My friends and I went in to do the Zodiac Killer room and had such a great time, the game master Hannah was so fantastic and made it such a fun time that we had to come back the next day! We then did the Other side room with Nat and once again had such a great time, she was an amazing game master! Can’t recommend the escape rooms enough.
