The Skull Witch

Skull Witch: An evil witch with an evil plan. Could we rescue her victim and escape her lair? Pros: We were escorted through the creepy waiting room into the creepy escape room. Our first impression (after overcoming our sheer sense of terror) was that the set design was just WOW. Once the door closed behind us and we stopped flipping out, we cautiously began to explore the cabin. The set was seriously amazing and the puzzles were all aligned to the theme. The tech in the room added to the awesomeness of the experience. We played as a group of six and stumbled our way through the puzzles. The storyline was full of twists and turns that only enhanced the experience. We were surprised on more than one occasion but for the faint of heart, there is no need to fear. This is not a haunted house type of horror experience. Cons: We really had no idea what was going on through most of the game. We were all very motivated and ready to play. Still the puzzles were much too complex for us to grasp. Hints from the gamemaster helped move us along. The timer went off well before we completed the game. Nevertheless, we left the game happy thanks to the amazing set and fun game design. Enchambered lives up to its reputation as the best in Sacramento. Definitely check out Skull Witch - but be prepared to watch your success rate fall.

I am consistently awed by Enchambered rooms and I go out of my way to do one anytime I visit Sacramento. The Skull Witch features unique touch puzzles that feel like magic and the timer and clue system are SO cool and immersive. There was plenty to do and this room won’t feel crowded even with the maximum 8 people. It is a tough room but all the puzzles make sense and man it is it FUN! The effects are so cool. Note that it DOES have stairs and also a couple of jump scares.

After being greeted by our GM we were told that this game has a 10% escape rate. So we told our GM to nudge us along so we could see the whole game. This game was very difficult for us even with over 1000 games played combined. Our GM failed to help us along and we didn’t get to see the ending. He told us we probably needed another 10 minutes to finish. It does have a great set but the puzzles are very tough so be prepared.

Honestly, I'm genuinely surprised we escaped 🤣 literally down to the last second it felt! Some nice, unique puzzles. I do agree there felt like a little lack of direction with not knowing when stuff would be needed, but the hint system didn't hesitate to help. I do feel like the hint system was a little buggy, giving us hints for puzzles we had already completed. Overall, though, the room was very good and very atmospheric and on theme. A little more spooky than I typically care for, but I would still recommend it!

Great set design, but too hard for 4 people.

Great atmosphere throughout the game! The puzzles were really well done and had a good combo of things that weren’t just locks. The only thing that made this game a bit harder is that it was hard to figure out what should be done with things and clues you find and in what order they will be needed. I actually liked it though as it made the entire game another puzzle in a way. We were on the last puzzle and just ran out of time. Needed about 1 more minute, almost had it.

Awesome room with good theming, great non linear puzzles, fairly high difficulty but good game mastering got us through the room in the nick of time. Would recommend

One of the best decorated rooms I’ve done yet. Such a great atmosphere. Many puzzles to do that need to be spread out amongst the group. Our group of 4 barely escaped with 2 seconds left. When booking it’s described as challenging and that’s not a lie. They really scratch at your brain and test your memory and reaction speed. The puzzles themselves I can describe as time consuming. The actions you do in order to progress rely on your reaction speeds. There were multiple rooms to open which kept the game suspense up and not boring. Worker was chill and I can’t wait to try the other rooms.

Too hard for four people. Too many puzzles. You have 6.5 min on average to solve each puzzle to escape

One of the most memorable rooms I have done . Excellent theme,props, and atmosphere. Puzzles were engaging and the story was captivating.
