Description:

October 31st 1926 – Harry Houdini has died. Famous for his skepticism of self-proclaimed “mystics” Houdini was famous for taking part in seances in order to debunk these charlatans. We believe that Houdini was holding these events to search for the only real source of mystic power in this world – The Artifact. With his passing we must ensure that any research or discoveries he made during his time on earth do not fall into the wrong hands. You have one hour to search his workshop for anything concerning the artifact. Good luck.

PanIQ was so much fun. It was a great way to spend my birthday. We had a group of 7 and did Houdini's Workshop. It had a good amount of challenges, and Casey and Clue Lou were very helpful and accommodating hosts. Highly recommend.

My work team solved the Houdini’s Workshop puzzle with just minutes to spare today. It was exceedingly clever and my history-loving brain jumped for joy with all the true historical nuggets and details the creator incorporated in the play. Casey was an attentive and entertaining guide through the experience, and I didn’t miss my spreadsheets for even a moment. Bravo!

Houdini's Workshop was so well-themed and so much fun! It's a very linear room, so your next step is almost always logical, but the puzzles are diverse and fun. Gus was a great game attendant!

We completed the Houdini room with only a minute left! What a blast! The puzzles were challenging but not too difficult. Ask for Cool Lou, mmkay!

My partner and I had an amazing time doing to the Houdini escape room - escaping with 3 seconds to spare! CluLou was an amazing and hilarious host for the room and definitely made the experience even better!

This was one of the best escape rooms I've been to! Monica was extremely friendly and accomodating & easily got us scheduled with the best room for our group. The Houdini Workshop was challenging but really enjoyable with very unique puzzles. Our host Gus was funny and really made this experience worthwhile. Hope to come back & try other rooms for sure

Dean rules please give him cookies he deserves them so much. The Houdini escape room is excellent! We finished with 6:00 to spare 😜

My husband and I did this on a whim and had an absurdly good time! The staff were all very welcoming and super friendly. Our room overseer, Dean, explained things really well and really made the experience even more fun! We did the Houdini room, which had a lot of neat surprises that were ridiculous in the best way possible. Hands down the best escape room experience we've ever had!

Dean deserved at least 3 boxes of Crumbl cookies. My girlfriend and I did the Houdini room & had a ton of fun. Definitely required a great deal of attention, but Dean gave us really helpful hints. Can’t wait to be back!

I am so happy with our experience! My team and I had an amazing time "escaping" Houdini's Workshop! Our game master Gus was incredible and had great energy throughout that made our time more enjoyable! I would recommend for any type of team building events or even if you are looking for something new, fun or different to try.

Room was incredible, we did the Houdini Workshop and it was awesome. Gus was our Room Guide and he was great, provided such a fun performance and was so fun to talk with. 100% returning for the other rooms

Gus helped us in our escape room adventures, they had a very positive attitude and made the experience very fun! Gus is funny and they were helpful in giving us hints while we were struggling. We did the Houdini escape room and had a very positive experience and made it out just in time! Highly recommend this escape room!

Austin made this experience a real blast. Houdinis room is set up really well, and the twist was a lot of fun too.

May 19, 2024

Austin really did a fantastic job taking care of us at our first escape room here. Would absolutely recommend this place with friends! Def try the Houdini room!!!

July 5, 2024

Austin was a great host! We had a fabulous time solving the Houdini who dunnit!!

July 16, 2024

Rooms are amazing!! We went to go play Moonshine Madness and enjoyed it so much that we went back to do Houdinis! We’re actually going to the pirates room tomorrow! They had such unique puzzles. The Houdini themed one was probably one of my favorite escape rooms that I have done (and I’ve done a lot!). I would definitely recommend coming here!

June 8, 2023

Amazing experience! We were a group of 4 and it was perfect. We played the Houdini room and it had a great balence between challenging puzzles and fun activities. The staff (shout out to you Casey) were very accommodating!

June 8, 2023

I love this Escape room. Only two of us did Houdini and it was very fun and challenging. Loved the theme, the design of the room, the puzzles - they would really make you think, and the staff are GREAT. Thank you so much.

This escape room was so much fun, and cheaper than others out there. Three of us did the Houdini puzzle and we almost solved it. Ross was an awesome host/guide throughout the process. Definitely doing the other three puzzles soon.

June 8, 2023

The Houdini room was amazing! So many tricks and brain teasers! As an escape room enthusiast, definitely enjoyed it!

June 8, 2023

The staff were super fun! A big shoutout to Clue Lou! The rooms were well designed and very stimulating. We did the Houdini's Workshop and it was super fun for 3 people. It was a whole experience - highly recommended!

My boyfriend and I did their pirate room first, and he had such a great time (his first room escape!) we ended up doing the houdini room later in the afternoon! Both super fun. I think we ended up enjoying the pirate room a bit more, but both were well worth it. Seth, who acted as our gamemaster, was hilarious, warm and helpful!

April 23, 2022

My friends and I did two escape rooms here. Houdini and moonshine. They were incredible, fun and challenging. The staff were super nice and passionate. We felt safe the whole time. We highly recommend coming here!

May 11, 2021

It was awesome! We almost got out! I want to go back and solve some of the other puzzles for sure! So much to solve!

September 20, 2020

So much fun! I had such a humorous and friendly guide, and her timely tips were just right for aiding our puzzles without giving them away!

Highly recommend.
