The local legends tell the history of Vesper Castle as one of terrifying supernatural horror, making it one of the world’s most haunted locations. However, the truth may be something else entirely. The new caretakers of the property have great plans for it, but none of them are possible so long as the spectral activity continues. Can your team of paranormal investigators discern the secret behind the ghostly experiences that happen here every hour and rid this place of fear for good?

A slightly shorter escape room than normal clocking in at a 45 minute time limit makes this room a bit easier to do than others. That said there are a few very clever puzzles, or at least clever implementations, that some groups may get somewhat stuck on for a little while that took us by surprise. The room does make use of them in several places which does slightly up the difficulty vs time aspect. Atmosphere is pretty good, well designed for the theme. Overall a decent quick and easyish room, enough so that we got on the 30 day leaderboard. Our game masters Jonathan, Flavio, and Jenna were fantastic.

Hear no evil, speak no evil—but you just might see evil. Once home to a real haunted doll, this escape room blends tech with classic puzzles. Stay sharp: hidden puzzles are your key to finding the family portrait that will set you free. And if the staff is in a mischievous mood, the mannequin in the tub might not be so lifeless. Escape before the spirits claim you!

I had the best time at PanIQ! Truly a gem among downtown Long Beach. My gamemaster Lizzie was incredible - she was so friendly and helpful and truly made it an unforgettable experience. I played the haunted manor room and I think it’d be great for an experienced group of 2 or a young family of 3-4. spooky, but not too scary! can’t wait to go back and play the rest of their rooms! (btw free 2 hour parking in the DTLB parking lots!)

it was a welcomed challenge for one person! would probably be easy for 2-3 experienced players, but still worthwhile! would recommend for a young family or new players of groups of 4

Spooky fun! I liked that the puzzles and props were old timey to fit the era of the theme. It's a shorter room (45 minutes, I think) but the variety of puzzles are challenging enough for it. Thank you to our GM Jonathan for making it even more fun!

Parking right in front is short term, but a block away there's street meters and a structure. Free street parking a few blocks further but might be trickier if weekends when area is busy.

Fun game fit well for beginners! This is a 45 minute room that is pretty straightforward. The set design is solid and there were a couple unique puzzles in here, though no real WOW moments. Our game master was great! Super friendly and really helpful! We had a lot of fun!

Puzzles were great and the theme was fun. Pretty easy for two people. Only asked for one hint about halfway through. My only suggestion is that I wish they dimmed the lights overall to add to the spooky feel
Gameplay
Fun puzzles and flow. Good hints hidden through the room and had a kid like game room that played well to the theme
Atmosphere

Our group had fun getting around the manor and helping the spirit out. Johnathan our game master was delightful. He was funny and let us take the lead without any overbearing hints. Perfect combo!
