★★★★★
"We live in Ken Caryl and have been meaning to try this place forever. Did The Submarine and it blew us away — the set design is wild and our game master was hilarious. So much better than another movie night."

★★★★★
"Birthday party for 12 people — we split into two groups and raced. Western Bank Heist was the crowd favorite. The staff handled our chaotic group like pros and we grabbed food at the mall after. Best birthday I've planned."
Melissa R. · Google · 2 weeks ago
★★★★★
"Took the kids here on a snow day when we couldn't ski. Everyone had a blast — even our teenager who 'didn't want to do an escape room.' She ended up solving half the puzzles. This is now our go-to bad-weather activity."
Karen S. · Google · 1 month ago
★★★★★
"Five rooms is a huge selection — we've done three so far and each one feels completely different. Jurassic Escape is the standout if you want a real challenge. The fact that it's in Southwest Plaza with free parking makes it so easy to just show up."
