Did the room "Welcome to the Machine" and had a great time! David and Gabrielle were awesome and definitely contributed to the experience. The only thing I will add is that it has color focused puzzles, so just make sure the whole group is not colorblind as I am and I could not contribute to 1 or 2 of the many puzzles. If I lived locally I would come back and make sure to do every room!

Our group of 9 has an amazing experience. The building that it's in looks small, but then you walk upstairs and you realize the entire upstairs of that building is theirs. You're greeted with a very nice entrance, looks VERY upkept and were greeted to a very nice lady named Tara at the front desk to prepare us for our Escape Room. The one we picked was the Sins of Dr. Faustas. Then we had a guide named Robby (very nice guy) and he helped us get to our room and tell us how everything operated. When we got to the room, we were flabbergasted. The technology they used, the room, and story, everything felt emersive. And how we got hints or help was through an old TV that gave us clues, so there was no non-emersive talking through speakers or walkie talkies. The room puzzles where great, there were no red herrings, and a lot of fun (don't want to give spoilers). So if you are looking for some fun, please check this place out, whether you are visiting or live there.

This place is a real hidden gem! It is privately owned, well maintained, and very challenging but not impossible. It is obvious that a lot of thought and technology goes into the design of the rooms, all created by the owners. My family took me there for a birthday surprise and I found it to be very a lot of fun. I would recommend Captivating Worlds to all puzzle enthusiasts.

My husband and I did the Deep Underground. Extremely well made room! Loved each and every puzzle and detail! Will be back for more! David was an amazing Game Master and we enjoyed discussing the room with him afterwards! And his wife (sorry the name slipped me at the moment) was sweet and greeted us and made us feel extremely welcome to their escape rooms! 10/10

Really fun escape room(s). We have been to many escape rooms and these are some of the best we have done. I loved the immersive experience and how well they blend technology into the puzzles. Highly recommend!
