We really enjoyed the cabin. It’s not linear at the start, which was great for teams who like to divide and conquer. Theming was good, relatively padlock heavy with a clever/subtle puzzle we missed in the cabin itself. Recommended.

The GM's reckon Seven Seas is the hardest room at the venue but I reckon this gives it a run for its money, whilst not as visually striking as Seven Seas, the scenography is still effective.  Effectively a game of two halves, both non-linear in nature, the first luls into a false sense of security as it's quite quick but then the real work begins.

😨creepy

Host on this occasion offered to stay later so we could get an extra game in which immediately is a big tick. Room it self is well themed, better than some cabins that we have played. Some puzzles were unique for us at the time and there were a few "red herrings" along the way.

Even standing in the hallway, it’s clear that the set design for this game is leagues above the games we had played here previously. The Cabin is a solid, well thought out room, and worth playing if you’re planning to visit Peterborough

I had been wary of The Cabin assuming serial killer horror. Instead, the theme, rescuing your dog from a dodgy residence in the woods, appealed immediately to our team of animal lovers and we were invested from the start. 

The premise of The Cabin is that while you were camping in some remote location, someone has raided your tent, stolen some of your possessions, and left you a threatening note challenging you to come to his cabin and get them back. And of course you accept the challenge, rather than doing the obvious and sensible thing of getting out of there and calling the police.

A little theft is pretty tame by the standard of cabin-dwelling maniacs, and although The Cabin is theoretically a scary theme it’...
