Sins of Whitechapel

I believe that this is currently the best scary room in Reno, and I enjoyed Freakshow, Dead Silence, Blood of the Original, etc., but this one really stands out. The set, including the physical room, soundtrack, lighting and sound cues were all very well integrated into the experience. The chapel’s vaulted ceiling and the door to the chapel were wonderfully done. I usually don’t care about the story, instead I normally focus on the puzzles, then set, but I really enjoyed how the story revealed itself at the end. And, everything made sense within that story’s framework. The puzzles were good, and made sense for the story, and there were a couple of good ‘that’s really cool’ moments. I am not a horror fan; don’t watch scary movies and avoid haunted houses, but I thoroughly enjoyed this room. It had the right amount of spooky atmosphere and gore, and it all worked together. This theme/setting could definitely be polarizing for some, but you can also say that it is unique and not the usual trope of a killer has you trapped so you better figure a way out before he returns, and I appreciate this. The room is on the dark side and there are a couple of small spaces so this may make it difficult for certain people, however, not everyone needs to enter these spaces. Parking is simple and the staff was great. *** note: we played this room as a beta test group so it is subject to some small tweaks before it opens, but I feel that it was 98% or better in its final form.
