Mark as done to rate
The old Frank M. Heights apartment building lost funding during its remodel nearly a decade ago and has since sat abandoned. Rumors say a horror fiction-obsessed murderer uses the building as his playground for twisted acts of torture. When a bad storm rolls through, you can almost hear screams coming from the building over the sounds of thunder. It’s time to find out if there’s any truth to the tales within. Just as you pass the 'No Trespassing' signs, you look up to find a terrible thunderstorm approaching. Once inside, you follow whispers from the walls; echoes from a victim captured by the deranged squatter that holds dominance over this forgotten town eyesore. You quickly become the next plaything to the murder-obsessed individual, locked in a closet like sitting ducks awaiting your fate. Welcome to “ECHOES AT MURDER HEIGHTS”!

Really unsure what all the praise for this room is about. Puzzles were all very generic “find the code for this lock”. Puzzles where I’m arbitrarily organizing things to get a word or numeric code for every single puzzle is just so very overdone and outdated. Escape rooms need to be far more creative than essentially solving a giant crossword puzzle. The only interesting aspect was a live actor to add some suspense. Otherwise very much not recommended.

Our groups first room at America’s Escape Room, Echoes at Murder Heights was nothing short of bone chilling and fun from start to finish. This game balances thick ambience with excellent puzzle flow and use of props. If you have any aversion to horror themes for any reason, I strongly advise against you playing this game. If you love being scared, startled, and proverbially pushed into your discomfort zone, this experience is for you. Who among you will be sacrificed?

The entire experience was great. Me and my girlfriend got out over time. Our GM gave us a few minutes to finish because we were basically done. Made the world of a difference! The jump scares were great. Can’t wait to go back for another room.
Gameplay
So fun! Tinge of scary made the puzzles that much more fun to solve as we try to escape!

Scenic was great - I know Escape Ventures helped out with this one - but the puzzles and flow of the room just weren't doing it for me unfortunately. It's a very small space, it's extremely lock-heavy, and it includes several unclear multi-step puzzles which I'm never a fan of. Still a solid room and worth a play.

Due to extremely cramped spaces and very linear gameplay, four players would be the absolute maximum.

I was expecting more jumpscares within the game itself but all scares came from the GM / actor.

This was a very fun and unexpectedly scary room. The puzzles were quite straightforward but challenging. The room seemingly never ended but we weren’t complaining! Staff was very nice and everything flowed very nicely. Kind of wish we were able to see our time but I had a watch so I had a rough estime of how much time we had left. Overall very VERY fun room, very immersive and definitely spooky!

Nothing but good things to say about this room! Very immersive and spooky with some jump scares. Puzzles were logical and made sense- not anything new and crazy but solid variations of ones we’ve seen before. Would definitely recommend if in the area or even a drive away.

Smooth game flow- mostly linear. Good amount of puzzles for the time frame.

Solid room with some jump scares. Linear puzzles that made logical sense. Some fairly unique puzzles. The story and setting and set design were great. Our game master played his role well introducing the game and interacting through clues in theme.
