Zoe: Reborn

This was the absolute scariest game! This game really lived up to its expectations where you actually think to your self “am I safe?” In the absolute best way haha! We can’t wait for their new experiences to open soon

My sister flew down to do this as we’d done the original game before it was “Reborn” and we were big fans. Everyone who worked the game was super nice. HOWEVER: we went during a high volume time and they included a “guide” with us who basically was a character who solved all the puzzles for us, so we’d get through the room quickly enough for the next group to get through. While some of the action was thrilling and scary, some of it felt unsafe. They were dragging us around - contact is fine, as they said they would be doing this - but at one point they were shoving us around and I was on the ground and because it was dark my brother in law tripped on my head. I think this is super unsafe. Waivers might cover it but I didn’t really feel like the immersion was worth potential serious injury caused by the actors. Room mishaps, fine. In the end, we were all annoyed by the manhandling over the actual scares, and the lack of puzzles. The original Zoe relied on tension and fear, and this one is just a kick in the face.

I have been searching for months now to feel the same way in other local horror escape rooms that I felt in Zoe: Reborn and nothing can compare. This truly is the scariest escape room in the entire US. The fear and adrenaline I felt in this room is beyond comprehension. If you love horror you NEED to do this room. I cannot stress this enough! If you see negative reviews, they just couldn’t handle the intensity of this room (which they advertise everywhere) good luck, have fun, and don’t be last!

Honestly, it felt more like they were just physically abusing us, haha. I guess some people might find that scary but it was more annoying to me than fun or scary. Also, the puzzles weren’t really there. I’d say it’s more akin to a Haunt than an Escape Room.

Crazy atmosphere. Puts you right into the heart of your own horror movie and you won’t see the slasher until it’s too late… staff is extremely immersive and the chance to get your own audio+video highlight clips is awesome. Definitely recommend🙌🏻

I did the Zoe reborn escape room a couple weeks ago on their purgatory mode and they were doing this really cool thing where they had a live actor playing a team alpha survivor being your hint system within the game it made the whole thing way more immersive and it heightened the feeling of danger whilst you were inside

We played Purgatory mode, their most extreme mode only offered I believe around Halloween. Zoe Reborn is definitely more of an extreme haunt rather than an escape room. I got physically thrown around, tased, dragged and force fed bugs. The puzzles were sparse and simple. Overall a different experience, and not for everyone. One point I disagree with here was that one of our group members is vegetarian, and was forced to tap out when our actor tried to feed her bugs. (Not due to fear.) Forcing a vegetarian to eat meat, otherwise you fail the escape room isn’t really cool in my eyes, luckily the staff were understanding and let her back in. Jorin the owner was cool and talked to us before our room, and our actors Winston and Destiny were fantastically scary!

Zoe Reborn is an experience all right. As one of the first official “scary” escape rooms I’ve ever done, this will be one to remember. My group did “Purgatory Mode” and there is a second waiver that they will ask you to fill out which lets them tase you, put repulsive things in your mouth, and other physical acts. The actors want to give you a good scare without actually harming you though. So just know that coming in. You get as much as you put in. For the puzzles themselves, it felt to me that the flow or story didn’t make sense and there was a little too much guidance from one of the actors, which can take us out of the immersion a little bit. There were some moments when I could hear him talk on his earpiece and maybe I was just too observant but I wonder if less guidance could make the immersion better. The music could be distracting at times too. I’ve done a thriller escape room before and they were able to incorporate the music in such a way that you knew when to be scared, which actually increased the scare factor. The music and the lore did not do it for me. We did find out though that they have 30 minute increments for booking and so, they were probably just trying to get the next group to come in at their scheduled time. Maybe there was too much guidance because they had a lot of groups coming in. It was a busy lobby! Now for the service, the owner and the staff were great. We needed a few accommodations and they were able to make those happen. Thank you so much! Overall, I will remember this escape room but I won’t necessarily say that this was my favorite because the storyline and the puzzles were convoluted. They did bring the scare on though! If I expected more of a haunted house, this would have definitely been higher up in my rankings.

Game was super fun! Actors did their job great at keeping the anxiety ramped up. The lead investigator helped a lot when we got stuck a few times. Helped the game flow smooth as butter
