Erebus Escape
Step into a magical quest at Erebus Escape’s Storybook Kingdom in Pontiac. Rescue the Toymaker and outsmart the Ice Queen in this engaging, family-friendly challenge.
Erebus Escape operates themed escape room experiences designed for groups and enthusiasts. The company offers five distinct rooms: Dragon's Curse - Beginner Level, Eye Of Horus - Egyptian Tomb, Body Of Evidence - Murder Mystery, LockDown - Prison Break, and Once Upon a Time - Beginner Level. Each experience presents a focused storyline, puzzles, and challenges that require teamwork, observation, and problem-solving.
Dragon's Curse invites players to free a wise wizard trapped by an evil sorceress; the experience emphasizes creativity and puzzle solving and is framed as a one-hour challenge in the room description. Eye Of Horus leads teams into an Egyptian tomb to uncover the secrets of Set, recover the Golden Queen, and seal the fate of the Eye of Horus while racing against time. Body Of Evidence is set in Parker's Funeral Parlor, where players investigate rising death rates and hidden secrets in an hour-long murder mystery. Once Upon a Time places participants in the Storybook Kingdom to rescue the Toymaker from the Ice Queen, complete a magical invention, open a portal, and reclaim the Ice Crystal. LockDown is presented as a Prison Break experience.
Several rooms are labeled beginner level, providing accessible introductions to escape room gameplay. Many adventures are built around timed puzzles and collaborative problem solving. Erebus Escape communicates clear experience descriptions, defined themes, and specific objectives for each room. Those details help visitors choose an appropriate challenge and understand the format and expectations before booking. Booking information and availability can be confirmed online or directly with Erebus Escape prior to arrival.
