This place was a lot of fun. Very reasonably priced as well! We did the Curse together and it was fun but challenging. The guy that welcomed is and helped us was very nice and did a great job as well. Highly recommend taking some time off of your shipping to check this place out! I will be back for the other 2.

We went to Puzzah today and had an absolute blast!!!! My six year old daughter has been wanting to do something like this for awhile now and she loved listening to the clues and trying to help us solve them! She even found a clue by herself and was so excited. Todd was the gentleman who walked us through the experience and our story and he was a joy. He explained everything so well and engaged with the kids getting us all excited. 10/10 recommend!

Had a great time trying to figure out the puzzles with my family. Why be over critical about the puzzles? They were fun and entertaining and the theme of the room was decorated really well! We all had a lot of fun. My only criticism is price per person, but at least little ones are free! ?

Came here recently for my birthday and it was great! No problems whatsoever. We wanted to come back to try the Mask room, and booked a time for 4:30pm. We discussed the time back and forth with the host as it would cut us close to our movie time, but we decided to go through with it anyways. Multiple times we were told that our booked time was for 4:30. We came back ten minutes before our booking, and our host told us we were late and even ARGUED with us about it. My feelings were genuinely hurt as I felt his demeanor was condescending and rude. Last time we came he was very friendly, but not this time around. Looking for other escape rooms to enjoy now I guess.

Definitely not your typical escape room. My husband and I were walking around flat irons trying to burn an hour before Apple finished some repair work on my phone. We found this place and thought it might be fun to try out. This was our third escape room company and we were hoping for a bit of a challenge. When we walked in it seemed pretty legit, they had good decor and the sign above the counter stated it was for all age groups and would present a challenge. It was the typical $25 price tag per person. Now let's get to the room.

We walk in and the environment is spot on, they did a really good job designing the room and we were excited to get started. The theme was an alien spaceship that you were held captive in. Once the door closed we were introduced to the scenario by a narrator with an over the top cowboy accent, it was a bit detracting from the otherwise well done set and felt like it took away from the space ship atmosphere.

Not only is this guy the narrator, but he interrupts about every five minutes to give you hints on the puzzles. This was really annoying to us, but it was explained to me that they are experimenting with different options including a "request for clues" system.

Now let's get to the actual puzzles without "spoiling" the room. The puzzles were a lot different from other escape rooms, we were not tasked with seeking clues to discover how to solve the puzzle it was just there ready for you to solve. The system relied on electronics and would allow you to progress as you solve one puzzle to the next. This was a lot different from our previous experiences with escape rooms and wasn't exactly what we were expecting. We finished the first two puzzles and seriously debated walking out. By the end of the final room I was sitting down bored as my husband clicked the buttons to solve the final puzzle.

This experience was in my opinion not worth our time or money. It would have been nice if the employees chatted with us before hand and clearly explained the differences between other escape rooms and this one. It definitely would have swayed us in the other direction. I would still recommend this place if it's a first time escape room, or for a kids party as I'm sure it could be exciting to some. If you are an escape room enthusiast I would recommend checking out their Denver location where I understand they have a more typical set up, or one of the many other escape room vendors around the metro area.

I upgraded to three stars because the co-founder reached out and explained a lot of why they do the things they do and how it is an evolving process, he was glad to receive the feedback and sounds like he is openly engaged with the clients to make it an enjoyable experience.

We took our 2 kids ages 5 and 7. They loved it but needed a lot of help solving puzzles. We finished with 4 minutes remaining. Only 2 rooms per run but good FX and puzzle design.

I’ve done a few escape rooms at this point and this was the worst by far. If you enjoy being guided through every single clue like you are in elementary school, “okay next we have to...” then this is was a very cute escape room, I was personally looking for something a little more challenging.
I should’ve been concerned when they didn’t provide a place to put my belongings, but initially let it go. When entering the first room it quickly became apparent that *spoiler* any clues that weren’t animated were the direct opposite of what the last team had. While it is great that it therefore requires no upkeep, it makes for slightly boring puzzles. Clues are given quickly and freely, often unwanted and sometimes not applicable because it is all computerized and therefore not helped by an actual person. The one time I wanted an extra clue that was actually applicable, the system ended up giving me the actual answer, which was entirely frustrating because it was the one exciting puzzle and the only one I needed a hint for. The electronic puzzles are sometimes confusing because the names of gadgets sometimes change.
I think it would make an excellent elementary school birthday event, but not a good adult place. I would say they should advertise as a place designed for kids.

An Edit:
While I still feel the same about my experience, I am thankful for this company’s willingness to improve and humility in reaching out.
