Very interactive and challenging and really keeps you moving. Just when you think youโ€™re almost done- thereโ€™s more!! Luckily, we finished in just enough time and escaped the jungle; I look forward to returning and trying the more challenging rooms. On our way out the door, my wife said this was a more challenging experience than her previous ones, not overly difficult, just so much to do. If you love puzzles and brain twisters, then I highly recommend this place!

    Our Game Master Lee was awesome and so helpful. We went for my son's birthday with a friend and the boys had so much fun. We did stuck in the 80's. It was nostalgic for me and my husband.

    Lee what is the absolute best game master in the world that Iโ€™ve ever had at any escape room in my life! I had a teenager and a small child and he was very kind in helping build their confidence to work through challenges. We will definitely be trying all the rooms they have to offer!

    Lee was our Game Master (He was amazing!!) and we had so much fun! My group went for my Mother in Law's birthday and she wanted to do the Jungle Game room. There was a total of 5 of us for the room. It was the perfect amount of people for the room, and we were engaged the entire time with puzzles and riddles. There were some strong personalities in the room, but none of them got in the way because there were different things to do at one time. I definitely recommend this room for beginners, as most of us hadn't done one before.

    Game Master Lee is incredible! He adds to the experience with unique ways to provide hints and a desire to help you succeed. My teenage son and I escaped Helter Skelter. The escape room experience is clean, dynamic, and fun with high challenge. If we are ever in the area again, Checkmate will be top of our list to visit. Thank you Game Master Lee and the Checkmate team!
