😨creepy
It's ok. I think after the lead up i was expecting something much more scary. It certainly had creepy vibes but no more than that, it still very much felt like an escape room rather than anything immersive. We were told about other peoples experiences in the game and how they'd experienced actual paranormal activity. Whether this was a scare tactic or actual truth I have no idea, but when i went on to ask about the history of the building, it's age etc the response was 'i have no idea i was born in 1989. Which bothered me. There was one puzzle where you had to collect things to get a word but we never even used them, we were given an audio clue saying we had already mentioned the word (a word that was just very in theme and something else early in the game hinted towards it). I wish instead he would have said 'go look at the things you have found and they will tell you what you need'. We were well ahead of time so I'm not sure why they went about it that way.

Tip for enthusiasts - don't do this room at the end of a day full of rooms - you definitely need brain power and energy and we were well down on both. At some points the tech didn't work which was a shame as it probably lost us a few minutes and in this game minutes = pounds. Bit of a shame we didn't get as far as I know we are capable off. I don't think it would hurt having a team of 4 for this one.

This was a difficult room for two players…but possible. The puzzles aren’t totally linear so that led to a small amount of confusion, but does aid multiplayer ability. Some of the links to the puzzles-solution we only realised after the exit and our debrief, but they were fair.Hosted by Michael (our main hint guide where we didn’t use ANY hints….honest ;)), Daniel and Adele

For an older game, I wasn’t sure what to expect. However, it was a great surprise. It was our 11th game of the week and this was as up there with the very best. All the puzzle made sense, thematically it was so cohesive. Tech element worked so well, allowing everyone to be included. Worth seeking out. GM was the owner and had a wonderful chat afterwards. Hopefully more great rooms to come.
