  Very fun and unique experience. Great for special occasion with family/friends or for a team building activity. Had never gotten blasted by paint before, which made it very memorable. I would recommend wearing pants if possible though. I got a bit of rug burn on my knee from crawling on the ground during the laser obstacle.

  This place was amazing. Bring atleast 6 people cause it's hard to remember everything with two people. The lasers are exhausting to anyone thick and over 30 but it was still pretty fun. The The Bomb made my sons birthday celebration amazing. Ps. Bring water and asthma pump if necessary!!!

  Came here for my birthday and it was amazing service and Great experience! Our party consisted of an 8 year old child plus multiple adults. The rooms were challenging but not excessively to be too frustrating 🤯Great balance... We'll definitely be coming back to try out all the different rooms.💖🎉🎂

  Edit: While the overall experience was new and exciting, there is definitely room for improvement. We were graciously accommodated, so thank you, Quan. This review is based on our experience after receiving our video footage, compared to the original review, which was written upon arrival. Issue 1 - We wanted the 6 wings with fries, but were told that they were out of fries. We asked if we could get extra wings to make up for the lack of fries. We were told they would have to ask their manager; a few minutes later, we were told they would accommodate us with extra wings. (Note: We were told the cook or kitchen would be closing; this was around 9:40 PM.) We chose 2 orders of lemon pepper wings. When we completed all the rooms, we received 1 extra wing for a total of 7 wings apiece. The 7 wings weren't an issue, but they could have communicated more clearly about the extra wing per person, which cost us $45, even though their menu stated that 6 wings and fries were $15. (I am aware we could have also clarified how many extra wings we would get.) Issue 2 - Room 2 (Low Battery) was hot; there was no A/C. On top of that, the instructions said there would be columns on the wall, but there were none. We followed the instructions, but could not move the batteries in the sequence they instructed. We ended up exiting the room with about 6 minutes left and waiting in the hallway, which was cooler. Issue 3 - The splatter room jump suits do not completely protect you from getting wet. After you complete it, you walk to the adjacent room, get hosed down, then take off the suits and place them in a big plastic bag. Our shirts, shorts, shoes, and teammates' socks were wet, despite our careful donning of the jumpsuits. The splatter room was cool, but the bulbs they give you to manipulate the blue and pink pads on the screen are not ergonomically friendly. I expected buttons to control the pads, but I had to squeeze them instead, and there were no clear instructions on how to do so, which was confusing. We had 3 minutes and 50 seconds to complete the challenge. I think after about a minute, my wrists were BARKING at me; it was extremely painful. There is no alternative (that was provided to me) for anyone with an invisible disability. I do not know what they have in place to follow the Americans with Disabilities Act. These issues compounded together made for a not-so-great lasting impression. They should have sent a notice stating that the A/C was not operational, and the rooms with technical issues should have been closed. I am asking that upper management consider these issues. The staff was great and did what they could to accommodate, and they empathized with us, but again, upper management should take immediate action to address these hazardous concerns properly! Original: Quan was amazing! He is definitely a breath of fresh air when you walk in! The vibe was lit, especially after Juneteenth. The entire staff was friendly. The environment was safe, fun, and full of laughter. We will definitely be coming back. Thank you to the entire team that worked this night.

  I got invited to try this and went with a few of my friends. Right as you walk in there is a check in area and then the bar and food areas is right behind it. They offer a decent list of drinks and they do have slushie machines with speciality flavors. We tried the wings, fries, dips and brownies and everything was delicious. We did the Arcade area which is also in the front- the indoor rooms are in another area. This takes you through several different fun games that you can play in a box like area with your friends and everything is given identifying wristbands so the game knows who is who. Wear comfy shoes because you will be running around during these games and since you are likely to get slashed with paint if slimed at the end then also wear comfy clothes that you may not mind getting a little paint on. All of the staff were great and pleasant. Very helpful in explaining the games of anyone was confused or anything like that. The only downfall is that maybe the AC was broken in the main area because it was hot inside and with running around- it made us even hotter.
