27 escape rooms
Another incredible and immersive escape room from pandora. We came back and did this one after doing Alcatraz. I really wanted to do this one as I am a big fan of the shutter island book. A thing to note about this room is it’s really hard. There aren’t many clues, but the ones in the room are quite tricky and we used a lot of hints. The room is very physical, with a lot of crawling and climbing. The very end was super cool and involved something I’ve never seen in an escape room, and likely never will again. The conclusion of the narrative was different to the plot of the book which I also enjoyed as it was something different.

Scary
Spooky
Based on solely the atmosphere, it was scary due to how immersive it was. There were not any jumpscares or moments of darkness, however when you solve a puzzle towards the end of the room it makes a loud noise which due to the sudden nature of it, could be slightly scary.
