Review №1

A group of 5 of us did two of their escape rooms - Titanic and Holy Grail. Both rooms were neat in regard to the décor but both were linear, so it didnt work very well with 5 players. Id recommend 3 at the most. The gamemasters were VERY uptight about not breaking anything. This put a damper on the experience because we felt like we couldnt touch anything or interact with much because we were afraid of upsetting the game masters. Neither gm seemed very happy to be there to facilitate our game. It was like we were an inconvenience to them.For the individual rooms..The Titanic room was not good. I think many elements were broken and unusable which made the experience shorter. I was always confused about what we were supposed to be doing because there was nothing leading us to do one thing or another, and we didnt have any idea what we needed to do to open something because it was all triggered by something else. There was only the lock to get out and one 3 digit code.The Holy Grail room was quite a lot better, however like others have said, there were worn out items/locks that were time sucks. We had the correct answer and trying to put in the code to a lock but it was so finicky and wouldnt open correctly. In that instance, the game master should have stopped the clock and waited until we got it open to restart. We all just stood around while one person fiddled with the lock. Although, what made it better was some cool elements I havent seen in other rooms before.Overall, I would not return to this location to do another room, but the Holy Grail room might be worth doing because of the unique elements.

Love, love, love!! Our family loves Escape Rooms and enjoy the variety. What a amazing surprise when we pulled up and it was in this beautiful historic home!! The facilitator was super nice and helpful. We really enjoyed ourselves!!

We played the holy grail and didnt make it. Some of the pieces were broken which made it difficult to get more than half way done with the puzzle. Additionally, we had to repeat ourselves multiple times for the gamemaster to give us the clue or acknowledge that we were saying the puzzle was broken. Wasted a solid 10 minutes between broken puzzles and non responsive game master, which is frustrating in a game where every second counts. I would go back, but maybe try the Titanic instead.

Neat room but some key components broke and woreout, gamemaster didnt respond regarding issues costing valuable time.

Group of High School friends got together to try one of these Escape Rooms, and I cannot rave enough about how much fun it was! We did the Holy Grail room and it was like being in the DaVinci Code movie. Hunting for clues, solving puzzles, trying to beat the clock. I will be back to try others! Plus, the location couldn’t be cooler. It’s held in the ancestral home of the Studebaker’s- all old furniture, paintings and decorations. Looks like a castle. Great bar upstairs while you wait for your room and we stayed for dinner which was amazing.

Enjoyed the Studebaker Scandal escape room with a group on Friday, July 19. It was very difficult but we got a couple of tips from the game master and we thought the room was exceptionally interesting (lots of antiques, so had to be careful). I would recommend this room!

A lot of fun. Not too hard, requires some thinking, and a ton of communication. With the right group of people (not too many) its a good night out.

Ive done escape rooms at 2 other locations in South Bend. This place had the best escape room no question.We did the search for the Holy Grail and it was amazing. Very enjoyable experience with all aspects well thought out. Cant wait to do another room!

I did the Studebaker Scandal escape room with my family and had a lot of fun. If you like puzzles its a great activity to do with friends or relatives. This was my second escape room and we managed to get out.
