Enigma Rooms Wakefield: Séance

We have just played the 12+ version and it was excellent. Superb hosting by Ava and the experience was excellent. Really good jump scares and they have balanced the horror really well with this new version. We did this as a family of 3 with our older daughter (15 years old) and after the first few minutes really settled into the game. Really brilliant experience and would highly recommend!

Escape Room was class, topped the list of escape rooms we have done, so well done and thought through. Everything linked and worked perfectly. Don’t want to spoil anything but definitely a must do.

Ava was such a good host and made the experience a great memory

Ava was fantastic! The live actor was horrifying! Our team had to go for a cheeky drink to calm our nerves. Super scary, the challenges were though but clues were fast to be given. Will visit again soon!

Let me start by saying that as someone who is very susceptible to jump scares, I am not a fan of horror rooms with actors. However... I cannot deny that this room was fantastic. Was I on edge the entire time? Absolutely. Did I scream a little too much and ram my teammates out of the way multiple times? Absolutely. But that's the nature of the game. The atmosphere and theming in here was perfect and our host played their part beautifully. The interactions were timed very well and didnt feel invasive or annoying which is a problem we've had before. The puzzles were beautifully woven into the story and theming, and nothing felt out of place or unnecessary. There were also some unique puzzles that we hadnt done before which was refreshing. Don't let fear hold you back, give this room a go and im sure you will look back and laugh!

This was excellent from start to finish! I'm not into horror room, but this one is a must-play! ♥

This was so much fun! Lots of screams, fear, and jump scares but lots of laughs too. Some bits we've never come across before too. Loved it! 

Now that we're out of the room with a successful escape under our belt, we can safely say it was amazing! None of our group likes horror, but when it's an award winning one like Seance it needed to be done. What an experience it was! Testing the friendship at times (who needs back up?) the room is brilliantly designed and the team really capture a scary atmosphere that plays tricks with your mind! 

We had a blast, a fair few screams and some accidental scares from within the team rather than from the Demon himself, Kieran really made this an exceptional experience with some real laugh out loud moments to boot (laughing now, screaming at the time)! If only we could see the footage, it would be worth its weight in comedy gold!

Thanks again Team Wakefield

Completely brilliant game start to finish. It kept my wife and I entirely on edge & jumping out of our skin all the way through whilst completing some really well thought out & original puzzles.

We’ve done around 35ish rooms to date and this is in our top 5, along with their other room (Grimm up North)

Didn’t know what to expect but we had a couple in our party more susceptible to scares. That made even more interesting. 

The puzzles were different and kept the creepy feel. Lots of team work which was a plus. 

Such amazing owners, who really love escape rooms.  Definitely worth a stop. 

Incredible room.  The scariest I've played by far. Some really fun and unique puzzles, a perfect linear journey and brilliant hosting.

Really fun experience especially when your on edge not knowing what to expect ! 😁

Came to play Seance with a few friends after meaning to play it for months and it did NOT disappoint! Incredible theatrics, stunning immersivity, intricately designed puzzles and one amazing GM. Thank you for another amazing experience, Kieran. I would highly recommend this room.

I absolutely loved this room; probably the creepiest room I've ever played with some brilliant effects I'd never seen before. We were probably all relieved we were playing it at lunchtime at not at night!

Puzzles in "scarier" rooms can end up being too easy in our experience, but these were much more challenging without being too difficult. I think there was only one puzzle we ended up being stumped on, and it was probably the adrenaline affecting our brains that we didn't get it quicker.

The hosting from Callum was superb despite his football allegiances. 😉

We ended up doing all three Enigma Wakefield rooms in one day. Seance was definitely my favourite of the three, although a couple of our less-horror-loving teammates preferred Wonderland. 

Great horror room, with quite a few genuine jump scare moments. Very immersive, you completely forget you're doing an escape room and get wrapped up in the story and scares. 

All of the puzzles are on-theme and make you more immersed, and the host was brilliant.

I would recommend a small group for this - either 2 or 3, as the puzzles are very linear, but don't let that put you off.

Wow, what a great horror room, perfect room for small groups, probably not enough going on at a time for large groups though. Really great host, lots of jump scares. The room was well decorated, very fluid. Very much a cause and effect style room meaning you're only really working on one thing at a time. Lightning is low, as would be expected from a horror, but it doesn't hinder you too much. 

This room was great fun and the host did a good job of getting us amped up before we entered. We enjoy a scary room but I would say that for me personally the anticipation/potential scare is more fun than rooms where it’s a more obvious scare. Sometimes it feels like you are acting scared so that the host feels like they’re doing a good job, when what you really want is to focus on the puzzles 😂 there were some fun things to interact with and a good use of space, we had a great time and felt like we’d used a lot of energy by the end! 

This was by far the best horror/spooky room we have done. The room build is top quality, totally authentic to the theme and the props without exception are superb. Our host Kieran obviously knows his stuff – clues came at the right times, scares (which were definitely scary!) came at the right times and the scene setting for the room was excellent. There were some very interesting touches to the room many of which we hadn’t seen before and we’ve played a fair few rooms now. The audio track to the room is especially worth a mention as it really does add to the overall ambience. Definitely a must do for any creepy room fan, I really wish I could play it again.

A great mix of scary and puzzles. A must for people with friends that scare easily, had a great time laughing at mine. 

Best jump scare room we’ve had. Fantastic immersion and really well done. Puzzles are great and logical and linear - the best bit is the setting and the way the whole room moves along each element.

Very much worth a go!

Loved this room! We escaped in a record time and wish we hadn’t so we could spend more time in it. The host was excellent and scared us a LOT, and the puzzles were original and all brilliantly themed to the room.

I'd wanted to play this room for a long time based on excellent reviews that i've seen, and it didn't disappoint. It's probably the most immersive escape room we've ever done, and definitely worth the reputation. 

Firstly, it's scary. I consider myself to be quite a down to earth person, and jump in the right places, but generally laugh it off afterwards. This room though, it turned me into a nervous wreck! haha. I don't know if it's the build-up, or excellent decor, but as the scares built, I just got more and more 'in the zone', and probably screamed more than I ever have in my life! It's all in good fun though, the screams are usually followed by laughter, and a bigger determination to follow through with the story. 

The puzzles are also excellent. I'd say pretty much all of them keep to the theme, and help to tell the story of the seance. You feel like a character trying to banish demons rather than a regular person off the street just solving puzzles. The props and clues all fit in to build that. 

We didn't find it too tricky, but I think it's about at the right level. You need to think, but if you're spending too much time scratching your head it would take you out of the experience. We ended up getting one hint, but that was just to help us find something we already knew we needed but just had a little trouble pinpointing it due to the dim light. Otherwise everything flowed beautifully. 

Can't praise the GM enough, he really set the scene and played his part well. The room also has a private waiting room that's mostly in theme, so if you need a break from the scares you can pop out without completely losing the magic.  Thankfully we didn't need to but the option is there.

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.

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

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. 

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!

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 the first truly scary room that we have done, and it was so much fun!  We were screaming and laughing the whole time.  The puzzles were inventive and very cleverly done.  A must play!
