The Dark Room

The least fun escape room I’ve ever done. You basically stumble around in the dark looking for tiny things and if you miss one you probably can’t solve the puzzle. The dim light gave me eye strain, it was barely even possible to read the numbers on the combination locks. Was only able to escape because I brute force guessed multiple puzzle answers, which is unsatisfying. Also the story was essentially nonexistent. Would highly recommend you avoid this one unless you find torture fun.

I did this room with my 10-year-old daughter, we went into it knowing both that it would be dark and spooky and also difficult with only two people. Despite not escaping we absolutely loved the room and the experience. The story was fascinating and the way that the game master shares clues and lets you know how much time you have left is so unique and just contributes to the atmosphere. The set was definitely one of the more unique ones that I have been in, I would call it haunting. We especially appreciated the fact that even though we didn't escape our GM walked us through the final puzzles including letting my daughter actually do them. It's so fun to go to places like this where the staff are clearly passionate about what they do. We will definitely come back and do another room.

Fun, slightly spooky escape room in the dark with small flashlights. Really great for a date, and good selection of puzzles but the creepy atmosphere (and knocking on the door to pass hints) helped make it a better experience. The game master was nice and gave us an extra minute since we were on the very final step.

Clue system was unique. It was a fun room, not scary but it had a creepy vibe. Game master was friendly and did a great job. Room was a little difficult for two people (which we were warned of in advance) but we were more just there for the experience and didn’t mind that we didn’t get out (very first room to not escape)

Immaculate vibes. Really cool story behind it. Puzzles were a bit challenging and we fumbled a bit. For the most part, pretty intuitive one main thing that we didn't solve but still escaped through some luck. Would definitely try other rooms here. GM watches and listens to give relevant clues through slips of paper under the door.

Very unique and interesting setup. Also the story line is amazing. Great combination of high tech and manual puzzles. Great for both adults and kids

I am a bit confused by reviews because anyone who is going to play “The Dark Room” should expect the room to be DARK or at least dimly lit. There are were 4 of us and we all though that puzzles were a lot of fun and the perfect level of challenging. Good story lining and our guide was fantastic!

This game is focused on the story. The game isn't actually that dark; rather, the story is. The puzzles require collaboration multiple times. The set is pretty bare. The timing system is pretty unique and on theme. Overall, the game is fine

Like the name suggests, you start off being left in a dark room with some dim flashlights. Most of the difficulty is in being able to keep track of things with limited light sources. That said, that did add an additional layer of creepiness to the experience and the overall story. I think you could probably skip most of the story elements and work your way through this escape room but there were story elements around if you wanted them. I did make the room more exciting by thinking the room had a jump scare (there isn’t one) and telling the rest of the party that there was going to be one. My anxiety ramped up as the room went on which was actually a positive for ambiance. The set dressings themselves were pretty sparse in the beginning and the ending to the room was a let down. Most of the middle was a fun (and terrifying in my head) time.
