“I took a group of students for their elective week. David and the team were so accomodating at making this happen for our students.Easy clear communication made organising this event very simple. The rooms were exciting, challenging and fun. The feedback from the whole group was that they really enjoyed their experience. Thank you to the team for taking time to speak with us and answer some questions about building our own escape rooms. We really appreciated your time.”

“The Brickening was very good and honestly one of the better escape rooms we've done. We also appreciated how hints were handled here - not outright telling you the answer, just a nudge in the direction you need to look, and only given when asked (though was told ahead of time might be given hints to keep up on time). Overall, very fun, very much enjoyed this room's theme.”

“We have been multiple times now and each experience has been unique, challenging, and fun in its own way. On our most recent visit the team went above and beyond to make sure that we had a special experience, one that has created lasting memories. Thank you so much again for the time, effort, and thought that went into it.”
