The location of this game alone is incredible and really adds to the spooky feel. Charlotte was incredibly friendly, super knowledgeable and evidently a massive escape room enthusiast! We were made to feel welcome and we could’ve geeked out about escape rooms all day! Iona was an absolutely phenomenal actor in our games. The use of live actors often puts people off but this use was tasteful, helped develop the story and wasn’t just there to scare you. The game flows incredibly well; there’s signposting to help the flow of the game but it’s so subtle, it does not just hand you the information. There were a few jump scares but I’d consider this more thriller than horror! This is one of few rooms I’ve done in which the story is actually interesting and helps the immersion. Highly Recommend!

The game flows incredibly well; there’s signposting to help the flow of the game but it’s so subtle, it does not just hand you the information.

Atmosphere

The set design, the sound, the lighting were all absolutely phenomenal. You immediately forget you’re in an escape room.

Can’t say without spoilers.

Story

This is one of few rooms I’ve done in which the story is actually interesting and helps the immersion. Without just shoehorning a story of a killer in without it serving purpose.

Honestly an amazing escape room. So good we came straight out and did chapter 2 as we had to know how it ended. Atmosphere was incredible from the moment you walked in the door.

So many twists, turns, and WTF moments—in a good way! These GMs are something else. They really tailor the experience to your group, adjusting both the difficulty and the scare factor—even down to what they call “Disney level” for kids 😆. The production value was incredibly high, too. They put so much care into creating the sets and were clearly proud to show us how they brought everything to life. One of the funniest, scariest, and most engaging escape rooms I’ve ever done!

Outstanding from start to finish, straight into our best games ever. Not usually drawn to horror games, game is much more about emersion and spooky rather than classic jump scares etc. Well done guys!

This is in my top... Well, top several because I have several rooms I love for different and incomparable reasons. But the location, setting, design, staff, and puzzles of the cabin are all first class and we all came out of it raving about it and didn't stop talking about the puzzles we liked and the little quirks we appreciated for hours afterwards. It's an essential room to play I think.

Gameplay

It's always interesting to see how games incorporate live actors and in this one it's not just a question of them being there to give you clues, you actually need them to help you. And the quality of the acting added to the immersiveness.

Atmosphere

It was really atmospheric... Tense, creepy, and very immersive, without being jumpy

I will start by saying this is my favourite all round escape room I have done along with the follow on escape room called the basement The host Bradley was great starting you off getting you immersed in to the story of what has happened and what you could be expecting from this serial killers cabin Theming and details on point it looks outstanding Amazing puzzles though out which are all fun and relatable and all quite different from each other Loads of twist and turns along the way with some outstanding elements and surprises Very immersive and a great story behind it as soon as it finished I said if the follow up escape room (the basement) is free now then get me in there and take my money !! Spoiler alert it was and that was also outstanding Highly recommended! But book both at same time trust me you will not be disappointed lol

Fantastic theming! There were times where you had to climb stairs and crawl around, so be aware of that. There is a live actor with you. The set feels very immersive. Highly recommend.
