👍👍 Absolutely loved this place! It looks like you're walking into a bomb shelter since you're going so far underground but the place itself is cool. There are multiple escape rooms for you to try at different levels and the experience is so different from the norm. It's so much fun finding all the clue... People often mention room, time, great,

    Absolutely loved this place! It looks like you're walking into a bomb shelter since you're going so far underground but the place itself is cool. There are multiple escape rooms for you to try at different levels and the experience is so different from the norm. It's so much fun finding all the clues, figuring out the puzzles, and deducing how the pieces fit together. Great activity for couples or groups. Highly recommend!!!

    We did the experiment room. The puzzles were pretty well thought-out and enjoyable. It was just 2 people so it was challenging to finish everything in 1 hour. I thought some of the clues were too hidden; even the most observant would have trouble finding some of them. But it is possible to solve all the puzzles. Overall, I enjoyed the room and I would return to try other rooms.

    My friends & I went here for my birthday after we had some drinks and appetizers near by at a local pub. When we first found the building the entrance surprised us. We arrived early and signed the disclosures. The team there was extremely polite and explained to us our "mission". It took a lot of team work and collaboration. It took a little getting dirty, I found myself crawling in to tiny spaces while in stillettos and dress clothes (lol), not that I minded. We did the outer space room which is mentally challenging. There are quizzes and clues to help along the way abd the staff is nice. One puzzle we solved jammed up and they came in and fixed it for us and said they'd add back on the lost time if we needed it. We managed to escape without needing it. It's definitely a fun experience as long as everyone stays calm an collaborates.

    I had an amazing time at this escape room! The staff was super super friendly!! My sister and her boyfriend were leaving to the airport after and they accommodated us so nicely on where to put their luggage. Make sure you make the reservation beforehand. We did not make a reservation, but the gentleman was nice enough to fit us into one. So by default we got the John Doe room. He said this room was the most challenging which was true, but we all definitely had a good time! The more people, the better. The concepts and the clues were very well thought out. I will definitely come back again!

    I didn't expect much from this place because it was small and in a strange location, but this place is a lot of fun. For starters, the staff is very friendly and nice. There's a water fountain and I'm pretty sure there's a bathroom too. Before you enter a room, the staff will offer to take your coats or bags, which is nice. Inside the room, there is a timer, a phone which you can call a few times for hints, and a bunch of puzzles to solve. There's also an emergency exit for the bathroom or if the time runs out and you don't get out. The whole thing is very fun, and my group managed to finish with two seconds left on the timer. Once you finish, you get your photo taken, which is another cool bonus. It's a great place overall.

    Amazing Experience! The game master was very courteous and friendly, and the game room was spacious and engaging. Out of all the Escape Rooms I've done before, the Space-themed room at this location had the best activities and clues, cleverly interweaving technology with riddles. My wife and I attempted this room on our own and got a little stuck here and there, but not frustrated! It was a good challenge. I can't wait to see what other rooms they add to their roster; I definitely will be visiting for some of their other offerings!

    Great fun for us and two friends. We did the detective room and got REALLY close to getting out. Personnel were great. Highly recommend.

    We look for Escape Rooms in all the cities we visit and this was one of our favorites! Well thought out, entertaining storylines for challenges and the staff was extremely friendly!

    One of the best escape room experiences I've had! Loved gold rush, great room definitely coming back.

    My group had a great time in The Detective Story room. Our game master was very helpful & friendly letting us have a few more minutes to complete it on our own. Perfect for all ages. It might seem confusing to get to because there is no clear sign outside & you have to take a stairwell down.

    Trying to redeem a voucher I purchased. Cannot get a response on the phone, through email, on Facebook or Instagram page.

    I went as an end-of-the-year bonding activity with an organization of students from NYU. We had such a great time!! We were able to get a group discount given our size (20 people). The game leaders were fun, helpful, and full of energy. They were also able to accommodate us to book all 4 rooms simultaneously on a Friday night to have a sort-of competition (but not really since the rooms have differing difficulties). Each room is unique and challenging! I would highly recommend, and hope to come back again! We had a very fun, affordable, great community-building time.
