The Cabin

A classic spooky cabin vibe with some unique puzzles. This room, whilst not on top of my Cipher list, still feels very well done and designed with the puzzle customisation a nice touch. Our game master Nathaniel was great, chatted with us heaps and helped move our booking forward as we finished some of the other rooms early. I didn’t find it overly scary and had some trouble with the theming not really connecting to some of the puzzles.

As Cipher’s oldest room The Cabin has all the markings of a traditional mechanical escape room but still delivers in terms of atmosphere and puzzle variety. Whilst not leaning too heavily into the horror of its premise, the experience was still super clever and personalised when it came to player interaction and immersion. Great room. Our Game Master Nathaniel was awesome and happy to talk shop post-game.

Another great experience with this company. Puzzle flow made sense and was fun. For our team it was the right level of challenging but didn’t have to ask for clues. A fun ending I didn’t expect.

The Cabin was a solid, fun escape. Was in a group of 4 instead of my usual 2-person setup, we got out with plenty of time to spare. The theme was solid, never really forgot we were chasing a serial killer, and the ending is next level! Good mix of padlocks and sensor puzzles. The souvenir pins are a sweet memento.

Completed with 5 people and no hints. This was one of my best escape room experienced! Set design was top notch and puzzles were all creative and fun. A lot of creative thinking was used rather than brainy problem solving. Often there were 2-3 things that can be worked on so a bigger group can multitask.

Spine tingling atmosphere which kept us on edge the entire time. The excellent combination of theming, story and puzzles flowed very well.

The perfect amount of suspenseful! Great puzzles and staff
