An escape room in the catacombs of a church – quite an experience! I did imagine it to be a bit larger, but the puzzles are really well designed and the atmosphere is fantastic. The ending is especially spectacular and adds a real sense of urgency. The actors fit their roles perfectly and contribute a lot to the overall mood. There aren’t any traditional jump scares, but there is one part that definitely calls for someone brave – not for the faint-hearted, but brilliantly done!

As a disclaimer, horror games aren't my favorite genre. Having said that, the Catacombs felt like a decent implementation. While I did hear negative stories from a friend about their experience, my group had a smooth playthrough. The game's creators make good use of a creepy found space; the set was pretty good. Puzzles were fine. As usual with horror games, I wish the lighting was better. There's a solo moment that I didn't do but sounded a little disappointing, and I'm not sure if it's fire safe.

More jump scares and cinematics, not really chasing (though a friend did unexpectedly get chased a bit in their playthrough, so YMMV)

The entire group will have to crawl for a moderate distance. Low light and flickering light sources.

No parking that I recall, you should plan to walk or bike.

The experience starts the moment you ring the doorbell... and that already sets the mood. I really appreciated that you get the chance to use the restroom before the “investigation” begins (and again afterwards). Also, the staff member mentioned it’s better to wear fewer layers since it can get warm inside, very true! Luckily, I had a T-shirt under my sweater. I went with my husband, brother-in-law, and sister-in-law, and before you know it, you’re completely drawn into the story. The atmosphere, the set design, the mystery, and the creepy factor are all incredibly well done. Such an intense and awesome experience! It definitely helps to have a good puzzle-solver in your group. I’m not the best at puzzles myself, but I still managed to contribute. All in all, a fantastic experience, well thought out and full of attention to detail. Highly recommended if you enjoy immersive and thrilling escape rooms!

An underrated room - everything is just solid and heaps of fun, from the detailed and antique set design to the REAL underground location to the seamless flow and solid narrative frame. This room deserves more praise than some highly technology- and engineering-dependent names whose names circulate internationally.

Gameplay

Fun tasks and puzzle, always logical, great guidance with light and sound clues.

Atmosphere

Wonderfully detailed set, and the underground smell is great! The unease is great, while not actively scary.

Customer service

Very friendly GM (at least post-game :D), and committed to the bit.

Particularly interesting or different

Yes

This is exactly what a strong (yet accessible for less experienced players) room should be. Flow, story, surprises... without marvels of engineering, but does A LOT with less than other flashier games.

Spooky

Spooky but not scary (for us experienced players). Some noisy jump scares (not all necessary), but nobody will jump in your face. Unease created by the set, and one wonderfully claustrophobic scene for one single player. Also, trigger warning: religious themes :)

The end can get a bit intense. Remember it's fiction :)

Finally a room without color puzzles! Some crouching, light crawling - though the ceilings are low and some passages quite narrow (it's catacombs, after all...).

Creepy fun abounds! I was worried about how scary it would be but it was wonderfully immersive but not emotionally scarring (lol). Highly recommend if you want a spooky environment with great actors and interesting puzzles. Chandler and Dalia were phenomenal hosts from start to finish.
