Between the six of us that went and completed "The Tomb", we collectively agree that this was probably the cheapest-looking escape room we've ever been to. We're not huge on escape rooms. For most of us this was the second or third experience. To begin, the theme was decent. We liked the story, but the aesthetics and execution was rather distasteful. A nicer word to describe the room would be "Minimalistic", because it had nothing except the puzzles. It just felt… empty… The other problem we had with "The Tomb" was the balance of the puzzles. We went in a group of six, and there were only six puzzles to solve in total. Two of us were assigned to decipher the hieroglyphics, and the other four worked in pairs to solve the remaining puzzles. We completed everything else by the 30 minute mark, but the hieroglyphics took much longer. The rest us were just sorta sitting there in the dark room waiting for the last puzzle to be solved. (we couldn’t help much either because it was a cumulative effort written on paper. We couldn’t jump in mid-way to help with the translations) I think a smaller group of four would have been better. People wouldn't have nothing to do like we did. The puzzles were also very rudimentary. Kinda designed for kids. No hints were needed to complete the room. Once again, we're not escape room veterans. Just average adults in their late 20s. Did we have fun? Yes. But The Room definitely leaves much to be desired.

Excellent experience. Rooms were difficult but do-able. Great set of clues that made you think. One of the best Escape Rooms we've been to.

Our second time here, also our second successful escape! We thoroughly enjoyed solving the puzzles and having each competitor contributing their own strengths to the solution. The staff are very helpful and friendly. The only downside is that 45 minutes goes awfully fast - an hour would be better imho.

Excellent! Challenging and fun. I'll be back for sure- don't know if they've got more than one puzzle room, but I hope so.

Did "The Will" with some experienced escape room enthusiasts and NONE of us could figure out the last clue and there was NO indication in the clues to how to solve it. Pure guesswork. Out of 35 rooms it is the worst room I have ever done. The employee told us it was supposed to be "lateral thinking". There was only 4 locks in the entire room and felt like a waste of money and time. A good escape room should leave you with the feeling of "I could have gotten that puzzle if I had more time" this one left us with "who the hell would have figured that out?!" Definitely won't be returning

Nice experience. Done "The Tomb" and the puzzles were quite unique to solve. The staff was helpful.
