Escape the Darkest Hour: Torture Chamber

I rate this room a 3/5 (ck out my bio for rating system). The set matched the spooky serial killer theme perfectly. There were a couple fun surprises provided by our sneaky GM and a cool tech adventure. The puzzles were easy to medium in difficulty and nothing we hadn't seen before. I enjoyed the room well enough, therefore, would consider this an average escape room.

After reading other reviews, I was afraid to do this room knowing I hate horror movies and I’m terrified of the dark. Once in the room, and I got through the initial scare, I was a focused on the puzzles, I wasn’t bothered by the dim lighting and creepiness of the room. I really enjoyed the movement between rooms and appreciated the critical thinking required to solve the puzzles and open locks.

Wow!! What a fun experience. This was my groups third room escape room from Mission escape and they do not disappoint! AJ is a rockstar of GM. The experience was immersion in the best way. Definitely upping the spook factor in this room. The ambience was top notch. The puzzles fit the theme and were the perfect difficulty level!! I am excited to tackle on more room with them!

The set design was great! It really makes one feel that they're in a rundown, dirty house owned by serial killer who perhaps struggle with mommy issues. The downside was that the room was quite dim which made looking for puzzles and solving clues quite a feat. But I thoroughly enjoyed it. I was part of large group of people so we all just divided and conquered. There was also a bit of theatrics at the end involving the GM, which was very fun and unexpected. 😅

Loved this room! I had a bit of a mishap and thought the room was at 4:30 and I live two hours away so we showed up at 4:30 only to realize our room was at 4 and we were marked as a no show :( (completely our fault) They allowed us to play but only until the next group got there so we only had about 35 mins to play. We were so grateful they let us play even with half the time! Extremely kind GM I wish I got his name but we escaped nonetheless and is one of the fav rooms I’ve done! But that being said double check your reservations yall and be early!

Fun room, our game master Julia was very funny, and was nice enough to not subtract time when we were slightly late. The room was well designed, spacious enough for our group of 6, and some of the scares actually got some of us. Our group got through it pretty fast as the puzzles were fairly standard, so if you have a lot of experienced escape artists, something harder maybe be a better choice. Otherwise, for newbies or older kids who like horror this would great.

A very fun game. Not too difficult and with just enough atmosphere and scares to be a little spooky but not too scary. A few puzzles weren't super intuitive. Overall good room, would recommend to casual groups or for a good time, but not for puzzle or challenge seekers

Super cool room!! Lots of unique puzzles!!

This escape room is fantastic! The atmosphere is insanely well done, and it’s about as scary as it can be with no live actor. There aren’t a ton of jumpscares, which I think works to this room’s advantage. You’ll be on edge the entire time, and when a jump does come, it will always be in a way you don’t expect! Our game guide was wonderful and helpful, and the hint system plays in so well that it doesn’t break the immersion at all! My one warning would be not to bring too many people, or you’ll probably finish really quickly. There were only two of us, and we still had a relatively easy time. I think this is a great room for beginners if you can handle the scares. Even though the puzzles weren’t overly complex, the atmosphere and storytelling in this room alone makes it well worth your time!

I loved and hated this room… It was SOOOO well-done but was VERY scary for a chicken like me. I had trouble concentrating because it was so immersive.
