What Rapid City players say
★ 4.4
★★★★
Your map moves around a lot. It is not stable. It is hard to read. The end of the story was not good. More details needed to make it more interesting. We liked most of the puzzles. The real world challenges were good.
★★★★★
super cool way to explore what new braunfels has to offer and all the historic landmarks in the area with an activity that keeps your mind going!
★★★★★
loved it! we did at night and was so fun for our family of 5! I’d say for kids at least 10 yrs. or older personally (depending on maturity ofc)
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.
