Houdini’s Escape Room Experience Thurrock: Room 13

We visited Houdini’s in Thurrock to play a fairly new escape room today: Haunted Hotel.  The room had the extra novelty of being situated within an actual hotel!  We got out in 36 minutes 43 seconds.  That’s not a brag - it just seemed to be missing an extra challenge / puzzle / room and so we felt a little disappointed when we completed it in quite a quick time (unusual for us!) There could have been more in the way of context / storyline.

It was spooky but not particularly terrifying - there was a lack of jump scares which to be fair is not everyone’s cup of tea.  However, the theming and decor is brilliant and there was a general sense of unease throughout.  Jake our Game Master played his role brilliantly and was suitably creepy.

Overall, this new escape room may need a bit more added to it to really hit Houdini’s high standards, but was still a good adrenaline rush.
