Josh was amazing! We showed up on the wrong day for the last hour slot... and wasn’t able to go on the day we accidentally booked on... he went above and beyond to cater for us and got us in that same hour!!! Will be coming back again!!! Thanks again to Josh, he made the experience!!

We accidentally booked for the wrong day on Groupon, but Josh (the worker there) stayed later (until midnight) to allow us to do the room. Amazing service here. Escape room even better. Highly recommend.

Super helpful staff. Unfortunately, we really felt it was geared more towards kids than adults. Nice aesthetics, but too simple for adults if you're really into escape rooms. Definitely would recommend for families or kid groups, though!

We did the smuggler room. We got a groupon coupon. We were a group of 4. The room was interesting and fun. If you get stuck in a place for long you can always text for a hint using the tablet provided. We finished it 6 minutes before. The clues are well thought of and this is one of the fun escape room experience.

I took my Girl Scout Troop for the Archery Tag and Nerf Wars games.... they loved it! We are looking forward to going back for the rage room and escape room too!

We did two rooms today on a couple of Groupon codes. Normally you aren't able to do them on a holiday or a weekend but they were able to accommodate us because our friend who was with us is leaving California tomorrow to move to the Midwest and go back to school. It was our last opportunity to hang out, and we had a blast!!!We really appreciate the accommodation for our special circumstance.Thank you so much once again for everything.

Our first escape room experience, and it was amazing. The staff here is courteous and extremely helpful. The room itself still has me thinking about it several days later. Thanks to Andrew for being a great host. We will be back for more.

Fun creative puzzle. Didn't require any outside knowledge. Our team of 5 successfully stole the Mona Lisa!

Great experience!! This was my third escape room and i loved the theme and puzzles. Great for those who don't like the horror/creepy ones (like me!). My husband and i made it out with about 10 minutes to spare, but it was still a challenge!! Lots of fun, highly recommend!!

Such a fun experience. They have great deals and was able to use a coupon. The puzzles are challenging yet doable if you just have two people. I loved the theme and decor. The story was cool and the ending was REALLY good! Cabin Lodge was such a fun experience. They need to sound proof the walls because you can hear all the kids screaming from the birthday party section which was really annoying at times. It just takes you out of the experience. I think it's something they can change if they either have birthday procedures or soundproof walls better. The customer service was EXCELLENT and they were just total sweethearts. Overall, excellent experience and would go back and finish their other rooms

Fun puzzles. They had trouble with some of the puzzles not working correctly so they took care of us. We were allowed to come back and try another. Besure you get a confirmation when you book. They also have a room for parties There was an engagement party going on when we finished our room. Great fun.

I found this place through Groupon and although it was only for the week, Brad worked with my group to make it happen on the weekend. It was the first time for everyone in my group to do an escape room (12 of us) and it didn't disappoint. We were split into two groups and we had a blast! You're not locked into the room, as I was nervous we would be, but we were so busy looking for clues it didn't bother me after we started. I definitely recommend this place. Thanks Brad for helping me out and answering all my questions 😊

The best escape room I've been to so far. My friends and I went to the rise of Excalibur and it was amazing to be brain-teased by these puzzles. 5-stars!

The escape room was pretty good (you actually had to complete an objective rather than escape the room. They have a room with tables for parties and such. Overall a pretty good experience

It was fun and interesting, although the play room was small, it was only 1 hour, and it's $30 for each person.

They we're fun to work with! I felt like I was the escape room was a bit easy. But it was really fun working with them.

The guy at the front desk is very friendly. The process was easy, you sign the waiver and then you place your phone in the locker, and then you will listen to the prelude of the escape room you are going to solve. We took the lodge, escape room, and it was just me and my friend in the room. We needed some help and the guy gives 3 clues through out the period. We were so close to have solved it, but we did not. It was worth while to have spent time here 🙂

This was my first experience with escape rooms and with no expectations I had an amazingly fun time with my fellow escapees. The puzzles were engaging and very challenging. Led to some spirited interactions. Would love to try the other rooms.

