📖 THE STORY
Granny isn't so jolly this season!! She still remembers how you forgot to give her a present last year! As proper punishment, she demands that you decorate the house before her guests arrive in one hour...Fail to do so in time and she'll be cutting you out of her will!

🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE
Although it's an easy item to make, we still love the innovative ideas the creators bring to an entrance of an escape room. This one really made us feel like we're entering a fairytale.
One thing you'll notice with The Escape Ventures games is the consistency on their set designs. This one is my personal favorite as the transformation happens right in front of your eyes. You won't even realize that you're part of it until it's complete!
The color scheme used for the set design really bought out the holiday spirit and the furniture decor inside the house had a really warm feeling of being at a grandma's house.
The attention to detail from outside the lawn area to inside the house (that looks like two floor high) was amazing. Be careful with the plates! They are real!
There's a little surprise during the game that we really enjoyed. A lot of the escape room utilized this "tool" but this one actually made it REAL.
🧩 MISSED THE MARK
There was a good amount of "finding" and count puzzles that we had encountered in this room (since this is a family friendly room, I can see kids really enjoying this puzzle). With "finding" puzzles, there's no way to confirm on if we missed one or not so it's tougher in a room with lots of decors.
🏹 TAKE A SHOT?
This room made me happy from start to finish. The ending especially bought out the holiday spirit. But you can easily play this during anytime of the year because the victory will get you ready for any type of celebration. Families with kids would have a blast in this room since there's plenty for them to discover and a lot of room for them to explore. If you're looking for a bit more challenge, check out their other rooms "Bros For Life: Fraternity Heist" and "Outage: No Vacancy". Also, make sure to check out our interview video above with the owners as they have a brand new room coming out soon!
