Experience, designed to test you in ways you never thought possible! The 2nd unsolved mystery takes place in the basement in an unknown location. Another shocking game curated by Bill Tanner to test his victims. In THE BASEMENT, every decision you make will have a consequence, this is not a game for the faint of heart.

90 escape rooms

We booked Chapter 1 and 2 back to back which I think is the best way to experience these games! They can certainly serve as standalone games as no prior knowledge is required. Our gamesmaster Charlotte was incredibly friendly, super knowledgeable and evidently a massive escape room enthusiast! We could’ve geeked out about escape rooms all day! Iona was a phenomenal actress! Many people are put off by live actor elements but again like the first chapter, it really added to the story development, the interactions are meaningful and they’re not just their to scare you. The set design is incredible, unnerving and really utilises the natural feel of the fort. I’d consider this more a thriller than a horror with a few jumpscares but nothing too scary. This game has more puzzles than the cabin but smaller and still flows phenomenally. Highly Recommend!

Gameplay

The rooms flows exceptionally well from start to finish with clear objectives along the way!

Atmosphere

Set design as always with Unsolved Mysteries is second to none. The use of the external fort walls really added to the cold, dark basement vibe.

Customer service

Charlotte was incredibly friendly, super knowledgeable and evidently a massive escape room enthusiast!

Again the story plays perfectly into the flow of the game as you’re constantly learning about the killer and his victims.

Loved this game just as much as its prequel the cabin don’t no which one I like more both are outstanding and are my favourite all round escape rooms As the same as the cabin the basement gets a great balance of games while being fully immersed in your surroundings and the dilemma you are put in Details and Theming on point Though out the whole game Starting off are amazing host Charlotte gave us the back story and handed us a bag to place over are heads to blind fold us and led us to the starting point lol What can I say again lots of amazing twists and turns though out the whole experience keeping you on your toes Amazing use of a live actor not what you would expect 100% recommend but please do the cabin first you will not regret it Charlotte and Bradley are outstanding hosts and make a great experience an outstanding one I am so glad there is a chapter 3 coming I cannot wait to play that !!

Another fantastic room! I am glad we were able to do both Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 of the story. This room has a lot of puzzles to do in the hour so you really have to work fast. This room starts out linear and then becomes nonlinear towards the end. The clue system they use in this room and the Cabin are very interesting in a good way. I don’t want to give away too much :-)

Such an AMAZING game! We loved the whole experience from the moment we entered the building. The atmosphere, GM, storyline, puzzles and all staff was fantastic. One of our absolute favourites.

Had really high hopes after playing chapter 1. Enjoyed it but found it a bit too similar to chapter 1 in storyline. Still a solid room, and enthusiastic GM/owner.

The Basement is one of my all-time favourites! Was I slightly traumatised? Yes … but only because I was so immersed in the story.

The basement was the perfect continuation to the cabin , I recommend playing it right after chapter 1 so it feels like 1 big story The set is amazing the actor makes the game so special as the same in the cabin and the puzzles are all really tactile and rewarding
