The Curse of Fall Mountain - Haunted Great Outdoors Ch. II

Curse of Fall Mountain had a good atmosphere, but also had multiple tech issues that impacted the game. At least one puzzle had what I thought was unclear signposting about what we should do, with multiple viable interpretations; unfortunately, this also had tech issues, so even though we had done the right thing, it didn't register, and we went off on wrong paths from there. And what should have been a satisfying and climatic ending fizzled because of tech issues. I believe this is one of North Valley's older games, so to some extent this is understandable - things break, and puzzle design has evolved over the years. It's an OK game with a good structure, but it needs some maintenance.

I’m not usually the biggest fan of haunted/scary escape rooms, but I really enjoyed myself on this one. The puzzles were interesting and different and flowed really well. The set was immersive and really wowed me. Of the 3 rooms we did today at NVER, this was my favorite. You should absolutely do it!

Some of the most fun we’ve EVER had in an escape room! The atmosphere, scares, sense of building suspense, and pacing were absolutely pitch perfect. The effects were awesome, there was a great mix of tech and mechanical locks to make things both fun and satisfying, and the puzzles were seamless and incredibly tight: they made perfect logical sense and all flowed into each other. And our GM was fantastic! This was so much fun!!!

Large, fun room with Halloween props and jump scares, although admittedly I enjoyed the OG Great Outdoors much better.

Set relies a little too heavily on off-the-shelf haunted house props, and we burned a bit of time on a prominent item that turned out to be a red herring. A fun room but not as strong as Intrepid Explorer or Arizona Steampunk Railroad.

This is a solid room that gets better as you go. The set was good and it had a couple of nice surprises. The puzzles were a mixed bag, but I found a couple of them to be clever. The end game activity was a lot of fun and the staff at NVER are great. They love their jobs and were fun to talk with.

This room gets off to a rough start the first room, honestly is Brainy Actz quality, but by the third room, it gets really good, with the second room being just alright. It had some really neat puzzles, a fun atmosphere to explore, and a nice overarching story. Staff here is great as well.

This was a really big and fun game. We had a great time and our game master sure knows how scare us
