    A fun family activity!
    Jeff was welcoming and friendly, and explained everything very clearly. I picked the easiest of the four available escape rooms, as we had members of our party who had never done one before. Nevertheless, it was challenging enough that we felt accomlished when we eventually escaped the room! We will certainly be going back to try the other rooms!

    Amazing, best way to celebrate my birthday!
    We had so much fun! It was the perfect level of difficulty to make it challenging and to make us all think outside the box. Brandon, the host, was very nice, helpful and thorough on explaining the instructions. We all want to go back and experience the other 3 rooms they offer.

    Birthday blast at Exit Strategy!
    Easy to book online, reasonable price! It was for a birthday activity for my teen daughter and her friends. They picked the Untouchables room and had so much fun. The attendant was nice and explained the activity well. They had a good time!

    First experience at an Escape room
    I went there with 4 teenagers (16 and 17) and we all had a blast! It was our first escape room so we chose a not too difficult room (level 3.5/5) : Through the looking glass! We were able to finish the “quest” (I.e. finding 7 tokens and a stop watch) with only 37s to spare!! You get 3 free clues if you get stuck… Some of the clues were “easy”, others needed a little more thought! A lot of fun trying to open all the boxes (some needed keys, some needed digital codes, some needed numerical or alphabetical codes), decoding the cypher etc. Staff was really friendly and explained what we were getting ourselves into!! Will definitely try the other “harder” rooms!!

    Fun time, something different and a lot of laughs.
    I planned this for my daughter’s 16th birthday and she and 6 girls did the Blizzard room. They said they had a great time and a lot of laughs. I thought it was something different and fun for their age group.now they want to try another room.

    Great experience and tons of fun!
    We had a great time! From the get go Brandon was super helpful in scheduling our large group. We had a few people from our group arrive a little late and they were chill about it which I was very grateful for. The rooms were a lot of fun! The puzzles ranged from very straight forward and simplistic to quite detailed and requiring close attention. We did two rooms (Through the Looking Glass and The Cursed Treasure) and one of our groups was successful and the other wasn't but every single person says they loved it. We'll definitely be back to try the other rooms!

    The Untouchables Room--the perfect mix of challenging and fun!
    The Untouchables room was the perfect mix of challenging and fun! The room was set up beautifully, transporting us back to the days of Prohibition. The puzzles were not all that easy, and we definitely had to work together. I highly recommend this option! We plan to try out the other rooms in the future.

We have played other exit games and “the Untouchables” is one of the best! We will definitely come back and try the rest of the escape/exit game rooms! If you have never tried an escape room, I recommend doing the easiest level available and do it with 4 to 6 people. The more people you have the more chance you have of solving it. Everyone thinks a little differently. You may figure out what one clue means and another person looks at things differently and will figure out the next clue!

These rooms are so much fun! The game host does a great job helping everyone have an enjoyable time. I appreciate how he points out what each group member did well to contribute to solving the puzzles. Everything has always been positive (even when we weren't successful escaping one of the rooms). Super easy to schedule and the employees are great to work with!

Our group ranged from 8 years old to adult (with teenagers sprinkled in) and everyone enjoyed it.

Took a group of young Girl Scouts to the Alice in Wonderland room. We had a excellent time! Mr. Brandon was very helpful, did a great job of explaining the details to an excited group that was ready to just get started. The room is visually engaging - the girls had a great time exploring and thinking their way through the process. Personally, I've been to Exit Strategy before for a different room (also great!), but this is a good choice for younger folks. The length of time is just right, not so long that their excitement waned. I wouldn't recommend for kids under 8 years old or so - familiarity with the story of Alice is helpful, but not required. A little adult guidance can help fill that gap. We had 10 total in our group, mostly kids, which was about as much as the room could comfortably fit. Can't wait to try the Elliot Ness room!, but maybe not with the Girl Scouts...

We had another awesome experience! Blizzard is our third Escape Room from this location. Every room has offered a variety of unique puzzles and clues. This location is still our favorite out of over 15 other visits to Escape Rooms across the country. The Mafia room is still one if our favorites as well. It’s been a family favorite for our teenager and our ten year old as well as their friends. Jeff and Brandon have also delivered top notch customer service. We highly recommend this venue for escape rooms!

Amazing time, as always! This was our 3rd visit and we use the escape rooms as a team building exercise for our students. We did the new "Blizzard" experience. So much fun! And the technology… not just your regular keys and pad locks. You put an item in a certain place, and a door or box opens on the other side of the room. It’s like the Goonies movie, all in one room! Amazing rooms AND amazing staff!!!

Had a great time doing the Untouchables room. We were able to complete the room with about 2 min. left. We've done escape rooms before and found the room a little challenging but not too bad. It was really well done and the game host was excellent. After we were done he spent a lot of time talking to us about how we did and how they created the room.

Would highly recommend if you are in the area. We were staying at the Rocky Gap campground and came over on a really hot summer day. It was nice to be inside and cool!

Our kids ages 8-14 enjoyed the Through the Looking Glass escape room a lot! They had fun figuring out the clues and finding the tokens. Our 8 year old did leave early and hung out with Brandon at the orientation room. He watched the other kids through the screen and was well looked after by Brandon. All in all a great experience! The kids plan to go back again

Had a great time and almost finished one of the hardest rooms. Our group had a blast and i have no doubt that we will be back in another month or so. Jeff did a great job giving us clues and leading us through the game.

I took my employees and we had a wonderful time. Lots of laughs the whole way through it. Cant wait to do another one. I hope they keep coming up with new ideas but this one was my favorite. Second time I have been there. I can say it does make you think but the guy working there was very friendly and shared a little pointers which helped. We almost did it. Hope to do it again soon

Had so much fun doing Thru the Looking Glass at Exit Strategy. The three of us found it challenging and inventive, Got stumped on a couple clues, and had to ask for a help. In the end we were working on the last lock when our time ran out. Plan on going back and doing the other rooms. Location was easy to find, with parking just across the street. Our host was very friendly and helpful and the Escape Room was well organized and clean.
