Lots of fun!
As first timers, we really enjoyed this and will be back! We did the virtual reality escape rooms and with 3 of us it was quite a team building exercise 🤣 Staff member was awesome too, gave a few hints about things we didn't know we could do, to help us along the way. We'll definitely be back
