02 / The story of this place

Make time for these

Four rooms run 60, 75 or 90 minutes, and the place bills itself as the home of Michigan's 90-minute escape rooms. Elmsmoor drops you into a cursed village whose people were twisted into restless spirits by a ritual gone wrong, and in Lincoln Park Prison you have to get out before Warden Beech's final lockdown. The two stories connect: Dr. Tobin's secretive office reveals she funded the prison's expansion. In the fourth, agents raid the Magee crime family's hideout, which happens to be their mom's house. The site calls the venue multi-award-winning and shows a Best of Morty 2024 badge.

  • Games up to 90 minutes long
