My boyfriend and I are new to escape rooms, so we tried the South Park themed room while we were in town and I HIGHLY recommend it to anyone who is looking for something fun to do during this pandemic! Christian was our guide/hintmaster and he was so charismatic, funny and energetic and made our whole experience really enjoyable! We cant wait to go back and try another room!!!!!

This place was a blast!! A great experience from start to finish with friendly service and a very cool escape room. It was challenging but as a first time player, it was not overwhelming. I definitely recommend giving this place a shot.

I loved it. My girls and were 1 clue short but it was an excellent experience. We had a ball. Definitely recommend this for all your friends and family. Have a great time. Enjoy the fun.

Tons of fun. Just challenging enough to really make you think, but not make you give up. Came here tonight with a group of 4 and we finished with 2 minutes left. Would recommend :)

My spouse and me went there yesterday. We did the clock tower room. The room was great. The riddles were good and quiet unique. Its not an easy room.Highly recommend. Probably better for a group larger than 2 people.

It was so much fun! My family took me for Cartmans Escape room as a birthday gift and it was a blast! I highly recommend for South Park fans it’s full of fun references!

The facility was kept clean (especially important during these trying times), and the staff was friendly. The room (clocktower) was challenging, interactive, and engaging. I would have liked a system where clues were given a little more systematically, but I also feel like my group might not have made it in time without those little hints here and there.Overall a good experience. Would certainly recommend the room to avid escape the room-goers.

I booked Cartman’s Escape Room for my sisters birthday. Our game guide was funny and helpful with hints, the game was challenging but not extremely difficult. We escaped with three minutes to go. Such a fun experience, would definitely book again in the future.

This was my first escape the room experience along with my group of 8 and it was an awesome time! The staff was very kind and helpful to me from the booking to the event. Especially during the pandemic, I didnt feel cheated out of the full experience because everything was accessible and clean. I gave 4 stars because this is my first time.

So fun! Staff were great, this place is the best you can get for social distancing escape rooms without impacting the experience. Would definitely recommend :)

Je
Review №14

The staff was very nice and helpful. The room we did (Clock Tower) was not so much. It was unclear what to do and when to do it, the technology was unresponsive at times, and the story did not forward the experience. It felt like a compilation of puzzles more than a coherent escape room. We did not leave thinking We need to come back and do their other rooms.

A nice experiance with the boys. Beware there is no A/C so it gets very hot (especially wearing a mask). Would do again.

Went there and the host/guy @ front was so funny! He was very in character and it definitely made it fun. Clues were helpful even if we didn’t beat it. Already planning another trip ️.

We did not escape from Skooool, but still had a great time in a super fun room! Love that we were able to book with just our family due to the Covid19 situation.

Review №18

We had a group of co-workers go through and we had a good time. It was an immersive experience for our group of 9, and there were separate puzzles and tasks to complete to progress.Alas, we didnt escape but we did progress, and made it to the last section before time ran out. Definitely something to experience with a group!

Review №19

I love games like this, play them all the time on the computer. This was like a computer come to life! First of all, I had no idea this existed! We live outside the country and were in Boston visiting friends and they mentioned this and it blew my mind! We immediately made reservations for our group of 6 and it was amazing! It really was an unforgettable experience. Super fun, we laughed so hard and we actually completed the game!!!!I would absolutely do it again and recommend it to friends and family!

Pretty cool experience!! In case you miss the fine print, you may or may not be booked with strangers, but as long as youre open to solving puzzles and riddles youll have a good time. Definitely returning.

Overall was a goo escape room experience. Our group chose “The apartment”. It was challenging but fun. Props were well set up, quiz master was nice and helpful. I would go to this location again.

Really fun experience... tried The Clock Room and even though it was more complex than expected, we got very close to the end. Would definitely return and try a different room.

The presentation and layout was awesome for the south park escape room. As a big fan of SP, it was great! Our guide was excellent too and he did a great introduction!

Review №24

Everything worked, which is a basic requirement but not every room Ive done can say the same thing.We did Cartmans escape room. The theme was on point and all the puzzles and clues were intuitive. Solved in 58:24. Highly recommended.

Je
Review №25

What a riveting experience! Tyler was a great host who knew just when to throw us a hint to nudge us along (some might say he was dashingly handsome as well). We did the Clock Tower this time, but we plan on conquering all of them in the days to come.

