Summary:
The America's Escape Game is my favorite place to go for escape rooms. I've done 5 of them, and this time we did Murdering Heights (the drop down above is only giving me Asylum as an option, but it was MH that we did). It was my son's 12th birthday. He and his friends had a blast! They couldn't stop talking about how much fun (and scary) it was. They can't wait to come back and do another one. Thank you to all the staff for making my son's special day so memorable! YOU ROCK!!
