Vlad the Vampire needs your help! Heโ€™s no ordinary Vampire, heโ€™s Vegan, easily scared and feels faint at the sight of blood!
Each year, a Council of the oldest and most powerful vampires in the world reunite in Transylvania. Their mission is to ensure the survival of their species by training and assessing the talents and abilities of all young vampires. To pass the test, Vlad must ace all the challenges the Council has prepared and prove his power by showing immunity to man made weapons, potions and steal the Medallion from one of the elder Vampires.
Vlad, unable to complete the test asks you to do it for him! You have exactly one hour until midnight, when all vampires awake.

Played with my 11yo, our first try as a duo.

Interesting, original puzzles, helpful hints when needed.

All on theme, linear (worked well for two of us) - fun game.

๐Ÿ˜จcreepy

We enjoyed this room, there were quite a few puzzles we hadn't encountered before which were lots of fun and the concept was unique. 

There was a riddle we got quite stuck on and we could have done with a note pad to help us work things out (we aren't great at mental maths). There was also quite a difficult physical puzzle which was frustrating but if you are patient (which I am not, but luckily my team mates are!) then you can work through it.

Be warned, there isn't really a waiting room here at time of writing (host informed us everything was removed during pandemic but might bring back soon) so don't arrive too early!

originalbroken tech

A solid room unfortunately hampered by a technical issue early on. Host apologised and resolved but it broke up the flow a little. Some original ideas and themed quite well

Vlad the Vegan Vampire needs your help, as he can't stand the sight of blood he can't enter the crypt of his father to retrieve a mystical item... so he's enlisted your help. The adventure has some great innovative puzzles in there, with one that we enjoyed so much that we wanted another go!
The production of the room is excellent and nicely themed, and despite the theme there was even enough light in there for my tired old eyes. A great mix of puzzle types so theres something for everyone and spooky theme is perfect for families as its Halloween spooky without being all out scary.
Well worth a visit to south Cumbria.
