Captive Escape Rooms

The Witch

Escape room

This was our first multi-room experience so we were thrown off when we opened a box with a key that didn't fit the one lock that was left. Turns out that lock was just to keep people from opening the potion cabinet and considering the objective of the room is to find the witch's potion, I'm sure a lot of people have tried to open it. The key ended up going to a deadbolt on a door that wasn't decorated or anything to match the room. We thought it was an emergency door or something. The final door isn't locked so we initially walked through the second room and out realizing where was stuff to do in the room. It was dark besides a couple of decorations. We did find the flashlights and were able to complete everything and escape. 

The staff were fun and helpful. You can use unlimited hints but if you use 2 or less you're able to qualify for their leader boards. There is a doorbell in the room and the GM comes to the room to give a hint. I liked this to other rooms we've done that use screens. We had to physically ask for help rather than a hint popping up because we look stuck. The location also had props for photo opportunities and a place to wait between rooms if you're doing more than one. We enjoyed it and did another room at the location right after.

We booked the room thinking the difficulty would be exactly what we were hoping for as it is rated an 8.5/10 and there was just two of us. I would rate this more of a 4/10. It’s a very linear room with no real variety of puzzles, mostly just letter locks.

Great atmosphere. Large number of puzzles to solve but not overly difficult. Great location though and friendly staff.
