December 20, 2021 Roger Rusk

Westchester County, a collection of towns that serve as a popular suburb for the bordering New York City, is also the gateway to the Hudson River Valley, an area that promises a plethora of outdoor activities, from sailing to bird-watching to cross country skiing. The County also contains Rye Playland, a popular children's amusement park, historic sites from the American Revolution, the African American Heritage Trail and several famous houses, including Lyndhurst, a Gothic Revival mansion.

We were looking for something that would be fun for my nephew’s 16th birthday. He’s a tough kid to impress. Well, we couldn’t have picked a better venue. My husband, 17 year old son and 16 year old nephew had a BLAST! If you’re looking for something different and out of the ordinary, look no further! We were greeted warmly upon our arrival and only had to wait a few minutes for our room to be ready before we began our “escape”! We used up the entire time getting out...but needed help from the “spirits” along the way (a spooky voice gave us hints when we got frustrated). The Vampire Escape Room was challenging enough for my son (who’s done escape rooms before) and “easy” enough for the adults! The decor and background music really made it feel especially spooky! I knew we had a winner when even my husband said, “That was a lot of fun!” Highly recommend The Puzzle Parlour and can’t wait to find a good excuse to go back again!
