Excellent room. Not being able to get clues does make this room very tricky though!

Strong contender for the best room we've ever done (of 70+)

Great puzzles. The theme was very well integrated throughout, and Imy was a great host

Loved how this room’s chapters unfolded and that everyone is able to experience the ending in some way. The puzzles were so clever and beautifully within the theme. Easily one of my favourites of our recent Cornish trip!

Reviews by escape room review sites

In escape rooms, the ‘fear of the unknown’ is often not knowing if a company/game is going to be good, or a waste of money. This Fear of the Unknown is a lesson in why one should give things a try, as it was a beautiful game and I’m so glad we made the time to play it.
