10/28/2026- it’s my 41st birthday, and my sister was wonderful and booked this for us! I was worried that the 12 & 14 year olds were not going to be into it, but they loved it so much! This was our second room at the Burlington location, and oh man was that a great time! Brianna and Pepper were a dream team, we really lucked out with them as game masters! We loved the challenging puzzles, the little details and how immersive this room was! They were so helpful when we got stuck and kept the game moving! Original visit: Amazing! Cyrus was so helpful, patient and easy going. Truly a blast. 10/10 the escape artist room was incredible.
