I came about this upon Groupon (Great deal) This is my third Escape room experience and compared to the other two, I would say this is my second fave.
I brought my family and for most of them it was their first time. The Davinci room was the only one available so we opted for that. Upon arrival, there was another large group waiting. Escape rooms have become popular over the past year and I was glad there is one close by to me.
We were explained the rules and given a short summary about the scenario. We were to find Davincis holy grail. There were 6 total and I was glad no one else joined our group because it is maxed at 8 per room. It turned out to be a good family night.
It involved critical thinking and some math. To me, some of the clues were complicated to find the right answer because the answers kept changing. I won't go into too much detail. Pretty much I feel you HAVE to at-least ask for 1 clue to escape. As for clues, you can ask for unlimited amounts of clues- it doesn't penalize you. Everyone must agree and you can have clues to help you within your 1 hour time limit. We ended up using 3 clues total but I think we could've passed with 2 clues and maybe 5 mins more of the game. We did not escape. Wahhh
I am curious to try the other rooms they have. One group came out as we did from another room and they did not escape as well. I am challenged to come back and try!
One downside I had was that I checked into Yelp and so did two of my other family members. The Yelp check in stated a free led necklace. The kids were excited about that and the guy behind the counter said to wait until we are done with our room. When we finished our game, we had asked him for the necklace except he didn't have them ready. He looked all through-out the drawers and even went to check in 'storage' but only came out with one. It was pretty disappointing. It can be one of two things: they are unorganized and could care less about Yelpers reviews or they just simply ran out because of the high Yelp check-Ins.
I'm going to just say they ran out because of high demand but I'll be looking forward to it the next time I come! Esp. If I bring the kids again.
3 1/2 stars.
