The Basement: Unhinged

It was a solid room. It seemed more oriented towards being an “experience”. Puzzles weren’t very difficult.

Good design helped with the immersion.

Staff was attentive and helpful.

It didn’t blow my mind.

Story and immersion were the best feature of this experience.

It felt too easy, especially when the live actor became a participant and started doing puzzles for us.

Mostly tech.

More players might actually be good in this room. It’s pretty big and there are a lot of sub-rooms.

I didn’t think it was too scary. Gave “psych ward” vibes.

A little older would probably be best for this room.

There was a thing that needed assembled, and the threads were stripped out on one piece. It didn’t adversely affect the experience too much though. We were still able to do what we needed to do.

I generally don’t like live actors in escape rooms. At least they weren’t there to be obnoxious or try to scare us. I feel like it would be easy to make the live actor optional in this room. That would have improved the experience for me.

At least one person needs to be able to crawl. Let the game master know at the beginning if you can’t crawl.

It could be a pretty accessible room. There is a puzzle that involves listening, and one that requires some height though. There are also some tight spaces.

Found easily.

Street parking. We went on a weekday evening so it wasn’t bad. I imagine it could be tricky during busy times though.

I mean, being told to look in the camera at the beginning and verbally consent to being murdered didn’t help. 🤷‍♂️

This was the most interactive escape my wife and I have done yet, we managed to escape with 2 minutes left! I really recommend it for new escapees who are trying it out definitely worth the money!

It felt like we were trapped in a movie amazing vibes and the actor was so good

All of the staff were amazing we ended up leaving a 10 dollar tip for each staff member!

It is scary at first then it kinda dwindled just because you start to get used to the atmosphere

Excellent staff. Very friendly and helpful.

The live actor always makes a game interesting!

Linear, but the puzzles are all clean. Nothing especially difficult but you always solve things more slowly when you are trying to escape the deathtrap of a serial killer. The rooms are dim but not totally dark and you do get a couple of flashlights.

You will have to split up initially but it isn’t the sort of game that requires a lot of people working on multiple things at the same time. I wouldn’t do it with more than 4 as some of the spaces are small.

Lots of implied death and mayhem but mostly it is just implied. There are unavoidable references to torture.

Not really appropriate for younger kids.

The live actor is an integral part of the story.

Some crawling and stooping is required.

Not accessible.

Medium with hints from the staff. Could maybe have been hard with fewer hints.

SPOILERS Very creepy theming, but no jump scares and actor is not a haunted house style “chaser”

Crawling for 1 person. Otherwise fully accessible for people with physical disabilities
