Between the years 1870 and 1900, Mentryville, a small oil drilling town of 200 residents was an ideal community of modest homes and puritan ideals. A seemingly perfect, quiet town to raise a family... but few know of Mentryville's darkest secret.

Go to this room! It is incredible. It is spooky but it is worth every second. It is unique and unlike any room I have done before. We loved it and will recommend it to everyone.

8/10 When less equals more. So much more. Prepare to be transported into this immersive experience. Like a magician, this room expertly guides your eyes and attention to believe the limited square footage is much grander than what actually appears. Each puzzle is creative, satisfying, and tactile. Slowly unraveling the intriguing story that snakes its way through every moment. This room is intimate. Max of 3 players, preferably done with 2. Make the trip to Arcane Escape Rooms. The Ghost of Mentryville is worth it alone.

Literally a hidden gem. 💎 This room is magic and immersive and just totally spectacular in details and design. Best for a small group. Max 3 players I think.

Bro how have I missed out on playing this game for years? It’s truly one of the best games I’ve played in a long time, absolutely rock solid storytelling and puzzles that tie everything together. I think REA put it best as “The best escape room in California that nobody has played”. Go play this game, seriously. Our GM was Perigee and they were absolutely fantastic. Best experienced with a group of 2-3.

The best ‘content per square foot’ game I’ve played

This game throws a massive wrench in the common belief that single room games are not "good". This was an amazing game and I am really glad I got the chance to play it.

A masterclass in doing a lot with a little. This room gave more of a comprehensive experience than most escape rooms I've done ten times its size. Amazing acting as well. The actor matched our energy and tone expertly and gave us an experience that I'll never be able to forget.

A very different kind of room. It’s much more centralized in terms of game play and story based. So you actually have to tune in to the story, there’s no rush to finish. It took a moment to get used to. Definitely a change of pace. We enjoyed ourselves.
