The Last Vampire

Amazingly themed room that sets the bar very high. Some really unique puzzles in this one, but I won’t give too much away. It’s better you follow the light into the castle yourself!

9/10 ⭐️— A HIDDEN GEM… BUT THAT CLOCK!! 🧛🏽‍♂️🕰️ The Last Vampire at Encrypted Escape was such a pleasant surprise! We absolutely LOVED this room, and it quickly became one of those hidden gems that remind us why we enjoy escape rooms so much. First, the set design was A1! From the moment we entered, we were transported into what felt like Dracula’s house. The dim lighting, spooky music, atmospheric details, and overall environment created a wonderfully creepy and immersive experience. The storyline was well thought out, and the puzzles followed a logical, cohesive sequence that made sense within the world of the game. We especially appreciated the linear progression, including the clever use of lighting to guide us through the experience. There was a little bit of everything: logic, written clues, musical elements, diagrams, skill-based challenges, and so much more. It genuinely felt like there was something for everyone, and the puzzles remained consistent with the vampire theme rather than feeling randomly inserted. We were having an AMAZING time. Until… THE CLOCK. 🕰️😩 IF YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW!!! I don’t want to spoil the puzzle itself, but this particular skill-based challenge brought our momentum to a SCREECHING HALT. We spent approximately 20 MINUTES trying to complete it. TWENTY. MINUTES. And not because we couldn’t figure out what needed to be done, but because the physical execution of the task was unnecessarily frustrating. Eventually, the GMs came in and gave us the key so we could move forward. Unfortunately, by that point, so much time had been lost that we ultimately did not escape. And THAT was frustrating because we were SO CLOSE! What made it even more disappointing was our conversation with the GMs afterward. When we mentioned the clock, their response was essentially, “Oh yeah, that happens to a lot of people.”😒 If this is a recurring issue for multiple groups, then perhaps that particular aspect of the puzzle needs some adjustment. I’m not saying remove it or make the room easier. I’m saying modify the execution slightly so the challenge remains fun instead of becoming a bottleneck. We understand that some groups complete it without issue, and that’s great! But when a skill-based task repeatedly prevents players from progressing despite understanding the solution, it may be worth reconsidering the mechanics. We genuinely felt robbed of what we knew was going to be a satisfying ending. And the frustrating part is that EVERYTHING ELSE ABOUT THIS ROOM WAS FANTASTIC! The atmosphere, storyline, puzzle variety, logical progression, and immersion were all incredibly well done. Despite our frustration with that ONE puzzle, we would ABSOLUTELY recommend The Last Vampire. Just beware… THAT. CLOCK. 😂

Everything conformed to the theme, nothing out of place, very very good. Great experience all round.

Fun room, great look with great puzzles. Dont miss this one!

This experience was one of the best escape room we've done! The overall environment of the place was welcoming, and our gamemaster Jon was wonderful. The overall room was very well designed, with a very special light feature that allows for the player to know what puzzles are available at the moment. All of the puzzles were very unique and the atmosphere was great! The puzzles can definitely be challenging, but my group of four continuously knocked out the puzzles, achieving a top score. Its's always great when the puzzles flow nicely and we aren't stuck on one puzzle. It was also nice the the puzzles weren't designed in a linear fashion, but could rather be tackled by groups of two, for our group. Overall, a top experience for us!

We really liked this room. It was difficult but the puzzles were able to be figured out in a logical way and those are my favorite kind. Everything was on theme and felt right in the room.

Great room! Solidly nonlinear, plenty to do the whole time. Highly recommend! Very thematic

The Last Vampire was thrilling and full of suspense! We’ve played all four rooms, and this was the only one we didn’t escape (so make sure you follow the instructions you're given at the start of the game). Clever puzzles, spooky atmosphere, and plenty of surprises made it an unforgettable experience.

Staff was excellent and Fun! This was a great room and definitely worth the trip. Theming was great, props were great. Set was beautiful. Progressive lighting was a blessing and a curse. Thematically fun but I felt like I didn't have control of the puzzle. One cabinet was partially open yet not and it was confusing. Fantastic room though, well thought out and fun. Loved the effects!!!
