02 / The story of this place

Make time for these

It opened in 2025 on the lower level of the Masonic Square Mall, with a check-in window instead of a lobby. Of its two private rooms, Yooper Mineshaft is the U.P.-themed one: you descend into Pit 9, the cursed, long-sealed deepest level of the Blackrock Mine, searching for the legendary golden cavern. In Murder at the Manor, Lord Blackwood turns up dead at his own birthday party, and you have 12 suspects and one hour. Teams pick Adventure Mode (staff give hints, family-friendly) or Challenge Mode (hints only on request, each costing two minutes, leaderboard eligible). Days to Save discount days and a public vote on the next room theme keep locals coming back.

  • A cursed mine shaft with a U.P. twist
  • Adventure or Challenge Mode, with a leaderboard
