Happy Reviews
We booked the 1920s murder mystery for a special event, and it was amazing! The atmosphere was spot-on, and the twists kept everyone guessing. We didn’t expect the reveal at all—it was such a fun challenge! Plus, we made some pretty decent paintings at the end of the night. Everyone had a blast, and it made the night unforgettable”
Emma R
"We hired the Ancient Egyptian-themed art escape room for our team building event, and we didn’t know what to expect. From the start, we were hooked! The twists and turns kept us on our toes—we never saw it coming! Everyone had an unforgettable time. Highly recommend it!"
Sarah T
" We attended the 'Voices in the Dark' paint and sip night and it was truly one of the best events we’ve been to. So unique and utterly brilliant! The interactive mystery made it so much fun, and we loved the twist at the end. We’ll definitely be back!
