Mark as done to rate

You made a wrong turn on this road trip and ended up on a dead end street as your car runs out of gas in the middle of nowhere. No cell service. No help for miles. But just up the road… a house. The only sign of life. You knock. No answer. Then you see the cellar door—slightly ajar. What choice do you have?

This room was such a blast to play. I went in initially worried about how scary it would be. Much to my surprise, what scares you can also make you laugh depending on how you react to Mr. Giggles', umm, constructive criticism. They do a great job of not trying to scare you while you're working on puzzles, and because they play it this way, the puzzles need to be good as they really stand on their own, and they do just that. The puzzles worked well with the theme, and nothing felt like a reach. My wife and I played this room as a group of two, and I believe we did quite well.

Gameplay

The room kept you a bit on edge of being scared, but it also didn't hinder the puzzle flow.

We are so glad you enjoyed our live actor, horror game. We love running this one and are all so happy to see players enjoying it. We had a lot of fun hosting the two of you and talking about escape rooms. Thanks for the wonderful review.

LOL...love to hear that even anti-clown players can enjoy The Cellar. All the game hosts play Giggles a little different and it sounds like Amanda did a great job for your group. Thank you for the review, nancypants.

Honestly my favorite escape room I’ve played so far, it was so immersive and unique.

Gameplay

Flowed well, very immersive, and so fun!

Atmosphere

It was SO immersive! Genuinely felt like I was in a creepy cellar.

Customer service

Zach was a great host! Explained everything well and did a fantastic intro! Also got to interact with another staff member whose name I unfortunately forgot (I think it might’ve been Amanda?) but she was great too!

Yes

Yes and they were FANTASTIC, definitely spooky and stayed in character even when giving hints over the microphone.

Accessibility

There is some crawling involved but if you have someone able to do that, they can open the other side and someone unable to crawl would then be able to enter. I’d say moderately accessible.

This room was our favorite but the venue was amazing overall. All the guides were great. One of our previous guides actually stayed late and joined in terrifying us in this room - it was a fantastic (if traumatic =P) experience.

Difficulty

I think this was "harder" for us because we were terrified of [jump scares] and did far less effective exploration than usual. Still A+ would puzzle again =P

  • This room had the best organ props we’ve seen in an escape room. It felt so real...

    ESCAPETHEROOMers
  • There’s a lot to love about the The Cellar II, especially if a horror experience appeals to you.
