Phoenix, Arizona, 2019. The state is shocked at the consecutive abductions and findings of dismembered bodies. According to the local Authorities, a serial killer, is striking terror and agony in the local community. Nothing and no one seems able to stop him.
Phoenix, 1981. 6-year-old Thomas witnesses the cruel murder and dismemberment of his mother by his father, a butcher by profession. The killer becomes aware of his son’s presence and decides to lock him in the shop freezer together with the boy’s mother. Thomas, however, escapes, steals his father’s gun from the bedside table and manages to kill him.
The abhorrent story of 1981 revives today, 38 years later, bringing again little Thomas to the spotlight. He grew up to be the most ruthless serial killer of American crime history. No mercy, no regret , no guilt for his actions. His victims are both women and men. Women who are kidnapped and then murdered and dismembered, much to the delight of his ill imagination that seeks to create his mother’s figure again. As for men, they bring back memories from his father’s criminal past, which is a good enough reason to kill as many as he can… and in this way, to revenge on the person who took away his childhood joy!
You are his last victims, starring the last act of the drama. Your mission is to escape, before the Butcher stains with blood your abduction case. Remain calm and focused, for an experience that gets your adrenalin going! But, hurry up, Thomas will not show mercy when he meets you…

The most immersive, scariest escape from I've ever done. Light on puzzles, although I enjoyed the ones it had, but you won't realise it as you'll spend most of your time running, hiding and screaming in terror.
Even the least scared of our group were terrified, and 3 of us were tempted to hit the panic button to leave. I'm glad we didn't though. Only one of us still has PTSD from the amazing acting and immersion. Movie-like scenes that tell the story like an actual horror movie and ever changing rules ensuring you never feel safe make this an unbelievable scary room. Definitely not for the faint hearted. These guys know how to do horror and fear.
One thing I'll say, they're not strict on health and safety in Greece in general. Even wearing sensible shoes, you're likely to slip, or run into a body or another player. You might run into a metal bench in an attempt to hide in panic. Your adrenaline will make sure you don't feel the pain so don't worry about it. Just be aware that all of us had bruises and minor cuts from the experience, but every single one of us loved it. We couldn't stop giggling (a very strange emotion but I guess the adrenaline had a lot to do with it) and I tell everybody about it now I'm back home.
The host, Georgios is one of the loveliest hosts I have ever met. Enthusiastic and clearly an escape room lover himself. The Butcher was a terrifying ass who enjoyed torturing us. Couldn't have been better!
