First time at an escape room. I (grandfather) took two 10 year old grandsons. While advised by staff that clues are generally aimed at 16 year olds and up, I decided to try it. We did the Sherlock Holmes room, and while not succeeding (but getting close), we had a terrific time. The boys were able to figure out some of the challenges, in some cases where I was not able to! We all had a terrific time. Found it very challenging and a lot of fun. The staff could not have been nicer. After we were done the boys immediately said they wanted to do it again - and so do I. A very professionally run facility and I would recommend it for a challenging and fun time. Overall a great time.

My friends go here almost every weekend, and we have a great experience every time! All the bathrooms are clean, and the food is good! The music played is newer, but is still family friendly. All the arcade games there are new and fun! They also have regular skates and in-line skates to rent, so if your a little bit more experienced you can still have fun. They sell skates as well, and the prices for everything are very reasonable!
