The Chesapeake Bay Butcher
Colonial Escape Room
Escape room
IRL
This is the third room we’ve done with Colonial Escape Room in Williamsburg and they’re consistently among the best between VA Beach and Richmond. This will probably be my longest review so I’ll focus on the SCARY, IMMERSION and PUZZLES. The room has been reviewed as one of the scariest on the east coast. While, that could be true (and the waiver discussion reinforces that expectation), the biggest bogey man is the one your brain creates out of the darkness and low lighting. If you can just push through what you have to do knowing it’s a game, you will leave very satisfied. Think of it as a very well executed Halloween house that you might experience at a theme park but more immersive and with a game element. Immersion is top notch. Really feels like a place you shouldn’t be and it’s a rather big escape room in its entirety. You’ll need to work quickly and keep moving. They say they put you in a horror movie and it’s as close as any of the rooms we’ve done anywhere (pushing 20). No clock in the room and no hints from your game master who is otherwise very involved in your game. There are a lot of locks in the room. A LOT. If there’s one ding on this room is that virtually every puzzle is a word or number lock with a couple exceptions. And while it’s a very linear sequence, we were able to compile clues that made it unclear what went with what. In hindsight there are means to sort it out of the very low itself didn’t pose a challenge to even seeing some of the clues or locks. No phone lights are allowed. We were hung up a bit in one area and were pushed past a couple solutions to get us to the FINALE in time to have a chance at success. That was another sequence of interesting and fun puzzles that we solved through someone’s attention to detail and, honestly, experience from another room. Despite being pushed through a couple puzzles we left this room excited and satisfied more than any other room we’ve done. There are so many puzzles that it didn’t matter and made me question whether the number of puzzles could actually be slimmed down a bit. Definitely constructed in a way that it could be optional. Highly recommended. Fight through your fear, don’t let it distract you from the puzzles and pay attention to details. In return you’ll have the best horror themed escape room yet.

Not scary or creepy. There is a doll house and a lot of dolls but it’s actually extraneous to the room and puzzles in general even if roughly included in the plot. The puzzles are not hard. A couple depend more on how you manipulate them than being difficult lit to solve. Overall a fun and well decorated room. Linear of that matters to you.

Fun room in the clue theme.

Great theme and quality in the room. Very immersive. One odd puzzle that I think they helped us through but one of our favorites out of the 10 or so we’ve been to.

Fun room. We thought it was on the hard side though it was one of the earlier rooms we did.
Cabin 11

Fun room with cool puzzles we hadn’t seen anywhere else. Theming was nice.
Greta's Diner
Escape Room Virginia Peninsula

Fun room with interesting clues. A bit on the easier side if you’re experienced. One major hang up we had was more about looking in a very specific location more than solving clues.

Basic theming. On theme but not really believable enough to be immersive. Some puzzles were easy. Some confusing.
