The Reading Witch

To say I was apprehensive about my first horror room with actors is an understatement. Playing at night, the day before Halloween and with an unfamiliar team made the experience even more unnerving, but... WOW! What a room… Hats off to the team at Deadlocked, who have crafted a truly memorable experience that had my pulse racing and my brain in overdrive. The perfect blend of theatre, escape room and horror, without skimping on the puzzles. The acting is superb, the sets atmospheric and the puzzles were really fun. The extended runtime really allowed us to fully immerse ourselves in the gripping story, although the time still shot by very quickly. I can totally see why this room was rated number 1 in the UK at the TERPECA awards this year. I only hope that more rooms of this level continue to emerge in the UK!

Deadlocked have achieved near perfection with The Reading Witch, their newest room, which combines theatre, horror and puzzles along with a beautifully detailed and immersive set and a stellar sound track to deliver a unique experience that's not to be missed The story is expertly crafted and woven through the interactions and puzzles in the game that takes the player on a cinematic journey and leaves you wondering what you have experienced and witnessed throughout the 2 HOUR experience. (In the BEST WAY) We were in awe, shock and sometimes abject terror throughout the game, it was simply superb. Thanks to James and Charlie our hosts for delivering a top notch experience. Just go and play, this game is unmissable

Brilliant immersion, great sets & actors. Very attentive game masters who tweak the experience to the players, a must play if you can handle some horror!
