Make time for these
Seven 60-minute rooms fill the second floor of the Masonic Center on Fulton Street. There's the spooky, Houdini-themed Haunted Hotel, where you help Bess reach her beloved Harry; the scary Mountain Top Murders with its blood-streaked cabin; and Poker Night at The President's Bunker, which fits up to 12 players racing to stop a nuclear launch. Every booking is private, and walk-ins are accepted during posted hours. The chain cites a Newsweek Readers' Choice award for Best Escape Rooms, and it takes a portable game called On The Run to groups of 50 or more.
- Seven private 60-minute rooms
- Up to 12 players in the President's Bunker
- Free parking in the attached garage

Walk-ins are welcome during posted hours, but booking online is the safer bet; call for times outside those hours. Teams of 2–12 can play, and players under 16 need an adult along. Park free in the attached two-level structure in the spots marked for Masonic Center guests.
