It's been 5 years since the last victim of the killer, now known as the 'The Collector', was reported missing. Whilst on a camping trip, 4 friends inadvertently stumble across the location the police have been searching for all these years, The Collector's home. The rumoured site of the killing spree. Waking up in pitch black you find yourself disorientated and handcuffed to a wall. You have unknowingly rekindled the Collector's thirst for blood. Can you escape before he returns?

This can be the first paragraph of your review, or a short summary, or left blank, as you prefer. Anything longer than a couple of lines may get truncated.
We found this room very atmospheric due to a creepy story, realistic set and starting handcuffed in the dark. The ability to work together and search thoroughly were key. We really enjoyed ourselves but did find the puzzles difficult. Would highly recommend.
Shackled, what a great game! It's so tricky not to give spoilers, but I will say team work is super important in this room. Searching is important and don't be put off by the small space because it packs a punch and there is plenty to do.
A fun room that we really loved and it's in the top 5 of our area for us. Great game!!
What is it about serial killers who are so punctual. You’ve been taken prisoner and have an hour to escape before you meet your fate. This was my favourite game at the venue from the beginning, the gameplay and a clever end where we had escaped, we just hadn’t realised it (that doesn’t sound great but I don’t want to give a major spoiler away). You do start the game by being led in blindfolded and are handcuffed (although they use leather as opposed to metal and are non-locking) and getting out will require a degree of cooperation. The rest of the puzzles have a nice flow but there was a couple of times we needed a nudge to get us back on track. Our GM was Linda once again who (after expertly chaining us up) expertly clued us when we needed to. There’s some nice surprises in this room that I hadn’t seen for a while, this is also their newest room and it does show.
