The Panic Room Gravesend is proud to present one of our most ambitious projects to date!
A multi-level 75-minute immersive horror escape room experience that is a spiritual successor to our much-revered game “The Gilman Hotel”. Gilman had a hell of a reputation and we hope to take you deeper into the story and mythos to discover the grim truth behind The Esoteric Order Of Dagon.
The Order has taken refuge in this abandoned house on the outskirts of Arkham, taking locals as their sacrifice. If the rumours are to be believed, could you even stop them? Do you dare enter?
Explore every floor and you may find the truth is much darker than it seems, with puzzles, challenges, and fear around every corner you will be immersed in our latest and greatest creation to date.

This is an example of a excellent and challenging game room that truly requires coordination and communication within the team. Quality puzzles, variety was mind blowing. No repetition, no cheap "now work it out 6 times more" manual labour. Brilliant.
Hell House is possibly The Panic Room’s most ambitious project to date, and it is quite a sight to behold. If you’re planning a visit to Gravesend, I would add Hell House to the “Not To Be Missed” list.
