In the late 19th century, during an ill-fated Halloween service, the deranged minister of Crickley Church decided to kill his entire congregation after their confessions had convinced his twisted mind that they had, among themselves, committed the 7 Deadly Sins. In order to punish them for their sins, the evil minister passed around poisoned bread and wine. As the congregation choked on their last breaths, the minister incited a curse on the children playing in the rooms beneath the church, and then buried himself alive in the churchβs hidden crypt, determined to haunt the church forevermore. Your Great Grandfather was one of those innocent children. You began to think back on the mysterious deaths of family members and close friends ever since that fateful night. Trawling the many ancestry websites to gather your evidence leads to a terrifying conclusion. Every year on Halloween someone related to a member of the congregation dies an unnatural death. As you study the pattern of these accidents and the people involved you discover that you are next - and time is running out... In your panic, you contact the American Paranormal Society and they have told you that the only way to end the curse is to find the body of the evil minister and drive a sacred dagger through the remnants of his heart. This will lift the curse, and the souls of the victims will finally be able to rest in peace. Not wishing to take on such a daunting task alone, you have convinced your bravest friends to race to Crickley with you, break into the abandoned Church and find the hidden crypt. You enter the churchyard at 11 pm and the iron gates immediately slam shut behind you, locking you inside. The minister seems to be playing one last trick on you. Can you complete your mission and escape the church before the clock strikes Midnight? Or will you fulfill the curse and your name be the next on a headstone in your familyβs graveyard plot? Find the hidden crypt, find the dagger, and drive it through the heart of the evil minister. Then and only then you will be saved and will destroy the curse forever. Be brave... Stay calm... Work together... But remember... Time is of the essence...

I really went into this expecting it to be something much more than it was. There wasnβt a good flow to the room. I still donβt understand how the title related to the game play.

We have done three escape rooms in the area and this is our favorite so far! We really liked how immersive it was. The staff was great at giving us the hints we needed and not confusing us further π having unlimited hints- you can definitely make this room as hard or as easy as you need it to be!
Gameplay
Flowed really well. The storyline had us hooked from the very beginning
Atmosphere
The most immersive room we have done thus far. A few special effects

Good, challenging room with nice sets and spooky story. We enjoyed the puzzles as they made sense to the room. As always at Escapology, the Game Masters were great.
Gameplay
Puzzles flowed nicely. Linear but it was clear what your objectives were at all times.
Atmosphere
Set design, lighting and sound were great.
Customer service
Our game master was great. We've never had a bad one here!

Nothing too different or original, but still lots of fun.

Story was good and puzzles helped you get to the end to finish the story.

I would put this between medium and hard. We did need a couple of hints along the way to push us in the right direction, but it did make sense.

Any more than 4 and you'll be stepping all over each other.

Couple of jump scare moments, but nothing terrible. You'll be fine. The story is a bit morbid and the theme could be a little scary for little 'uns.

The design of the room intrigues you right off the bat! At the very start of the room, puzzles and challenges to begin with are easy to identify to follow for multitasking within groups. However, as the game moves along, it felt as if you were only able to work in one task at a time up until the very end! If you allow the game master to provide additional hints as well, he/she will not hesitate which makes the room great for individuals who do not feel as if they are "skilled" at escape rooms. Even with these additional freebie hints, we still escaped in 52 minutes without too much being given away.
