★★★★
Some pictures very challenging such as the alligator fang. Otherwise we loved it!

This was fun and a unique experience! Being gamers, it’s refreshing to do mystery solving games outdoors. Also made us explore and appreciate our downtown better. October is def a great time to do this!

Two phones, two versions of the truth. Argue about the prime suspect over drinks afterwards.
A team of detectives, one accusation, live rankings. Cheaper than the escape room you couldn’t get a slot for, and the kids usually crack the puzzles faster than the adults.
