Your colleague, and friend, PC Richards has been missing for over a week. His last known location is an old abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of town which he had gone to investigate one night after work. His obsession with a closed kidnapping case had left him paranoid and wanting to investigate more.
You decide to go to the abandoned warehouse to see if you can find any clues as to where he may have gone. You come across a gruesome crime scene. You have 60 minutes, whilst the tech team have the alarms disabled, to investigate and discover the fate of your friend.

quite difficult😨creepy

The sheer amount of padlocks in this room is what makes it challenging, not necessarily the actual puzzles themselves. However as a 2, we loved being kept on our toes for the whole game and felt pretty tired once we had finished!

It has a nice balance of horror theming without being scary. We really enjoyed ourselves and as they listed it as 5* star difficulty, we were really chuffed when we finished.

A fun yet challenging game.

The first part of this game has some very bland decor, expanding into something a lot better as the game progresses. 

This is one of them games that had a few complex puzzles that you know how to solve, but simply struggle with with executing them. If you are not very good at this type of puzzle, you're stuck and cannot progress

Some good puzzles and some to trip you up but with a go

Reviews by escape room review sites

While Disturbed is a traditional, padlock-heavy escape room, it's a good example of how that doesn't have to be a bad thing. It uses a horror theme but is definitely a puzzle room not a scare experience.

It's not a huge space, though didn't feel cramped with a team of four. The use of video at the beginning and mid-way is a nice way to reinforce the theme and give more of a story to it. However, what I really enjoyed is the way the puzzles divided up well across the whole team. At most points t...

A review of four games we played in mid-2017 at Escapism and Breakout in Chester and Clue HQ Warrington. Dungeon of Doom and Teleporter were both solid games while Amphitheatre and Disturbed paled in comparison.

Not a huge amount to do with a major reset error at the start (Played on the day it opened and so will have gone under chance since then)
