Read all reviewsI'd never been to an escape room before and wasn't sure what to expect but we were blown away by 21 Keys. I expected something cheesy (think like murder mystery dinners) but this was so well thought out and executed that I'm still thinking about it 3 days later.

I booked the Project Iceworm room for me, my mom, and my sister and we ended up having the room to ourselves (probably not peak hours for this type of activity). This was the most difficult room, which I knew and we were warned about again before entering, but we're puzzle/game people so we wanted something challenging. The room allows a max of 6 players and I was worried about not having enough people for it since we only had 3 but unless we had someone experienced with escape rooms I don't think additional bodies/brains would have made it any better.
The story was not only entertaining but so well translated into a game and the time (and money) that they had to put into the design and technology of the room is evident and impressive.
We ended up asking for three clues and were impressed with how they were delivered. I expected to just get direction via an intercom or even to have someone walk in and guide us but the clues were integrated into the design of the room and were gently guidance, not just "do this next" which made having to get a clue less disappointing.
We didn't solve the room but were told we made it about 75% of the way through. Honestly, solving it would have been nice but the hour of entertainment (which FLEW by) was worth what we paid and more. If we weren't so hungry I would have asked if we could stay and do the Speakeasy room which looked very cool, too.
btw, there are lockers for your jackets, purses, etc so you don't have to deal with those while you're in the room which was a nice touch.
