Excellent game. Very creepy and intense. Storyline was great.
It was fun, but one part of the game needed a tech upgrade. This made the end feel less rewarding and definitive.
The decor and atmosphere was great. Puzzles were fun. Not too taxing but gave us pause for thought.
The GM was attentive especially when we struggled with a lock, which they heard us saying the correct number for.
The room could do with a bit of TLC though. Some props were a bit tatty through use - not the theme.
Am looking forward to doing more in future.
The place seemed a bit
Frustrated and disappointed!
Nice themed room but let down by puzzles having to be actuated by a games master that wasn't paying enough attention. Resulting in confusion as to whether we had actually completed a puzzle successfully or not.
A lot of the games in this escape room really did not make sense. Some of the puzzles seemed like they were there for the sake of it. A lot of illogical puzzles like measuring something that has nothing to do with the story or room. Also, the hints they used were really unclear and had not connection to the tasks or they were ordered wrong.
Supposed to be "scary" but the only "scary" thing was them banging on the door or trying to forcefully open the door like "someone trying to get in", maybe because it was my first ever escape room, but I would not recommend this one.
This room was quite a let down the puzzles were quite difficult and didn’t follow along in any sort of manner - the scare factor was very poor with us being asked how intense we would like the game we replied very this response was banging on the door once or twice.
there was a smell puzzle where they all smelt the same
