Mark as done to rate
There are those that say that Worthington Mansion is haunted, if not by spirits then by terrible secrets hidden somewhere in the home. Your job in this escape game room is to confirm or disprove that this site is haunted, and if it is haunted, find a way to cleanse the home of any entities that may linger there once and for all… Other Paranormal Investigators have tried and failed. You must pick up where they left off and unravel the mysteries that they could not. The truth awaits in the shadows of Worthington Mansion, and only you can bring it to light.

We loved this custom Mom & Pop’s feel atmosphere. The owner is super cool and puts a lot of care into his business! We recommend this place because a) it’s private games (who TF wants to play with strangers) and b) the games are unique! We’ve done over 100 games and saw puzzles we hadn’t seen before

Ugh, not sure how to rate this... I didn't HATE it. But it wasn't great either. This is the second room we've done here and had mixed reviews about our other experience here. I will say this, the game masters and staff are wonderful. And while we didn't finish the room in 60 minutes, we were close so they gave us an extra 2 minutes to finish. I guess my main issue is the puzzles. I've never had to ask for so many hints in a room before. One of the puzzles was easy enough to solve but it made no sense thematically to the room. The sets and lighting/sound were great and set the mood and the story was well done. I just can't get over the puzzles that to me and our players, we had difficulty with.
Gameplay
It's very linear, meaning if you get stuck on one puzzle, you may find yourself wasting precious seconds.
Atmosphere
Set design, props, lighting and sounds were very good. Very immersive.
Customer service
Our GM was great.
Particularly interesting or different
No
It was neat, but nothing that you probably haven't seen before.
Story
The puzzles, at times, fit the theme and progressed the story.
Difficulty
Hard
The puzzles were tricky and some didn't fit well thematically to the room.
Game tech
Mechanical
It was a mix of both, but most puzzles lead to a combo lock.
Ideal number of players
5
We had 4 adults and a 9 year and at times, people had nothing to do due to linear nature of the game.
Scary
Spooky
Its' spooky, BODERLINE scary as there is a jumpscare towards the end of the game. You'll be fine.

Was anything broken?
No
Nothing was broken, but one of the tech items was "temperamental". Another prop needed the buttons pressed harder (really? press the buttons harder?) And one of the combo locks was a bit dodgy.

I really enjoyed the ambiance, the set design, and the story that unfolds as you progress throughout the room. I liked the puzzles; they didn’t necessarily impress or disappoint. The only thing I didn’t like is that our GM was running another game at the same time. I understand that sometimes you have to do that, but as players it takes away from the experience. I will admit, I don’t feel like our hints suffered from our GM running 2 games, but it was in the back of my mind as I played. Very nice staff, and clean establishment. Would definitely go back for another game.
Gameplay
I enjoyed the gameplay. Pretty much all of the puzzles were good, but there weren’t any puzzles that really stood out. I don’t specifically remember any of the puzzles being bad. Similar style puzzles throughout the room with a little variation here and there.
Atmosphere
I really enjoyed the atmosphere and the set design of this room. It isn’t top of the line, but it all comes together nicely and is very enjoyable.
Customer service
The GM (who we believe to be the owner) was very friendly and fun to talk to before and after the game.
Particularly interesting or different
Yes
I’ve only played around 10 games, but I haven’t played any others quite like this one yet. I thought it was interesting how important the story was to the game.
Story
The story was an important part of the game and it was very interesting and easy to grasp onto if you pay attention. It continues to unfold throughout the game.
Difficulty
Hard
Pretty difficult - 30% escape rate according to the owner and website
Game tech
Mechanical
Mostly mechanical with a few high tech puzzles
Ideal number of players

4-5 players is perfect. We had 5 and I think it would have been slightly better with 4, but 5 was great nonetheless
Scary
Spooky
Really spooky ambiance with a few good jump scares and sudden prop openings.

It was spooky with a few jump scares. I wouldn’t bring small children into a room this difficult or scary.

You had to bend down to unlock some things but I wouldn’t call this physically active
Accessibility
It was very dark, but we were given flashlights. I personally really enjoyed it being darker, but I could see people with really poor vision having trouble in this room even with the flashlights. It may be difficult to get into parts of the room with a wheelchair, and make it tight for others to walk around, but you should be able to get a wheelchair into all parts of the game; it just wouldn’t be optimal.

We had no trouble finding parking and we’re able to park very close.
