This room had unique elements to try and immerse you into the story before going into the room. The game itself was cute, but required a lot of hand-holding for my team unfortunately. I wouldn't say that this room is particularly intuitive because there were a lot of "side quests" you could tackle that drove us away from the main storyline. Our GM was so cute though that we just let her guide us most of the way - she was very encouraging, but ended up helping us like 75% of the game T.T I'd say this room is probably more fun with at least 3 or 4 people on the team!
Gameplay
Set design was cute, but wouldn't say it flowed very well as there were things that could throw you off the main storyline. Novel idea though!
Atmosphere
Definitely a little more immersive. From start to finish, there's activities to keep you and the team involved in some way.
Customer service
GM was great. She was so cute in guiding us through the game.

Wouldn't say it's hard... but some of the puzzles and gameplay weren't intuitive in my team's opinion.

The puzzles were triggered by the GM if you solved the puzzle correctly. Lots of sounds too.

Wouldn't really recommend this for most impaired folks.
Easy to find location
Sort of. There's not really clear signage, but you'll see a banner on the wall pointing to the stairs that lead up to the escape room location. Ring the doorbell and then a host will come out and get you.

Super cool game with the right amount of scares. Definitely have to be comfortable with the dark, tight spaces and some creepy props. Definitely worth it for the experience!

Hidden gem of the Bay Area when it comes to scares and escape rooms. Very creepy atmosphere and game master/host were incredibly inviting and did an awesome job immersing us in the game. The puzzles are hard but definitely doable.

I liked the back and forth teasing type we had with our game master. No scares (cause there was 2 of us). Great guy.

Hostage is in rough shape. Several puzzles were either held together by clear or duct tape, if working at all. The GM gave less than ideal hints, and even admitted to not hearing players very well. We could hear our GM talking about us throughout the game due to thin walls, and it did not add to the experience. Tech wasnβt working, the set was in poor condition, and the puzzle flow was confusing at best. I donβt know if there was an adult on site at any point during our game. For $100, I expected more. Even with how much Iβve heard about their other game, Nursery, I doubt I will return due to the lackluster first experience.
Gameplay
Even with a better GM, I donβt think this game would have been much better. Puzzles donβt have clear starts, and the bonus puzzles are even more confusing.
Atmosphere
The set was in rough shape.
Customer service
The staff wasβ¦fine. If your game shares a wall with your GM room, maybe try talking quieter so the players canβt hear you talking about them. Iβm not sure if there was an adult in the building when we played.

Many physical locks/direction/code locks. A little tech, but not much. A handful of clearly GM triggers moments.

My group of 6 completed this room and what a ride it was. The atmosphere and setting was definitely spooky (I am a scaredy cat and generally a jumpy person) but the GMs were helpful and make it a fun experience. I do think the experience mightβve been better with maybe 4 players rather than 6 but my whole group enjoyed it regardless. They did βpersonalizeβ the game in a certain way that none of us expected and it that was very memorable for all of us. Would definitely recommend this room for everyone to try at least once. I believe there are side puzzles that can be completed and seems like the room is possibly updated here and there so I do think there is always potential to come and play again.

This room was a lot of fun however there were a few things that were not reset which is always disappointing, however the GM was super sweet and paused our time every-time it happened . Overall I really did enjoy this room and thought it had just the right amount of scare/thrill factor. Would recommend
