As you enter the cabin, a chilling atmosphere surrounds you, hinting at the sinister intentions of the Master. Bound by one of his loyal servants, you have only 60 minutes before his twisted plans come to fruition.

With time ticking away, you and your companions scour the cabin for clues, each discovery bringing you closer to escape. But the Master's puzzles grow more intricate, testing your wit and nerve with every twist and turn.

As the final minutes slip away, the tension reaches its peak. Will you outsmart the Master and break free from his clutches, or will you become another victim of his malevolent schemes? Your fate hangs in the balance as the clock relentlessly counts down.

Enjoyed the room, good set design and the puzzles were of a good caliber too. A little creepy, but not too scary for those who don't like scary games!

A Very Mild Case of Cabin Fever

We got a deal from Planet Offers, meaning the total price was around £30.

Story

Lost in the woods with no phone battery, venture into the cabin to get its radio working and call for help.

Puzzles

They were fine…but in short supply!

Mise-en-scene

Starting off outside the cabin, it’s a little dark and mysterious. Once inside, there’s a slight menacing vibe, with one or two opportunities for a spook. However, some of the props are so low-grade that they take you out of the story.

Final Comments

This room was over before we knew it: there was over 20 minutes left on the clock. I’m glad we didn’t pay full price based on its limited length. There were 6 of us, and everyone in the party had played at least 5 or 6 games. You only need 2-4 people to make it a more worthwhile challenge.

Well themed and decorated room with a very good game flow, its a room that experienced players will find alittle easy, but the puzzles and narrative are enough to keep you immersed and interested.

One of the better rooms I have played within the Escape Franchise but fairly simply for experienced players. The themed is well done with a few original puzzles to boot. But nothing out of this world. Still a great game for beginners

The GM's reckon Seven Seas is the hardest room at the venue but I reckon this gives it a run for its money, whilst not as visually striking as Seven Seas, the scenography is still effective.  Effectively a game of two halves, both non-linear in nature, the first luls into a false sense of security as it's quite quick but then the real work begins.

Reviews by escape room review sites

The premise of The Cabin is that while you were camping in some remote location, someone has raided your tent, stolen some of your possessions, and left you a threatening note challenging you to come to his cabin and get them back. And of course you accept the challenge, rather than doing the obvious and sensible thing of getting out of there and calling the police.

A little theft is pretty tame by the standard of cabin-dwelling maniacs, and although The Cabin is theoretically a scary theme it’...

Even standing in the hallway, it’s clear that the set design for this game is leagues above the games we had played here previously. The Cabin is a solid, well thought out room, and worth playing if you’re planning to visit Peterborough
