They have different themed rooms including The Prophecy, The Imperial Palace, Spaceship Mysteries, Castle Secrets, and Time Warp – our personal favorite being The Imperial Palace.
How it works is you have to solve a sequence of logic puzzles and unlock access to items by sniffing out clues and interacting with the room in a specific way. The ultimate goal is to open the final door for your escape within 45 minutes.
