“My 15 and 13 year olds (skilled escape roomers) took about 25 minutes, plus searching the house for the 11 envelopes. The directions and clues were clear.”
Stacy S.Played The Easter Heist

“This was the perfect game for my ESL party! I’ll be purchasing more in the future.”
Scarlett S.Played Candyland

“I put this together for 2 kids, age 12 and 9, and they both loved it. I hid each chapter in its own little box around the house. The seller replied quickly with a great explanation when I had a question.”

“I bought this as an Easter activity for my kids, rather than more chocolate. It was brilliant, kept my 6 and 8 year olds busy for nearly 2 hours and the puzzles were just the right level. We will definitely be back for more!”
Laura H.Played Easter Escape Room

“We had a blast using this to make a haunted escape room in our garage with lock boxes, glow sticks and scary decorations. Both kids loved it!”

“I used this for my husband’s 40th birthday. Him and his siblings have done every actual escape room near us, so I was nervous this would be too easy. It actually was perfect. There was lots of laughing and they really enjoyed it and were challenged.”
