Monkey Mind was a lot of fun. My husband I have done 15-20 escape rooms over the last few years. I was impressed by the knowledge of the staff here on the evolution of escape rooms. We did both the Antidote and Mummy rooms because we were offered a discount for doing a second room and it was a blast. The two rooms were quite different, but totally enjoyable. The special effects were cool- in both rooms, there were moments where I jumped because of something happening that gave a little spook but nothing serious. Regarding COVID, they had plenty of protocols in place to ensure cleanliness and safety. Highly recommend!

We went this afternoon and a total blast! We had never done an escape room but had been wanting to try it for a long while. We did the Westower Room. Everything was very clean, COVID rules were followed to a tee, we started a few minutes early with a detailed overview of what to expect and how to navigate the activity and the room. And then the fun began! We won’t tell you any details as we don’t want to spoil the fun...but there were many clues...some easier and
