The theming was really great. It was spooky for sure, but not to the point that I as a self-declared horror wuss couldn’t handle it. The clues were pretty interesting, unfortunately a few of them didn’t quite operate properly and we had to go ask for help. I don’t remember our GM’s name but she was not super engaged and the clues she gave could have been better (they were vague and once she gave the clue she would go back away, once she asked “did you find the key in the locker yet” when we couldn’t figure out what to do with an item and then when we realized we had already found it and were still stuck, she did not come back on the intercom to be more helpful.) Aside from that it was quite fun, somewhat difficult (I would say medium to hard, our group of 6 intelligent people did not escape but we still had fun.) Do be aware that if you have a fear of dolls, any kind of difficult experiences with death (especially that of a child), or an aversion to demonic symbolism, this is not the room for you. Overall would recommend
Gameplay
It was a lot of fun, it could have been our group’s unsuccessful strategy of dividing and conquering but it didn’t seem like the clues unlocking was quite linear. Some of them were already there when you get there (as in, writings on the wall/mirror) and you couldn’t tell which one to start with.

13-14, I would not say the theming was child friendly (involves death and creepy stuff) and some of the clues would be tricky for below that age

Accessibility
It’s fine for people with mobility issues as long as they have someone else to help reach certain clues on the walls (if they’re in a wheelchair.) Hearing is also fine, there’s a storyline at the beginning that kinda sets things up but I don’t particularly remember needing to remember any of it to understand the clues. For vision, this room would not be good because it’s dimly illuminated in red lights the entire game and I as someone with some processing issues had to resort to my phone flashlight multiple times to see clues.
