great hostingquite easy

Really enjoyed this room. Lot of fun to play and lots of laughs. If I had one criticism it's that it was maybe too easy.

Three of the 4 players were brand new to escape rooms and we mad it our and onto the leader board

A mix of puzzles, involving logic and some skill so a mixed team will fair better

value for moneygreat hostingfamily friendly

Outstanding fun room, packed full of ingenious puzzles. The owner, Jenny was very welcoming and passionate. She has put her heart and soul into creating a brilliant experience which is an incredible achievement considering Carnival Crisis is the first ever room she's built.

A must play room well worth going out of your way to play, reminiscent of Alex's rooms just down the road at Compendium in Bury. We can't wait to return later this year, thanks again Jenny

beautifuloriginalintense😨creepy

I can't say too much about this room because I'd be scared to spoil it.

The woman that designed this room is a genius.

The setting and props are fantastic and every puzzle is carefully thought out.

Scary but not enough to stop my focus... Almost 😂

originalgreat hostingepicquite difficult

Firstly would like to praise Priscilla for being a great GM, she made us feel extremely welcome and made a great recommendation for us to try this room out as a group of 2 visiting san francisco for the first time. The theming of this room is brilliant, high quality decor and some very clever puzzles. We really enjoyed ourselves and while it was tight we just escaped in time!! Priscilla also showed us their other rooms at the end, we wish we could have stayed to do another! Definitely recommend this company and room to others

puzzlepalooza experienced reviewed Phantom Peak by Phantom Peak:

It's an amazing feat that this place exists, but we didn't really enjoy it. The puzzle trails were boring and repetitive, with the storylines something made up by whacky A level students trying to be "random". No real challenge, just tedium.
