| - Our group of four purchased our experience via Groupon, which saved us almost 50% off the ticket price. For the discounted price, I recommend the experience. Personally, I would not pay full price for the experience.
When we went online to book the game, we chose the Nuclear Meltdown, simply because it was the only one that did not have any spots filled. We took a chance hoping that we would get a private experience without paying the additional fee.
Upon arrival, we were greeted by Daniel, who was at the front desk and checked us in. We then sat for about 10 minutes while the group before us finished up their game. They have couches for your party to hang out on, so you're not standing around disheveled. Daniel let us know that in less than fives minutes he'd start to prep us for our game and pointed out the bathrooms for us. Turns out, we were the only ones signed up for the time slot!
When we entered the room, Daniel gave us a comprehensive overview of the rules and pertinent information needed to have a successful run of the game. He pointed out objects that look enticing but actually have no impact in the game; to touch them might actually damage them. We appreciated this because we felt like he wasn't giving us clues, but also ensured we respected the room's property. In the room, he has a camera to watch us. There is also an intercom where we can ask for help when needed. In other escape room businesses, there is usually a fifteen minute period at the beginning where the employee does not give us clues, but Daniel said he'd be of help whenever we needed him.
The room in and of itself is spacious with numerous clues and red herrings. It had a healthy balance of both; just enough to easily sidetrack a group. Everything in the room worked just as it should. There was one instance when a clue didn't work, and just as we were about to move on and try something else, Daniel hopped on the intercom to tell us to try again because it should have worked. We appreciated his attentiveness as we have been in another escape room in which we called out for help for over ten minutes and the employee was not watching or listening for us. He made sure we didn't lose any time because of a faulty clue.
We finished the room with 2 minutes to spare and only asked for 3-4 clues. Daniel came in afterward to take pictures and chat with us about the game. He gave us great commentary and was encouraging about our finish time. When we inquired about the other escape rooms, he was honest, saying Nuclear Meltdown was the hardest of the three rooms and that it would only be worth it if we came with less people.
Overall, it was a great experience- namely because of Daniel. He made us laugh and prepared us well for the experience. I recommend this escape room for those new to the experience overall. Seasoned escapees might find this game rather easy, but even then, we had a wonderful time.
FYI: Daniel let us know that if we did want to come back and have another private experience without paying the additional fee, weekday nights are our best bet. Definitely check out their Groupon packages to get an amazing deal. Their online booking system made it clear how to utilize the coupon code. Everything was simple and clear!
