The Basement: The Courtyard

2-10 players

45 mins

After escaping The Study, and running downstairs, you find yourself in the mudroom of the Tandy home. One more door stands between you and your freedom, right? Wrong. Once outside, you find yourself in Edward's cold and dark courtyard surrounded by a 14-foot tall wooden fence.

Edward's daughter Lilly once resided in the trailer in the Courtyard, but she's long gone. Painfully, she was forced to leave someone she loved behind. Will you be able to save Lilly's lover Quinn, or will the officer perish while you try and escape?

Outcome: Failed 🙁

dangerousshould be 60'very difficult😨creepy

This game had a live actor, which I didn't really feel worked.
There was a large amount of puzzles to complete, and with the 45 minutes time limit, it would have been achievable if it was 60 minutes.
At one point you needed to crawl. There was no protection, there were stones and grit, and if you are not svelt, I honestly have no idea how you can get in the courtyard,

The Courtyard took us outside the home of serial killer Edward Tandy to play a murderous game in his fenced-in courtyard. THE BASEMENT built a spectacular outdoor environment, combining nature with decrepit structures to deliver a sense of continual discovery tinged with foreboding. The set was a work of art.
