The Haunting of Noriko

I waited a long time to find a folks that were game for this one. Totally worth it!

Cool Japanese-style horror room that’s a little old now but still holds up quite well. I can see why it was so highly rated back in the day. No live actor but the atmosphere was creepy and there was a handful of fun jump scares. Some of the puzzles and prop design didn’t make the most sense in the space but it’s still a very good game overall.

This was a spooky room with good atmosphere and a few cool tech aspects, but the puzzles were weaker and did not flow well.

We had a lot of fun in the game. The puzzles were very separated from the narrative and weren’t diegetic which was a shame. However it was really fun experience with a lot of great payoff moments. I loved the scale of the set and how available it was from so early in the game.

Amazing gameplay. Amazing atmosphere like all of their rooms.

Lol I was too freaked out to be of any use to my group of 6, but we still managed to escape with 25m to spare, surprisingly!

Noriko is a great intro to a scarier escape room! We had a blast with some of the really unique elements in this multilevel room. We screamed, we laughed, it was a really fun theme with lost of great immersive details and surprises I have never seen in another room before or since! There were a couple puzzles that were not my favourite but overall if you are looking for a room that will keep you kn your toes, Noriko is a great choice!

This was a great room with some fantastic elements that I haven’t seen used before. One in particular stands out that I haven’t seen in any other room to date and I absolutely loved. This room brought out fear, excitement, intensity, frustration (the good kind?), and adventure. It was creepy for sure but not too scary and had lots of puzzles we loved and some we weren’t huge fans of but still enjoyed the room quite a bit overall. Escape Games always proves to be one of the best in the area.
