The cabin trilogy is a MUST DO! Warning: The cabin rooms are legitimately scary. That being said, chapter 3 was the least scary for us (again, this is relative; it's still scary) because we found it easier to deal with the prime scary element in this chapter than in the previous two. On the other hand, this room may actually be the scariest for those who are scared by more "non-paranormal entities". Additionally, having done the trilogy back-to-back, we were well primed to face whatever awaited us in Chapter 3! The gameplay continued in another cabin setting where there seemed to be more ambient lighting. It was still rather dim at times. The objective was to locate something and complete a sequence of actions. The puzzles, centered mostly around physical locks, relied on observation with some order-sequence matching. The difficulty was moderate. Can feel harder at times because of the tension. Immersion was very good! More notes on scariness below.
Gameplay
Game flowed well - it was mostly linear with a "straight", visibly sectioned game space.
Atmosphere
Scary atmosphere throughout! Immersive set design, good use of props.
Customer service
In-character GM was welcoming and provided helpful nudges. Attentive and following our game.
Particularly interesting or different
Yes
The whole trilogy is a stand-out amongst (scary) escape rooms! This chapter completes it.
Story
Most escape rooms don't develop the story after the premise. The cabin trilogy story continues to unravel through the chapters and concludes with this one.
Difficulty
Medium
If you do the trilogy back-to-back, you may be in a better headspace to solve this room.

Ideal number of players
4
4 is a good number if at least one person is quite "brave" to face the challenge head on.
Scary
💩👖
I'll say people who find humans more scary than the paranormal, or those doing this room directly without the first two, may find the room very scary. For others, it will be "scary" because there is still a live actor who can get quite intense. How scared you get, depends on your mindset and how you wish to enjoy the game. At some point, you may get separated from your group (as you're given walkie-talkies...which also have a flashlight on them, btw). But it's not bad, really.
