Very enjoyable scary room with great fun puzzles and a very creepy vibe. There's one physical part that is a little tricky if you're not confident but it's safe once you let yourself go.
We took advantage of the money off to play a second game on the same day and opted for Oc2. The set is good, but we found the story very linear and info given almost literally telling you what to do - which I'm sure for some teams they won't pick up on, but we're a bit ADHD and follow instructions to the letter. Generally the puzzled are very basic. There were a few moments that will make you scream / jump but you're not going to wet yourself. There's one puzzle involving heat that needs looking at, you can barely see what you're supposed to see.
The creepiness and tough, unique puzzles make for an incredibly delightful game with good “Oh My God!” moments.
Escape Rooms Cardiff are renowned for their imaginative, well-thought-out rooms and Oculus is no exception. For the true crime fanatics, it’ll give you a glimpse into the underbelly of a serial killer’s mind with the safety of knowing that no one’s scooping out your googlies any time soon!
