Staff and Game Masters

Pros:

• "Robyn was friendly, helpful, and great."
• "ROBYN IS THE PERFECT PUZZLE MASTER!"
• "Shout out to Hector for helping us along the way and being an amazing host!"

Cons:

• "Horrible horrible horrible. Commuted all the way from Long Island to complete a room with our friends. We ran a few minutes late due to an accident and we’re told we would still be able to join into the room once we got there. Once we got up to the suite they persistently told by a blonde women we were not allowed to enter since they had made it to a certain point in the room - SO WHY TELL US WE COULD? Made no accommodation for us despite having a party of 6. Definitely not worth the trip."
• "Our game master was helpful with hints but we won't be coming back to this escape room."
• "Honestly did not have a good experience because of the game guide we had."
• "There was also several times where I asked for a hint, and the moderator would not be responsive."
• "We arrived 2 minutes late and were declined entrance to the room, what a joke. The man working at the desk was rude and did not help us in any way with our situation."
• "The room was good, but the lady at the front desk was annoying. She gave such bad attitude because some of us were tipsy."
• "The reason why I give a 2 star rating is specifically for the employee who was dealing with us. Very sarcastic. Very rude. Very much just a miserable personality."
