“The gift” was a challenging, well put together, and a very fun room to experience. Shoshana was a lovely game master. Definitely recommend going!!

Such a fun escape room! We escaped the gift room and went back for a second room. Brent was awesome as our game master!

Went and played The Gift for date night. Although we didn’t escape we had such a great time. Delano was wonderful and made the pre and post room just as fun as the room. We will be back!

HollyMay 24, 2025

The Gift was definitely the most challenging room here! Some of the puzzles may take you a while but it’s so worth it, and Brent did a great job giving out helpful hints!

‘The Gift’ room was great fun.

Aleah, our game master, was very encouraging and had the perfect attitude for the job.

Decided to try this out on a random afternoon. It was a great experience and our hostess/team mate Aleah was helpful and explained the game really well. “The Gift” room was tough but fun. Will be back to try another game soon!

My friends and I had an amazing time tonight completing “The Gift”. There were some tricky puzzles, but it was far more interesting than frustrating. We did a lot of joking around before and after the game with our game master Olivia, who was so funny and patient. She even let us hit the celebration button like 10 times. We’ll definitely be back to try another room!

Had a real great time with Aleah in the Gift room!

Aleah was amazing! Had so much fun with The Gift.

Best escape rooms ever! The first time we tried out Red Door was when we were on vacation in San Diego, where we barely made it out of Prison Break. Ever since then, we've been thinking about our experience at Red Door. We then found out that Red Door is a chain, and there's one less than 30 min away from where we live!! So we came again and did The Gift. Aleah was awesome! She was quick with the hints and so funny during the briefing. She made us feel welcomed and really contributed positively to our experience. We will definitely be coming back soon, since we got a gift card!

Great host Aleah! We got out of the Gift, a great room and fun team challenge.

BarbaraMarch 5, 2025

We had a lot of fun playing the Gift! Our gm Barry was awesome too!

AlteredgingerrFebruary 26, 2025

We did The Gift - it was really challenging and we honestly felt so dumb but the room was designed really well and the clues were set up really thoughtfully. It definitely felt like one of those point-and-click escape games on PC and I’d definitely do it again. Brent was a great game master as well and he made the experience a lot of fun for us! We’ll definitely come back for all of the other rooms.

Me and 3 of my friends tried “The Gift”. We all had a lot of fun and our game master Julian was amazing. He was super helpful, matched the vibe of us instantly, and was very funny. All 4 of us had some good laughs because of him. He cracked funny jokes throughout our game when we were doing weird silly things, such as “brushing the sword” and was a huge help while we were in the room. He even checked with his co-workers if we were allowed to take the sword home when my friend requested it. (unfortunately they did not have a backup, so my friends could not take it home 😂). He also had an amazing teammate overseeing our game, Michael. Huge thanks and shoutout to you guys! The room itself was designed really well. There were no issues with the room (any extra time wasted was solely because we weren’t thinking and being really dumb 😂). I would 100%+ do another one and I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!🤩🤩🤩

Amazing place. I’ve come hear three times so far and each time had the amazing Jamaal as our game-master. He gives us great clues and is super funny. Have done The Gift, Confinement, and Circus Game and each were great. Listen to the difficulty levels on the website, they definitely correspond. Games are really well themed and super fun to play. The optional jump scares in Confinement are great and will get you. Take some friends and you’ll have a super fun time. Again, shout-out to our amazing game-master Jamaal, he made sure we got out the room and had a fun time. Can’t wait to come back again!