Mystery. Action. Logic. Amazing staff. Be sure to try this escape room out. Impressive. Clever puzzles. Enjoy the challenge and bring your group of friends closer by escaping the room!

I went today with my hubby. We were put together with a group of 3 in the apartment. This was my first time. We did not escape. This team building exercise was awesome! Schedule your appointment. You will have fun!!

Love this place. I havent won yet. Ive been here twice and its just a fun place to bring friends and combine minds to figure out how to escape the room depending on the theme.

We did the clock tower game. It was a lot of fun. There were 4 of us and although we just missed escaping the room, we had an absolute blast. Definitely will return!

Review №32

I came with my work team and it was just so much fun. I can see how this could be especially challenging for a fragmented team or a team with communication issues, but my team works together very well. We laughed a lot and got so close to finishing! My only thought is that it would be great if you could add an additional 5 minutes if youre close (we were on the last clue).

We had a terrific time doing The Clock Tower room. Our group of 7 had 3 children under the age of 10 and we got pretty far in the game. They all had fun and want to do it again! Thank you!

Challenging but not impossibly difficult.Great way to see how a group works together.Gives everyone a chance to use their particular skills since there many different types of puzzles.

Review №36

Amazing experience! We were in The Dig, and it was very intricate and fun. At first my group and I were unsure about teaming up with the other group, but it turned out to be awesome nonetheless. HIGHLY recommend!! Although it’s a bit pricey, I’d say it was definitely worth it.

Lots of fun. The Carman one is hilarious! A bit expensive but still a good time

Review №38

We did The Dig with our own group of 4 and had an absolute blast. The puzzles were challenging but not frustrating (when things finally made sense, *ding, lightbulb!* they made sense, which was thrilling!) The gentleman who signed us in and our game-master, Stewart, were both super nice and added to the fun. The building entrance wasnt obvious but it honestly wasnt that hard to find. Well definitely be coming back for another room!

My boyfriend and I were a little nervous at first to be playing with a big group of strangers but it ended up being a really fun experience! The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. We will definitely be coming back to try the other themed escaped rooms!

Great time, my brother got two random girls numbers while they were locked in there with us. Major score. 5 stars would go again.

Ve
Review №43

The worst escape room experience ever.If you want to waste your money on half destroyed escape room (stove handles were taped, the puzzle pictures hardly visible and etc.). Also they do not have a story or legend, just lock you in the room and you have to get out. There is so many disorganized and not logical think in there. We started late, so so customer service. Do not waste your time.

Review №46

Escaped from the Apartment which was a second generation escape room. Despite doing almost 90 escape rooms, I found this one very intriguing with how the various releases came to life (I cant say more without giving things away). I also liked how the hint system worked -- the gamemaster would simply guide you with a hint as needed to progress you through the game. We were a group of 7 who escaped with 18 minutes to spare but the hints came in right about when we were feeling desolate with our progress and were a thought-provoking guide to the next step rather than a straight answer.

Review №47

It was a lot of fun!! We had Kaitlin as our helper and she was the friendliest person. A little difficult to get into the building but someone passing by was able to help us. Went with a group of girls for a bachelorette weekend and we all had a blast!

Mi
Review №48

Excellent time. Would recommend bringing a larger group because the rooms are designed for ~8-10 people. Definitely doable with a smaller group, but finding some of the clues benefits from having at least 6 people on your team. Would highly recommend the Dig as a room. Fun puzzles and stages!

Review №51

The Clocktower room is the best room here. All of these rooms are very linear and the storylines could use some work. The electronics in the Cartman room were very finicky and somewhat buggy. Some of the other escape room companies in the area are much better.

Wonderful game!! We did The Clock Tower and it was detailed perfectly!! Finished with 1 minute to spare....two adults and two kids 15, 13 and two other adults that were not part of our party but they were great!!Definitely will come back....thanks!

Review №53

First of all, the room was very fun. Lots of puzzles and we had to work together to get through them all (we did the clock tower).But the real star was the staff. We had a reservation but before we arrived we had a friend want to join. We asked if there was space but unfortunately our room was full. But Christian and Tyler were so kind that they allowed us to do a different room that was not filled up, and our whole group was able to have fun. It really meant a lot to us that they helped us out like that. They certainly care about their customers. Thanks guys!

