THE SALEM WITCH HUNT The Salem witch trials were a series of hearings and prosecutions of people accused of witchcraft in colonial Massachusetts between February 1692 and May 1693. The trials resulted in the executions of twenty people, fourteen of them women, and all but one by hanging. The episode is one of Colonial America's most notorious cases of apparent mass hysteria. It has been used in political rhetoric and popular literature as a vivid cautionary tale about the dangers of isolationism, religious extremism, false accusations, and lapses in due process. Although the last trial was held in May 1693, public response to the events continued. In the decades following the trials, survivors and family members (and their supporters) sought to establish the innocence of the individuals who were convicted. In November 2001, years after the celebration of the 300th anniversary of the trials, the Massachusetts legislature passed an act exonerating all who had been convicted and naming each of the innocent... but were are any of these accusations warranted? Back In Time has been hired by a descendant of one of the convicted women to travel back to 1692 and conduct an investigation into the accusations of witchcraft. You and your team must gather evidence to either support or refute these accusations. Do you have what it takes to determine the guilt or innocence of this woman and put this question to rest?

What a polished and thoughtful experience! From the thematic lobby to the door that you enter the experience to the room itself, it’s set and scenery driven. The story evolves naturally, and there are a number of thoughtful and surprising reveals. Signposting is clear while still giving players a myriad of aha moments. It’s a spooky atmosphere that’s thematically appropriate, driven home by well-timed lighting and sound cues. Play this immediately!!!

Really enjoyed this room; spooky but not scary. Nice setting and scenery; enjoyed that the puzzles and locks (for the most part) were period-appropriate. GM Ben was very good - liked that he took the time before we began to ask how much guidance we wanted and tailored his hints to our preferences. Staff was friendly and welcoming - we will definitely return to this location. They are also opening a location in Arlington.

Had a lot of cool puzzles, even for me who has done a lot of escape rooms already. Story was overall week, but the atmosphere and the puzzles made up for it.

Our GM was Brady (spelling?) and he's an escape room enthusiast. He had really good energy!

The theme for this place is fun - you’re a time traveler and the different rooms you visit are part of your “mission”. We enjoyed this room with just the four of us - it was the perfect group size for this room. Really liked the decor and mechanisms. Not too linear and was a good difficulty.

First time at this location- Ben was a good game master! Had a rookie escapee in our group of four and they really enjoyed it. The puzzles were interesting and some tech elements helped make things creepy :) going to try the other two rooms they have soon! 👍🏽

The puzzles flowed very well into each other. Lots of stuff popping open, only a few keys. Lots of unique things to do. Over all was very cool and challenging but not too hard. 10/10 recommend to beginners and veterans!
