Fright Before Your Eyes

For me this game was right on the brink between like and love. There were many things I loved about it. I went with like only because I feel like the game flow was not always intuitive and a few nudges were needed to clarify what should happen next. We've played many many games and can usually figure out how to proceed without getting a hint but there are a couple of spots in this game where I'm not sure anyone would know what happens next without a nudge. That being said, I loved the storyline, theming, effects and tech in this room very much.

I don’t really want to thumbs up nor thumbs down this one. This is an interesting concept but it doesn’t really feel like an escape room. This room needed a lot more puzzles and bit less of the alternative direction the room seemed to go for.

Plot:lame Story: cool idea but not cool execution. No flow. Very disappointed. Dont waste your time.

This room was fun, but it's very dark so some parts are challenging. There are a few obscure clues and the gamemasters are not super responsive.

Some challenging elements to this room and an overall fun theme. Not my favorite experience but worth trying this room out.

We had previously played their backstage room here before and this is the exact same room. They barely even changed the decor, they just cut all the lights. I actually don't care for not having a timer in the room. The whole room is pitch black and the only reason it is 90min is because you carry this little thing around and if you make a wrong decision it makes an excruciating noise for a solid 2 minutes and your game is basically paused in that time, but the timer is still going. Overall, we didn't care for the experience at all, but the game master was good!

I liked this game quite a lot. It is kind of a cross between an escape room and a hidden-object game. A malevolent magician murdered nine of his assistants before the tenth one murdered him. You have to explore the ruined theater to find out how to put the good spirits to rest and condemn the bad one. Most puzzles involve making connections between elements in the environment and figuring out which specific item is associated with each spirit then “scanning” that item with a “spirit box.” If you’re right, the ghost will tell you you their story: if you’re wrong, the box will lock you out for two minutes (which is a bit long in my opinion, but they don’t want you just scanning everything). The game is played in the dark with each player getting their own flashlight, and many of the ghostly clues are written such that they are read with a blacklight. You’ll either like this or you won’t, but it is how the game works. I liked it and I thought that there was a good variety in the ways you identify the various key objects. Some of the ghosts’ stories of how they were killed are a bit graphic so might not be good for younger children, but there is no overt gore and there are no jump scares. Recommended.

Enjoyed this room. A little different than what we expected. Great atmosphere and a very helpful game master. Sometimes I felt stuck but my team assured me I wasn’t.
