Had the best time in the colosseum. Went with 3 people total, but more would work just as well I'm sure. Very fun setting and humour inside the games. Greeted and taken care of by Michael who was excellent and room ran by Rooney who was just as amazing. Highly recommend

Fun experience in some really creative rooms. Puzzles are challenging, but doable. Tons of fun! The staff was wonderful, and the location just off Mag-Mile is super convenient. Thanks to Maijah and Loran for hosting a memorable afternoon!

Did Haunted Hotel with my three sons (6, 9, and 12yo), and we got paired with 2 other adults. We solved with 15 mins left. We had a fantastic time. August was a great guide / hotel concierge!

This was so much fun and the staff was SO incredibly nice. We had 6 players for the President’s Bunker game — 4 adults and 2 children. It was challenging but in a great way — it pushed us to think creatively! We laughed a TON, def recommend!

We had a group of 6 and 2 others were added. It was really fun, it made sense, and the rooms are set up very nice. Will be going back!
