★★★★
Everything was so much fun! There were a couple puzzles that didn't make sense even with the hints, but overall it was a great experience!
★★★★★
we both enjoy this activity. An inexpensive way to spend the evening together and explore our downtown area. It allowed us to spot some businesses we weren’t even aware existed! Admittedly, we were still stumped at the end and the actual killer was our third choice.
★★★★★
this was a lot of fun and the weather outside was perfect for strolling the streets. The clues were great but we were overthinking many of them lol would definitely recommend and do again. it’s a great side quest adventure for a day when you have a couple of hours

Who's playing tonight?
One pass unlocks the whole group’s phones: the Duo covers 2, the Fellowship 5. From $8.40 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.
