Loved the story and the vibe. Very creepy with a few good jump scares. The ending could use a little polish, especially the final "bonus" puzzle. Overall was lots of fun with a bunch of good puzzles that benefited from teamwork. Got stumped a few times but nothing was unfair. The staff was also amazing and made us definitely want to go back to Escape Room Herndon!

Genuinely fantastic! Nailed the atmosphere, puzzles, story, size, everything. Lots to do, surprises, twists, so immersive, so amazing! I was scared throughout, which is exactly what I want from a horror themed room.

Gameplay

Novel, immersive, fun props!

Atmosphere

AMAZING atmosphereβ€”so unsettling off the bat! Immaculate attention to detail and incredible interactive props

Customer service

Eve did such an incredible job giving the story and setting the mood!

Story

First time I’ve done a room with this kind of theme! A lot of escape rooms give some small, irrelevant story at the start of the room and then nothing really relates to it throughout the actually puzzling. This room was not like that at all! Extremely well integrated and focused story

After hearing good things about this room from other people, I decided to go with my team. I'm a sucker for good set design so the use of space and props made me excited. It's spooky without being overwhelming, and the tension ramps up definitely towards the end. The puzzles were challenging but not frustrating enough, we were always moving and everyone was doing something. Herndon always kills it with their rooms!

Very fun room with a great atmosphere. Immersive and challenging. The price here is pretty exorbitant so that’s the only thing making me question returning. I’ve done a lot of escape rooms and this is definitely at the high-end for price.

Fun room with a creepy storyline, unique puzzles, and a few good jump scares. We should have heeded the warning that it was best for 13+ as our 9 and 10 year old (who insisted on this room despite the clear warning) were pretty creeped out and one had to keep stepping out into the hallway, but the rest of us had a great time and we will definitely be back to do the other rooms considering how well done this one was.

Despite the scares from your very brave younglings, we are happy to hear you all had a great time! Luckily the hallway is a nice "escape" for those that need it. We look forward to welcoming you all back soon for another adventure!
