    This was my second time doing this room and I appreciate it just as much now as I did the first time. The puzzles are so well thought out and fun. It was a terrific team building exercise for my work colleagues and I can't wait until the new room is launched soon. Keep constructing such fun puzzles, Todd!

    We recently visited the place from Southern California, with Skylar being our guide. Thank you for making our visit fun and guiding us through the journey.

    My family and I did the 20,000 leagues under the sea themed escape room and it was a blast. A decent skill level with themed clues and puzzles, it took us down to the wire to solve it. Our game master was also excellent, they did a great job getting us amped up for the escape room and was very attentive when we needed a clue. I definitely recommend this escape room!

    This was our fist escape room. Challenging and fun! We finished with only 3 minutes remaining. Our group loved it!

    The room at Novel Escape was amazing! Went to celebrate my birthday, and it was a perfect end to the day. We have done close to 50 escape rooms, and this is definitely one of the most entertaining ones we have completed! There were a lot of surprises, and unique puzzles to solve. Jonathan was an amazing game master, and even sent me a note during our time in the room which made the experience even more special.

    This was our first ever escape room experience and we had so much fun! Kerrin was the game master, she was very helpful and in great character, she made us feel very comfortable for our first experience. We were able to escape with one minute left despite the moderate-difficult puzzles. It is helpful that you can ask for hints if needed. The best part was that we were able to do the room with our party only and didn't have to work with strangers. We will definitely do another escape room in the future!

    Puzzle games and escape rooms to do from our couch helped us get through the pandemic, and when we went to the 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea escape room, we were absolutely DELIGHTED. The puzzles had a great balance of problem solving and teamwork, and the story beats were exciting and surprising!!! Thanks to our GM Jonathan, who made us feel totally secure in the room with well timed hints as needed. We enjoyed it so much we went out to eat squid after!!! We will definitely be back for the next adventure chapters!

    This place has absolutely earned their 5-star rating! Being novel-themed is so creative! The room itself (20,000 Leagues Under the Sea) was incredibly well-built, expertly organized, and thoroughly engaging. There were an astounding number of different objects, environments, and other clues that all contributed to solving the various puzzles and escaping the room. It genuinely felt like every single aspect of the room played into the theme and the progression of our journey. The different ways clues were used and how each puzzle related to the next felt stunningly seamless. Our group has already agreed to come back together for every new room the masterminds behind Novel Escape are able to come up with. We haven’t been able to stop talking about our adventure and it has been an experience that we will remember and reminisce on for a long time to come! Thank you!

    This was hands down one of the best escape rooms we have done. We have done well over 20, we are totally addicted to escape rooms! The attention to detail was too notch! The puzzles were challenging and we did need some hints along the way, but our game master was super sweet and helped anytime we asked. Lots of fun surprises in the room and the hints come in a unique way that we have never seen before! We will for sure come back for the Alice in Wonderland and Sherlock Holmes rooms when they are complete. The price point is excellent and they don’t make you buy extra spots to keep it a private experience! Great job Novel Escape, we had a blast!
