This gem made its way into our top 5 today! The Whispering Pages at Blackwood Library was phenomenal! The puzzles were incredible, and the set design was top-notch! The story was so impressive, and the attention to detail was everything! Hayden and Emma were SO kind and welcoming! The passion they both have for what they do is evident in their first build. We cannot wait to come back and see what they come up with next!

WOW!! Emma and Hayden knocked their first game out of the park. The experience flowed SO incredibly well and the use of space was GREAT. A strong story with impressive show elements and a ton of unique and fun puzzles filled throughout. A new favorite in the Florida market!!! A solid level of scares, but nothing too intense for those that are turned off by scary experiences. So excited for the next game they’re working on as well👀

Absolutely fantastic room on all levels. Checked every box of what a great room should be and then some. SO thrilled to have these new designers on the scene. If this was there first build (which is mind blowing) we cannot wait to see what they'll continue to bring to the table.

This was a remarkable game. This is an amazing room and more so when you consider this the owners first build of a new game If you are into spooky games the atmosphere and immersion is top-notch and after playing over 100 games around Florida this room can be in the debate for best spooky room. The puzzles and challenges have amazing flow, the immersive atmosphere is stellar. There are some pieces in here I have not seen elsewhere I would put this into spooky/scary but they have options to dial it back if that isn’t your brand of room Cannot rave about this location enough and the owners are just great people.

The room was amazing! The attention to detail was spectacular. The room used space well to fit a lot in. The puzzles were quite interesting and made sense to the game. It was fun and I had a blast. 10/10 would recommend!

The difficulty to catch up on some things required a little more thought, but once it clicked, it clicked. There was nothing that stood out as a leap of judgement to me.

What an amazing first original game from the new owners at Escape Reality! The attention to detail with the set, ambiance and sound design, unique puzzles, and actor interactions is top notch. A scary game, but approachable for those not into horror. A top game in Florida for sure. This is a must do when in the area, and add the owners as among some of the best game designers in Florida.
