I honestly went into this experience not expecting much, maybe I was a bit cynical. But it ended up being a ton of fun, we got right into it immediately and it was such a great experience. We solved the room with 11 seconds to spare! Definitely go with a group, I highly recommend.

What a great time! We did the Left At Home room and it was a blast. The clues were just enough to keep us going. The puzzles were super clever and the staff were awesome as well. We will be back! Excited to try the ninties escape room next!

Very well put together Escape Room, and a great time overall. Charlie and the rest of the staff were very friendly from the beginning, and were fun to talk to when introducing the room, and afterwords. Overall a great experience and we will be back

The clues were definitely use/broken and misguiding. Clues should lead you from one to the other. Not all sporadic. In the area we had there were technically 3 rooms, but it only seems you had access to two. Also some props looked to be actual electrical boxes not meant as part of the room, but really are. Also, some clues/objects referenced things in another room making it frustrating.I like logical puzzles, not throw you in and hope YOU figure it all out.... Merp

Charlie was a great gamemaster. Helped us just enough to figure some tough clues. We will definitely go back to try the other rooms.

The Quandary is a really neat local escape room! The Left at Home room has a cool design and plenty of unique puzzles. My sister and I have done many escape rooms and thoroughly enjoyed this one. Our game master Ben was very helpful and awesome. Definitely check this place out!

We absolutely LOVED our experience at The Quandry!!! We did the Lab of the Lost escape room. The staff were welcoming and the puzzles were a great balance between challanging and achievable. We were really pulled into the experience/theme. Highly suggest.

So much fun!!! Rhett was our helper. He was amazing —- gave clues just when we needed them. Fun times — went to the 90s room. We escaped with 1 sec to spare. There were 6 of us. Great way to hang w friends/family.

The guy at the front desk was 100% hospitable and accommodating. We escaped the At-Home-Alone room. It was cleverly designed and our group had a blast. We will definitely be coming back.

A huge shoutout to Charlie at the Quandry last night for running a great Escape the 90s room for us. He also had a perfect food recommendation.

I have done several escape rooms in Arizona, Colorado, and Chicago, and The Quandarys Escape the 90s room is by far one of the most creative and entertaining Ive done. Aside from the totally rad 90s nostalgia, the puzzles themselves were clever and engaging. This isnt your standard franchised escape room - its independently owned, and you can tell that the owner is passionate about making the rooms fun and unique. I cant wait to come back and try the dinosaur themed room once its ready!

Could have been good, but a few of their devices malfunctioned on us. One of the numbers on the phone stuck, and one of the hosts had to come in and help. The other malfunctioninf device was tried many times with out it working. At the end of the game, with not having escaped, we asked the host about it. He tried it and faiked too. Said it malfunctioned. If we would have had someone notice this and helped/fixed it, we would have escaped. That was what was most frustrating.

We did the left at home room. Wow! So nostalgic! This was my first time doing an escape room. I felt it was challenging but fun. We made it out with a few seconds over. (I still count it.) Now Im ready to go again.

We came for my sister’s bachelorette party & had the best time! We did the 90’s themed room (and escaped with 1 minute to spare!) & were so impressed with how the rooms were themed! It made this 90’s girl super happy & it brought back fun childhood memories! I’ll definitely be bringing people back for more fun!

This was a last minute idea to do and honestly a pretty good one too. First time doing an escape room. It was a blast!

We did the Left at home escape room with our two teenage daughters and had a lot of fun. Good for the brain and working together. We look forward to attempting the 90s theme.

The escape room was ok, but had a few problems. There were 2 devices that didnt work correctly and we didnt seem to have anyone watching our progress to help out with these. It caused our group a number of wasted minutes and it was not a very enjoyable experience. Out of the 5-6 escape rooms Ive done, this was the least well executed and most disappointing experience.

What a really fun time for the entire family! Great Themed room with really clever puzzles to solve. Awesome ending when the last puzzle was solved! Everyone would enjoy this as a fun day or night activity!

This was my third Escape Room experience and perhaps my favorite thus far. My friends and I (6 people in total) did the Escape the 90s theme. I enjoyed having different stages and had so much fun with the theme! The owner happened to be working and he was friendly and very chill!

Very dynamic escape room. Involving more communication with the group than other ones I’ve done! Worth it :)

I think they could improve their customer service. The girl I spoke to on the phone was not very friendly. My sister and I both spoke with her and agreed she sounded annoyed by our call. We also were put in a room with 5 young girls which made the experience almost unbearable. There has to be a way to notify adult guests if they are going to be locked in a room full of children.

Went there with couple friends for my girlfriends birthday. Instead of escaping, you need to put traps on certain locations, and the home alone theme was very creative!
