59 escape rooms
We were excited to dive into the spooky world of Nosferatu at Escape The Netherworld, but unfortunately, the experience was more terrifying for the amount of locks than for the theme. 🧛♂️ The room was dark and spooky looking with a nice set design, not surprising given Netherworld's reputation as a haunted house. The storyline leading into the room was intriguing, and the finish was dramatic and had a great sense of acomplishment. However, as a Gen 1 room, it was filled with locks of all kinds. The non-lock puzzles were time-consuming, making it difficult for us with just two players. Todd spent the bulk of the time trying to solve the larger puzzles while I ran around unlocking a billion locks. A few design choices left us scratching our heads, like the inclusion of an Egyptian sarcophagus in a vampire-themed room. And the subtitle "Van Helsing's Secret" seemed a bit misleading, as there was only a brief mention of the famous vampire hunter. 🧐 The room is recommended for four people or experienced players. Have four players even if you're experienced! Doing this room with only two experienced players was PUNISHING. We only managed to get out on time due to our GM Mark carrying us through some of the ending puzzles. If you're only going to play a few rooms at Escape The Netherworld, I'd suggest keeping Nosferatu locked in his coffin and go play Sasquatch or Tiki Island instead.
Mark our GM was excellent, we only got out on time due to a lot of help at the end from him
