Mark as done to rate

You've earned a second chance at freedom, but it's slim. About 3 months ago, Edward hired a man named John Peterson to help him make some "engineering changes" to an elevator shaft on his property. John quickly figured out that these changes he was being asked to make were indeed sinister in nature. When he confronted Edward, he was told that he could not leave until the project was finished or else his wife and daughter would pay the price. The project is complete and John is long dead. You've found yourself locked inside the elevator shaft. Will you and your friends be able to follow the steps John put in place for you? Or will you perish under the weight of a 6 ton steel elevator? This is the most technically advanced room The Basement has to offer. The Elevator Shaft delivers a level of realism and intensity that is unmatched in the world of Escape Rooms today.

This is literally one of the coolest escape rooms I've ever done. Super interesting, very atmospheric, high tech, with some of the coolest and most immersive puzzles I've ever seen.

The Basement’s Elevator Shaft was incredibly immersive. There was smoke, water, moving parts, buttons, switches, the whole shebang. Though the room was small, the 45 minute timer keeps you on your toes and working the entire time. Some puzzles are right in front of you and some you need to work for. Let’s just say I should have looked everywhere and read everything before I started some puzzles. I was completing the last puzzle when me and my partner ran out of time and I don’t think I’ll let myself live it down for the next 3 weeks.

We did the dead and breakfast package where you get to do all 4 escape rooms back to back. This worked for us since our team loves out of area. This one in particular was pretty much like the twilight zone tower of terror if it was done as a Halloween haunt type ride.

I never played a game like this before. There is a definite horror element in the room, and the interactions with the room are out of this world. I would recommend this place to anyone experienced in escape rooms!
