★★★★★
Really good and great and the social group love it so much
★★★★★
Questions were good - made you think but not too difficult. Great date night!
★★★★★
Great family activity that gets the kids out of the house while exploring the city.
★★★★
it was fun! could have been a little more difficult - maybe another option for the next time! we thoroughly enjoyed it!
★★★★
the first clue was hard/or we just sucked and it would have been cool to see what the actual clue WAS when we asked for the reveal. the diary one was too simple - we assumed it couldn’t be that easy that it was just the message so spent time trying to find something more ‘hidden’. Great fun though! thank you!

Who's playing tonight?
One pass unlocks the whole group’s phones: the Duo covers 2, the Fellowship 5. From $8.60 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.
