Dark Heart of the Hotel - Chapter 2

One of our all-time favorites! Controversial opinion—this is even better than Chapter 1. Puzzles were challenging and unique and worked into the story well. Our favorite part: You can feasibly do this room without any hints. So many rooms require a certain amount of luck, and if you don’t get lucky, you’ll need hints. This one gives you plenty of guidance without giving anything away. When you escape, you feel accomplished.

Really fun follow up to the first room. Lots of unique takes on puzzles with a spooky goory theme. The game master was very nice and engaging.

I have to agree with the other reviews here. Not as good as Chapter 1, but still fun. It’s a continuation of the same story, which I personally think is limiting them. We enjoyed the room regardless.

I really, really liked this room and the concept. It was spooky but was not scary. Very well done room. The management leaves something to be desired though.

I highly recommend Chapter 1 for a great experience. The puzzles are well-crafted and fitting to the story, the scenery is next level, and it is just fun to experience. However, Chapter 2 falls short in several major areas. One puzzle near the beginning seemed broken, costing us 5-8 minutes trying to get the correct code to trigger a mechanism. Additionally, some puzzles are nearly identical to those in Chapter 1, and overall, the puzzles don’t fit the story as well and lack the innovation seen in newer rooms. It feels like the creators poured their heart and soul into the first room but struggled to continue the story effectively in the second room with the available space and while trying to differentiate it from the first. A few tweaks to the props and cluing could significantly improve the playing experience. Even with the dissatisfaction with this experience, there is much respect to be given to the creators for the uniqueness of Chapter 1.

The puzzles in chapter 1 were better. But I liked the set in chapter 2 better.

We did this room right after Room 303, which was recommended and I think works well because the story runs together. Everything is just as good as Room 303. Clean, well decorated, with fun tech and manual puzzles combined. Another great room!

This is hands down my favorite escape room! We've done over 20 rooms and this one blows them all away. So high tech, spooky factor, and just mind blowing. Either room at 303 is worth it!

Love the staff here. This was a very spooky room with unique puzzles. The content in the room is not for kids or sensitive viewers. We had a great time here and are excited for the 3rd room to open

Looked forward to this after doing chapter one twice. The room could have been great but two glitches really caused some major let downs.
