RED VEIN Escape

RED VEIN has been in the entertainment and attraction business since 2011. We opened RED VEIN Haunted House at Hanover Vegetable Farm in 2016 and are very excited to open up RED VEIN Escape, our year round, multi-escape room game experience in downtown Ashland.

What a BLAST! Outstanding - We've done more than 10 Escape rooms. This one by far is the most creative and the storyline ties into the local community (so you can really get into it!). Props were outstanding and everything is in excellent condition. The place is extremely clean and exudes enthusiasm. This is not a chain so the creativity and condition is spot on. We did it in the evening with a total of 4 people which helped the imagination go wild. If you go, I would recommend doing Phobia as well. Truly a great way to top off your experience and get energized for the Hunt or either and the night. I look forward to doing their dinner theater and new Escape room which launches in a few weeks (April 2020?).

The historic Ashland Theatre is currently owned by the town and run by volunteers. It hosts a wide variety of entertainment programming including movies, concerts, dinner theater, visits with Santa and much more. Plans are afoot to restore the theater and secure professional operations staff in the coming months.

There are so many items in this store. It goes on for miles it seems and every turn has a new, fun item. Staff is friendly and helpful, selection is vast, and prices seem fair. I'm no expert in the antique market but this store was fantastic!
