Don't worry: this is not a history lesson, so you won't need to write a report about what happened in 1861 or remember the names of all British kings. In these escape rooms, you will be transported to a different era. A meaningful plot will make your heart race a little faster, and the atmosphere will stimulate the thought process. Will you change the course of history?

What a great room! Big with great decor to go with the theme. It was challenging and fun. We did it with a group of 3 and got out with 1:09 to spare. Definitely a group effort for some parts. We will be back to do their other rooms!

We had a great time with the Presidential Room. Our host Tessa was very good and helpful during the game - we thought the walkie talkie worked fine and they gave us updates on our timing. We almost solved the last clue - next time!

Had fun working through the clues with the family! Almost solved the Oval Office - just a few clues short!
Linda
We were on our last clue in the Presidential Room and because one of the clues was backwards, we didn't make it. However, we truly enjoyed ourselves and are planning on going back to try another room.

Compared to other escape rooms we've done in various places, the Rec Room is easily the weakest one we've done. There are an overall limited set of puzzles and even less clues to go from. The ones you do get are highly cryptic which basically means you spend the first 30 minutes doing nothing. After that (you can only ask hints after 20 minutes) you'll get some hints from the controller and you can solve a few puzzles, but even those are all quite similar and not terribly exciting.
Underwhelming experience, especially for the price you pay.

I have done many escape rooms, easy and difficult ones. The Mission Control room was by far the most confusing and frustrating room I have ever done. The logic did not connect and we found ourselves getting completely stuck and unable to move forward because of the lack of clues. On top of that when you completed a task half the time we had no clue if we did it right because there was no obvious signal or indication that you did it.
This room was not fun at all and we left frustrated and annoyed. We will more than likely not returning.
