68 escape rooms
Atmospheric, thoughtfully designed and genuinely spooky. One of the most creative haunted escape room experiences I’ve ever played. This is especially true due to the interesting inclusion and use of worn tech, that (without spoiling anything) not only cleverly enhances the theme, but also really personalizes the mood and scares for everyone. I would describe the scare factor as “accessibly spooky”. This isn’t super scary or frightening, but it’s really good for those who want a few scares that can’t handle intense haunted attractions. It’s 70% psychological/atmosphere and 30% actual frights. The scares are guaranteed to make anyone in your party yelp! From a layout/design standpoint, it’s actually rather simple. The set design, coupled with being mostly in darkness, and the use of a shared light source in a haunted environment just really gives perfect heeby jeeby vibes like something is always lurking around the corner. I mean it when I say the atmosphere is impeccably unnerving in how genuinely realistic and cursed it feels. You’re even smacked with the scent and feeling of a warm, musky building that’s been sitting abandoned for a while as you enter (which is actually part of the story). The attention to detail here is really just great. Puzzles and the clue system are also wonderfully on theme, with everything fitting the tone, and the puzzle logic not being really obtuse or unintuitive. Each puzzle escalates the stakes and naturally builds the intensity of the story. We got through this with almost 20 minutes to spare, which might be my only peeve because I wish it was longer with just how great it was (we were absolutely taking our time not rushing/soaking in everything in too). We are, also, seasoned vets at this point so you might not get through it as quickly as we did if you’re more of a casual player. If you’re looking for something different, it’s really a fun spooky time 👻
