The DeLaporte Family coffers have run dry and the city is threatening to put the house up for a tax sale. You are called to investigate the dark and cramped wine cellar, as it was rumored that Silver Dollar Sam and his band of rum runners once used it as a storehouse. Can you find enough loot to help save the DeLaporte home, or will you be stuck forever by one of the many booby traps?

I thought this room was very fun! Being in total darkness was a very unique experience. The plot and puzzles weren’t revolutionary, but the difficulty was elevated by the darkness
The puzzles were challenging but not too hard to figure out - we never got frustrated :)
The place was completely decked out, very on theme TW for taxidermy!
The GM was very nice!
Yes
It is played in pitch darkness - no flashlights allowed!
The story honestly felt secondary to the puzzles, but I wasn’t too bothered by that
Medium
Being in the dark definitely added a layer of difficulty. The room isn’t very big but I got lost a couple of times
Mechanical
Very basic mechanics, locks and puzzles

Smaller groups are better for this room, I played with 5 people and it was a tad chaotic
Not scary
Unless you’re inherently afraid of darkness there is nothing to be scared of

Only thing is you need to be able to crawl on your hands and knees
You have to be able to walk up a flight of stairs and crawl on your hands and knees for this room

The location was clearly signed - when you first go in you’ll question if you’re in the right place or not: you are!!

Rating: 3.5/5 - Enjoyed the blackout concept, good execution Pros: ➕ I'm a sucker for concepts that take away some of your senses. This is the 2nd pitch black room I've played and is much better than the other one I did elsewhere. ➕ Fun puzzles, even in the part that was lit up. ➕ Immersion starts at the entrance to the building, the GM played a character for the intro. ➕ The building itself was interesting and had an unique vibe for an escape room company. ➕ More than a single room. ➕ Mostly sensor based tech with some padlocks. ➕ GM was friendly, though we didn't really need any hints. Room for improvement: ➖ The story doesn't really tie in to the manor as much as the other 2 rooms. ➖ Wish the room was longer with more puzzles ➖ The rooms here are already pretty expensive, but the 45 min room is the same price as the 60 minute ones. We played as a team of 3 enthusiasts and finished with plenty of time left, it is not a difficult room, I'd recommend 3 enthusiasts. My ranking of all 3 rooms I played here (Inventor's Attic wasn't open): 1. Smuggler's Den 2. Jazz Parlor 3. Mardi Gras Study

I thoroughly enjoyed the experience from the moment I walked thru their door to the moment I exited. Highly recommend.
They flowed very well
Immersive, the game master played a character making you feel part of the investigation
The staff were kind and professional. Started us early since we arrived early.

It gets a like instead of a love because it is absolutely ridiculously, overly overpriced especially for A 45 MINUTE ROOM! Even for a standard 60 minute room, it's expensive. I will say I personally had a blast in the room as I tend to love sensory depriving rooms where you have to utilize your other senses. My fiance and partner in escape however wasn't nearly as thrilled with it as I was and she makes a solid point that there are literally like 6 puzzles total for $144 (group of two price....) If the argument is being made that there's a 4 person minimum or something and that's why it's retarded expensive, that goes out the window because you would be hard pressed to physically fit more than 2.

I enjoyed this! Definitely took a learning curve to gain confidence walking around in the dark, but the puzzles were clever for the pitch black situation. The ending was a little anti-climatic, but overall super fun!
Well, it was pretty dark.
Great GM! Very helpful hints without just straight-up explaining the puzzles.

Stabbed by a random screw on the floor while crawling around in the dark. Customer service afterward was pretty bad. Pitch dark room meant to require you to feel around in the dark to solve puzzles, but my hand was punctured by a screw randomly lying on the floor. It wasn’t too bad but skin was slightly punctured. This wasn’t a big deal but seriously being in the pitch black requires a bit of trust, there should never be sharp objects at all on the floor and due diligence should be taken between games to ensure safety. After the incident I alerted the GM just to let them know. They forced us to exit mid-game to inspect it and take pictures. The whole ordeal took probably 5-10 minutes of distraction, talking, her walking up and then us getting back into the game. She offered us TWO minutes additional time to finish. And refused to just let us finish (we needed about five minutes) and was rude and rushed us out. You would think that as an I’m sorry they’d let us finish the last puzzle. The sad part is that it would have gotten a heart instead of thumbs down. Just goes to show that customer service is half the experience… theirs ruined it for us.
No flow at all. It’s a dark room and puzzles are not connected. You just are collecting things and that’s the end once you collect them all.
Outside waiting area was well done, it poised to be one of the best experiences we thought we’d have - shame
They should be serious coached both on safety and customer service

Novel approach to having a fully dark room the puzzles required other senses.
Non existent. The story was a few sentences and essentially you just collected things in the dark.
