I would rate this as a top ten experience I have had, fabulous storytelling and room. If you are in Dallas, this is the room. I will admit I love Edgar Allen Poe, but even the five guys I played with, who don't know crap about Poe loved it. Some creepy moments, some lighthearted jump scares, but do not let that discourage you at all. Just a fabulous room. Some of the elements need to some tender loving care, but the unique way they handle the host more than makes up for some of that. I will say when you are confident you have solved a clue, make sure everyone is present and silent because the bells and whistles of this room are worth seeing. For a local non chain escape room, of the almost 80 rooms I have played this was easy top ten, maybe top five.

Very fun and well put together. The theme was done perfectly and the references to Poe's works were incorporated nicely.

So many highlights! -Poe references abound -Their subtle auditory clueing feels so atmospheric and immersive. -Our GM interactions were hauntingly cool. -There are so many unforgettable story beats and set pieces. -It’s always pretty obvious what is in play. The only question is how? -An epic finale One of my favorites out of nearly 170!

Awesome escape room! Challenging with use of multiple puzzle types. This room has a game master in costume and participating in the experience which ads a nice layer as well. Highly recommend!

We did this room with 2 people. The room was very fun with a lot of unique puzzles. There is a live actor to give you clues and it made it an even more fun experience. At times the room was a little scary but the staff at the front were very reassuring to all my anxieties before entering the room.

This was very immersive and we actually felt part of the story. Most of the time you don’t get to enjoy storyline because so many locks. This had very few. I felt like we were playing a game of clue. Will definitely be back to do other games at this place.
Very interactive and flowed well. Immersed you in the story.
It did have some jump scares but set design was done well.
The rules they go over are very very long and redundant but staff was friendly.

I asked someone who has designed multiple escape room what his favorite room was, and he said this one. So I had to try it when I was in Dallas. It's very cool. There's lots of neat things to find, and the puzzles are innovative.

The clue system is a live person. They are not in the room with you, but you do interact with them face to face (though a false mirror).

It's kind of in the back of a shopping center, and maps didn't lead me directly there. So you may have to drive around the center to find it.
