Great fun, even though it had a live actor they fully adds another level to the experience and they don't come anywhere near you (just saying). Really good puzzles, lot's to do, great signposting. Great GM (and actors). We recommend doing The Cabin and The Basement on the same day. p.s. There's a nice little cafe at the bottom of the hill.

I absolutely loved this game, even more so than the previous chapter The Cabin. The concept is similarly but somehow felt more chilling here. All of the puzzles were linked brilliantly to the narrative and gave a sense of dread as to what was to come as you solved them. Lots of fun and I can’t wait for chapter 3!

Oh wow. Awesome. Fantastic decoration and a suitably creepy follow on to cabin! Amazing amount and variety of puzzles, and some genuine shocks! Can't wait for chapter 3 now!
We loved the The Cabin and we were super excited for the second chapter. We were not disappointed! Another fantastic setting with great puzzles and flow! We did both The Cabin and The Basement with 2 of us but there's enough to challenge a bigger group. The staff are amazing and so welcoming and the venue is great. A must do for every escape room enthusiast! Both are in our top 5 and we have done plenty in the UK and abroad!
This was a really good follow up to The Cabin, even if it didn't quite reach the heights of that room.
I think the puzzles are great in this one, probably better in some respects than The Cabin's and certainly lots more here to do, hence why we only just made it out!
The theming is great but not as striking as The Cabin, and I enjoyed the ending quite a lot, except from the final puzzle which is certainly not as memorable as The Cabin's!
I note that it's probably unfair to compare this to The Cabin, and that I've referred to it 5 times now... Therefore I will say that this a fantastic room when judged on it's own accord, with some great puzzles and an engaging and immersive narrative.
