The Room
Description (from the company website): You and a group will experience four distinctive rooms, with iconic scenes from your favorite record-breaking horror films including Saw, Halloween, Nightmare on Elm Street, and Insidious. Solve intricate puzzles and race the clock to escape Jigsaw, Michael Myers or Freddy Krueger. Your limits will be tested in an attempt to truly Escape the Movies… or become our next victims trapped inside the haunted theater!
Note: this room has been revamped since we did it, so your experience may not be the same.

Cost: $25 + tax per person
Identifier: R1
Party Size: Up to 8
Staging Area: It’s in an old movie theater that is supposedly haunted, so pretty damn creepy.

OUR EXPERIENCE
Logistics:
Description of the room: The theater itself was pretty cool looking. They turn it into a haunted house for the Halloween season.
The rooms themselves were very well done… we knew what movie we were supposed to be in and they added some additional decorations to help with the theme.
Understanding of the Mission: Solve the clues going through 4 rooms based on different horror movies, find the key and escape before the monsters get you!
Did We Escape: Yes, by the skin of our teeth (bad pun intended)
Time Remaining: About 45 seconds
Our Suggested Party Size: They say up to 8 can do the room, but we had only 4 (which was supposed to be 6), and that was sufficient.
Did the room challenge the entire team? Yes, there was plenty for all of us to do.
Members of our team (other than the ERG): Steph
Worth the time and money? Yes!
Where to Eat/Drink Before/After: We’re not familiar with Laurel, so we’re going to have to leave you to Google for a recommendation.
