Nestled deep in the lush green woods of the Romanian Hoia Forest, known for its strange disappearances from its medieval neighboring towns, lies an abandoned Gothic fortress. You and your team of vampire hunters have found it! Finally, proof that expels the old myth that Vampires do not exist. You know he is down here. He sleeps during the day, but at night… There’s no turning back now. The sun will set soon. Night is coming. Can you kill the vampire and finally have the proof for the world to see? Or will night fall and you never again see the light of day.

Some mechanics didn’t work and one of the puzzles in particular used some very odd logic that got a groan from the group when it was revealed with a clue. Not my favorite but we still had fun.
Some parts were broken and some of the puzzles didn’t make a lot of sense even after we had moved them. Some strange logic.
The first room was fun and then the next was just a room with some stuff in it.

Pretty basic room and honestly pretty sparse puzzles. Everything worked, but nothing super splashy or unique. Ending of the room was also a little anticlimactic/flat as we didn't realize that we had escaped until the game master opened the door.

Unique puzzles, enthusiastic game masters, spooky but not too scary, fun vampire theme!
Flowed well but a couple things needed a bit of maintenance, but gamemaster helped make it a smooth experience despite that.

A few tripping hazards, but gamemaster was super helpful about describing everything to make sure we were ok.

The set wasn’t bad and there were a couple of puzzles with a lot of potential. However, we didn’t always realize when we had completed a puzzle as it was not obvious that it had triggered something to open. I lucked into finding an item in a search puzzle when I wasn’t actively looking, but I can see this one being a potential problem for people. There was another puzzle that was so unintuitive that I don’t think our group would’ve stumbled into the solution if we had all day. It was the opposite of what we thought it would be and there was no signposting in the room that would lead you to think differently. We also had to be told that we had completed the room. That is never a good thing when you don’t know that you’re finished. All in all, I still had fun, the staff is nice, the set wasn’t bad and a couple of the puzzles were good. I wouldn’t suggest that enthusiasts go out of their way to play this one, but it will do well with all of the tourists.
Not too bad.

A few of the puzzles are not intuitive.

3-5 is ideal as the room is fairly linear and there are a couple of smaller spaces.

This room is not accessible for those with mobility issues as there are stairs and one room has uneven flooring.

All of Elevation’s games are very standard. The crypt is their weakest game in my opinion. It isn’t bad, but it’s very unintuitive which hurts its rating in my opinion. The set was about middle of the line. However it’s worth noting that they had loose floorboards in one sort for aesthetic reasons, but they were actual loose floorboards, very easy to accidentally remove. A lot of elevation’s puzzles are repetitive as well, every room had a mirror bounce puzzle, and this was the second one with a coffin puzzle, which got repetitive. Anyways, all in all, not too bad, not too good.

Unintuitive puzzles is what made the game difficult.

I'd rank this one last of their rooms. The hotel is best. Staff is nice and the atmosphere is good. They care about making sure you have a good time. This room had some puzzles not trigger fully for us which disrupted a bit. Some of the puzzles are not intuitive. One requires some strength which is unusual for most places because it shouldn't feel like you may break something to trigger an action. The concept is nice and the story is fun. One unique puzzle with water would have been awesome, if it worked properly for us. If you are in town, the other puzzles are better.
