Sección Esotérica: El Exocirsta [The Exorcist]

Super fun horror escape! The actors did a fantastic job! The game was fun and I was terrified. Great for just the 2 of us!

Terror Stories' Exorcista was quite showy. Getting to see a story unfold, just to find yourself in the same set moments later. Wow! Great lighting and sound. Use of fire. Great, great tests of courage. We never felt truly safe anywhere for any amount of time. We did have I believe a few tech glitches in our play through, music stopped and lights didn’t seem to work at times, but nonetheless. A strong game from Terror Stories, while not overwhelmingly scary. Could use some polish in certain moments, but nothing major. Well done. (Game does play better in Spanish though, we are told.)

A horror room that is also strong in puzzles is a great find, and Exorcist had it. The acting and choreography were really beautiful as well. It was also beautifully decorated with some great surprises and wow moments. We played tension mode (so the actors don’t add additional jump scares), and the tension was still very high - it was actually perfect for me, as I do not love horror rooms.

Marc and Carlotta were our actors/game masters. We went and did the “Terror” level experience for Exorcismo. It was absolutely worth the money. Right as you got to the door, the room started. The puzzles were pretty good, some of the flow was a bit confusing (but we also were powering through some adrenaline-fueled fear and became scattered at some points, so that’s partly our fault). However, we still got hints over the intercom and the phone. I liked getting the hints through the phone, though it wasn’t consistent. Perhaps that is the way to deliver hints? Either way it was cool. The only thing I woulf say is that it can be hard to understand the hints/dialogue of the actors, but that is also a language barrier issue. Perhaps if there were words accompanying the hints or if they were all through the phone (which was much easier to hear) it would be better. At the end we got confused about directions and technically didn’t achieve the objective (we did, we just left it instead of bringing it with us). Again we were just dumb at times 😂 There are multiple rooms and levels, sometimes you’re by yourself, other puzzles need more people, and you go back to previous rooms. Which I really liked. We unlocked all locks but one, but there were different ways to open the next clue/puzzle. It is a super personalized experience and I couldn’t recommend it more. This new version has been open one month, and honestly it was great and I can’t wait for the improvements. I cannot praise this room more, it is the best escape room I have ever done!!
