What We Love
Brainy Escapes With a Time Crunch
Each escape room is like stepping into a movie set—with just 60 minutes to decode puzzles, find keys, and beat the clock. From heists to haunted scenarios, the themes are immersive, clever, and packed with surprise twists that’ll have you shouting “Aha!” one moment and “Hurry up!” the next.
Axe Throwing With a Side of Sass
Grab a lane, get a quick how-to, and let the axes fly. There’s something wildly satisfying about that “thunk” when you hit the bullseye. And with friendly competition and hilarious team games, it’s way more engaging than your average bar outing.
Perfect Group Vibes
This spot was made for birthdays, team outings, bachelor parties, or just Tuesday night fun. The staff gets into it with you—offering tips, cheering you on, and snapping victory pics when you finally escape (or triumphantly stick your first axe).
Unique Themed Rooms
You’re not just solving puzzles—you’re defusing bombs in a spy bunker, exploring a magician’s lair, or escaping a creepy cabin in the woods. The storytelling is rich, and the props and tech help immerse you in a whole new world.
Snacks, Drinks, and Chill Zones
Between games, relax in the lounge with snacks, soft drinks, or a quick chat with the staff. It’s a cozy, low-pressure space to recharge before jumping back into action.
Atmosphere & Setting
From the outside, it may look like a typical warehouse—but step inside, and the vibe flips completely. Neon signs glow behind the front counter, energetic music pulses from the axe lanes, and the rooms are decked out with carefully crafted props and mood lighting that make each scenario pop. You’ll move from dark, mysterious corridors to bright, wood-paneled axe pits with the flip of a door—like shifting between two thrilling worlds in one visit.
Value (Is It Worth It?)
Absolutely. Room experiences start around $30 per person, and axe throwing ranges from $20–$25 depending on time. You’ll spend about 1–2 hours total (or more if you double up). For the amount of teamwork, laughter, and memorable moments packed into that time, it’s a great bang for your buck. Best suited for ages 12+, it’s ideal for couples, friend groups, corporate teams, and anyone who likes to do rather than watch.
Other Considerations
Free parking is available out front, and everything’s indoor—so rain or shine, it’s a solid plan. Be sure to book your room or axe lane online ahead of time, especially on weekends. Escape rooms are private bookings only, so no awkward stranger pairings. And yes—closed-toe shoes are a must for axe throwing (flip-flop fans, be warned). While there’s no food service, plenty of nearby restaurants make it easy to grab a bite after the action.
Looking to shake up your usual plans with something clever, competitive, and downright fun? Escape Room Mentor & Axe Throwing delivers the kind of high-energy, story-driven experience that sticks with you long after you’ve thrown your last axe or cracked your final clue.
