The scripts and direction are the work of Magnus Myst, Marion May, and Miguel Vaca Stark; sets and props are handled by Marion May together with Frank Pingel. The performers are credited as the Team X Ensemble. The escape theatre has garnered over 2,000 five-star reviews on Google, and TripAdvisor ranks it among the top ten percent of entertainment experiences worldwide.
