F.E.A.R.

The vibe was dark, spooky and a bit scary. Because of the scare factor, the room itself is 70 mins instead of the usual 60 mins. Overall, an excellent room with good puzzles.

Going into the room I was expecting lots of scares and spooky puzzles. Unfortunately it was mainly quick pop ups and jumps that occurred in a room that was literally just a living room so the immersion wasn’t really there for me. The storyline was confusing throughout, it chose a strange reason for why we were in the house itself and then made it even more confusing with the story elements that were meant to connect through. Getting let in through to a scarier room then having to crawl out back into an earlier room to “win” felt like an unsatisfying ending as it didn’t really explain why we were able to get through the now unlocked door apart from the fact that the Game Master had come to get us. Was rather disappointed at the scare factor and storyline but the room was dressed decently and had a lot of puzzles.

Based on some previous reviews my friends and I were led to believe that F.E.A.R was amongst the scariest experiences Sydney had to offer. Unfortunately it didn’t live up to that kinda hype but it still had some fun moments with quite a lot of puzzles to go through. The storyline became more and more confusing/obscure as it went on but that’s usually the deal with horror rooms.

Fantastically scary and creepy room!
