Ghost Light

What an absolutely delightful room! I ran this room solo during a long layover back from my trip to Athens, and it was nice seeing a very well executed 60 minute room after experiencing some of the best long running escape rooms on my trip. The GM was fantastic, puzzles were satisfying to solve with a few having really good layers of connection making for a more complex solve.

Ghost Light was another elegant, almost literary game with a wonderful use of light. It was truly magical how they used various light sources as cluing, from large to small, obvious and subtle. In general, it was an excellent puzzle game - everything flowed so smoothly! If you’re seeking the perfect execution of a classic escape room with some added magic, play Ghost Light!

The puzzles were very intuitive and satisfying to solve!

So cute! Very fun!

these folks don’t miss. this is a really cool, singular idea with a lot of magic. we had a buzzer-beater photo finish w/ 3 of us (1 who we just met that night), but we got 2 correction hints (for puzzles we understood but executed wrong), so it wasn’t clean, but i didn’t have the heart to tell our game master not to give unsolicited hints this time, so it wasn’t their fault.

Great room, dont miss it. Bigger for this facility, with interesting story. Only slightly inferior to The Bird.

Beware if you have allergies to common fragrances, but the staff was super helpful and nice and got it sorted for us. Just make sure you ask. Super, super, super nice place and great room with amazing staff.

I love the real theater type game experience with few surprises.

This is one of those rooms where I kept thinking that I knew EXACTLY what to do on a puzzle...and it turns out I didn't. Close, but no cigar. Happened on a few of them and I'm quite honestly unsure whether myself or the clueing needed a little work. It was probably me because I still found the room enjoyable, although it lacked the ending satisfaction of a TRULY excellent room. The theme was novel, the GMs were awesome, and although I'm not a big fan of the written clue system, this was probably the best I've seen it done. I enjoyed The Bird a lot more (did not get to do any other rooms) but this is worth playing too.

Of all the 3 rooms, found this to be the easiest (and shortest) by far. We finished the room in 34 minutes with our group of 5, no hints, and we were told by our GM that it was a top 5 performance for Mysstic rooms, for which we felt honored. I did remember saying out loud after finishing the room, “That’s it?” which betrayed a sense of disappointment in myself wishing there was more I guess. With that said, lest I sound like I’m complaining, some really creative and beautiful set design that added to an immersive and fairly satisfying experience. This one is a decent heart rating for me. Surprised however to see this above The Bird for finalist in TERPECA 2025. 🤷‍♂️
