02 / The story of this place
Make time for these
Running since around 2016, it's one of the earliest escape rooms in northern Michigan, and it's woman-owned and local. Its four private 60-minute rooms run from the newest, Quest of the Dragon Key, to The Eyeland, where only 42% of teams make it out. In between you'll find an abandoned circus and the Mad Hatter's never-ending un-birthday party. Prefer fresh air? Two outdoor clue hunts wind through downtown Petoskey: a bomb-disarm mission and a treasure hunt for loot said to be hidden by Great Lakes timber pirates.
- One of northern Michigan's earliest escape rooms
- Four private rooms; The Eyeland has a 42% escape rate
