Definitely a unique room. It's always nice to find a room based on local historical figures, and this one both was about John Brown AND mentioned him and his experiences many times throughout the game, thus keeping it in-theme and a little educational. Since we're not from WV, we knew very little about John Brown, so this was surprisingly enlightening. Room is pretty unconventional in the aspect that one of the first tools they give you is NOT one you'd see in most escape rooms. Throughout your time here you may have to cast aside your previous escape room experience and think a bit differently. Some usual no-no's are instead a thing you must do in this one. Make sure you follow the signs, though, open all places that have the possibility of being opened, and keep an eye out for small details. Room is very in-theme with the story and consistently remains that way even until the end. Mostly linear but it wasn't too bad. GM Deidrich was great and helpful, Sarah was very welcoming and the place is run by their family, so you can tell a lot of love went into the place. VERY spacey lobby, I was really impressed!
