Edith

Edith was our first ‘scary’ escape room and scary it was. The theming was great, lots of suspense, low light and a sense of ‘danger’ the room flows and you’re constantly gripped to the edge of your seat, only… the room doesnt have alot to do or puzzles to solve and this is primarily because you’re on edge or scared its harder to focus and you get hit with plenty of distractions, so if you’re easily spooked or distracted the amount of puzzles is probably perfect for the 60min you get in there but when you’re seasoned escapers who arent easily spooked you can get out quite quickly.

A very creepy room. Some great elements of tense horror. Only downside was we occasionally struggled to communicate with each other based on how loud the soundtrack was at times.

Edith is renowned as a scary room and event though we played during the pandemic.  I won't go into the backstory but the decor and lighting turn this into a suitable atmospheric room with some intriguing and infuriating puzzles needed to advance.  There's one key moment that made this room stand out for me which is when the team is forced to split up to accomplish a task.  I'm torn as to how scary this is as YMMV...

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!

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

If you like a scary room then this is one for you! I loved it. Fun unique way to get into the room. Excellent atmosphere and a good selection of puzzles!

⭐️⭐️ 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.

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.

Intense room with live actor. Mostly very dark set. Enjoy- if you like this kind of room ;)
