UndercookedOmescape - SunnyvaleEscape roomIRLGreat immersive set dressing & excellent use of tech. There were a lot of effects that were really neat little moments. This room does a surprisingly good job at recreating the vibes of playing the video game it's based on. We did it with two people so there was minimal chaos but most groups will want more and I can image that does an even better job of invoking the game.
Haunting at Haruka HighOmescape - SunnyvaleEscape roomIRLThis is one of the most immersive and impressive rooms we've done -both the level of tech and the way it was used were really cool. It was basically like being in a Japanese horror story. I don't do scary experiences as a rule (no haunted houses, no horror themed escape rooms with actors) but as a fan of Japanese horror I decided to try this anyway. I almost bailed a dozen times and I spent most of the time with my back against whatever solid wall I could find but it was worth it. Our GM was amazing - she was patient, she communicated with us regularly so I'd be more comfortable going into new spaces, she gave just the right amount of hinting & she did it without breaking the immersion. I put some additional details about the nature of the scares and the amount that the actor does/doesn't control the level of horror in the detailed notes. I put them there so anyone who would find it helpful can look but anyone who would consider it a spoiler can skip it.
