Someone or something is compelling you to go into the woods. It is dark, there are some strange noises and you are frightened.

The grim tales you were told as a child are playing on your mind but it will be ok if you all stick together… wont it?

​Will you escape the woods to tell your own tale?

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.
