Permanently Closed - Dwight Carpenter was born the son of Ted Carpenter, a backwoods simpleton, and Wendy Loomis on a quiet morning in 1968. Wendy had the unfortunate displeasure of crossing paths with Ted while she was a counselor at the nearby summer camp. All the counselors were slaughtered and consumed by Ted, except Wendy. Ted kept her caged up in his workshop in the back of his secluded cabin. Sometime after Dwight’s birth, Wendy found a way out of the cabin and never looked back, even for Dwight. For she knew that if anyone ever found Dwight, she would become a social outcast. As the years passed, Dwight started to have more questions about his mother and her whereabouts. Ted always told his son that his mother left them to go live a life of sin in the city. Every night before they could devour their day’s hunt at the table, Ted always ranted about how their victims were divinely brought to them. Their appearance was God telling Ted it was their time to go. For the whole world was rotten, but that of Dwight and Ted. When Dwight was fifteen, he saw his father as a threat and knew he could fall prey to him any second. He loved his father dearly but was worried that his aging mind was getting the best of him. To be safe, Dwight scattered clues throughout the cabin that only he knew the solution to. This fear of his disappeared on one fateful evening in 1985 when a group of hunters accidentally shot and killed Ted, mistaking him for a deer. Fueled by grief and rage, Dwight finally saw the world as his father did. Those hunters became the first of Dwight Carpenter’s many victims. Will you join them?

My group really enjoyed this experience. When we did it, the actor was pretty interactive with us and it was one of the first few escape rooms that really got me hooked to the escape room culture

Good Story. Pretty spotty production quality, at least when we went. All their props are clearly real/repurposed goods-- rough edges, rust and all. Which adds to the aesthetic but isn't very... well, safe. Especially for a room so physical, and one you do with strangers. I cut my hand open on the metal edge of a chest containing clues and spent tbe next 15 mins of the game holding my hand up to the cameras and trying to get someone to come in and give me a band aid or something. Host was super nice about it, but clearly not in a position to actually prevent it happening again. So... yeah. Cool puzzles. You can go-- just get your tetanus shot first?

One of my first escape rooms and I enjoyed this one very much. There was a lot things to do in the room and the decor was really fun. Would recommend!

This room was alright in a combo locks + too much black light kind of way. The inclusion of an actor really hampered the experience. Our actor hovered which was quite distracting, and offered some unsolicited hints when my group did not want any. This room would be just as playable, and only slight less scary, without an actor.

Really enjoyed my time here, nice staff and the actor was a unique element! Very lock and key so if that’s not your thing I’d keep that in mind.

We chase all the horror games. We love live actors but not the ones that hover. This actor hovered so much, we thought we were doing terrible and that he was rushing us along to help. But we finished with 20 minutes left on the clock. That’s ridiculous. Leave the players to think for themselves. At some point he pointed at my friend and directed her to an area that we hadn’t even made our way to yet. We just felt so rushed, we didn’t have fun unfortunately.
