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)

Game master description
Can you escape The Legend of the Silent Tide?
Review Tiffany SukysMy husband and I are avid Escape Room goers. We've done a lot of other rooms around the Orlando area; this was our first time at this location. Our game master, Derek, was awesome from start to finish and made the experience amazing (even through some technical difficulties with our room). And the owner Tom was also great to work with. I would definitely recommend this location for the first time or experienced escape room lovers.

About the experience
Baldwin Manor is an escape room designed and conceptualized by Escape Artists Orlando.
Your family has suffered from 100 years of bad fortune. The famous legend says that this poor luck of your family resulted from your great aunt's attempt at black magic.
Your aunt was curious about magic and wanted to possess good luck for herself. She tried to conjure up the magic to bring good luck but reversed it to curse herself instead!
Since then, 100 years have gone by. You also inherited the family estate which is the property where the curse originated. You have finally decided to break this curse.
Due to your great destiny, you arrived at the home on the anniversary of the spell. According to the legend, this anniversary will be your only chance to break the curse.
Can you successfully save your family from more bad luck?

"Simply stated, this place ran like clockwork. Our group selected the "Under Pressure" escape. While maintaining an air of friendliness, the staff kept everyone running on schedule. We did the release forms and were called on time to start out adventure. The hostess took us to the room location, gave us a brief but thorough introduction.

"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.
