My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed our visit here, where we had a blast solving the dark arts puzzle box while sipping on some beverages. As escape room enthusiasts, we were thrilled to encounter a unique table-based puzzle box. The motifs in the decor were interesting and specially designed with puzzle solvers in mind (wink wink!). Our experience was further enhanced by our wonderful server, Pik. Her lively personality, playfulness, and dedication to maintaining an exciting atmosphere were top-notch (she really turned the drama up to 11 as requested!). Even though it's a lengthy two-hour drive from home, we are certain to make a return visit. We were absolutely charmed by the place.

We had an incredible time piecing together the puzzle box over some refreshing cocktails. Pik, our host for the evening, was both delightful and insightful, guiding us through the whole experience splendidly. The cocktails were thrilling and brilliantly crafted, without compromising on taste. The entirety of the atmosphere was top-notch and I'm definitely looking forward to another visit.

Remember the underwater dweller in the pineapple house, SpongeBob SquarePants? Now that you're all ears, let us talk about an extraordinary experience. Each staff member was hyper-observant and focused on service. The beastly brainteaser box was fantastic and instinctive enough to navigate without much assistance. The beverages were exceptional and well-considered. I strongly suggest you delve into all the amenities this establishment provides. It's a bar that unquestionably scores a natural 20!

We had an absolute blast at this venue! As soon as you step inside, you're engulfed in a hair-raising, mystical ambiance. The servers and bartending staff maintain their mysterious personas, assisting and providing clues to resolve the riddles. The cocktails are simply delightful and their presentation is top-notch. We strongly suggest trying the challenge box experience - it's tricky enough to offer an engaging riddle without descending into bewilderment or irritation. It was a thoroughly enjoyable experience for us.

Thoroughly enjoyed myself! Our attendant, Drew, was truly spectacular, maintaining his role throughout. Unlike my companions, I choose not to consume alcohol. Thankfully, they provide a wide range of alcohol-free cocktails. I selected the Mimic, and it was absolutely delectable.
