Northwoods Escape Room

Northwoods Escape Room is a must see experience for anyone living or visiting in all of the great Northwoods. We are conveniently located in Eagle River WI, Our unique games are designed with the area's history in mind, ...1920's gangsters moonshine shack, creepy taxidermy room, and what tourist town doesn't have a candy store (Grandpa's candy shop room)... There’s no easy way out; use your brains and get out in 60 minutes!

Reviewed By 281CarolB - Rosemount, United States

Three senior ladies and a 12-year old recently discovered the fun of escape rooms and we loved this one! We tried Grandpa's Candy Shop and, while we didn't solve it, we had fun working together trying to figure out the clues. The lady who runs it was so very nice and gave us as many clues as we asked for. At the end she showed us the solutions that we hadn't figured out. This is a one hour activity and while we did it on a nice fall afternoon it would be great if you're in lake country on a rainy day. Visitors and residents should all give it a try!

We've rented snowmobiles from The Toy Shop both this year and last, and the experience was perfect both times. The emails detailing the necessary paperwork before we arrived were easily understood and more importantly, the sleds were in terrific shape and ran flawlessly. I would strongly encourage anyone interested in renting snowmobiles to use The Toy Shop.
