Escapologic: Butcher (pre-2024)

Our GM Pagan was fantastic and really made the experience.

Our first horror escape room and it didn’t disappoint. It was very immersive and intense, not as many puzzles as other rooms but in this instance it worked because the horror aspect was enough to keep you from working as quickly as you normally would! Definitely an experience, one I’d recommend just for the fun of doing it as a group and giggling at one another in fear. 

I found this escape room really immersive. The puzzles felt relatively basic but it was more about this experience and horror theme. I would recommend 

Certainly immersive and scary, but perhaps the fear aspect was a bit overhyped. The puzzles were mainly searching. Our host was good

Don’t get me wrong… I am a self admitted wuss when I comes to playing a scary room. I normal day to day I would not choose to play this room over any others at the venue however I was here so I HAD TO. 

The room was ok… in my opinion, I felt like I was playing a game of hide and seek for 60 mins rather than trying to work out how to get out. To me it felt much more of hindrance to go and hide rather than the feel to want to. It got slightly annoying toward the end. But I can see why this room is getting the love that it is. 

I personally laughed the whole time at the player I was playing with. Played after Covid so live actor wasn't in the room which took away some of the room. Was escaping as the game ended. Would have probably finished in 60:10. 

Sadly a miss for us. Probs the one we were most hyped for but our host just didn't seem into it, it wasn't remotely scary (and we'd been really scared by Howitz) and the interventions by the butcher went on forever. There was also a lack of things to actually do. Just a lot of searching for stuff to put in the right place, assumedly as you're supposed to feel tense about the butcher coming back, but we just didn't.

My first horror room.  I found this absolutely terrifying. 

This game is very light on the puzzles and more time is spent being part of the experience rather than solving puzzles.

Great hosting yet again. 

Really fun game. I don't really get scared in escape rooms but felt the host did a really good job. He really freaked my jumpier friend out! Less puzzles but very well done for a horror room with an actor.

It was ok.. think this one really depends on the game master and on this occasion ours didn’t immerse themselves as much as it sounds like others have, so it wasn’t that scary. Fun experience though and would recommend to some others.

This is more of a scare game than an escape puzzle room. There were a couple of great puzzles, but one stuck out with poor lighting and made it much trickier, but not the fun tricky. It's a game worthy of doing thoug to see how different escape rooms can be..

It scared by bother in law so much, that at one point I turned to see him holding the door closed.
