Such a fun game. Amazing video cutaways that are seamless. This is another that couldn't be pulled off in the same way in person. Great online fun.
Didn't enjoy this as much as Exorcist, but still absolutely loved it! Our avatar (Ronnie) still stands out as my favourite host of any game I've played yet.
One of the best virtual games I have played out of 20 or so
This is the best virtual/Zoom escape room my escape room club has done to date. Pretty much all 10 members in agreement on this.
Another excellent game! I think the key element for us was the GM (James) who had a really good sense of humour, and went along with all our foolishness. Both this game and Exorcist were really just FUN, largely thanks to him. I think I slightly preferred Exorcist; our group was split, with some preferring the Beast, but all agreeing that both were worth playing. A bit scary at times, but the generally light tone stopped it from getting too heavy.
Really fun game. The crew and set-up are great, heaps to do - really well worth the money. Looking forward to them releasing another game.
I highly recommend this!
One of the best virtual games I of ever played (and I played some)
After playing the Exorcist I was so looking forward to this one and boy oh boy, it didn't disappoint! Picking up the action just after the end of the Exorcist you're back in Crowley Manor and luckily Liam is there to help you! Again the production is excellent and the decor fits the rooms nicely.
Extending the gameplay over the 90minutes really allows for the narration and the interaction with Ronnie (the avatar) to develop, which gives the entire game a feeling of being told a ghost story as you're fixated on the screen listening to the tales which are expertly woven in between the puzzles and locks. Well themed puzzles, which are nicely varied so the 90 minute game doesn't have any repetition and there is a well executed segway to get you from one room to another (as its played over two different IRL rooms).
Again I can't commend Emergncy Exit enough for the use of a second person to do camera work, and only camera work, this gives you the feeling that you're in a movie, and our picture quality throghout the game was excellent with perfectly timed set pieces being played seemlessly. Ronnie is a real star of the game as he responds to your team and tailors the gameplay so you all get the most from the game. You want more banter?... hes got lots of comebacks and funny lines. Want more scary stories? H'es got a huge knowledge of Crowley history which he can tell you. Its this level of personalisation that elevates this room above other remote rooms.
A real must play, I just hope that they're going to make this into a three-quel!
Reviews by escape room review sites
Emergency Exitโs first remote play game was an excellent adaptation of their existing Exorcist game. Their sequel, The Beast, is adapted from a combination of two physical rooms (Conjure and Poltergeist), and while I havenโt played those my impression is that theyโve been used as raw materials to create a new game specifically for remote play. There's probably a lot of overlap with the physical games' puzzles, but the overall result is its own thing.
I guess you could play Beast stand-al...
This game was brilliant and absolutely lives up to the hype. From about 3pm on Friday all the way until our 8pm booking I was working myself up into a frenzy โ โWhat if itโs too scary?! Should I skip dinner?โ, but despite my worries there was no way to prepare for the thoroughly creepy and immersive experience that it was.
