We did The Ruins and we were all Indiana Jones by the time we came out. I like that it's more than just one room; there were 4 of us and we moved around comfortably. It was so much fun that we want to do another one before we leave. Well worth the time and money!”

“Communication between customer and Viator was terrible. Upon arrival we learned there was a choice of entrees. We had no prior knowledge of this. The “murder” story was confusing. The guests at our table were unsure of what clues we were trying to solve, and we were not given enough time to explore the clues. In the end, it was a wild guess made by all in trying to solve the crime. The murderer was obvious, but the clues and script did not lead you to the murderer’s motive. It was still a fun evening, but I would not go again.”
