Mark as done to rate

It’s the year 1954, and you are a team of investigative journalists with a very particular assignment. Woodcrest Institution for the mentally insane has been reported multiple times due to allegations of patients disappearing without a trace. Your team suspects that Dr. Warren, the creepy and eccentric lead psychiatrist, may have something to do with the disappearances. The only way to know for sure is to infiltrate the inside. Donned in straightjackets**, your team will venture into the decrepit asylum to see what Dr. Warren is really hiding behind these walls. But beware, the hospital staff is only on break for the next hour, so time is of the essence. You have 60 minutes to search the premises and discover the truth before the nurse returns. Will you uncover the real reason these patients went missing? Or will be forever committed to the asylum?

6/10 The room is a bit tricky. Puzzles will range from absurdly easy to mind numbly hard. Not much of a story and not much to their production. All in all it’s not bad, just recommended for more experienced players.

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. We’re glad to hear you found some of the puzzles engaging, and we appreciate your note about the difficulty range — this room is intentionally designed with a mix of approachable and more challenging moments to accommodate different play styles. This particular game is also one of our earlier builds, and while the story and production style are simpler than some of our newer rooms, we’ve continued to grow and evolve our design approach over time. For guests looking for deeper narrative and more immersive production, we often recommend our more recent rooms. We appreciate your perspective and are glad you gave this one a try!

I truly enjoyed this room! The Game Master was so kind and sweet but most of all it was just a fun time. I see reviews about the flow but I felt the flow was fine. Totally playable with 2 people but for newbies I would recommend 3 or 4.

Thank you for the feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the design elements and flow didn’t land for your group. While the vast majority of teams find the progression and straightjacket moment engaging, we understand that not every style resonates with every player. We appreciate you sharing your thoughts privately and will keep them in mind as we continue to refine the experience.

Beautifully designed and themed room. I do wish multiple people could be in locked straight jackets for groups >2, but set design as always was spot on and the clues not too obvious. All locks functioned as expected with a great GameMaster (Mark) who allowed us to solve things on our own, even when the clock was ticking down.

Gameplay

Novel clues and ways in which they inter-related to each other. Played with a group of 5 total (1 person who had never done a room before) and everyone thoroughly enjoyed it!

Atmosphere

Immersive with proper lighting changes and atmosphere

Customer service

Incredible GM (Mark) and very welcoming staff as always.

Incorporated some historically-relevant medical facts into clues seamlessly.

Thank you so much for the thoughtful review! I’m really glad you enjoyed the design, atmosphere, and puzzle flow — and I appreciate the kind words personally. 😊 We totally get the feedback about the straightjackets for larger groups. The setup is designed so everyone can still fully participate in solving, but I’ll keep that suggestion in mind as we continue refining and updating our games. I’m so happy you had a great experience and hope we’ll see you again soon for another adventure! 🗝️✨ — Mark

You can choose to start this room in straight jackets! Lighting is a little too low. Took us awhile to get started, but then everything went smoothly. Solid room!

Thanks for the review! We’re glad to hear things flowed well once you got going. The straightjacket start is optional, and we love that groups can choose their own level of immersion. We’ve also made some lighting adjustments in this room recently to help make the early steps feel clearer. Thanks again for coming out to play with us!

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! This particular room is actually one of our more challenging experiences and is generally recommended for players with some escape room experience. The puzzles are layered and require teamwork and critical thinking, which is part of what makes it a favorite among enthusiasts. For groups who are newer to escape rooms, we’re always happy to help recommend one of our more beginner-friendly rooms with a smoother learning curve. Thanks again for coming out to play with us!
