The facilitator we were paired with was full of personality and added to the experience! They allow you to bring in your own food and throw the axes in a number of ways! I would recommend this location but it is pricey.

We love this place! Very comfortable seating, and during the covid pandemic, they strictly observe all protocols, so we feel very safe, especially since crowds are basically non-exisitent. In mid-week during the day, we sometimes have the theater to ourselves, or share with just a handful of others. They also have a nice selection of food and beverage, not just popcorn and candy!

Escapology

Fairfax's original premium real life escape game experience! Located in a prime spot, up to 6 players will be challenged in this new attraction by working together to find clues, solve puzzles, and pick locks that will free them from the game room. Do you have what it takes to escape?

We took a group of six to the escape room. It was fun to choose from different themes. It was our first time doing an escape room, so I was happy everything was explained well. It was challenging but with clues it was not frustrating.