Review №59

Easy to get to, great pre-room service (check in, rules, explanation, story), and fantastic room. We did the Clocktower room which had a steampunk time travel design. Challenging, well made puzzles. Each puzzle was unique, it wasnt just a bunch of combination locks and keys. The aesthetic and design were well done. Also, I liked that the monitors sent clues when they thought you needed them, you didnt have to ask. Loved it.

My friends and I had a great time at this place. I have never been to an escape room before this so I really have nothing to compare it to but I thought overall it was really well setup. The room that we did was quite elaborate and took us almost all the time to complete. It honestly was less elaborate than I thought it would be. I thought that the clues would be a little bit harder to decipher so I was a little bit disappointed by that but like I said since Ive never been to another escape room Im not sure if theyre all done that way. Overall I thought that the staff there was really helpful and accommodating. I was about 5 minutes late for our point of time but they still let me in. I know that some Escape rooms wont let people into the room if they come late so I thought the staff here was really nice too let me join in even though I was late. Its also really knows how they explain the clues to you at the end when you finish because some of the clues we didnt understand how they were closed at all. Im not sure what the price for Escape rooms usually are but I honestly thought that $32 per person was a little bit overpriced. I would recommend this place since I did have a lot of fun but make sure you look into the different themes of rooms that they have.

We had a group of 7 and were able to do it ourselves. It was a lot of fun, the staff were very nice, and the room was challenging (The Apartment). I cant wait to do another!

Such a fun experience! Well organized, punctual, and enjoyable. Room was just challenging enough to make it fun. The location was also easy to access given its vicinity to trains and buses, with plenty of hot spots for meals and/or drinks before and/or after.

We did The Apartment. Great team/Group experience. Really gets your brain going! With each clue solved, we were left hungry and in search for more and more clues. Tons of Fun! I loved it! Cant wait to try another room.

Review №66

That was a lot of fun! Tricky, but fun. Im pretty sure they took it easy on us because there were kids in our group because it was hard. We solved it literally at the last minute. It was pretty intense.We were paired with strangers and they were the sweetest kids. I would like for their parents to know that they are doing a great job. The kids were smart, respectful, and resourceful.The people that run the show were very nice and helpful. We were pretty concerned when they locked is in a room with no explanation, but some last minute clues came in very handy. All in all a really good time.

This was a great experience me and my family! It was a complex room with great clues (even the three PhDs in the party had to work for it!) and was very interactive. The staff were fantastic—very friendly and fun. We left wishing we could do it all again, and we’re planning to go back and try other rooms soon. Would totally recommend for other families, as well as adults.

My house mates and I have gone several times in the past week and have had an absolute blast. Clue master Matt is the best guy ever and we were blessed to have him for all three rooms! He only gave us four memes in the last room (we requested five and I would still like my last meme, youve got our emails) but he is absolutely amazing and very very personable.

Review №77

I went a few weeks ago for the South Park escape room which was so much fun. We ended up starting a half hour or so late due to issues inside the room. Throughout the hour it got hotter and hotter in the diffrent rooms. The heater was on way to high. Whoever watches us gives us clues to help us out when it gets crazy confusing. Not due to it being super difficult,but when you habe 8 to 10 people in the room cant concentrate on one thing. Other then that, employees who worked the night i did were super nice and welcoming. And takeing photos afterwards weather you won or not is really fun. One downfall to this place is the fact that its can get crowded if you kept it to 6 or below it would be fine but after that its cramped and confusing.

Review №89

I really liked the experience. Ive been to other escape rooms and I think this one is one of the good ones. There are no limited hints (which is good). Only thing I would like to see changed is that if you go in a big group and want to play with your friends they force you to wait till the slot is filled. We had 2 other people join our group. Not saying there werent helpful but I would enjoy it more with my group only.

A little hard to find the place, but then again that could be the first puzzle to solve, but staff is great and helpful.

The business on the ground floor is gone, but the Escape room is there. A local who works in the building showed us the way. The staff was super friendly and helpful and the experience was great. It was our first time. We didnt make it out, but almost did it. When time ended, staff walked us threw the rest and we were on the right track. They also answered any questions we had at the end. Loved it and highly recommend it to anyone. We did the dig, may go back tomorrow for another one.

Excellent as a team bonding activity. Thoroughly enjoyed myself, and time passes way too quickly. Was in the apothecary/alchemy room and managed to solve the room with 15mins to spare.
