In a time when the local villagers were convinced that witches held sway over these woods, stories of possession, hauntings, and madness ran rampant. Now, it is widely believed that the spirits of those cursed souls still linger in this forest. Among them, the infamous Marjorie Sutton stands out, said to appear at the stroke of midnight, in her long-abandoned home nestled deep within the woods.
Though you’ve always been sceptical of superstitions, Marjorie’s tale has piqued your curiosity, and an unshakable feeling draws you toward uncovering the mysteries of Chester House and its witches. Before you know it, you and your friends are on a journey to spend a night in the very cabin that was once Marjorie’s abode.
As the night descends, you quickly realise that the age-old legends hold an element of truth, and you too have fallen under their spell. With a mere 60 minutes until the witching hour reaches its peak, your mission is clear: locate and destroy the accursed book, escape the cabin, and never look back, lest your soul becomes ensnared, and you find yourself forever TRAPP’D within the cursed forest!

Game play was sparse , but what was there we enjoyed. Also very run down like their other games.
We really enjoyed this one! A little run down, and a couple of tech issues during the game, but they were forgivable as the game had charm and a good amount of things we hadn't seen before. The space as huge, and probably could have been used a bit more, but still a good game though!
A rather original theme here but somewhat poorly executed. The space is huge and with the amount of space to hand, there felt like there was a complete lack of things to do. Broken tech (ish)… what I mean the room is tired, and need fixing in places as things had been pulled away and clearly broken.
There was also quite a fun little of puzzle that required digging/searching however the cloud of dust this creates was unbearable.
The room is creepy in places but nothing to write home about, could have been such a better experience.
Uncommon themed rooms which I liked. Not keen on the location. Okay hosting, but they are clearly running multiple games at once which I'm not a fan of. There are a lot of magnetic/electronic puzzles which I do like. Some new puzzles I haven't seen before. We hit a wall though and wasted a lot of time at one point. Not my favourite room but it was different!
This is quite an immersive room set in a large space. It contains a nice variety of puzzles and flows well.
There is quite a lot of unused space at one stage in the game and I just wonder if it would be worth putting some more puzzles in the space to create a more difficult room.
Amazingly themed room and was alot of fun. However, the the space is absolutely huge but is very sparse with puzzles, to the point where it felt like the space was almost a waste, which was a shame. As well as there being only a few puzzles, this felt very easy for a team of 2 which is supposed to be a hard room.
Lovely theming, large space. A couple of hiccups with tech in the room as we played but nothing that stopped the fun or game. Really enjoyed the “gimmick/wow factor” in the room. Spooky atmosphere but not scary.
