Journey across oceans of time as you descend into Victorian England, fearfully held under the cold grasp of something dark...evil... Undead. Your eyes begin to focus through the dull light. The croak and groan of the Russian cargo ship, The Demeter, makes you feel uneasy. You sense that a terrible event has occurred - the crew are missing, presumed dead. Only the body of the Captain is later recovered, found horrifically bound to the helm of the vessel. You have been called upon by Professor Abraham Van Helsing, the noted Dutch Metaphysician and his former student, Dr. John Seward whom's patient, the aristocrat - Lucy Westenra, is presenting a series of bizarre symptoms. She seems to be drawn under the power of an unknown force which yolks her strength, day by day. What is causing her decline and could it be in some way connected to the eery appearance of the deserted ship upon Whitby's shore? Only you can find the truth!

A really fun game in a unique setting. We loved this game and enjoyed the wide range of puzzles. Some crawling needed so we came out a bit mucky! The sign of a great game!

Loved this room! It’s in an actual cave which really lends to the Dracula theme. Some lovely puzzles in this and all flowed really well. Great atmosphere, no live actors so this isn’t scary ☺️

A simple and short game, great for beginners. The cave setting really helps set the scene and build immersion. Ending was a little anticlimactic but overall the fun and engaging experience.

We had a great time following the clues in this escape room. A few of them stumped us initially and we got a few answers wrong and were put on the right track by our GM. Pay attention to the fine details when searching. The cave setting works really well and we recommend you give it a try.
Gameplay
We enjoyed the transitions between rooms. We got a little lost at times with the flow but were helped back on track.
Atmosphere
Immersive sets and some nice antique props to help us feel in the Victorian theme.
Customer service
Treated well. Had a wait for a clue when we were stuck early on but this could be as we arrived at our time slot rather than early and we overlapped another group. Help was good for the rest of the game and got us to the end in the hour.

We struggled a bit but that was more on us I think. A few of the puzzles were harder to figure out but overall it felt achievable.

We were fine with two. Puzzles are quite linear so could do with more but there may be some watching others do stuff.

A very cool use of the caves below their building! Quite a few distinctively different areas to this game with very surprising ways of entering. (A lovely decorated reception too!)

Our first escape room in a cave and what a fab cave it is. Definitely worth a visit and the easier of the two rooms (this and Monuments) if you have a small/less experienced group. Really enjoyed this room, you won’t be disappointed.
