Social media fills the lives of the modern human-race; desperate for likes from friends and strangers alike. But what happens when people take for granted the simpler things in life?

Followers, fame, and fortune displeases “The Watcher”. Perhaps, a troubled childhood brought on this phychopathic rampage to those with a better life online. All that is known is this rampage has no signs of stopping, with more missing people reported nationwide.

After being kidnapped and blindfolded in what was a disused warehouse; things take a turn for the worst for you and your friends. “The Watcher” has struck again and demands your groups’ repentance. Will you be able to complete the trials that are set by “The Watcher”?

Remember, escaping is just the beginning…

Wow, this was fun! Adventurous use of space, logical puzzles and a few jumps along the way. GM was great too. The fear factor wasn't too intense, either - I found it more funny than scary.

value for moneygreat hostingintensequite easy👻scary

Ironically posting a review on social media about a room which is based around the watcher who hates social media.... but on we go. 

From the word go, the room provides a tense experience which was just enough to keep it as an escape room. Couple of jumpscares and some less than appealing punishments from the watcher himself (though, thankfully those punishments fell upon my teammates rather than me... ). Simple yet effective progression system. 

Great hosting from Alex. 

Also smashed the record of the room by 3 mins!

funquite easy😨creepy

Eerie enough to keep you guessing but not so scary that you can’t focus. Good balance! Nice concept behind the story. Ideal if you’re dipping your toe into the world of horror escape rooms. Couple of scary moments which had my husband running for his life! Hilarious to watch/experience.

For 2, this was a challenge as the scary aspect of the room made it more difficult to focus on the puzzles and challenges. This room was different to the average escape room as you had to collect a series of keys by completing puzzles and "challenges". This is definitely a good room for more experienced players or newbies with a larger team.

Quite possibly the best horror game i've ever played. The concept behind the room and plays quite a heavy role in your progression. There are some shocking twists and turns and the puzzles have a nice flow to them.
