Loved this game just as much as its prequel the cabin don’t no which one I like more both are outstanding and are my favourite all round escape rooms
As the same as the cabin the basement gets a great balance of games while being fully immersed in your surroundings and the dilemma you are put in
Starting off are amazing host Charlotte gave us the back story and handed us a bag to place over are heads to blind fold us and led us to the starting point lol
What can I say again lots of amazing twists and turns though out the whole experience keeping you on your toes
100% recommend but please do the cabin first you will not regret it
Charlotte and Bradley are outstanding hosts and make a great experience an outstanding one
I am so glad there is a chapter 3 coming I cannot wait to play that !!

Had a great time when we played this game. Charlotte the host was great, brilliant build quality, nice theming on the puzzles and good plot. Really enjoyed both this and The Cabin that we did before this one. Its not hugely scary but was definitely on edge all the way through it expecting the unexpected!
Its slightly dark in points (mainly the first 5mins) which can be awkward on the eyes but all in all I felt it worked really well.
We’d been looking forward to The Basement ever since it opened, and it didn’t disappoint. Ok our time in this game was short, but we loved every minute of it. Was it better than The Cabin? I don’t know. But was it a worthy sequel? Hell yes.
