The Skull Witch

The atmosphere, theming, and set design in general were amazing! Good puzzles, too. Probably ideal for two people but you can also parallelize.

Very awesome set design although very difficult for our small family only got to about 40% complete. Jordan improved our experience and knew to avoid giving us a hint after not finishing…. so we can try again! Thank you again for a memorable experience Enchambered staff, solid room! Update: went the next day and enjoyed every minute and finished with 14 minutes to spare without hints! Shelby was so gracious and welcoming loved having her as our game master.

This was an incredible experience. I had an absolute blast. It was challenging in a good way and I LOVED the set design and everything inside the room. The puzzles were also very unique. I would definitely recommend this room.

Did this a long time ago, but was blown away by it, and still think about it with some frequency. Great theme, super inventive puzzles, beautiful and immersive design. Super challenging, but thankfully we had a good crew with us.

Really fun but we felt a little overwhelmed with so many pieces of puzzles all showing up at once- it was hard to juggle it all correctly. The atmosphere was epic. Staff were very cool and helpful. Really cool experience but I would highly suggest taking a few people that have done escape rooms before as this is very difficult and it’s their hardest room. Lots of stuff to do- we didn’t even come close to finishing.

Enchambered has really good set design, and I think Skull Witch is their best (at least so far) -- if you're an enthusiast and only play one game here (but why though?), choose this one. Just stepping through the initial door sets the tone for the entire game, and the rest does not disappoint. Unlike most other games, there are multiple areas available from the start, which is both good and bad - it's good because it reinforces the feeling of entering another space, not just a converted office building, and bad because there was a lot of ground to cover right away. Puzzles felt pretty good. The self-serve hint system was a little unusual; having hints instantly available instead of waiting for the GM seems like something more games would ideally be doing (but is understandably dependent on a certain level of tech). I thought there was a good balance of content and difficulty for our team of 5 enthusiasts. We finished with a decent amount of time to spare (though we were also flowing pretty well), and there was plenty of space.

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!
