This was a challenging horror themed game, the puzzles were cryptic in places. Although we didn’t escape we sure would try again, then next time our escape will be successful.
If I'm ever kidnapped by a murderous psycho, at least I'll have had no shortage of practice at extricating myself from creepy dungeons!

Although this room is creepy, and it certainly is creepy, I wouldn’t really call it a scary room and it is definitely fun

We came to The Dollhouse with a sense of trepidation. Firstly, because it looked to be the first proper horror game we had played, but more because… well we’re not that great at escape rooms. Obviously we’re pretty good, mainly because at this point we’ve done loads. But I see other bloggers knocking out leaderboard placings, 40-minute finishes and all-time records left, right and centre.

This is probably R’s favourite Room to date. She loves a horror themed room and this certainly did not disappoint. The way you start the game is great and not to give too much away but it certainly adds to the overall experience.
