Experience Machine: The Mind Suite — Attraction in Upland

Top Recommendation! A+ Experience: My family and I experienced two rooms in one evening, The Shack and The Amazing Argo. Both were solid, engaging and fun albeit different escape adventures. I’ll begin by stating that we have been to many escape rooms and it is always a pleasure to encounter owners and GMs that are enthusiastic about their work. The Experience Machine provided both with owner, Andres, performer Rafael, and GM Hannah. All of them contributed to an exceptional time for my family and I. Top recommendation forThe Shack. This experience it truly unique because it provides the perfect blend of escape room components and immersive theater. It truly provides the ambiance, storyline and performance (a live actor assumes the role as an investigator) that immerses participants into the role of assistant investigators. So as not to give too much away, I will say that it was a creepy, engaging and intriguing room. Rafael, the live actor, playing Gabriel carries this experience as it is up to him to guide us to clues and information while maintaining solid immersion in the story. This is no easy task, but Rafael was excellent and his performance was top notch and on par with what one would expect from a regarded theatrical production. So to bring this element to an escape scenario with puzzles, clues etc elevates the experience to a new level of immersion giving guests the gift of deciding to keep it closer to a puzzle escape room or delving deeper bringing their own creativity to the experience. This is what makes The Shack stand out as one of our favorite escape rooms to date. My teenage daughters had such enthusiasm for this room leaving me with the thought that the creators are on to something special here and in hopes that there will be more to come. The Experience Machine also offers fun thematic experiences one can expect from a quality escape room establishment. The Amazing Argo did not disappoint. With a steampunk theme and setting, our puzzle solving skills were challenged. We will definitely return for their Pirate room as soon as we can. I highly recommend both rooms but I would say that The Shack should be a priority for those who are up for a bit...

Really awesome room! I played Treasure Quest with one other person and both of us have played about 90-120 other rooms. We started out in different rooms and had to really work together to figure out how to get back together. We both thought that the puzzles were very creative and there were definitely some puzzles that we've never seen or thought of. The owners are a couple of really kind people and you could tell that they put a lot of thought into these puzzles. They really stumped us sometimes! Overall, I had a great time in this room and can't wait for their next...

This was our very first escape room and we loved it! We did the The Argo - steampunk submarine and we were a party of eight. The whole group enjoyed the experience and we will definitely be coming back. The staff was extremely helpful and super friendly and gave us clues when we had no idea what to do and they were very patient with us. Though the escape room options were limited to two, the friendly and enthusiastic staff and the challenging puzzles in the escape room make up for it. We can't wait to come back and try the...
