A solid very satisfying room. The host Jacob was brilliant and clearly passionate about escape rooms.
We agreed the scare level would be atmospheric and scary with no jump scares - this was perfect and immersive and meant given we are wimps post the reading witch that we could concentrate on puzzles.
The room is padlock based in a very fun way - really immersive and we managed with just one tiny hint. It was as a result very satisfying, certainly not easy but fun to decode all the puzzles whilst having lots of immersive atmosphere
Definitely recommend it for duos.
Good scary atmosphere though out in this game with some nice placed jump scares
Your allways on your toes thinking someone is in the room with you lol
Some fun puzzles and things to do
Great hosts
As a team of 4, we had mixed feelings about a scary room (2 of us are absolute wimps), but we all enjoyed it! We did it at the scary level, and thought this brought such an ambience and atmosphere to the room; it was great. Our host Tabbie was fantastic!
We enjoyed the variety of puzzles in this room. We've done most of the other rooms by Escape Reading, and we love how the puzzles in each room all differ. It makes it all new and interesting, and we recommend coming to do all of their rooms!
I’m a coward so I found this very scary but great
