We had a great tome here. Did the Science room first, was challenging and we barely escaped. We'll be back for the Voodoo room! The staff was welcoming and great. Would recommend!

Description:

Your team of journalists has a hot lead: a renowned doctor has been using his lab to produce and sell banned performance-enhancing drugs. The doctor found out that you want to expose him and is headed to the office to destroy all the evidence. Can you gather it in time before he arrives and the story is lost?

Reviews of escape game "Science"

My husband and a few friends had time this Sunday and we tried out two of the room here. The Science room was definitely challenging. There is a lot of math involved and a LOT more 3-5 number combo locks and some red herrings. The answers to those also involve more math. Thankfully, you get white boards to help keep them straight. The puzzles felt more there to provide a challenge than fitting well in the narrative. Some of the puzzles were clever and unique though and not all are math ones. Overall we liked and had a lot of fun.

This is the first room we failed (out of ~13)... We were just one puzzle away. I would recommend doing this room with 3-4 people. Before we even started, they warned us that this room is their most difficult one and they recommend 4 people and that we start off with 6 hints (as opposed to 3 and 4).

The moment we stepped into the room, we were overwhelmed by the sight of a surplus of puzzles. We messed up on one of the first puzzles and were stuck on it for very long and the hints we were initially given did not help us solve the actual issue we had until way later. Near the end, we blasted through the remaining puzzles but it wasn't enough to make up for the time we wasted with the initial puzzle. They do provide white boards with working board pens but it's still difficult to remember different qualities, move to a different location, solve the puzzle, then move to a different location to actually open a lock. The room just felt like a room filled with a bunch of harder puzzles with no real story that connects the puzzles.

We were on a road trip when we saw the sign and decided to stop by. This was our first time ever escaping a room, and Steven made it that much more fun! He explained the concept and helped us whenever we got stuck. Excellent room design and well thought out puzzles. Glad we stopped by!
