When we first open a time portal we send one of our scientists back to make sure everything is ok and it is all safe and stable – we sent Edith, but unfortunately she hasn’t returned… We’ve now lost communication with her, but we do know that she was trying to shut the portal down when something stopped her. We need your team to finish the job – we would go ourselves but we’re too scared.

Possibly not the best choice for my first ever horror room... had to tap out after 28 minutes! So creepy it was quite hard to concentrate on the puzzles in hand, a couple of jump scares - when we quit, the GM showed us round the rest of the room and explained what would have happened if we'd carried on which was really interesting, but I'm very glad we left when we did! Great use of space, lighting and sound to enhance the creepy vibe - if you love horror games, definitely do it!

Terrifying - all the spooky things, flickering lights, creepy props, eerie music, walkie talkie for clues!

Jay our room runner was absolutely fantastic, had us laughing from start to end and ran the game brilliantly. I didn't think I'd be so scared but I was screaming and on edge most of the game. Thank you for the great time and will be coming back to play more of the rooms
Gameplay
Some of the puzzles were skill based so I can see why some people may not like that but we did alright with them and had fun
Atmosphere
Out of the 3 of us, I was terrified and on edge but in a fun way, I loved the creepy design of parts of the room and the lights emerged me into the theme
Customer service
Jay was very professional and funny, made sure we were ready for the game with the health and safety

⭐️⭐️ Sad to say, I’m a little disappointed by our experience with Edith. I was led to believe this would be a full on, intense horror experience with live actors and jump scares. Which never occurred. Now, I’m not good with scary things but I want to be able to fully experience an immersive room. Granted, I was scared upon entry to the room (as the hype had built it up so much) but this quickly faded. The main scares came from cutting the lights and (I assume) our GM banging on doors. Underwhelming, really. The puzzles were relatively easy, no real challenge. At one point we seemed to have progressed too quickly, so our GM led us to a different space only for us to have already solved the puzzle we needed, effectively wasting around 5 minutes of our time. As a team who regularly play rooms, maybe we were working quickly as we have grown used to such game mechanics. But after completing Edith in under half an hour has left a somewhat sour taste - doesn’t feel worth the price. That being said, we did get a record time and our host was absolutely lovely. He could see I was panicking before entering the room and reassured me that I’d be fine. Clearly very passionate about his work and was happy to explain things we worked through so quickly that other party members missed. All in all, a somewhat disappointing experience with a lovely host.
Gameplay
Very few puzzles. Of these, not many were difficult.
Atmosphere
Heavy reliance on music and partial to full blackouts. Could’ve done so much more
Customer service
Lovely guy, very welcoming and fun to talk to! Felt like there were issues with how he ran our game though.
Particularly interesting or different
No
The hype surrounding this room provides more scare factor than the room itself.
Story
Felt brushed over within the room and some things didn’t make sense to me. Wasted opportunity to make this a bigger, scarier story. We never found Edith and I am led to believe this is the whole point of the game.
Difficulty
Easy
No trouble at all, really.
Game tech
Middle of the road. Mixture of tech and padlocks.

Played just fine, if not quickly, as a team of 5. I’d recommend no more than 6 - some small and righ spaces
Scary
Spooky
Not bad at all, tense music at best. I scared myself more than any aspect of the room itself

It leads you to believe there are, but no actor outwardly enters the room as you’re playing

Just the entrance and exit
Accessibility
Mobility will be an issue. And so will people who are hard of hearing - walkie talkie and audio clue system.

Awful room. Loud suspense music. Some jump scares. Dark, couldn’t see to the point of it being ridiculous. Not many actual puzzles, too much focus on scares. One of our party left after 25 minutes.
