📖 THE STORY

You’re taking on the roles of Marion and Indy (from the Indiana Jones movies) throughout the night to recreate some of their adventures. But no knowledge of the movies is needed; you can still enjoy an adventurous romp through the jungle either way!

🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE

• Exciting concept: We love the whole idea of Romantic Adventure Getaway! They provide really unique opportunities to get away, combine puzzles with romance, and stay overnight in a cool environment. You’ll receive an opening clue when you arrive, then solve each series of clues to lead you through a sequence of locations and activities.

• Indy-palooza: The Paradise Lost suite is a dream for Indiana Jones fans. The activities and spaces themselves are themed around the franchise, as well as incorporating pics, clips, and quotes throughout. While you don't need any prior knowledge, there's plenty of references to appreciate if you are an aficionado.

• Mood sequence: Indiana Jones is an adventure, and your evening begins the same, but grows in romance as the night climaxes. Earlier portions are more adventure and relaxation focused, but things took a turn mid-game into romance and then some spice. For us, the highlight was a very sweet and connective element in the middle that marked the shift into more of that romantic realm.

• Mix of activities: Most of the challenges are right out of one of the movies, with a nice mix of collaboration and co-operation. We weren’t thinking about heat or other elements in those moments!

• Cool vignettes: You will encounter some immersive and unexpected environments on your journey (one reveal particularly wowed us), and the passages are often well-concealed.

• Use of tech: They've Integrated tech in the adventure to allow for some escape room-esque puzzle solves and reveals. And they've put Alexa present in every room so you can personalize the music in each space, or just stick with the default Indiana Jones music. In a very sweet touch, they also pre-program “your song” that you pre-select for the most sentimental portion of the evening.

• Easter eggs: There are some additional hidden challenges beyond the main adventure…we found one, but there could easily have been more. Keep your eyes peeled and, if you have the time, do some extra searching.
  

🧩 MISSED THE MARK

• Temperature control: We arrived at the end of a sunny day in May. While the bedroom area had the A/C running and was a pleasant temperature, the rest of the areas were very warm and humid…sweating in our deluxe robes made some of the activities a bit less pleasant and made us more inclined not to linger so we could pop back into the cooler space. (There was one other A/C unit we found and were able to turn on partway through the experience. This would have been great to have running ahead of time to help cool things down.)

• Safety concern: There was some misleading real-world safety signage. A thematic, in-world warning would have been more fun and immersive without the potential safety issues.
  

🏹 TAKE A SHOT?

Calling all adventurous couples! Romantic Adventure Getaways are a fabulous way to celebrate a special occasion with a truly unique experience. The Paradise Lost Suite is a playful adventure where you get to recreate iconic moments from the first two movies, so the perfect pick for Indiana Jones fans. There’s a little something for everyone, from relaxing massage chairs to archery to shot glass stacking (which was harder than we expected!). It’s a special way to spice things up, blending gameplay, puzzles, and surprises with romance and intimacy. Definitely aim to be there the whole time allowable, and you may still wish you had more time! It will certainly be a night you won’t forget.
