Blackwell Manor

Wow! Amazing production value, I really felt like we were in the families home ! Really tests your memory

Great game with tons of cool tech. Completely linear, and a couple of Simon puzzles, but almost all of the puzzles are presented in a way that requires the players to work together so it's NOT just one player solving the one puzzle available while the other players stand around. Also some great "jump scares", but no gore at all, just family-friendly spookiness. The game contains a LOT of fog, so if you're allergic to fog juice bring a mask. I'd heard this billed as a "two story" room, which is incorrect; there's a second story to the main room, but it's inaccessible to the players.

This was a fantastic game. The set is unbelievably good, the puzzles were all fair and logical, and the finale is really cool. If you like horror games, 100% check this one out!

One of my favorite rooms in all of Albuquerque! The set feels huge. Much of the story is linear, and while I usually prefer a more open adventure, this one was extremely well crafted. While I love a scary escape room, this was only medium-scary - perfect to drag along friends who are a little more mainstream!

If you want to be immersed in a haunted mansion that is incredibly well made and also has a great story, definitely play this room. The set: To start, the set with this room is phenomenal, you get all the parts to a haunted mansion. Everything inside immediately immerses you. This is top notch set production. The story: With this room, I was absolutely blown away by how well the designers managed to tell the story to the audience. You get a front row seat to see and feel how the family that once was in this house lived and interacted. Your sight, smell, hearing, and touch will all be encapsulated which furthermore makes the story be much more compelling and memorable. The Puzzles: I enjoyed quite a few of the puzzles in this room. A lot of the puzzles are on the more interactive side but it fits the room really well. This all goes with saying that one puzzle in the later part of the room was not very enjoyable to solve. I will say this room is not about the puzzles though.

This is a very well done horror room that does everything right when it comes to the beautiful set and the well-crafted story. Some of the action in this room is jarring in a great way, and things I have not seem in any other rooms. This is a room that I recommend very highly.

Blackwell Manor has some of the most beautiful sets I’ve ever seen in an escape room. The exterior facade plus the interior of the house are next level. I absolutely loved the atmosphere. The puzzles are good, not great. Some of the puzzles are things I’ve seen before. One puzzle is particularly frustrating but overall we enjoyed it.

It is absolutely worth playing this room for the set design alone. The puzzles are pretty easy and the hint system is context-aware, so I think it would be hard to fail to get out of this room even for a team of total novices. Just enjoy the atmosphere and don’t feel like you have to rush through. There aren’t that many puzzles and the game is linear, so enjoy the audiovisual payoff of solving things and soak up the spooky haunted house atmosphere! Recommended.

The first truly immersive escape room I experienced in New Mexico. I've done this room multiple times just to watch others do it. The puzzles I have to admit are very easy. The immersion, story and set design is the biggest plus to this room. Especially for someone like me, who scares easily, I was thoroughly entertained. I'd recommend this as an introduction to escape rooms. Kept me wanting more; I hope they make a room like this but harder.
