A bereaved couple find a doll in the forest near their home and become convinced it contains the spirit of their recently deceased daughter. However when strange occurrences start happening throughout their home they soon suspect the doll harbours not the spirit of their little girl, but a dark, sinister entity with murderous intent.  

Your team must enter the family home, locate the demonic doll and banish whatever evil is inside it within 75 minutes or become trapped in the Dream House forever!

A significant upgrade on the original dream house (at the old venue) this has much more interaction and many more scares! Great moments of misdirection to enhance the scare and brilliantly executed interactions.
Great room to warm you up for Time to Float!

Amazing escape room! So immersive and puzzles very clever and engaging. I recommend this game a lot. I loved the range of puzzles. Because it was non linear in parts and there was a crowd of us, we were able to work on different parts of the room at same time. 

Only regret is my friend got a bit excited and hurt her foot so I vacated the room a little early to make sure she was OK. Otherwise I am sure we would have been successful! Really wanted to see how this ended. Might go back again to see if can escape this time!

A haunted mansion, an exorcism and some wonderful actor interactions, whilst not up to the standard of "You'll float too" this game is still worth your time.

Brilliant room and setup but huge and so so much to do especially with the fear of being caught. We attempted it with 3 players but it just wasn't enough to be able to complete it. Highly recommend but with more people. Lots of jump scares and kept adrenaline super high throughout with the fear of being caught

This was intense! Story flowed well throughout, with some nice puzzles and has a live actor performance with a number of appearances that scared the **** out of us. Really liked the individual bravery tests. We found it a little easier than the zombie one so is definitely doable as a two player if you keep the fear in check.
