“Very solid game in terms of puzzles, they all flowed nicely, made complete sense, and did not require large leaps in logic, which can be hard to find in some escape rooms. The decor is exactly what you would expect, a pretty standard office/study theme, but is nicely put together. A very good room if you want an experience more focused on puzzles rather than theming!”

Secretly stowed away in this inconspicuous cargo train, you patiently wait to arrive at Eagleton City where you will act as a key witness in the upcoming trial. But unbeknownst to you and your fellow passengers, this train was never meant to make it to the end of the line. It would appear your cover has been blown and your identities revealed. With the doors locked, and the train’s speed rising, can you escape off of this runaway train before it’s too late?

“This was such a fun and creative escape room! The use of a real train car was incredibly clever, and the space was utilized so well. It felt authentic and immersive from beginning to end. We loved that there was such a great variety of puzzles, and the way we had to adapt to different areas of the train car kept things exciting throughout the entire experience. Definitely one of my favorite rooms we’ve done so far!”

Reopening for 2026. Hours, dates, and admission may vary — check official site for current details. Last verified: 8/31/2026 Dread Hollow was established in the early 1600s. A small farming community that would forever have its reputation tainted by one of its first settlers, Mercy Harker. In a sinister plan to bring untold evil to Dread Hollow, Mercy convinced the founding fathers the town was being led into the depths of depravity and darkness by thirteen young women she claimed were a coven of witches. The witch trials lasted only three days before fear forced the founders to pass the guilty verdict. The constable, Jedidiah Kane, was tasked with the executions. All thirteen women were hanged, and their bodies burned. As smoke from the smoldering corpses filled the air, a cackling sound began to echo through Main Street. Mercy Harker had watched her wicked scheme unfold from the clock tower. Through the howls of her maniacal laughter, she screeched, “This town is now mine!” Lightning streaked from the sky, striking the tower and sending it tumbling to the street, supposedly killing Mercy. As the blood of the thirteen innocents spilled upon the soil, a curse struck Dread Hollow, summoning darkness and evil that would forever terrorize the town. Throughout the years, more people have gone missing in Dread Hollow than in any other small town in America. The darkness that shadows Dread Hollow is said to have spawned from Ruby Falls Haunted Cavern. The evil that resided in the Haunted Cavern terrified visitors for decades before seeping down the mountain and settling on the town of Dread Hollow.
