We had a fun time escaping from The Haunted Manor! We were running ahead of schedule and were able to get our booking time moved up, which we very much appreciated. The lobby was really nicely decorated. Jake was an amazing host!
The Stranded in Space room was very well designed and brought us right into the story immediately. The puzzles were HARD, though. We had a group of 5 middle-school boys for a birthday, and they needed help from the parents; and it was very hard for the parents! But we had a lot of fun.
Jace and Michael were fantastic and super accommodating to our group of 32 marching band kids! We had a wonderful time, Thank you so much!
We did The Haunted Manor room on Saturday, 3/9/24. Literally the only thing we didn’t like was that it was sometimes difficult to hear our guide when we asked for hints. I feel there was MAYBE something wrong with the speakers because we had just done the Stranded In Space room on Wednesday, 3/6/24 and had zero difficulty hearing over those speakers. We also had difficulty hearing some of the story over the speakers BUT it could have just been our older age. Other than that, BOTH ROOMS WERE PHENOMENAL! Props are CLEAN & in great shape. Rooms were in great shape. Story lines were well thought out. STAFF IS PHENOMENAL! The rooms ARE darker & we did have to use the flashlight on our phone to read some stuff but then again, I’m 50 & my husband is 60. They did end up bringing us one of those small flashlights that fits in your palm and that was very helpful. I would definitely say we loved it! Our guide/host for Saturday evening , Jace, was amazing. He did a great job explaining everything and was helpful. He also takes great group pictures. We don’t remember our guide/hosts name for 3/6/24 but she was equally as pleasant & amazing. We really liked that the guides were willing to take a group picture for us. There was also this fun chair in the lobby I made sure to take a picture in because I’m a big weirdo. There is water in the lobby you can purchase for $2 which is nice. SUPER IMPORTANT to arrive 15 minutes BEFORE your appointment so you can fill out waivers for each person in your group and also to get your instructions. Nice, clean restrooms. Low lighting in lobby was great for “ambiance lighting”. Lastly, when you get to the building, you will notice the doors are locked. Make sure you read the paper on the door because it will instruct you to call a number for them to come out and let you in. We truly loved it and will definitely be returning for the other rooms. THANK YOU FOR THE FUN EXPERIENCE, INDIANAPOLIS PANIQ!
So yeah... blast of a time was had. There is one thing to see a movie and imagine what you would do through characters on a screen, then you are actually are locked in a room and YOU are the main character! Can you make it out? Alive? On time? We did! Come try your problem solving skills.
Paniq Escape Room is great! My husband and I did two of their rooms today for our anniversary. It worked out perfectly with just the two of us, but also would work well with a larger group. Their games are unique, with less focus on locks and combinations, and more technology behind them to make them more interesting than other escape rooms we've done. The rooms are well maintained and very thematic. The game master was very helpful; I wish we'd gotten his name, because he did a great job.
Im new to panic rooms... we did the haunted manor with my wife & son, It was a blast! Place was clean & put together well, excellent host, Time flew by fast! We were all but done so our host gave us a hint & couple of minutes at the end to help us finish. A+
The Haunted Manor had a wonderful atmosphere for our birthday party group of a handful of 12-14 year olds plus a dad. It was just the right amount of atmopsheric eerie and spooky to be fun, without being gory or gross. Puzzles were tricky and inventive and solvable -- and not impossible. I loved the surprise of seeing things pop open and mysteries revealed in interesting ways when you solved a puzzle. We had to use some hints they are truly hints and not spoilers, and I recommend using them to learn the game and keep things moving along when you're stuck, but we finished the mystery in the nick of time, with only 12 seconds to spare. A good time was had by all.
My group had a great time here! We made it through the Insane Asylum Escape Room with 3 people. I loved all of the puzzles and the atmosphere of the room. Jayce was a great game master! I would recommend this place to anyone traveling to Indianapolis looking for a fun time! :
Great escape room! It was our 1st time doing an escape room and we loved it! We had so much fun!
