Overall we had a good time and the lady who guided us was great. We did Sanctuary and I want to come on here and talk about it a little bit because I think it’s fair to know what you’re going into because some of it was a little irritating.
Sanctuary is HUGE. At their second location they allow an hour and a half for it, but they decided to take 30 minutes off at this location for funsies I guess? That was the first irritating part. According to our guide, only a 5th of people actually make it through. I recommend doing Sanctuary with a larger group if anything, not two people for a date like us.
Second part that was irritating was one of the locks was facing the wall, and even with the lamp I couldn’t see to get my hands around it well enough to put in the code.. along with it the code to this specific clue was wrong, or the clue was wrong and our guide had to come in there to assist and even said that something about it was wrong. It took up a good 10 minutes of our time, we still wouldn’t have made it out but we would have gotten much further if the staff who set the room up didn’t make that mistake.
I also think in the description for the games they should recommend the party size.. I think with more minds to figure it out Sanctuary would have been more feasible, I know it’s a “escape” room and it’s not supposed to be easy but we had a whole extra room to do with 3 more puzzles and where we made it to was “above average” for visitors.. Our guide stated we’d be separated in the first room for “30 minutes” and that’s half the time with 2 more rooms to go, so like I said not really a great game play for 2 people and I think it should be included in the description.
The props at the end are super cute, and I think the pricing for it is worth it overall.
