This was my first ever escape room! We had so much fun we went to a different company the next day.
We played Double Crossed and there was just 4 of us. It was the perfect escape room for first timers. We specifically wanted a game that wasn't scary or gory.
What we loved:
-unlimited clues
-entrance to the lobby was a mini game itself and set the mood!
-3 different tablets for check-in & waivers
-Double Cross felt like a real set with real furniture (vs DIY props we saw at other places)
-unique setup that makes you feel like you're really IN and part of the narrative of the game
-friendly staff
Areas for improvement
-If a game has to be reset because a new group is starting the same game another group just finished, let the finishing group know & allow a time/space to process by answering questions if staff is available (we realize this might not be possible but it would be nice!)
-if a lock is getting worn and the numbers don't align properly from so much usage, it might mean it's time to replace the lock!
As you can see, there was more to love than areas of improvement.
It was honestly so much fun that that's why we had to find another escape room to try! And we would've gone back to this one but we are weak sauce and too scared to do scary ones.
Thanks for a great first time experience & for so much fun!
