The Ghost Of Mentryville

Unique room indeed, the live actor was excellent as well. I saw a review about someone saying their group had strange dreams the same night they played this room, and I will attest to that 100%!

What a lovely lovely room! Perigee was an incredible GM/Sammy. The room blew us away with what could be possible in a small space. We had so much fun with such a story driven room, strong acting, and solid puzzling. Definitely play with just 2 enthusiasts or 4 beginners. Nothing was difficult and everything flowed beautifully. So much fun!!

Don’t be fooled by the small size and stature of this one-room experience — it has a surprisingly deep level of gameplay, and a compelling story that literally goes from micro to macro, guided by a live character who acts as spooky exposition and subtle, living hint system. There’s no timer here, so slow down, immerse yourself in the creepy lore, listen to everything that Sam has to say (and I do mean *everything*), play along with the mildly horrific story (but don’t worry, no jump scares), and let the solutions to the just-right puzzle challenges pull you into the experience. Don’t rush. It’s great.

Where to begin…. It is very different than what most people consider an escape room. But it is an absolutely beautiful experience! It is the smallest escape room I have ever done and the amount of storytelling, immersion, and attention to detail will blow most escape rooms away. It deserves every award it is given! This will hold a special place in my heart for a long time to come. If you are an escape room enthusiast, please do not miss out of this room!!!

one of the most personal experiences i’ve ever played. a crazy amount of things unique about this experience. if you’re not too claustrophobic, just book this experience and enjoy. no other thing to tell you ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

This room was highly rated so I feel like I went into this with super high expectations. So up against those expectations, I felt a little disappointed. It did not live up to the hype for me but it was still a unique experience. Our live actor was great - shout out to Perigee! The room is very tiny and at one point I had to step out to get water because I was feeling a bit faint. They warn you ahead of time that it’s gory and it’s not that bad but all three of us did have unsettling dreams that night. The concept was not my favorite, nor was the ending we landed on but the puzzle structure was memorable.

I really loved the storyline type puzzles with live actor to manage each group. Every puzzle is connected and related to all storyline the narrator tells us.

This game was so creepy and fun! Our actor was amazing, giving us helpful hints without giving too much away and staying in character. The storyline unfolded in a way that turned the linear gameplay cyclical, and the entire environment of the room was used to great effect linking the miniature versions of each room and the larger equivalent. Overall very charming, high quality props, and well written! Highly recommend for 2 people!

One of the best rooms I’ve ever experienced. A near-perfect blend of gripping story and mind-blowing puzzles, all wrapped up in a super tiny yet dense room. The live actor, the titular Ghost, is the main attraction, and he is amazing. In the room the entire time with you, the Ghost is not there to scare, but there to share. Though our interactions with him were technically brief, he was always there guiding us through his intricate story, filled with surprises, intrigue, and blood. The Ghost masterfully pulled us in to the room, and the central prop, which is creatively woven into the space. I had chills the entire time. While the room itself isn’t technically scary, there are creepy moments, intense drama, and loads of gore. There’s a dreamlike quality that I can’t describe, and I felt comfortable and yet also anxious at the same time, as the story unfolded. The finale will stick in my mind long after today. There’s no game loss condition here, nor a time limit. The ghost will be there with you until you finish the storyline no matter how long it takes. There’s a reason why this small room is rated so highly. It’s worth a trip to see this Ghost. It’s like seeing an old friend again.

What a great room! Firstly, its core design idea —what you’ll experience in terms of the relationship between one central object (here undisclosed!) and the rest of the room—unfolds in an inventive, constantly thrilling way. Secondly, one of the best incorporations of a live actor I’ve experienced. Thirdly, a small space that does an awful lot. Fourthly, a fun, macabre story. Do this room if you can!
