Amazing host who was well in character the whole time making the escape room even better
Great little room this with some good puzzles with a good unique ending
Very fun
This was a fun room, I found it more Linear and less immersive than dirty money at this venue that I preferred (but my team partner preferred the cabin so …!).
A lovely room with a secret door that took us by surprise and a nice mix of puzzles.
Good room with a nice mix of puzzles. Good GM. Would have a liked an extra sound/lighting effect at the end!
Really fun room, good puzzles, a super fun ending, and an incredible GM (Winter). We really loved having a non-scary cabin-themed room, too!

Cabins in escape rooms have a tendency to turn grizzly - the ominous cabin in the woods trope. This one is an exception. It turns out to be a fairly normal miner’s cabin (normal other than being filled with puzzles, I guess); unfortunately, just at the moment you sneak inside, a landslide leaves you trapped with no way out.
Far from creepy, there’s a homely and quite welcoming feel to the space. It was even pretty well lit, though the torches provided were a welcome help for the dimmer corners....