My husband and I went for Valentine's day and were joined by 3 other couples. We had a blast and were able to work together to actually solve the puzzle! Loved it!

I went in with my office for our Christmas present and had such a blast. We arrived and introduced by our friendly host, Tayler , and she walked us through the whole procedure and communicated with us while inside to give us clues when asked. I'm embarassed to say that we asked more than once for a clue haha. It was a great experience overall!

My friends and I tried the secret of the master room recently with another group that booked the same time. We were three and they were 4 so we did the room with people we just met. It wasn’t bad and they did say we could step out if things weren’t working out. But luckily we all got along. The room itself was nice and I did enjoy the puzzles. It was pretty fun over all! My friends and I all had a blast and we escaped with 6 mins left! The experience was worth the price we paid and I would like to come back to do a different one. The only problems I had was that some of the necessary items and clues in the boxes and such were hard to see. It’s a little dim in the room and I couldnt read some clues. We had to use the light of the tablet they lent us to read them. I understand that atmosphere is part of the experience but it was a little frustrating to be unable to just read things. Also some items needed to go to the next puzzle were so small it’s easy to not grab it from the box. I had thought I searched everywhere in the boxes but it’s dim and I’m only trying to feel for things since I can’t see so something so small was easily missed. One thing I thought would have been nice is a paper or something saying you escaped the room. Like a congrats of some sort, but that is hard since some people may not escape in time. Also we played as the villains! Haha! So it was nice having a choice of which side to play. I’d recommend going here for an easy and fun escape room experience.The staff was nice and friendly even though it was a little late. They explained the rules very understandablly and we didn’t have issues with the room itself. Everything seemed to be there! And it was super fun. I had the excitement, the adrenaline rush and the feeling of successfully escaping the Secret of the Master Room!

Went with my church youth group and we enjoyed the escape room! It was challenging enough to make it fun, yet not impossible. The staff were very friendly and accommodating to the large group we had! Would go again!

Came about a month ago because our 13 year old had been begging to try. We were a party of 6 and did the Prison. It was awesome and we had about 6 minutes to spare. Our host was nice, we had a blast!!!

Definitely recommend! Came with our youth group crew, and would like to do another Paniq room activity in the future. Tried the prison break activity which was slightly challenging enough for many of us to get involved. I hope this gets big enough where more people can join a room and eventually expand to more floors (just a thought).

Fun escape room! Ive only been to a couple of different ones so I dont have much to compare but we went as a group of 10 and just got out before our timer was up. It was a little tricky to find the first clue but once we did, we were off and running. Overall all the puzzles and clues were real fun and my 12 and 13 year olds both had a blast. I really enjoyed learning a little about art as well! I would definitely recommend this place to a friend

We had a great time. Everything was well put together. We had an emergency and missed our appointment. I just figured we forfeited the appointment and the $, which was ok. But when our appointment came we got a phone call and they offered reschedule our session! That was truly WOW service and we were so very grateful! Our experience from beginning to end was unforgettable!

Such a mysterious, naturalistic, and well-staged experience! Long story short: If the presented scenario was a movie, I would watch it. 👏

This place was my first experience at an Escape Room activity. What a neat concept and a fun way to spend a couple hours! Brainy Actz was pretty good quality and all the tricks and locks and special effects worked well. You still have to be willing to play along to get the most out of it. Play with a group of 5 or 6 people to help not get stuck.

Took my kid and 7of his friends there for his 15th birthday. The place is well kept, friendly staff, a nice waiting area with great puzzles and games and comfortable couches. They could use a small vending area with water and other small snacks but that's just nit picking. The escape room itself was not too complicated but still a challenge. They have 3 escape rooms at that location, so you have choices. Overall, I was impressed with the place and would recommend it to everyone.
