SO MUCH FUN! This was our first escape experience! We did The Study on a Saturday at the 7:30pm time. We booked that morning, and didn't have anyone else in the room with us (I'm sure that won't last for long!).
When we came in, we signed a waiver and were told some more about the escape rooms. You can ALWAYS leave the room, use the restroom, etc. The hour long timer won't stop, but you can get out (for all you claustrophobes out there!).
The young man who walked us in and told us the backstory of our room was awesome! He was excited and really got us into the story. He told us that the moderator will give hints at their discretion (which we ended up needing - a lot!). If we were close, they probably wouldn't give us hints. If we were way off, they would help us out. We never asked for help, but you can.
Trying not to give anything away about the room, we weren't sure we could go any further at one point. That we'd be breaking the rules by doing something. The moderator and guy who greeted us came in and explained that we COULD have done what we skipped, and they were kind enough to give us another five minutes. We still couldn't solve the room, but we had a darn good time trying.
I can't wait to go back to try the other three rooms!
PARKING - street parking, free after a certain time. We found easy parking down one block and across the street.

Our team did the Paranormal Room! Our host was Elizabeth and she was an excellent guide! I have never participated in a group like this. It was challenging, engaging and fun and zap times scary!!!! I would recommend this Room for others to try. Builds teamwork in a fun way!!!

I loved this escape room! My friend and I joined another group of six and they came really late so our game master let us start early and they even offered to step in if a puzzle required more than 2 people which was really nice of them! Eventually our team eventually did show up so we didn't end up needing any help.
We did the paranormal room and the production value was great! But it is very dark and you're only lit by the flashlights you're given so be prepared for that. Though it is creepy, it isn't too scary so besides from the occasional loud noise, you shouldn't be expecting any jump scares. And also you get unlimited hints, so that's great, our game master was very helpful and we definitely made use of those hints. Some puzzle do require things to be just right when you do them so that did lead to a bit of confusion in different parts. But other than that it was great and a lot of creepy fun! We got out with just a minute to spare!

Pretty solid escape room, we did the Paranormal activity themed room and were able to escape with a group of 8.
The price is pretty standard compared to other rooms in the area but I felt like the puzzles were well thought out for the most part here, and the production value of the room was a little better than my other experiences in the city.
