WOW! Emma & Hayden have absolutely outdone themselves with their debut experience!! This escape room is the perfect mix of creative puzzles, fun jumpscares and strong immersion. I tend to be a big scardy cat, but I LOVED how this experience was creepy & scary, but not enough where I cannot focus on the puzzles. Also, the set design is so impressive, I couldn’t believe it just kept going! I absolutely recommend this room to anyone who loves immersive experiences (& a good jumpscare)! The owners passion is SO evident, I truly cannot wait to see all they create in the future!!

What an incredible room. The owners are obviously extremely passionate and talented room builders that excel at getting the most out of their space. The aesthetic was phenomenal, the puzzles made sense, and most importantly it was fun! They cracked my top 5 and we’ve done some really great rooms. If you’re thinking of trying it, just do it! You won’t be disappointed.

I absolutely loved this room! As someone who works at an escape room and plays way too many this one is in my top few games! Loved the spooky atmosphere and the gameplay. Had some puzzles I had never seen before and I really enjoyed them! The owners are absolutely fantastic and brilliant with the design/set!

Fantastic game! Great owners. Even though the game is scary it is family friendly scary. Would definitely suggest not removing the live actor.

Loved everything about this room! All the puzzles were related to the room and had us fully immersed in Blackwood Library! 10/10

Loved every part! There were unique puzzles we had never seen before. Special effects were used to enhance the escape room. Definitely some jump scares, but it was a “fun scary”.

Felt like you were really in the library from start to finish.
