The Whispering Halls

Set design at Enchambered is outstanding, and Whispering Halls is one of their best. Most of the interactions are tech, leading to an appropriate feeling of spookiness. Stepping into the second room was jawdropping - I wanted to just pause and take in everything -- and simply seeing one particular door had me thinking "this is clearly cursed, and I'm not sure I want to go in there". There's a lot going on in this room - our group of 5 enthusiasts was constantly working on stuff. Space felt more of a constraint than content - the first room was a little cramped at 5, and there were later sequences that were smaller. This might pose a problem for less experienced groups. There was usually more than one thing to work on, and keeping track of stuff was a little difficult (both due to our group size and because we spread out) - there were multiple times when one person would pick up something that had already been dealt with. That's partly on us - we should have organized better - but IMHO also partly due to the design of the room. Puzzlewise, there were some slightly bumpy spots: I think one spot was underclued where we ended up needing a hint, there was a search fail because of ambiguity about what we were looking for, and the graphic design of one prop made us think it was supposed to be used in the wrong place.

9/10

Again we told our GM that we would like to see the whole game and to nudge us along. But once again that didn’t happen. We only made it into the last room because I was still solving puzzles while Tracy was talking to the GM in the front room. It’s a very fun game with a great set, I just wished we could have finished it. This makes my loss/win ratio now at 4 losses and 503 wins. With 2 of my losses coming from this company. 😢

We had a great time. Enchambered is one of the top notch escape rooms in the area.

One of the very rooms I ever did…I’ve now done over 200 and it’s still one of my top 3! It started the bar pretty high (I had done one other game before this it was terrible but it showed me the difference)…it’s a little spooky but not too bad! I don’t like scary rooms and I loved this one!

This room was fantastic, as are The Skull Witch and Containment Breach. Enchambered just makes super fun, very well designed, atmospheric rooms with wonderfully inventive and complex puzzles! I can’t wait to do their fourth room!

It is a little scary experience. The sound and atmosphere were spooky, but no NPC. There are a lot of puzzles that are parallel, so people can divide into groups and focus on different parts of the game. I like this kind of design a lot! But this means, you should have at least about 6 people to the game. We had 6 and most of the time we work in 2 or 3 groups and solve different puzzles. The whole escape room is super big with several rooms. I think 6-8 people is a reasonable number of people you should have in your group.

This is the second room we’ve played at Enchambered and this place really knows how to build puzzles. Unlike a lot of other places, the rooms are filled with lots of pieces and parts so that every time you open something you end up getting a piece you needed and another thing you have no idea where it goes. It must take a while to reset these rooms. It’s also chalk full of good tech. We didn’t finish the room but man did we have a good time trying.

This room is definitely one of the scariest rooms I’ve been in! I went with a group of 10 people, most of whom were first time escapers. Each person participated in at least two puzzles. We escaped with 3 minutes to spare and 5 hints. All of the first timers enjoyed it and wanted to do another escape room already! I wouldn’t suggest this room to a group of all first-time escapers. At least one person should be familiar with escape rooms in order to have a fully enjoyable experience.

Enchambered has some of the best escape rooms you can possibly ask for.
