1. The Sleuth Box
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 118 reviews
The Sleuth Box is an interactive, live game play and a great alternative to a movie night. Instead of watching the adventure, be a part of it! Your group of friends, co-workers, or strangers will be "locked" in a room and you'll have an hour to escape, which you'll do by working together to solve puzzles, find clues and ultimately escape from the room!

This place is amazing! The room we did was very well decorated and really immersed us in the atmosphere of the room. The puzzles were very entertaining and the room was easy enough me and my mom to do on our own, granted with help from our amazing host Riley. She really added to the shaboom of the room. Overall, had a great bonding experience l with my mother.
