A 'whodunnit' horror...our SAWTOPSY room is not for the faint-hearted.
You wake to find yourself in a dirty, dark kill room with several others. You have one hour to solve the puzzles and work out who is the killer. If you do not succeed, you will be locked in the room...forever.

This can be the first paragraph of your review, or a short summary, or left blank, as you prefer. Anything longer than a couple of lines may get truncated.
We really enjoyed the theming here, (especially our horror loving teen). The host was polite and fun and we did enjoy the room, but there was nothing that made it standout. This was the least expensive IRL game that we've done and I think that you could tell.
The puzzles were fairly standard with a mix of things to find, padlocks etc but I didn't ever feel pressured to hurry.
Could be improved with a few more puzzles and maybe some jump scare interactions from the host.
We will go back and try another room here in future.
My partner and I escaped from a Saw room in Riga so were expecting something of the same level, but Sawtopsy really didn't deliver. The room was just a combination of finding papers with codes on it, opening the padlocks and starting again. We escaped the room by trying a code that we found and escaped in 30:05 minutes. We were confused as the story was making no sense. The staff in charge of the room explained to us that we missed some of the clues to find the final code.... Really not a good room. I would recommend anyone to do the Haunted House or the Magic room instead.
For haunt fans this might have rated higher but as an escape room it just didn't work for me. A promising story progression was hurt by a shortage of puzzles and unpleasant searching that left me feeling disappointed by the overall experience.
