I went in a group of 3 and had a great time! We did finish the puzzle and the staff was very helpful in the last few minutes getting to the finish line. It was hard, and we love puzzles. I don't think it’s fair others are taking off points for difficultly, try an easier room first! I don’t like I would recommend this as a first room.

I will say the one reason I took off points was how dark the room was. I understand ambiance but as someone with terrible eyesight I was really straining and it did get quite uncomfortable at some points.

Glad to see others enjoyed this room but we did not. The clues were ambiguous at best and unlike some of the other reviews I’ve read, the “staff” was not helpful in “nudging” us in the right direction. Unless they felt repeatedly telling us to “use teamwork” in the final 5 minutes was supposed to be helpful. Uhh, thanks for the tip...

It was so hard and we couldnt get out! The clues didnt help and it wasnt fun. We just gave up!

I've been to escape rooms before and this was the best yet! And the ambiance sets the suspenseful tone! And it was great we solved the "King's Ransom", found King Edward's riches and rescued him from kidnapping.

It was so much fun. My friends and I did this for my birthday and it didn't disappoint. The Kings Ransom was the jam!

We had a 6pm appointment mid-week. Ended up being perfect because we played King's Ransom in our small group of 3 people. The staff was very welcoming. They were also super helpful if a clue didn't help, they would nudge you in the right direction keeping everything fun.

Our family had the best time. The six of us were paired with another couple to solve our Kings Ransom. We all worked together and solved it with over 25 minutes to spare. Highly recommend it.

Amazing! A totally different experience from anything we have here in WV, and so much fun! We decided on the Kings Ransom, and it was pretty awesome. I want to come back and do the Black Widow game very soon!!
