Brilliant experience with my 16-year-old—he loved it, and so did I. The Heist had some tricky sections that kept us sharp, and we escaped with a minute on the clock. Can’t wait to return.

Took two teens and it nailed that sweet spot between doable and demanding. We had a couple of big team moments and beat the clock by two minutes. Shout-out to our GM for perfectly timed nudges.

Clever chain of puzzles with a satisfying payoff. Non-linear start, then everything locks together neatly. We finished with 15 minutes in the bank and already booked our next room.

First ever escape room and I was nervous, but the host was lovely and hints were gentle, not hand-holdy. We found our groove and got out with 10 minutes spare. Such a rush!

Loved the room and the vault vibe. One search-heavy bit felt a tad fiddly, but the logic was solid and the ending was great. Would happily come back for another game.
