Perfect for 8 year olds! Lots more fun than other escape rooms we've tried. More 3D elements like a robot, good clues to discover the codes, well written story, and several different types of maps to assemble. The music/timer adds a lot too. One note - it took closer to an hour (instead of 20 minutes) to assemble all the props and figure out the game ahead of time. Highly recommend! We'll be back soon to try more of these escape rooms!!!
