I’m a coward so I found this very scary but great
Relatively straight forward creepy horror game, you can choose to either a have a "more scary" or "less scary" experience (I can't remember which one we chose in the end). Puzzles are relatively straight forward and feature a typical combination of search, logic and visual.
We chose to tone down the scares in this game but it still had us on edge throughout. Fantastic dramatic sounds and effects as well as puzzles and a few great scares along the way!
Good puzzles and story line, very intense! 10/10 would Recommend!
One word - jumpy! We were in hysterics not wanting to go into parts of the room anticipating another scary moment. Lots of fun and great theme. Matt was a great host too.
Jump scares, great sound effects and puzzles! Super immersive defo recommend!!!!!
A few jump scares throughout the game but can be toned down by request. I enjoyed the use of space in this game and felt immersed within the narrative.
Really enjoyed this escape room, quite basic in its build but lots of jump scares and great hosting
Some nice puzzles but the whole room is in the semi-dark which always detracts for me as I find it frustrating to not be able to see puzzles properly.

So clever and immersive. Great scare moments too
One of my favourite ever rooms. We had an amazing GM who must have been running around behind the scenes. The room looks a little basic but, honestly, it was so much fun we really didn't notice. The puzzles are great and the way the scares work (you jump, then laugh, then get on with solving) made it enormous fun. A riot.
Reviews by escape room review sites
Horror rooms are a varied lot, and can be anything from puzzle-driven games with a few blood splatters and fake severed fingers to set the scene, through to full on terror experiences where solving anything is complicated by flickering lights and chainsaw-wielding maniacs. Both of the games at Escape Reading's centre-of-town branch are horror themed, and of the two Vampire Slayers is the one that sets out to scare you. But while it doesn't hold back at trying to make you jump, it's not at all gr...
