Mind Factory Escape Games

I have played dozens of escape rooms across the east coast and I can say without a doubt that this was the best overall experience I have ever had. My partner and I booked this last minute as something to do on a night off, and drove over an hour to get there based on everyone else's wonderful reviews. I can say the experiences live up to the reviews. The room was fun, and a nice combination of mechanical and technical puzzles with some cool features I had never seen in rooms before. It is a truly perfect room for experts (who will get stuck and overlook some of the easy puzzles like we did) and beginners (who will get the smaller puzzles but have more tactical issues with bigger tasks). The true standout though was David who was our Game Master (but is also the owner and game designer) who you could tell was truly passionate about making sure we had a good time and enjoyed the room and overall experience. Once he knew we were well experienced in rooms, he took the time to ask us a bit more about our preferences when playing, do we want to be redirected when we are in a rabbit hole or should we struggle? How often should he intervene if needed? Those questions already told us that he cared deeply about how we went around the room. The thing my partner and I couldn't stop talking about after we left was that David took the time to chat with us for about twenty minutes after we escaped about our experience. He wanted to know if the room felt fair, if he did a good job in his role as a GM for us, what we liked, what we didn't, and you could tell he really cared about the answers we were giving him. I know they are also in the process of building their third room and he talked about some of the process, and asked us about what we liked in rooms, and what we hated. He also wanted to make sure we agreed with the difficulty level of the room and thought it would be fun for all players. As an experienced player you could fell Davids passion through the game, and I truly enjoyed every moment playing this room and am looking forward to playing the next two installments in the series!

Where do I even start? First of all, my girlfriend and I tried out Breathless. The game was extremely fun, well thought out, and featured an in game mechanic that I think is very creative and new to escape rooms. Second of all the price is literally unbeatable. I have done pricier games for less content and less deserving content at that. A small chat with the owner really helps me understand that this location has love for the games and customers more than the money. Which brings me to my final point, Dave, the aforementioned owner asked us about the games, how we enjoyed them, and what we would change if anything. To me, this is the most caring thing a business owner could do, it’s refreshing and reassuring to have someone running the games I love so much. Thank you so much Dave, and staff for all the great work you do. We love you!

We had a great time doing Breathless! Dave was an awesome Game Master and was really engaging before and after our game. Was really interested in our experience and looking to always make the experience better! Definitely check it out. We will be back again soon!

Me and my girlfriend went in January 2025 and did the breathless room, it was very fun and had a interesting concept, The room doesn’t rely on external knowledge so it’s perfect for people trying their first escape room, This was the first time My girlfriend and I did an escape room and we both really enjoyed it. We had an hour to complete the challenge in the room, We failed but got very close to the end it was only us two but you can have many more people in the escape room. The owner had great hospitality and asked us for feedback. Genuine owner and a Great place to have fun as a couple or a Group. We plan on coming back and doing the second room with a bigger group. 👍 10/10

I did invasion, and I loved it! This is the best escape room I've done. Every aspect of the experience was crafted with care and skill. The room itself is beautifully done and the atmosphere is great. It's creepy in there. It looks like a movie set. The puzzles are great too. They are tough for sure, but they're not arbitrary. The pieces come together in a really satisfying way for each of the bigger puzzles. Inventive and fun. I'd say the sweet spot would be a group of 3 or 4 enthusiasts. I tried to do it solo and barely made it after using all my clues (plus some extra help). A couple more people would have been perfect. The room can easily accommodate larger groups though. There's a lot of space. I can't wait untill I forget the details of the puzzles so I can go back and do it again!
