  • Games are recommended for ages 13 and up. Younger players are allowed, but some of the game content may be too difficult for them. An adult, 18 or older, must participate with anyone that is 14 and under. Also, any participants under the age of 18 will need an adult to sign their waiver.
  • You will be in a room with a locked door, but every door is equipped with an exit button. Should you feel the need to leave the room, you are welcome to do so at any time.
  • Each game is designed for one hour of intense fun! Plan to spend 15 minutes prior to each game preparing and briefing for your mission, and 15 minutes after each game to debrief and take photos.
  • The Escape Game experiences are very different from what you typically see in other escape rooms. These games aren’t scary or dark. They are exciting, adventurous, and something all guests can enjoy.
  • Unless you book all the spots in a game, our games have the potential to be shared experiences, which means others could book into your game and join your team.

Well-designed rooms and thoughtful employees - Great escape room! Realistic room designs that make you feel immersed in the experience. I went for my brother's bachelor party, and they even put a nice wedding-themed congratulations for him on the time screen when we escaped. Subtle gesture, but a very nice way to end a fun activity!

Bachelorette Party - We Escaped!! - We go to check in for our escape room and ut oh....it didn't link/go through when we booked online. The staff at the desk was super helpful and made sure we were still able to participate in our booked activity. He took our info and confirmation # and advised us we may be contacted and went over everything in full detail. We were soo appreciative of his understanding and willingness to make sure we had an amazing experience. But....it didn't stop there. Our host for the Escape room was amazing. Everything was explained really well and just fun atmosphere all together. She laughed with us and even put up a congrats sign for celebrating my bachelorette party. She was super helpful and made sure we had a great time. Even showed us another room to try next time we were in town. Everyone from the first person we interacted with to the manager to the very last person was incredible. They made me feel special and went above and beyond to make sure my group had the best time. Oh and we escaped!!! Truly thank you Joey and Mars for the hospitality and being amazing at what you do. Well be back!

Fun and Challenging Escape Experience! - Two of my friends and I conquered “The Playground” on our Moms’ Trip. We had a blast! The puzzles were challenging yet solvable, and we appreciated that there were unlimited clues. We also loved being allowed to take pictures! There were several fun surprises that made the experience even more memorable. We will DEFINITELY be back!

Amazing fun, great first experience. - This location was a lot of fun, especially with Lyd and Raven! They were able to give us a hint when we were especially stumped to help us maintain flow of the puzzles. Had so much fun, we did another one (Prison break) and requested no hints, which they happily let us! Until we eventually got stuck, and they have us very light hints (3). We completed it within our last 10 minutes!

Amazing experience!!! - What an amazing adventure! We chose the prison break as first time escapees. This is the hardest one and though we were newbies, our escape guide Lydia helped us along the way and we managed the escape the room! They have a great cast of employees who truly get you engaged and make the experience wonderful!

Exciting but we're newbs! - We had a lot of fun. This was our first time at an Escape Room and we really didn't know what we were doing. The guide was very helpful, but we still didn't escape.
