★★★★
I would have liked to have m ore of the surroundings worked into the puzzles.
★★★★★
It was an outstanding experience! The puzzles were somehow built in a way that both my mom and I could do. If one person didn’t understand the puzzle then the other would.
★★★★★
It was a nice way for us to explore Albany while walking. we saw many things on our trip that we are going to check out at a later date to restaurants, pubs, etc.
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.
