Bear attacks are becoming pretty frequent at Grandview campgrounds. You find yourself lost in the woods with only one cabin to be safe from the attacks when a deep mystery unravels around you. With our most jaw dropping moment in any of our games, this is one you’ll want to sink your teeth into. Please Note: while this game has some thrilling effects and moments unlike any of our other games, this is not a horror or gore game and still family friendly.

This game is a great game to play with a larger group of people because there is more than one puzzle that can be worked on at a time. It is count downs hardest game! This game could be considered scary for smaller kids due to some of the special effects but nothing gory. Game does have a "darker" story line.
Great special effects! Very immersive
Staff is great! There is always great staff at countdown games! Chatted with a GM after the game was over about other games because they also loved escape rooms
Had a great plot twist

We did have one puzzle that was broken. The GM stopped our time so they could fix the puzzle. They weren't able to get it fixed so we were able to by pass that puzzle and escape!

Fantastic escape room! The game is packed with a variety of puzzles, making it ideal for groups of 4-6 people to stay engaged the entire time. The creepy plot line includes a few jump scares, but nothing too intense. I recommend it for ages 12 and up. After reading other reviews we thought it would be incredibly hard, but most puzzles were self explanatory. The room features a great mix of traditional puzzles and innovative high-tech effects that we had never encountered before, even after completing over 50 escape rooms.

This room was very unique and I loved the story/atmosphere! As far as difficulty goes, The Scary One (the hardest game at countdown) is a really big jump from Prison Break (2nd hardest at Countdown). My group of 3 got out of prison break without any hints but asked for at least 6 hints in the scary one. I really enjoyed the tech in this room but I think some of the puzzles may have been a little bit overly ambitious.
There was a lot to do in this game! Overall I enjoyed the puzzles but it threw me off how many things were in this room that weren’t used. Some parts of this game were linear, other were non-linear.
The cabin was very cool and I loved the tech for this room! Very immersive and unique concept.
Yes
Super unique concept and execution!
I really enjoyed the storyline and the plot turns that this game took!

There were so many things to do and some of them were somewhat complicated. You definitely want a group larger than 3 for this game, preferably people who are experience with escape rooms.

This game is not too scary for older kids but the theme/storyline is the spookiest out of all of the rooms at Countdown.

This game is hard and the story is relatively dark.

The final puzzle didn’t work as expected in this room but the gamemasters were very apologetic and explained to us what would have happened had it worked.

I think that there may have been a couple of steps but there wasn’t a whole stairwell.

The Scary One, as the name implies, is Countdown Games’ scariest room. That said, for most people, I wouldn’t worry too much about the jumpscares, and there is no gore so it’s technically ok for kids. Older kids, mind you, because there is a legit creepy plot as the room literally unravels. The big reveals are mind blowing in this room, and it’s worth seeing them here! However, do be warned that this is a super hard room with densely packed puzzles that essentially requires at least 4 experienced escape artists to be able to divide and conquer at a fast pace. The surprises towards the end made my mind implode, and the creepy cabin setting is totally my vibe. I hate scary rooms, but yet I am a fan of The Scary One. Try it out, if you can bear it!

Overall rating - 9.7/10 Puzzles - 9 Gameplay - 10 Atmosphere - 10 Experience - 10 For a breakdown of my weighted rating system you can refer to my bio. This is my favorite room here. It's hard but in a really fair way. We were very close to finishing, we were on the final puzzle when we failed. We had three experienced players I think one more would have been perfect. It's one of those rooms that makes you look back and go "gah if we had just gotten that one puzzle sooner." Only one puzzle felt like a stretch, 95% of it was fair and fun.

This was one of the, if not the most immersive rooms I have ever done. Great room - highly recommended.

This was a HARD one. We probably could have escaped if we had not gotten stuck on a two of the puzzles, but that’s the game! I recommend at least 4 intelligent adults. We had our two kids, one of which just likes rooms for their set and doesn’t love the puzzles. Two more logical adults and we would have gotten out. We were close. Once you get through the first part, not linear, so you can split up and work with a partner while others work on completely different puzzles. I really really like this one. Wish we had gotten out, but would still recommend!

There’s a bear. There’s so many odd and fun surprises in this room. The story unraveled well.
So many awesome things!!!!!
