Places set, phones down, heart rates up-thinking caps on, goal visualized and away we went!!
I believe that the phrase "Money well spent" fails to emphasize the value gained for this entire 60 minute Adventure! Escaped OR detained- My husband, my family and I had an all-around Great experience here :)! I feel like we walked away with much more than we went in with.
Introspectively: We learned that, unknowingly, we can all over complicate things. It happens,especially in an intensified environment. This creates confusion and can cause the loss of precious time. It's EXCITING to get excited at the possibilities and new angles but when you hit a dead end remember to stop, take a breath and listen. There IS a solution.
Life lessons: Enjoy who you are and the joys of those that you go through things with. Take things as they are, use what you have, apply what is given to you and don't add to or take away from the truths. Focusing the importance on the people involved and the main goal at hand make all of the difference. Stepping up and standing back to include everyones abilities are both strengths.
Team building: Our team remains a team. I had a great time working together towards a common goal and seeing our family's strengths utilized. I learned we can have a lot of fun together and I realized what to grow from and a few new things about letting go of what isn't needed to focus on the facts right in front of me.
OVER ALL REFLECTIONS: Some folks may be all about win or loose and that's okay. These same are extatic to make the best time or they may even be a bit too hard on themselves if they walk away a little bummed if they don't win. But a game is just that, a game. However, I feel like this escape room is built to be a lot more than just a game.
It emphasized its own key term. Its mission was to execute the "perfect escape." The Experience Escape Room is a place to step out of the normal and just enjoying being a team, group of friends, colleagues, and family! It afforded me a place where being prefect and "winning"were not a weight. Meeting or beating the quickest run time didn't become a stress to perform or impress.
Here, we were given the chance to:
Be A force together, Empathize with eachothers situation, Get excited together, Gain perspective Alternate leadership and listening, Train in various approaches
Gaining a respect for eachother IN Applied differences and similarities, I was proud that our team was able to:
Co sympathize when discouraged at our shared struggles then become Encouraged at our accomplishments "Together."
Problem solving; thinking individually and collectively, for the sake of understanding, appreciating, helping eachother and well, down right enjoying eachothers company; Now, Those ARE my kind of goals. MISSION: ACCOMPLISHED
PERSONAL TAKE: I'd love the opportunity to go again with the same team and see how well we do the second time around. I believe that we will have an even more amazing experience having learned more about ourselves and gleaned fragments of insight at how we are now better able to act together towards new goals.
APPRECIATIONS: To my brothers and their wives: Thank you for supporting eachother and for stepping out of the norm to afford us all a new and exciting experience together. We did something that gave us brand new challenges and skills to reflect on and learn from. Thank you for a chance to have fun!
To the owners: My, the eclectivity of what minds are at work here? :) My sincere compliments and thanks to you for your creativeness and execution of providing both complex and simple team building objectives through realized immagination. To be able to successfully pair environmental stimulus with visual, mental, tactile, intrapersonally interactive and cognative problem solving opportunities is an ever changing and challenging task. A Job Well done by you all!!
Ps. We also appreciated your providing a chair for our neurodivergent friends and respectfully engaging with our team members so that all were able to...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreIf you have experience with a lot of escape rooms donāt go here. The puzzles are basic, while also being far to difficult to figure out how to solve. The room had no objective and the story was weak. The props were very wore and the set dressing was boring.
They expect you to remember exactly how items were placed in the room to solve a puzzle, even though they tell us to touch things and move them around. Other puzzles had conflicting information one how to solve them. IE numbers with directions when the numbers didnāt do anything. Noises that played and nothing happened. And arrows that pointed in directions that didnāt matter. If you have done escape rooms before this time of information is usually trying to help you solve the puzzle but in this case just confused us more.
The game master was not very kind. She was stand-offish and sent us generic clues which didnāt always help our situation.
One puzzle didnāt even work and the game master had to come into the room to try to solve it and that still didnāt work and had to open the puzzle control room to set it off herself. Very disappointing.
Big downside you only get three clues and they would not tell us how the room finished up even though we were on one of the last puzzles. I would not spend another 25 dollars to find out how the rooms ended.
One star. Do...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreI have been to this location 3-4 times and really enjoyed it, but unfortunately had my first poor experience tonight. Our dinner reservation ran over unfortunately and we all rushed over making it at 7:15, 15 mins after our 7 reservation slot. I walked in excited and was met with in my opinion rude staff, taking it out on me we were late, which I planned this as an expecting wife for my husbands 30th. I had NO complaints about a shorter time needed for being late and totally understood and expected thay (we actually made it out of the room at 8:00 exactly, so it was totally fine anyways on your end!) but we weāre more than happy to take a shorter time and up for the challenge and weāre only excited towards staff, (and either way you guys were going to keep my 300 dollars which I again, made absolutely no complaints about, so wasnāt sure the attitude made a lot of sense as a business). Obviously, I would have liked to be on time, but life happens and we had no complaints about a shorten room time, which was the obvious solution. Put a bit of a damper on the night and sadly lost a customer, and probably 10 as our whole group agreed about the kindness of the staff...
