Deep Underground

Rating: 4/5 - Highly immersive set with lots of tech and effects Pros: ➕The set looked fantastic and was highly immersive, it really felt like were were in an underground mine. Everything was decorated floor to ceiling and made to look appropriately grimey. ➕Multiple areas to explore, the set felt a bit claustrophobic (but in a good way which felt realistic) ➕Lots of custom made tech interactions, minimal padlocks ➕Lighting was dark but good quality flashlights were provided ➕Use of audio, scents, lighting, and special effects ➕Narrative is integrated into the puzzles and set ➕Puzzles were decent with a nice variety ➕GM was friendly and helpful when needed Room for improvement: ➖One particular puzzle was unintuitive for us based on the digits, they should've used a different combo lock, it caused us to get stuck for a while. ➖While the ending effects were cool, I feel like the grandness of the ending sequence was a bit disappointing and too cramped. I was hoping there would be more, like a bigger reveal, but the set got less interesting as we progressed. I'd recommend a team of 2-3 enthusiasts due to the cramped spaces. We played as a team 2 and finished with plenty of time left. There is no crawling or climbing required. Update: My ranking of the 4 rooms I played here starting with my favorite: 1. Welcome to the Machine ❤️ Play this if you like a puzzle dense game requiring cooperation, no padlocks, and an exciting finale. 2. Deep Underground ❤️ Play this for the highly immersive set, effects, and tech. 3. Sins if Faustus❤️ Play this for the narrative and theatrics 4. Barnyard Winds 👍This room has lower immersion but is better for beginners and families

This room is extremely immersive, like almost scary immersive. i had to remind myself that the real world was out the exit door. probably the best set ive ever been in, cool storyline, well placed puzzles and timing. you would never regret doing this room!

Our family has done all 4 current rooms at Captivating Worlds. My wife and I did Deep Underground just the two of us. We thought that was great - it would be ok with 4 people but would feel crowded with more. We successfully escaped with only minor hints (one was a lock where we'd tried the right code and the lock was just sticking a little, so they told us to try again, and one was a hidden item we'd missed that would definitely have been found if we had more people looking around). The theming and experience were fantastic.

Again, Captivating Worlds is so cool. I really like that in Deep Underground there are multiple rooms and you are going back and forth between rooms multiple times to complete puzzles. There are also a wide variety of types of puzzles. The experience is incredibly well themed and had a good story. We had six people in our group and I’d say at multiple times throughout the experience we felt quite cramped, so I think 3-4 max would be best.

I had so much fun at Captivating Worlds The Sins of Doctor Faustus that I got my wife to come back with me the next day! Deep Underground is yet another amazing escape room, a far more claustrophobic and stress filled experience, but that did so much to add to the experience and joy of getting out in time!

We completed the Deep Underground room and it was fantastic! Very immersive and well thought out. One of the best we’ve been to hands down. I can’t wait to go back and try the other rooms!

Best game we have played at this location. Second best game of all so far. Scaleable game based on party size. Hands down AMAZING. Made my wife’s birthday special

We really enjoyed the design of this room and all the employees were so friendly.

Absolutely would recommend to others, this was one of the top rooms we've ever done! Our GM was the owner and designer of the rooms, David, and he made sure we understood everything at the end.
