“We did an escape room before this one at the same establishment and it was equally fun! Julia was our amazing guide and she even helped us during the cow room when we needed help with buttons. Everything was clean and worked perfectly. It was definitely more challenging in a good way. Every employee here is so welcoming and informed! I will definitely come back :)”
