Nightfall: Creature At Camp Deadwood

Our team of 3 agreed this was our 3rd favorite room at this location, but it's still one of the best in Florida and a top tier room overall. Definitely a unique experience and the acting brings it to life in a very exciting way. I think the puzzles in this room were the least challenging, although one puzzle stands out as a notable exception, requiring a good bit of lateral thought. Definitely worth doing

Can’t say enough good things about the staff here. Very friendly! The room was great and fun!

Nightfall is a solid escape room and a fun experience overall. The atmosphere is spooky without being truly scary, which makes it approachable while still setting a great tone. The actor involvement and atmosphere make a key difference in this room and really help elevate the experience and immersion. The puzzles flow and keep you engaged throughout. Our only real complaint was that the ending felt a bit anticlimactic compared to the rest of the room, but it didn’t take away from the overall enjoyment. TEV room ranking so far: 1.) Phantom Files 2.) Operation Treehouse 3.) Neighborhood Watcher 4.) Dragon Challenge: A Hero’s Choice 5.) Bros for Life 6.) Click N’ Glitch 7.) Operation Arctic Storm 8.) Nightfall 9.) Outage That said, rankings aside, there truly are no skips at The Escape Ventures. Every room left us feeling fulfilled and genuinely happy we played, which speaks to the consistency and quality across all of their experiences

Like all of the best The Escape Ventures games, it is an all around fun game with decent puzzles, amazing set design, and of course really fun interactions with the game master. But this one in particular kind of got lost in my memories among the other amazing games we played at Port Charlotte (and Evasive Escapes Sarasota the same day), but thinking about it this game is absolutely amazing and definitely needs to be played as much as the other games at this location. I was a little mixed on our game master’s performance as your guide character at the beginning, but later he really came into his own as one of the best acted characters in a TEV game. It’s overall just a very good, pretty light-horror game with an outstanding finale scene. Play it, then play all the other games at this location. TEV Ranking: 1. Orlando: Cornstalkers 2. Orlando: Arctic Storm 3. Port Charlotte: Phantom FIles 4. Port Charlotte: Click ‘N Glitch 5. Port Charlotte: Nightfall 6. Orlando: Bros for Life 7. Orlando: Neighborhood Watcher (gap in quality) 8. Puzzle Corp.: Secrets of the Swamp (they designed this) 9. Orlando: Satirical Miracle (gap in quality) 10. Orlando: Outage 11. Puzzle Corp.: Doomsday Disaster (they designed this)

Room and game master were both amazing, great experience overall.

The GM was such a trooper! Loved the set design and camp fire smell. We felt totally immersed and had a lot of fun. We did ask to tone down the scary so we appreciated that haha

This was my first room where multiple scents played a strong role in creating a rich narrative environment. Our GM Jake did a great job bringing the story to life, his performance was unhinged to say the least. We played with 4, but I’d recommend a group of no more than 3 for this room, it’s not a physically large space. My only complaint is that the “creature” wasn’t as physically present as I would have hoped.

My favorite room here Puzzles, setting, host - all top notch We had 4 people and we all had something to do and all had a fantastic time

The set decor was absolutely incredible!! You will feel like you are in a campground and a camper. It is jaw dropping. Things blend in so seamlessly that you will overlook puzzle pieces at first glance. That is how well done the Escape Room is. The creativity with the use of items from this type of environment made the Escape Room a ton of fun, interesting, and very unique. What made this Escape Room absolutely phenomenal was our game master, Jake. His sense of humor and delivery was absolutely outstanding and made us all laugh. I would highly recommend this game and if you’re lucky enough to have Jake as your game master, you will be thoroughly entertained!!
