A Sweet and Thrilling Family Adventure!

We had an absolute blast at The Candy Cottage escape room! It was the perfect family outing – heaps of fun, clever puzzles, and just the right mix of spooky and sweet. The story was super engaging from the start setting the scene for an unforgettable adventure. Everyone – from the kids to the adults – got involved, and we loved working together to beat the clock before the witch returned! Highly recommend for families looking for a fun and immersive experience. We’re still talking about it days later!

Delightful Escape room

This escape room was fun and had some good challenges for our group of three. We really enjoyed some of the mechanics of the room and everything was set up well and worked smoothly.
