This place needs some improvements. I feel bad leaving a not so great review because most of the staff were the most welcoming people but.... anyway I've done about 8 different escape rooms and decided to do this one because it has something different (a maze to escape instead of a room) so I was intrigued. obe loved every escape room I've done until this one. These were our issues:

1) they started us nearly half an hour late and we had plans afterwards that were thrown askew.

2) Some of the paths in the maze were really dark so we were constantly tripping on rocks and tree roots.

3) the walkie talkies had super short range so we kept getting a lot of static.

4) poor monitoring on radios and we didn't get a reply about 1/3 of the time.

5) lady on radio kept repeating same clues which got us no where so it got frustrated, not to mention she sounded irritated with us by the end like we were bugging her.

6) some of the clues were either super super vague or malfunctioning which ate up a lot of our time (I.E. rusty difficult lock, lock box that didn't need a key but we spent forever looking for a key because it was stuck closed).

7) there was really no storyline so we were just running around looking dumb searching for clues that didn't make sense (I.e. A gambling clue then these Native American symbols clues)

In all fairness, this place was a lot cheaper than other escape rooms which I was excited about before but now I see why. If I were you I'd drop a little extra cash to find a good escape place because this one was disappointing.

I took my son and his friends here for his birthday yesterday during the day. We were all very disappointed. The place is completely unorganized and the escape room was unreasonably difficult. We made it to the second room. My son has been looking forward to this for weeks and was very upset. Trying to leave was a nightmare. One of the exits was blocked by a trailer. I think trying to escape to find the road was more entertaining than the actual escape room. Im not normally one to complain, but this was a terrible experience and I didn't feel like the staff cared if he had fun or not.

We just did the bunker and had a fabulous time! The set is very well done and Evan was great when we asked for clues. This farm is the property where parts of Stranger Things season 2 was filmed, the Merrill’s farm scenes and Hopper’s cabin in the woods. This one is challenging and has only a 20% success rate so I would not recommend it for escape room beginners. It is not air conditioned or heated so make sure you dress appropriately. It was very cold because the bunker is partially underground. It’s also very dark inside and we were allowed to keep our cell phones to use as flashlights. You may want to bring your own flashlights for each person in your group. Also, we had 6 people and Were pretty crowded in the rooms. I would not book more than that even though they say it accommodates up to 10. That would have been too many people.

The Bunker is the toughest escape room, I've done we had a family from Virginia, and everyone really had to work together to get out !! Bring your phone for a flashlight we made it on time !!! You will love it !!!

This was our first time doing an escape room. The bunker was cool and we almost made it out. The person who worked there was very helpful but not too helpful. They had lots of things you could do beside the bunker. Their was stuff for young kids and old like sling shot pumpkins, hayrides and a corn maze.
