 | 	- This review is based solely on the Sherlock room. 
As many others have noted the staff was friendly, and if I had to rate them on service alone I would likely give them 4 stars, however, overall I was disappointed. Considering I paid over $100 for my group to participate, and we were all greatly anticipating the experience as soon as we stepped into the room our excitement quickly deflated.
Other reviewers have said that "oh they are new they'll get more stuff", my opinion is that if you can't fully furnish your rooms to fit the theme you've labeled them then you should WAIT to open. It's like a restaurant opening up without enough ingredients to cook everything on the menu.  I expected a room detailed and described as a 'Sherlock Room' room would provide you with a SHERLOCK experience. It was basically a small, plain, white-walled room with no decor aside from a few miscellaneous items  (vacuum, file cabinet, table, etc). No paint on the walls,no rugs, no pictures, nothing. It felt like walking into a sad office. They could have easily furnished this room through the flea market, goodwill or even garage sales to provide at least some type of ambiance, and painted the walls.
Another thing that kind of ruined the experience for us was that an employee kept coming in to help us. The whole idea of this place is that you are "locked" in a room and trying to find the clues to escape. If someone keeps waltzing in to help then it disrupts the whole concept. It's nice they were trying to be helpful, but I would have rather they hadn't. The point is for you and your group to figure it out, and if you can't you lose and come another time to try again if you want, but if they tell you how to do it then where is the fun? The clues themselves were difficult, but didn't seem to have anything in common with the theme of the room to make it a cohesive experience. I really have no clue why it's called the Sherlock Room.
I know there is another place like this in town, but after this experience the hype and excitement is kind of gone for me so I will likely no go to either.
