Scary Tale was awesome and is still in our top five rooms - we loved it with its suitably creepy dark/atmospheric theming. There’s a lot in this room with a combination of well placed tech and padlocks and puzzles that just make sense. We escaped as an experienced two with time to spare, but as with all the rooms at EO you get a lot for your money and inexperienced players might benefit from having three+ in the room. Recommended.

I was nervous going into this, having always avoided 'scary/creepy/horror' rooms, and having one bad experience in the past, I was apprehensive, but I didn't need to be. The hosting was respectful, no gratuitous jumpscares or distractions, so you were free to get on with the puzzle solving without too much fear. A great room in its own right, with great theming and hosting.

Not a horror fan but this was creepy and intense without being too scary and was lots of fun and packed with puzzles.

Reviews by escape room review sites

The name of this room should make clear that it’s based on the darker sort of fairy tale, where witches lock up children, where Red Riding Hood might not be saved from the wolf, and where happy endings are not guaranteed… but Scary Tale does not in fact set out to be all that scary. It’s dimly lit and perhaps creepy in places, but unless you’re particularly nervous, at most it might make you jump once or twice.

As ever, EO makes sure all players have a decent torch, so the darkness wasn’t parti...

The thing that makes the games at EO Escape Rooms so great, Scary Tale included, is simply that they’ve done the basics right. This game is everything an escape room should be: cool set, a narrative that ties the set and the puzzles together, and loads of solid content. When you combine those things you get a game that is just, simply, a joy to play.
