Annabelle

9/10 great horror room

Super scary, but heaps of fun! The puzzles were a nice balance, not too hard, but not too easy.

I'm never beating the over-thinker allegations. I was surprised to find that there was actually little amount of puzzles, though they were fun and creative. The room I understand is on the older side now, but could absolutely do with a revamp. Unfortunately there were many times my friend and I lost track and got distracted by items that were broken, missing, or difficult to move.

Scaryyyyy but puzzels were pretty good, one a little bit confusing and very sensitive to touch but otherwise great room and the staff were so nice!

Some cool use of the spaces. A couple of bits were in some disrepair. One short section had painfully loud audio.

We did the Annabelle room after doing 'The Nun' room at another Lost in Melbourne facility. Annabelle whilst a good concept overall with good puzzles was fairly run-down. The props were dated and it felt like the third room was incomplete and not very well thought out. I would recommend doing 'The Nun' room at the other Lost in Melbourne facility if you are looking for a scary escape room experience.

A good spooky room. One animatronic wasn't incredible but doesn't detract from the game either. Good puzzles, although one required item was pretty hard to find due to the lighting.

As Lost in Melbourne’s main attraction, it makes sense that Annabelle is by far their best room. With clever puzzles and set design, the room throws in a few fun curve balls that add a lot of variety and engagement. By utilising a very popular movie franchise players are able to easily familiarise themselves with the world and enjoy the experience more. Having majority of the gameplay set inside the Warren’s Occult Museum is immersive and fitting but can become tiresome when trying to identify which of the huge quantity of props actually need to be interacted with and which are just there for decoration. Not gamebreaking, just a peeve of mine. Having said that the main con for me just comes with the room’s age. Having been open for a fair few years the general wear and tear is starting to show in the form of scuffed paint, hot glue markings, exposed wires/tech and outdated mannequin quality. A revamp of this one would do it wonders! All round a solid, albeit tired room.
