Enter the Room

I'm surprised by the lower number of reviews and wish more people would check this out. You have to reserve and can't just show up, but it's well with the extra effort to plan ahead. We are an experienced escape room family with about 100 rooms who had a blast in 999 Strange Place. The eerie nature of the old school building greatly added to the ambience and charm from the moment we pulled up to the wrought iron gate. The room's house setting (with multiple rooms) constructed inside a basement classroom was big enough for our family of 5 but would be tight if you had more than 6 or 7. The setting, decor, and puzzles were all planned well, and we loved the background music that definitely increased the creep factor (although not a scare factor, so still great for younger kids). The puzzles were mostly one- or two-step solutions and relied heavily on padlocks, but they were definitely imaginative and never felt simple. It didn't bother us for the game, but two recommendations for the owner would be to have a timer available in the room and to use radios or some other hint system that doesn't take players out of the immersion.

This was amazing. We have been to a lot of escape rooms and this one might take the cake. In the basement of the old school is the perfect setting. The staff was super friendly and gave us the perfect clues to help us without solving it for us. We will definitely be back. Highly recommended.

I went to “Enter the Room” recently and we had a splendid time, in large part thanks to one of the owners. She really added to the fun with her friendly nature and artistic passion for escape rooms. She even was nice enough to let us stay a little longer to try to figure out how to escape.

This was such a fun experience for me and my boyfriend! It was a great experience for such a great price. I love how they use the only midland school it makes the whole thing have a different feel, and they let us walk around the school afterwards. The staff was so friendly and helpful they totally rocked and we’ll definitely be back with more people to play next time!

This was the perfect activity for our group of 10! We never felt crowded or like there wasn’t enough to work on. It was by far the best Escape Room I’ve done, with multiple rooms and tons of puzzles. Also, the people working there are super friendly!
