Ghost Stories

Me and my team drove a long way to Brain Games cuz their reputation preceded them. I’d heard very good things about Flynn’s Arcade but when traveling so far we had to do a second, so we started with this room. This room had so much to do but nothing you could do at the same time as your other teammates. That only became an issue when we realized that we went a couple minutes over at the end. As a team who’ve played a combined 300+ rooms, we usually know how to bide our time, but with no timer in the room we were left wondering how teams with kids finish within the hour. The in-room help was the driving force telling us where to look next, but that was the gimmick, not an overbearing or doubtful third party, so I felt it was okay. At best the constant help from the GM was welcome and charming, at worst it was hand-holdy. A lot of the puzzles were fun to solve with only a few feeling somewhat underbaked; if they maybe trimmed a bit of the fat I think it would fit neatly into 60 minutes. But the set design is gorgeous, the physical activities themselves are fun, and you can tell a lot of heart and thought went into it.

Very spooky, great atmosphere. Good logic to the game and I liked that they didn't try to go too deep into horror or crazy jump scares.

I had a fantastic time. I’m very much not good with scary rooms and this was more scooby doo/detectives/ghostbusters/gravity falls/goosebumps. No real jump scares when we went and we thought it was more funny than scary. But that can likely change based on who you get as your gm. I can definitely see how the game master can make or break this game. It’s also definitely a game where you get out the energy you put in. It’s very gm driven/heavy. We had Jon and we enjoyed our experience and had a good time! I didn’t think there were any too hard puzzles and they were all themed pretty well and fit with the story. LOTS of running around, and the game starts at the top of a set of stairs. I’ve never been this out of breath in a game in a hot minute.

This is a really fun room with guided gameplay. The game master was totally awesome and made it super fun for us! The puzzles aren’t very challenging but it’s atmospheric and we had a great time!

We went on a whim for my 13 yr old's birthday and it was a cool experience. I was more freaked out than my kids but Greg was great and we will be back to do the pirate themed one!

Worst room at this location unfortunately. Game master holds your hand through every single puzzle, which are all way too easy. Nothing scary despite the ghost theme.

Quite a memorable game, with a large number of puzzles that were really fun to interact with, all brought to life by an incredibly detailed environment, props large and small, and a very funny and unique guide to every nook and cranny of the space.

Holy number of puzzles to finish, batman!!!! Such fun interactions with Greg our GM throughout, this room. I don’t know what else to say about this room but it was full of twists and turns and it’s a definitely must do room!

Fun, unique game! I have not done a story line like this one! The GM interacts quite a bit in a fun way. Lots of puzzles, recommend at least 4 players

Thank you to Jon for making this an absolutely incredible experience! This theme wasn’t something I was expecting to particularly love but the designs of the puzzles combined with Jon’s ability to make a linear room non-linear made this incredible for our group. This is another experience at this location that you should absolutely know as little as possible about before starting. We had 2 people who were first-time escape room players, and 1 child and this was a perfect introductory room for them as it was very clear what items went with each puzzle. I loved the 🐻!
