Young Lives - Alexandria

We had an amazing experience here! Not only was the game (The Wizard’s Apothecary) so fun and immersive, but the staff was great! A few hours after we left, we discovered we left some of belongings here. The staff went above and beyond to help us get it back. Thank you!

This escape room was really cool. My friend and I did the wizards apothecary by ourselves and barely used any hints. Jaylan was the game master and she was awesome!! She was really sweet and gave us nudges instead of the full hints like someplace do, so we still got the full experience.

Our team had a great time at Escape Room Live Alexandria! We did the Sherlock Holmes Moment In Time room. The room was very well designed and accented the Sherlock Holmes theme in multiple ways. If you're a fan of the books, you will enjoy many of the touches and inclusions in the room, such as his violin, drawings of birds, sample bottles, a boxing glove, and a walking stick (maybe Dr. Watson's?). For being contained to only one room, the puzzles were dense and kept us busy. For the most part, things progressed sequentially, but there were also multiple things to try and figure out or "wonder" about if a pair of us were intensely trying to figure out the current dilemma. Max did a great job as our guide through the room, providing us ever so slight nudges when we got slightly off track; we often found ourselves overthinking something obvious and doing a forehead smack collectively. We also got to peek in at the Apothecary Room while there, which looks really fantastic and detailed. We will assuredly come back for that one! The entire space is very inviting and feels very themed to the Old Alexandria style. The business fits the town well. Additionally, they have a lot of swag for purchase like metal pins and T-shirts specific to the room you escaped, a nice feature you don't see in many escape rooms. There were also other options for purchase including at home escape room kits, if you want to keep the fun going. Bottom line: great escape room, well-themed, challenging-but-not-impossible, and great staff. Highly recommend!
