"We have been to the escape room several times for different experiences. It was great! We love coming here every year to see the different rooms. Will visit again!"

"We had SO MUCH fun here! Can't wait to go back for the other escape room. Definitely recommend."

"While spending a week of vacation in Eagle River, my friend and I decided to take our teenaged sons to try to beat an escape room. The choices were Candyshop and Taxidermy, the boys chose Taxidermy. We arrived early and was immediately led back for a short informational video before going to the escape room. Decor was as expected for the experience we chose and we had an hour to get figure it out. Needless to say, we figured out about 33% before time was up. We all loved that it was not easy to figure out. The game master explained the puzzles we didn't solve, which gave us all an ah-ha moment. We look forward to checking out the themese next Sept when we return to Eagle River again."

"I went with my wife and 3 children, this was our second escape room together up north and we had really enjoyed our first experience. We chose Grandpa's Candy Store escape room. When we arrived, we were shown to a room to watch a video with instructions, the initial impression was it was a kids classroom. Our expectation was that this was a well established escape room and we thought the room would be great. Entering the room, it felt like a kids nursery with most of the props /decorations being cheap and ugly. Colorful plastic bins with hand written words signifying candy ingredients etc... could have been so much better ambience. There were some really good puzzles, we were stumped for a while, but some of the puzzles were well worn and needed replacement or updating. What made it an especially poor experience was that although we did request 2 hints during the game, the second hint wasn't relevant to getting further. Then shortly after this, the gamemaster started sending us hints we didn't ask for. Probably about 4 to 5 of them, and we weren't given time to figure it out ourselves. We were finally on the last clue and were working on entering the last combination when he sent that we had completed the room, even though we hadn't gotten the code right. That all took away the enjoyment of completing the room yourself or just completing it. Additionally, there is usually the after time where your picture is taken, talk about how you did etc... we were brought straight to the door. We were the only ones there and it felt like the employee just wanted to get us out so he could lock up and leave. It was meant to be a fun family time but we ended up leaving stressed and disappointed."

"I am an avid escape room fan and this was such a fun experience. I completed the Taxidermy room with 4 of us total and we had a lot of fun. The location is wonderful, the staff was fabulous and the room was awesome! We got out but the puzzles were difficult and fun, it was a wonderful experience and I cannot recommend it enough."
