“This was so much fun, we finished with 30 seconds to spare. The staff was so friendly, only 2 of our group of 5 had ever done an escape room before. It was a great experience for all. Definitely recommend it to everyone! If I had to say anything negative about it, it would be the price, but everything is expensive these days.”
