I (grandma) took my 15 year old grandson, plus two friends, and we did the Landlord escape room. It was excellent. We were joined by another group (4 fun ladies). We were concerned about how that would go since we didn't know each other, but it worked out great, and the boys actually were very proud to be able to help the women since it was their first time. The puzzles are not linear, so it allowed all to begin solving different ones at the same time. Compared to other escape rooms we've done, this one was better labeled, making it less frustrating to solve. We only had one hiccup. One person in the group messed up a lock trying to use the wrong key. We had to have the staff guy come fix it. He was pretty upset and flustered, which was understandable given the circumstances, but he could have handled it better. He called out the person in the group and berated her in front of anyone. I am not saying I would not have acted the same way, but come on, breathe and remember Customer Service is key. As it was, we solved all and were able to escape with seconds to spare! Afterwards, the staff person walked us through all the solutions and explained some interesting things we had missed. We highly recommend this Escape Room experience and are excited to return to try their other room. It's not really that pricey given that it's a full hour of exciting mental and rewarding fun. Afterwards, there are fun photos to pose for.
