Player Review
"I went as part of a company team-building experience; we had three teams in three different rooms. It was perfect for team building since we all had to work together to find clues. My team was in the Antidote room which was interesting and challenging. One of the other teams escaped with only 9 seconds left and the other team did not make it out. The staff was welcoming, helpful and friendly."Ellen (TripAdvisor)

Or will you succumb to the madness that claimed the Nautilus crew? Time is running out, and you're not alone! Do you think you have what it takes for this incredible challenge?

"This was amazing! We chose to do the Prison Break (which is the hardest one) but we were up to the challenge. Our game master was amazing, nice, and helpful.
