Oculus 2 - Harold's House

Every puzzle flowed thematically well into the next with some great surprise moments!

STUNNING set and a huge upgrade from its original form. I’m so surprised as to what they have managed to achieve with such a small space.

Always great hosts at this venue.

Such a great continuation from the original story with a clear objective.

Kaleigh was fantastic, one of our favourite GMs we've had anywhere!

Bits of fun tech but mostly mechanical/lock and key

We played with 2, but 3 would have helped a bit

Some crawling and climbing

I would assume they can work around the crawling and climbing, but you do have to go downstairs to get to the room.

The change in the story made it so much more intense. My teammate and I genuinely felt our hearts racing (granted we aren't the bravest) The puzzles were unique and all fit the theme.

Although our host was lovely, there were a few bits that raised an eyebrow or two. The biggest one being hints coming in the form of "Have you seen this/done this?" to things we had made big deals about prior to asking for help. It made us feel as if there wasn't much attention being given towards us.

When approaching our last few seconds we hit a bit of our dead end. Our host hinted that a key had dropped that we were unable to find. We assumed that it was us not quite finding it in time. When the host came in as we didn't quite finish we asked where the key dropped. He also couldn't find it. I don't know whether this was the result of an improper reset or a mechanical piece not triggering properly.

Not ideal for mobility. Some climbing and crawling necessary for all players

Slap bang in the city centre

Plenty of parking around!

Our GM Skeggy was fantastic

Completed as an experienced team of 4

A few jump scares when keys dropped and doors opened

Small amount of crawling and climbing

Centre of Cardiff

Fantastic!

Very tense atmosphere created with lighting and sound which really added to the experience.

Skeggs was a great GM! All the staff were really friendly!

I love that this was a sequel to oculus and that there were nods to the original room, but it didn’t require having down the first room.

The story was phenomenal! Puzzles were really well integrated to the story!

I found this scary (but am a wuss), but not outright terrifying

We lost a key component for one puzzle and there was no way to retrieve. GM handled this well and told us the answer for the puzzle, rather than come in and resolve and ruin the ending.

Some crawling and climbing required

Not suitable for wheelchair users, challenging for those with mobility problems.
