The Bayou: The Legend of the Midnight Raven

Great room but it malfunctioned for us in certain parts. It happens with rooms some times :)

The first half of the room was by far my favorite! There is a lot of automated narration, so pay attention the first time because doing things over to review the clues eats up your time. The second half of the experience was not our favorite and required a ton of reading, which is very frustrating when you’re on a time crunch. My husband has done nearly 200 rooms and I’m close to 150 so we have a pretty good feel for pacing ourselves. This experience had enough puzzles for two typical rooms so you’ll need to hurry faster than you think to finish.

Recommended for experienced players or larger groups. Another high tech room. Did feel like there was a lot going on and was easy to get side tracked. Overall a fun room and the owner of very nice as well as helpful.

This room was challenging. We did it with 4 people and barely escaped. At first I wasn’t happy with the help feature inside the room since I felt like it was cheating but after a while, I realized, it is necessary. The room is very dark and that hindered us a bit for some of the puzzles. The puzzles were very unique and did take brain power. Overall, I enjoyed all of the rooms here.

The game played more like an RPG. You wait for directions and do the task you’re asked. The second half of the room involves ALOT of reading. It was a snooze fest for us.

This room is very well done and extremely challenging. The room designer is amazingly detailed. You will be mentally exhausted by the end, in my opinion. This, in my opinion, is by far the toughest of the 3 rooms. If you do it with 2 ppl, you’ll have fun, but don’t expect to get out. You really need 4-6 here. The only negative with any of the these rooms, and I’m nitpicking here, is that the room designer enjoys using speakers. There is a lot of auditory listening involved and if you miss something, you have to wait for the entire track to finish and start over. This can be frustrating and really slow you down. Overall, I’d give this room an 9.5 out of 10.

Very impressive room. The tech, sights, and sounds are cool. You must be good at listening. Best to have more than two people.

Great immersion and fun hint system. Puzzles are well thought out. A bit harder than an average room.

There is a huge immersion factor with the second in Entrapment’s trilogy just like their other rooms. I felt a couple of the puzzles in this particular room were a little problematic in execution, so the flow wasn’t as great, but still the sheer thought that has gone into the story and set design balances out these little irritants.
