What People Are Saying
Difficulty Level: Reviews mention challenges ranging from easy to very difficult, with some puzzles described as 'intuitive' and others as requiring multiple hints or having illogical designs.
Themes: The reviews mention themes such as ancient Egypt (Atlantis), cartels, insane asylums, and possibly others not explicitly named.
Puzzles: Reviews indicate a mix of puzzle types: logic-based, physical (involving magnets and other mechanisms), and search-oriented. Some puzzles appear more complex than others.
Scare Factor: One theme, "Insane Asylum," is explicitly mentioned as scary and creepy; however, another review states that it was less scary than advertised. Therefore, the presence of a scary theme isn't consistent across all rooms.
Mystery/Detective: Several reviews explicitly mention solving mysteries or puzzles in a detective-like manner.
Heist: Reviews mention a "Cartel Crackdown" room, which implies a heist theme. But other themes are present as well.
Tomb: An Atlantis themed room is mentioned, suggesting ancient Egyptian elements. However, this is not consistently across all rooms.
Kid-friendly: One review mentions the escape room being kid-friendly for an 11-year-old, while others suggest that smaller groups might be more suitable for some rooms due to size constraints. This makes a definitive assessment difficult.
Party: Reviews do not explicitly mention birthday parties, but the fact that large groups are sometimes accommodated suggests the possibility.
Large Groups: Several reviews mention the suitability of the escape rooms for larger groups; however, one review suggests that some rooms might be too small for larger parties.
Parking: Reviews mention difficulty finding parking, which suggests parking is available but potentially limited or inconvenient.
Not Noted
Prison Break: A 'prison break' theme is not explicitly mentioned in any reviews.
Zombie: No reviews mention a zombie theme.
Discounts: The reviews do not directly discuss discounts for large groups or special events.
Price: Reviews do not offer definitive information about the affordability of the escape rooms; however, one review mentions the pricing being "typical."
