Real-life escape room games are new and fun way to spend time with friends and family! These adventure games challenge you to use the elements of the room to solve a series of puzzles, find clues, and escape the room within a set time limit. Can you make it out before the timer expires?

I feel like I've been to quite a few Escape rooms, both in Wichita, and in Kansas City. This place is by far the best. The quality of the puzzles, along with the workmanship of the construction, and the thought put into the games themselves, really do make them a notch above any other escape room I've visited. Our attempt to escape Project 403 was unsuccessful, but it was heart-pounding and fun to try. I recommend Puzzle Plex to anyone who is looking for a fun, exciting thing to try with a group of 2 up to 8.

Best in class rugby pitches about five minutes outside of town. Some of the best Saturdays include packing a cooler and heading to Westwick for some spectacular rugby. International players, college fans and the best alumni around are always in attendance! There's an intense pride for the rugby club and it shows. Bring the whole family!

12 acre park with 2 acre fishing pond and modern playground. Several features to note: working Dutch Windmill (1879), statues from 1893 Chicago World's Fair (read: Devil in the White City).
