Loved this room! I had a bit of a mishap and thought the room was at 4:30 and I live two hours away so we showed up at 4:30 only to realize our room was at 4 and we were marked as a no show :( (completely our fault) They allowed us to play but only until the next group got there so we only had about 35 mins to play. We were so grateful they let us play even with half the time! Extremely kind GM I wish I got his name but we escaped nonetheless and is one of the fav rooms I’ve done! But that being said double check your reservations yall and be early!
Gameplay
Non linear and a fun mix of locks (all different types) and other tech elements.
Atmosphere
I am a huge chicken so I was very scared but just simply because of the darkness and good spooky ambience. Chickens don’t let the scary listing make you not do this room it’s worth it!
Customer service
We had a booking mishap as explained in my review but the staff was soooo nice about it!
Particularly interesting or different
Yes
Some fun things I’ve never seen before!
Story
Story was great I truly felt like the murderer was gonna enter the room at any second
Difficulty
Easy
I think for experienced players this room should be no problem! But not too easy that it wasn’t fun. We had a great time and the puzzles are pretty straight forward with only one puzzle proving to be difficult for us but after a hint made perfect sense.

Mostly mechanical with locks and numbers but a few surprising tech elements!

We did it with two no problem but having extra hands wouldn’t hurt either I’d say 2-4

The atmosphere and dim lighting is sooo spooky but nothing a scary cat can’t handle!

I would say the theme isn’t exactly child friendly but depends on the kid and your parenting choices!

No
Live actors
No
No live actors but the crew did sneak in behind us and slam a door that scared me pretty good but fit with the nature of the game!
Physically active
Somewhat
Only one moment where at least one player is required to crawl but only a minuscule distance
Accessibility
Very dark and the hint system is set in the killers spooky cryptic voice so possibly hard to understand for some but not a problem for my group
Easy to find location
Yes
We parked in a parking garage and walked to through the outlets and didn’t realize it was on the second floor but a quick google search can help but arrive early!
Parking

Big parking garage and they validate for free parking :)

Fun room, our game master Julia was very funny, and was nice enough to not subtract time when we were slightly late. The room was well designed, spacious enough for our group of 6, and some of the scares actually got some of us. Our group got through it pretty fast as the puzzles were fairly standard, so if you have a lot of experienced escape artists, something harder maybe be a better choice. Otherwise, for newbies or older kids who like horror this would great.

A very fun game. Not too difficult and with just enough atmosphere and scares to be a little spooky but not too scary. A few puzzles weren't super intuitive. Overall good room, would recommend to casual groups or for a good time, but not for puzzle or challenge seekers

This escape room is fantastic! The atmosphere is insanely well done, and it’s about as scary as it can be with no live actor. There aren’t a ton of jumpscares, which I think works to this room’s advantage. You’ll be on edge the entire time, and when a jump does come, it will always be in a way you don’t expect! Our game guide was wonderful and helpful, and the hint system plays in so well that it doesn’t break the immersion at all! My one warning would be not to bring too many people, or you’ll probably finish really quickly. There were only two of us, and we still had a relatively easy time. I think this is a great room for beginners if you can handle the scares. Even though the puzzles weren’t overly complex, the atmosphere and storytelling in this room alone makes it well worth your time!

I loved and hated this room… It was SOOOO well-done but was VERY scary for a chicken like me. I had trouble concentrating because it was so immersive.

Super fun!!! I don’t remember much about the puzzles because I was scared out of my mind… 😂

VERY immersive… TOO immersive… I wanted to leave. Haha.

So you are going to let my mind play tricks on me while I expect you to walk in and scare me…. 😱 how dare you give me the laughs while pooping my pants in secret 🤫 Worth the wait and escape. It’s the small touch they include to make you feel apart of your death trap, I mean escape room ;)

I was expecting someone to appear from behind but it’s my mind playing tricks due to the atmosphere they built

Super cool set, did a great job of setting an eerie mood. Just wish there were more puzzles to do.
