We love EO's Christmas rooms. I am continually impressed by their re-use of space from old games, and this was no exception.

The story this year involves Joey reappearing and more Christmas shenanigans. This game really played to our strengths as a team - very non-linear and a huge variety of puzzles.

As with other EO games, we really liked the addition of a second objective once the main one was completed, and the method of delivery for this made the game even more magical and enjoyable.

EO is a must-visit for us as soon as they open a new game.

Despite how it sounds, this isn't really an Easter room, but the theme and the context are very original and the sense of humour is evident throughout the room!

The space has been re-used really well and the separate start was done so that neither of us ever felt like a spare part.

Having a second objective after we completed the main objective was good fun and added an extra layer to an already great room.

Thoroughly recommended!

This was our first game we played at EO and we knew we were onto something special! A really well designed room - great theming, interesting puzzles and an interesting story. One puzzle that I've not seen in another room to this day! Definitely worth playing any game here.

My partner and I love the games at EO and we were looking forward to coming back to play this one when it had opened. Despite not being our favourite kind of theme, we enjoyed the game. As always, there was a good variety of puzzles and a great atmosphere. Well worth a visit!

Another great experience with EO. Having played all their previous games - two of which used this exact space - I was really impressed with the re-theme, it felt like a completely different game! The other pleasant surprise was the beginning of the game, but I'll say no more about that.

EO cannot be faulted for their fantastic experiences!

We thoroughly enjoyed Letters to Santa - EO's Christmas game last year, so we were looking forward to going back this year for Joey's Revenge. The game certainly kept us busy with interesting puzzles requiring a lot of teamwork.

It was interesting to see the re-use of the space from Captive, the previous game, but if you'd not played it, you wouldn't be any the wiser.

As always, it was a pleasure to see Kelly and visit EO, and we look forward to coming back when their new games are open!

We can't fault the games at EO - this wasn't the first one we played, and there's a reason we came back. As always, superb hosting from Kelly and it was great to have a chat about her experiences. Scary Tale has been well made, a variety of interesting puzzles and incredibly well decorated. Great for enthusiasts and beginners alike!
