What People Are Saying
Difficulty Level: Many reviews mention the rooms' challenging puzzles, with some indicating that they were a great challenge even for experienced escape room participants. However, one review mentions a puzzle being unfair for those unfamiliar with 80s phrases, suggesting a level of challenge dependent on prior knowledge.
Themes: The reviews explicitly mention "The (Not So) Chocolately Factory" and an "80's" themed room. One review mentions a "murder in the speak easy" room as a future option.
Puzzles: The reviews suggest a mix of puzzle types. While specific types aren't detailed, descriptions imply logic-based puzzles requiring problem-solving skills, search-oriented puzzles to find clues, and puzzles relying on knowledge of 80s pop culture. The nature of the locks also points toward the use of physical manipulation.
Mystery/Detective: While not explicitly stated as a "mystery or detective" theme, the puzzle-solving nature and the need to find clues within the escape rooms implies elements of mystery and deduction.
Kid-friendly: One review specifically mentions the owner making recommendations for a group with an adult and four 11-year-olds, and other reviews suggest family participation. The lack of any negative feedback about child appropriateness supports a kid-friendly assumption.
Party: Several reviews mention birthday celebrations and suggest the venue's suitability for parties.
