A great mix of scary and puzzles. A must for people with friends that scare easily, had a great time laughing at mine.
Wow! Before you even enter the room you’re already on edge. When you get in the room it takes you a moment to get to grips with your surroundings as it looks stunning. Incredibly immersive and great set design. This room is definitely not for the faint of heart! A lot of moments that were dealt with by screams or shouts followed by lots of laughter! And on top of the set and atmosphere, the puzzles themselves were really fun and still made you think
This was an intense, edgy, well put together escape room. Although we did the room quickly it didn't feel quick - we were just relieved to put the lights back on to dissipate the fear and tension. Really well explained, and organised the room was interesting without anything too obvious to set us on our way. The additional element of fear introduced by 'additional' elements was awesome! Highly recommended but not for those of a faint heart!
I adore horror escape rooms and this room has taken the top spot for me! Kieran, our host, set the tone immediately and made the room stand out for me. He was brilliant in his timing, his scares, everything! Beautiful set, great puzzles. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
Loved this escape room, from the host Kieran setting the scene to all the jump scares 🙂 Def the best escape room I've done ... Would Def recommend if you like horror films x
May I start this review by first saying, I hate scary rooms. I'm not a fan of being scared, or anything like that, however, despite this, the room has had amazing reviews, and I couldn't not give it a go.
The host was amazing, really set the scene, his constant nervous demeanour throughout the brief, was perfect...I mean, it made me more nervous, but still, great. Then we got into the room, it wasn't very small, but the shape and layout of the room really plays to the theme, and helps set you up for the scared feeling inside.
Now, I wont spoil this room, the things happen that you'd expect from a horror themed room, and is done in both simple and clever ways. I will say that a lot of escape rooms with horror themes usually focus on the scaring, and darkness more than the puzzles. Not the case with this room, although there was scaring and darkness, the puzzles were perfect, all different kinds, and challenging without being impossible.
We managed to escape, I have not stopped talking about this room since. I don't think I will change, and start playing more and more scary rooms, but this one was absolutely worth playing, and I understand why it has the high reviews it has.
Highly recommend.

Never thought I’d love a horror room as much as I did this! Firstly, the host was incredible, stayed in character throughout the experience. The puzzles weren’t too difficult but due to the immersion and creepy factor we were glad of that! One particular moment if the most I’ve jumped in my whole life, this is a whole hearted recommend. Loved it and can’t wait to see what they do next.
