Witch's Hollow

The only thing better than doing a witch-themed escape room in Salem is doing one that's also very fun and cleverly designed! My friends and I have a tradition of doing an escape room whenever we're vacationing in a new city, and you couldn't ask for a better one in Salem. The puzzles are the right level of difficult for experienced teams, but the room also has a fun hinting system, ensuring even less experienced ones will have a good time and likely make it to the end. If you're on Morty, you're probably an escape room fan, but in a broader sense, I think Witch's Hollow deserves to succeed not only as an excellent room, but also as a genuinely fun and immaginative witchy thing to do in a town that has its fair share of cheesy cash grabs. If you and your friends or family want to go on a witchy adventure and try your hand at some surprising spell casting when you're in Salem, forget all of the wax museums and "haunted attractions" and come here instead. There's some real love, passion and creativity on display in this imaginative escape room. And if you're an escape room fan planning a vacation and wondering if this little two-room venue has got it...it does! Hopefully someday we'll be able to do their second room as well.

Fantastic hinting system, detailed decoration, very immersive

We came out to Salem just to play this escape room, and it did not disappoint! Witch's hollow was a delightful room. PUZZLES: There were lots of parallel puzzles, and we had a big group, so it was great that we could split up and tackle multiple puzzles. All the puzzles were intuitive and the solves made sense, but were still a challenging level of difficulty. There were also different types of puzzles, which was a lot of fun. THEME: The theming, set design, and special effects were great, with multiple moments that made us ooh with wonder. We especially loved the interactive bits, which made the experience very memorable. Our gamemaster, Joe, was awesome! I'd highly recommend this room. Can't wait to come back and try the Boring Office!

What a great game for my 600th! The puzzle design was top notch. Multiple puzzles that were executed in delightfully unique ways. The set was immersive and extraordinarily witchy. ;P

If there is an escape room theme that absolutely needs to be in Salem, it’s witches! Witch’s Hollow delivers exactly that, and doesn’t skimp on what could have been a tourist cash grab. The set is eerie without being scary. There are some neat effects. The puzzles are diverse and interesting. There are some light humorous interactions with a character. And there are even story choice points and different endings. Quite a few in fact! They’re not mindblowingly different endings, but they do feel personalized. And who doesn’t want to have their own personal witch adventure in Witch City? Get Bewitched here if you’re already in town for witch ever reason!

Excellent experience at Stained Hourglass! The room was really well done and perfect for our group of 3 enthusiasts. Game master added the right touches in character to help us when needed and add some fun elements. It would have been a lot for 2 to get done so 3 feels like bare minimum unless you want lots of GM help. Definitely one of the best rooms in greater Boston area.

What a fantastic room! Outstanding cluing, lighting and sound. Inventive fun puzzles, and even some free choice!

I really loved the live actor in the beginning of the story!! The puzzles were really fun and thought out. I loved how pretty the different themed rooms were.

Absolutely LOVED this room. Amazingly immersive, some really special game mechanics, and a great GM!

We loved this! So immersive! The live actor was a nice touch, and we loved the element of choice.
