Good time for $22for 2 people, very glad it was 1/2 off
★★★★★
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!
★★★★★

Gather your party
Who's playing tonight?
One pass unlocks the whole group’s phones: the Duo covers 2, the Fellowship 5. From $6.00 per person, with no booking and no set time.
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.
