My favorite of the three OTC rooms, probably because it really just runs with the theme in all it's strange, campy glory. I didn't realize this was going to be a scary room going into it (although obviously the name is a bit of a clue), which is probably for the best. I had a very good time (except for one sequence, this room is far less scary then, say, Cornstalkers) and our NPC made things very fun. I really loved the bonus challenges and I kind of wished we had ordered some snacks, just to see how that worked. What a fun experience (special thanks to our GM, who was fantastic - we loved the tour of everything afterwards)!

I think the drawing made my week :) I really loved the digital portion of this room even as I'm not entirely certain I followed the plot. Super high quality room, with some great puzzles. I personally didn't love the very end twist, but we had a great time escaping! We played this room back to back with the Morgue and the transition straight into the second room was delightful! I do have to say that the little flourishes that OTC adds to the experience definitely add to the fun.

What a fun (scary) room! Excellent puzzles, a really fantastic actor interactions. We did this as a team of four, which seemed to be a good number for the space. Having dedicated safe and not safe spaces really helped enjoyment of the room. Our host, Ashley, killed it from the get go. She let us do a room debrief after the experience and I was super impressed with how much she has to juggle on her to own to make the experience work.

Deep Inside

Incredible immersion and interactive narrative - the set and the effects on the room are incredible. I really like that Deep Inside aimed for something incredibly ambitious and very different from other experiences. This is an escape room that is a bit light on puzzles, but not light on experiences - and it probably helps coming in and knowing that. Slight interlude in the middle that I enjoyed, but am not sure how it fit into the narrative?

A very elaborately done room with some good scares. This room is somewhat tame by European standards, but on the scarier side for the US. Set design is fantastic and the various props and puzzles were very very well done. At some points, it felt like I was in a Japanese schoolgirl horror fever dream and I suspect that was basically the point. Easily the best horror game in the Bay Area, which sounds like faint praise because there really aren't that many, but this one is top notch!

Battle for Britain is my favorite escape room in London and I like it so much, I've actually done it twice, albeit over six years apart (once at the old location and once with an escape-room loving friend in the current location). None of the puzzles use technology that wasn't available during the time period the room is set in. The puzzles are lovely, very well done and the fact that you are trying to stop as many aerial attacks as possible (as opposed to linearly advancing through a room) gives the room a very different feel.
