02 / The story of this place
Make time for these
Heroes and Villains are mirror images: in one you're superheroes, in the other bad guys, both racing for a crystal from an incoming comet. Pharoah's Revenge brings an Egyptian tomb's curse with special lighting effects, Special Agent Cold War sends you to 1950 to unmask a double agent, and Tin Star Saloon has you hunting a Wild West bar's secret sarsaparilla recipe. The Haunt is a dark, task-based horror adventure with live 'entities' for ages 16 and up, and Ye Olde Game Show isn't an escape room at all but a 75–90-minute live game show for 6 to 16 players. Two portable games, The Christmas Heist and The Pirate's Code, can be played on site or rented for parties.
- Heroes and Villains: two mirror-image rooms
- The Haunt: live-actor horror for ages 16+
- A medieval live game show for up to 16
