A great couple hours spent. Good fun and something a bit different to do at a fair price. Would highly recommend. I have select family with teens but it was actually a family of 4 adults

Jason_S, Jan 2022

It was a great time, the mystery was not too easy or too hard or to hard. We could have used more than 2 hours to complete. The area we walked around was safe and not difficult to traverse.

Response from Host, Jan 2022

Thank you for taking the case, detectives! We appreciate your hard work, and we hope you can join us for another mystery soon! Sincerely, Mark (Head of Operations)

Mysteriously fun!

Rohan_L, Aug 2021

Really good fun. Something you should do with your partner, test your understanding. Getting to know downtown was super cool too.

Response from Host, Aug 2021

Thank you for the report, detective! We hope you'll come back to try our spy game next time. Thank you!

So Fun!

I had a fabulous time with this mystery adventure! A friend and I solved the murder in about 2 hours- one tip- sit down and read through the police report, your questionnaire sheet and all the clues. It will save you time. However, you will have to walk quickly. Use all the clues.

Response from Host, Oct 2019

Hi there, Thank you for your review and I'm so glad to hear you had a blast! Great advice, too - it's good to have an idea about the challenges you'll be solving before you get to the. Excellent work, detective!! Best, Shelby S. Assistant Experience Manager
