Incredible experience! So much fun and a great place to go to if you’re looking to kill time and have a good time while doing it!
Sidney was great! Such a fun time!
Matt was very welcoming when we first walked in . Not only was the waiting area very peaceful but the actual games were too. We had a very friendly room guide, Gwen, who explained everything perfectly. She was very helpful with the hints and very nice overall.
I had never done an escape room before and didn’t have expectations. I wasn’t sure if I’d enjoy it or not. We went with our family of 4 with 2 kids 7 and 10-for the 10 yo birthday. We brought friends- 2 adults and another 7 yo and another 10 yo. My husband had read reviews and it seemed like kids would be able to participate in this one-because many escape rooms are tailored to adults. The first room was very creative and fun to solve riddles and find and figure out clues. We could get unlimited hints whenever we wanted which helped avoid frustration for the kids (and adults). All of the kids and the adults really were able to explore and find clues and figure out clues. There was so much to find and figure out that everyone contributed, and it really took everyone’s help to get it done! There were 2 or 3 puzzles we didn’t figure out in that room and wish we had been able to. The 2nd room was still fun because it’s interactive and the employees started giving us a lot of hints without us asking because we really needed them. The second room for almost everyone wasn’t nearly as fun as the first-it used technology and was more difficult for the kids to understand, and honestly the adults too 🤪. The employees kept the clues coming and added time several times until we were able to finish and solve all the puzzles. We didn’t interact a lot with Kayden-but he was helpful when we did. Joshua met us when we finished, answered our questions about the experience-how the puzzles worked that we had t figured out, let us see the first rooms of almost all the other escape rooms there-which the kids loved. He stayed with us maybe for 15 min, answered questions about the escape rooms in general, and gave my daughter a happy birthday card. Thanks Joshua!! My son and me watched ‘Only Murders in the building’ and really want to go back and do that escape room before it’s gone.
Joshua was such an awesome host!! Helped and was so Creative !!
Alexandra was epic guide !! Amazing room!!
Awesome escape room venue. My friend and I did the Depths escape room. The room and various puzzles were well-organized and intricate (in a fun way). The staff were all very professional and courteous. My friend and I attempted the room by ourselves and the staff gave us as much time as we needed (more than the usual one-hour limit) to finish the room, which we appreciated. This place is definitely worth the price you pay! I would definitely come here again!
Perfect summer day challenge for 3 teens at Playground. Solved with 2+ mins left. We’re already talking about coming back for the Depths
Had a great time! Our guide Joshua was super nice and gave just the right clue for when we were stuck.
It was a fun experience and it was really mind boggling to figure out. Shoutout to Matt and Sebastian for a professional experience. ‼️
