Each of our escape room games will feature one chapter of a continuous story set in the Blackmore Hotel also known as the Homicide Hotel. Your experience begins in the lobby and continues as you walk through the hallways of this eerie old building. You were barely able to escape Room 303. As you were trying to find your way through the hotel’s confusing corridors you stumble across a door that takes you deeper into the heart of the hotel. Learn the dark truth as you explore the inner depths of the Blackmore Hotel. Discover the secret areas where Robert spends most of his time. Robert staged his own death when he escaped from the Sunny Pines mental facility. The police believe he is dead but only you know the truth. You have 1 hour before Robert returns to find evidence that you can turn over to police to convince them that not only is Robert not dead, he has returned to take back his hotel and claim more victims.

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.

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.
Fun to do. Nothing super crazy.
Well done.
She was very friendly.

Some elements were pretty creative.
Personally, it starts to feel a little messy and confusing when escape rooms try to link stories.

Honestly 2-4 is plenty. It was rather linear.

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.

One player needs to be able to crawl and step up on a platform 1 foot off the ground. Flashing lights to be aware of.

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.
