Mark as done to rate

This family-friendly, Scooby-Doo-style mystery has you attending a carnival-themed reunion down in Louisiana. Something tragic happened here decades ago. You’ll discover that out in the swamp, amid the alligators and fireflies, the past is still very much “alive”. Can you follow the clues and solve the puzzles before the clock strikes midnight? Or will you become a permanent part of history?

A really fun room! I would highly recommend it to anyone that likes interactive puzzles. The room starts linear but then completely opens up to become non-linear, which ramps up the difficulty a bit. Nonetheless, the room was great and very immersive!

Gameplay

A very non-linear room, so it can be a little difficult to track which parts connect to different puzzles but overall once you get the ball rolling, everything starts falling into place

Atmosphere

Probably one of the most immersive rooms I’ve been experienced! Everything about the room truly makes you feel like you’re outside

Customer service

Extremely friendly staff and very personable!

This room is one of the best for large groups since you can tackle multiple puzzles at the same time and has accommodating space. The puzzles were fun and rewarding but the environment and atmosphere could have been a bit more immersive. A solid 3.5/5; not necessarily my favorite room but not terrible either.

I admit, this was another non-scary escape room that I thoroughly enjoyed! What made this escape room unique was that it utilized the entire space, the puzzles were hidden within the set design, and the Game Master was physically present within the escape room as well. I played this escape room before the COVID-19 Pandemic, so there was a live actor (the Game Master) who played the Magician which just added to the immersive experience. He was a lot of fun, had a great sense of humor, and he was very knowledgeable. He didn’t give away hints unless he saw that we were desperately struggling, which we were at certain points haha. Out of the two escape rooms at Red Lantern Escape, Midnight on the Bayou was BY FAR the best one here!

Experienced escapists will breeze through this one but it’s very cute. Nothing really bad to say about it.

There's a lot of space and the decor initially makes it look like it's going to be a good room. However, as you play through, the puzzles aren't challenging, the decor isn't utilized well, and the space is best used to stand around. Half of our group was just hanging out as if we were actually at a reunion.

High production room, room was pretty big and puzzles weren’t super linear so you can definitely have bigger parties. For our party of 4, we felt the puzzles were doable without hints.
