2 escape rooms
Serial Killer was a pretty fun game, it started off kinda like every other escape room, once we were all handcuffed and put into the room it was pretty spooky. We struggled a little bit with the final puzzle, but got out still wearing our cuffs. My group just didnt look for the handcuff key. After talking to the staff one of them explained they started letting people choose how scary the experience can be. They sometimes run rooms with no actor in them and guest just start handcuffed at the start, and they dont do any scares at all. The room is a little gorey with fake arms and body props ain't the first room My group wanted as scary as possible, because why not. Once we got past the rules and on-boarding process, our GM personality changed they played the part of the serial killer perfectly. Even did an outfit change (after bagging and handcuffing us to our start) and couple of pop and jumpscares. It made the game a little hard. And time pressure really got to us, we had about 40 to 30 seconds left when we finally got out. The ending of the game was really well set up, the exit is terrifying (it one of the rooms at the haunted house, that happens to be right next to the escape room, has some REALISTIC body props made by their FX team. My group chatted their ears off for sure.
Gameplay
Storyline Seemed pretty simple and basic but once it got started it was very immersive. Before we started someone asked us how scared we wanted it, the answer you give changes how pg-13 they go. You can start handcuffed and bagged or just handcuff. (They were very clear they do not do Landon during a room but can have an actor do scares and come into the room upon request)
Atmosphere
They use on of the rooms inside of Castle of Chaos. So the moment you go into the basement, it turns spooky.
Customer service
Staff were very kind, I met serial different staff some of them Seemed a little nervous but our GM was kind while doing rules and the set up, once the game started we had a whole new personality, that was very cool.
