Mark as done to rate

Nearly a decade ago, the old Frank M. Heights apartment building remodel lost funding and has since sat abandoned. Supposedly, a horror fiction-obsessed murderer uses the building as a playground for his twisted acts of torture. Locals whisper that when passing by the apartment building – the faint screams of the victims can be heard echoing deep from within… hence the nickname, β€œMurder Heights”!

This room had everything we look for in a spooky season room: scary, challenging and LOTS of fun. Fantastic immersive theming and great puzzles and gameplay that we have come to expect from Escape Ventures rooms. Two thumbs way up!

Gameplay

Excellent gameplay that flowed well. A few novel puzzles that we enjoyed solving.

Atmosphere

Fully immersive and very spooky. Excellent sets and props as always. Fun scares.

Customer service

Our GM Sara was awesome and fully engaged in making our experience great.

Particularly interesting or different

Yes

We have played a number of spooky house rooms but this one has a few uniques features that I won't spoil here.

Story

Story was good and all room elements were well integrated.

EV rooms are always more high tech. There were some locks and spinners but also sensors, triggers and a laser. And lots of sound and lighting effects.

Spooky for us but unless you are a hardcore HHN fan, probably scary for most.

LOVED IT!!!!!! it was the perfect amount of scary and the puzzles made sense and it actually flowed really well. the game master was also really nice and made the experience better. the live actor was scary but also didn't traumatize us. i think this was one of the best escape rooms we've done, and it was just me and my boyfriend. some of the puzzles at other escape rooms were very abstract but this one was clever and creative while actually being solvable. TRY IT OUT!!!

Echoes at Murder Heights is by far one of the best rooms we've done! The new owners here have really brought the escape room experience to the next level. The immersive environment and unique puzzles were well done. If you're a bit nervous about the "actor driven experience" they describe (like we were), don't be! Just give it a try! They aren't in the room with you doing the experience like we thought. They are acting as a character as they walk you to the room and then interacting with you as that character over the speaker. It's pretty much like having your own dedicated, funny, caring, game master; which is way better than some other places that make you feel like they forgot about you or are too busy to help. Our actor, Michael, made everything so much more fun and immersive. He was hilarious πŸ˜‚!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BRAVO, Michael! We will definitely be back for sure! πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

I love the presence of the live actor, I shrieked every time they showed up. The puzzle density was very good and kept us moving around the space.

Another super fun room by escape ventures/exit games. It does get pitch black, there are jump scares and the room is creepy. Once you get past that it’s a fantastically themed room and the puzzles are very well done! These guys never disappoint!

This room was phenomenal!!! I don’t wanna spoil it for anyone so just go!! 10/10 would recommend!!!!! The room was well designed and appropriately themed!! It had a great deal of locks but very doable with a group of 3 or more of seasoned escape room goers. The game master was amazing and the jump scares and overall spookiness of this room was GREAT!!! Cause we seek out scary rooms!! So this was great!! And you get the best surprise of all, but you gotta try the room to find out!! Just go!! Definitely in the top 3 of escape rooms we’ve done!
