Popcorn so gnarly, it’s practically criminal

savvy

about

The Reel serves up the most bodacious movie theater popcorn this side of the cosmos—ultra-buttery, mega-salty, and crunchier than a synth-pop vinyl. No other movie theater in town stands a chance. No duh!

That’s where you come in.

As the bummed-out owners of a rival theater, your business is on life support—and there’s only one way to bring it back from the brink: a popcorn-powered heist of epic proportions!

Word on the street is The Reel’s bogus manager can’t stop yapping about his “secret recipe.” He’s let it slip more than once that the formula for popped perfection is stashed somewhere inside the theater.

You’ve got one shot to sneak in, snag the goods, and blow this popcorn stand—before you get totally busted.

Grab your Walkman, cue the synth, and get ready for a snack-stealing adventure that’s like, totally radical!

Renee's. Reel. Revel...

Me, my little sister, and grandparents played through "The Reel" and it was super fun!! It was definitely a huge challenge, and got us pretty intense at times, but each puzzle with super clever and very nicely put together, leaving us shocked, surprised, and determined through every turn!! Our game master, Renee, also left some really helpful hints when we were struggling, was super friendly while explaining some of the rules, and generally was very pleasant!!! This was a very nice room, and I'd definitely like to come back another time :)

Riley's. Reel. Riddl...

I enjoy trying out new escape rooms when I travel. “The Reel Mystery” was a fun theme! The puzzles were pretty linear and included a few I had not seen before. Thanks to the game master, Riley, for some well timed clues!

My friends and I had a great time playing The Reel. Excellent puzzles and the theme was fun. Jade and Paige were awesome game masters and gave us hints when we were stuck. Can't wait to go back and try the other rooms!

The Reel's Rigorous...

This was our second time here and we had a ton of fun. The reel was definitely the most difficult so far. The puzzle masters are great and give good hints. Highly recommend any of their escape rooms!

Kira's. Clue. Conque...

Super cute fun place. The rooms are puzzles are designed well. We did “The reel” and it took us the full 60 minutes to do it. Will be back. Kira was our Game master and she gave us clues when we needed them, but she also let us struggle a little bit which was perfect. 10/10 would do again

Shayla's. Family. Fu...

We had a blast. We did the Reel with our kids, 5 and 10, and there were pieces that they could both help with. Shayla was extremely helpful and so nice. We will be back soon!
