Mark as done to rate
The Mourning Brothers Funeral Parlor’s history stretches back to the 1800s when these undertakers began offering quality funeral services. However, in the olden days of mining, services were too expensive for those tragically lost in the usual collapses and cave ins. To compensate for their dying enterprise, the Mourning Bros. adopted a new approach. Instead of cremating the remains of loved ones, bodies were tossed in the mine below the funeral parlor and families were given urns filled with dirt. For those seeking a more traditional closed casket service they were provided with a coffin filled with rock to give in the necessary weight. It was a risky venture but a successful one. These ghastly business practices continued up until the Mourning families mysterious disappearance. They say that over a thousand restless souls reside in The Haunted Mine. Tour the bowels of this macabre operation and find a way to free the condemned. You have 1 hour to blow the mine releasing the souls freeing them from eternal torment before the mine becomes your final resting place.

30 escape rooms
You only get 50 minutes in this room. Most escape rooms you have a full hour so this was already a challenge. Also, the clues are extremely difficult to figure out. We spent the first 30 minutes on the first clue and by the time they gave us the answers we figured that we would escape and then it made it harder to try. The clues were also scripted and not really tailored to what we needed. You have to pay extra for the room to be private and they had a gratuity.!

We used half of our time figuring out the second clue. They finally gave us the answer and we still don’t understand how they got it.

Extremely difficult. Also, it is not a full 60 minutes - we had 50 minutes.

We spent half of our time on the second clue. They finally gave us the answer - but we still don’t know how they even figured out that was the answer.

Even though we got hung up in the first room, once we moved onward, we finished this room in blazing fast time! Looking around, underneath, within was frustrating and hard to see which caused our delay. Puzzles were a bit, disappointing.

Except for our hangup trying to see some things, escape was easy.

Light on puzzle content, and what there is, is ambiguously clued. Hints are "First come first served" since a single GM was servicing 3 separate games.

Overall I cannot recommend HDs games at all the clues for puzzles are narratively disconnected connected from the room and often require intuitive leaps and/or previous escape room experience. Quite often a game also requires a dexterity element such as doing a puzzle that you cannot physically see or crawling multiple times through a small opening.

Several props did not work

Ignored requests for help also interrrupted our game as they couldn’t find a prop from the room we had done before this one

Meh. We did the room when it was not “haunted”. Maybe now it’s better? This company is not the best when it comes to great game play though, so I’d pass if you’re looking for a really great game.
