45 mins

After being worn down from your vacation with your family, you find that your car breaks down in the middle of nowhere and obviously there is no phone reception to call for help either. Seeking shelter from the dark of the night, all of you decide to check in to one of the rural hotels nearby. Finding that the hotel is rather run down and managed by one elderly man, he informs you that there are no other hotels that are within walking distance. After checking into one of the rooms, you find a series of rather supernatural things occurring within the room. And the best part is that the doors have been locked from the outside by the elderly man. Complete the puzzles within the haunted room to figure out a way to escape before 45 minutes or suffer the wrath of the spirits you have angered.

Very good multi-room experience. Great set.

My first ever escape room so it was a great introduction to the world of escape rooms!

Pedestrian Puzzling

My second room as part of a double bill at The Escape Room (I tackled Slaughterhouse first). It should be noted that, on my visit, the venue was undergoing renovations.

Story

Escape the haunted hotel before the spirits get you.

Puzzles

The introduction was frustratingly confusing: we needed a hint to be told where the game actually started. After this, the pair of us were on our way and escaped with plenty of time left on the clock. We did some banal counting, searching and decoding. Meh.

Mise-en-scène

I appreciated the darkness aspect of this room, but, other than that, the scenery, props and ambience were tame. Only the corridor felt hotel-like. The 'flick a switch and a Game Operator will come to help' must be the worst hint system ever, as it totally took us out of the experience.

Final Comments

As I mentioned in my Slaughterhouse review, these rooms are not worth paying full price for. If another good Black Friday deal comes up, I'll return to do the other two rooms then! In the meantime, don't bother.

Reviews by escape room review sites

A review of three rooms at The Escape Room in Manchester. As with most of the games at this chain, they were linear, relied heavily on darkness and didn't generally produce puzzles that impressed. The one highlight between them was the Secret Lab, a game that used to be raved about but even that is showing its age.
