Arkham, Massachusetts, October 1928.... Gather your fellow investigators and prepare yourselves for an experience like no other as you head into the world of Lovecraftian horror! Hired by the Miskatonic University, you find yourselves entering a seemingly deserted, shunned house in the oldest quarter of legend and witch-haunted Arkham. On the trail of stolen relics taken from the vaults of the University by a dangerous Cult, you and your fellow investigators must use all your cunning and investigative skills to search for clues and recover these dangerous relics before the ever approaching doom devours you and all of humanity! Inspired by the collective works of renowned cosmic horror writer H.P. Lovecraft, and by popular roleplaying games such as Call of Cthulhu and Arkham Horror, this 90 minute immersive tale will shock and delight you....

This is an unusual escape room for Cornwall. This is truly an immersive escape room with a great story even for those not aware of the genre. (for those who already know the genre I'd imagine it would be even better). We were aware this room took awhile to construct and it was obvious to see why, the quality of the build and props was excellent. The room is logical, and has some unusual twists along the way....this is definitely a room I'd recommend.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely brilliant! We played the Fear the Unknown escape room in Truro today and had an amazing time. The room was so cleverly designed β€” every detail added to the tense, atmospheric feel, and the puzzles were smart, immersive, and incredibly satisfying to solve. This was our very first escape room and we were not disappointed! A huge shout-out to Imy, our host, who was fantastic from start to finish. Friendly, enthusiastic, and great at setting the scene, she really elevated the whole experience. If you enjoy escape rooms (or even if you’re trying one for the first time), I’d highly recommend Enigma Escape Cornwall. We’ll definitely be back to try another room! πŸ‘πŸ—οΈπŸ”¦

Hands down the best room I have ever played! The attention to detail and quality of the set build is second to none. The level of immersion is excellent and there are loads of puzzles to keep you busy for the full 90 minutes. It brings a new (and very much welcomed) change in game mechanics. With collectable and story based elements. It feels like this is leading the way in the future of what escape rooms might have to offer. It mixes traditional puzzles with more physical/interactive tasks so has something for everyone. The beauty of this room is I now want to go back and play it again! The completionist in me wants 100% and I believe there are some hidden areas I didn't reach first time around! This room is so deserving of it's recent TERPECA nomination and for anyone who's an escape room fan this is an absolute must!

Gameplay

Very unique, completely breaking the mould and offering something new.

Atmosphere

Very high end props, high quality finish on all decor, felt like a real house rather than a set. Highly immersive!

Customer service

Very attentive and clearly passionate about what they do. Lovely cosy (and again very themed) waiting area too.

Fear of the Unknown is amazing! Lots to get done and multiple endings make it one to recommend to all escape room lovers. My advise is be brave and be kind to the creatures who live within the walls…

Gameplay

Lots to get done but the game constantly flows no matter how many puzzles you can crack along the way

Atmosphere

Deeply immersive with moments that will make your whole party lose their shit

Customer service

Staff were lovely and set the scene perfectly

An absolute triumph of a room! The wife and I were absolutely buzzing walking out, we had so much fun. It’s one of the most original rooms I think we’ve ever played. It’s not your typical room. I won’t spoil anything, but I will recommend you go and try it. Immediately! Not a single fault to be had with anything. A brilliant, brilliant room.

This room is incredible, and now my favourite. It had a great level of atmosphere with amazing set design and puzzles. We were certainly kept busy, and the time fly by. We were having so much fun, I didn't want it to end.
