Whispering pines has been open since 1930, and with good reason. It's not as big or flashy as some newer places, but it's in great condition and a lot of fun. And it's now associated with the Parkside diner right next door, so you can combine the two for a nice afternoon of fun and a great meal.

Nine of us went into the Escape Room; none of us had ever done one before. Great fun, challenging, and each of us contributed something important to the overall progress. My only suggestion is that they should have soft drinks or something for afterwards-- everyone is so pumped at the end, and we wanted to "relive" parts or talk about what happened. We all went to dinner somewhere else after. They could do well to offer that there

My girlfriend and I were able to complete this room together and made our way out with 1 second remaining. We were only able to accomplish this because of our great game master Tyler who had some nice hints which helped us along our way. We can’t wait to go back and try the Heist sometime!

The Museum Heist was an excellent escape room experience. There were multiple puzzles for the group to decipher. Puzzles opened unexpected areas revealing more clues and needed evidence necessary for the ultimate escape. Staff was friendly and helpful.
