Escape the Pike, Sturbridge, MA
Awesome rainy day activity!! Although going in gave the impression of a small dainty family home. It's so much more, perhaps a dream come true when the magic happens from room to room. Shoutout to the game master as well for being so nice and the small hints as well who had us, the escape room isn't what you expect and the interaction is almost surreal with the witty jokes. 5/5 would come back, worth every dollar, and utmost satisfaction from start to finish!
