A tragic loss. A happy family destroyed. A desperate man, irresistibly drawn to dark forces. As the door slams shut behind you, you're trapped in the world of Eli Howitz, an enigmatic figure whose gut-wrenching story pervades every millimetre of the room. Just what happened in Eli's toy shop? You've heard the rumours. You know the horror stories off by heart. But how much truth is there in the police report? Can there really be ritualistic carvings on the walls? They say there were glowing symbols, and toys that whirred, clicked, and span on their own... Our resident genius created Howitz after too little sleep and too many disturbing movies! There are scenes of a nature that might upset in here. Of all the escape rooms in Nottingham, this is the one that could cause sleepless nights. If that kind of thing messes with your head, we recommend leaving the door locked on this one. With the clock inexorably marking off the seconds and minutes of your nightmare, you only have limited time to find out what really happened in Eli's shop. Hunt for clues. Track down the horrifying puzzles that will bring you one step closer to freedom. And get the hell out of there, before the room claims you as its own. There aren't any escape rooms in Nottingham that are as intense as this! At the very heart of Howitz lies a truth too terrible to imagine. Dare you uncover it? Enter Eli's world, and discover the man behind the myth. But don't tarry too long, or you could become just another plaything for the black magic that holds this room in its grip...

A great room overall with some puzzles that we’ve not seen before. Whilst not super challenging for us it was still a great room

Wasn't sure what to expect, but had a really fun game and laughed a lot. Some jump scares but more scooby doo scary than anything else.

A suitably creepy room with a couple of moments that made shriek out in surprise, also some clever usage of lighting and props elevate this room. I've heard that sometimes there is a live actor but we did not have one (it really didn't need it)

Classic creepy toy shop game. There were a couple elements which were good fun and clever but nothing too out there. Didnt find it scary but i’m not one to be all that fussed by jumpscares. You can tell the room is older and it does need a refresh/face lift and i think it could be a lot better.

Spooky room, a good one if you like a scary room but not TOO scary. Well decorated and flowed well. Great GM as always with escapelogic. Would recommend!

Loved the theming and story of this room. It’s very creepy and there were plenty of jump scares. Unfortunately as an experienced team of 4 we found the puzzles very simple and there weren’t many of them even though it was a linear game (the gm did explain the scary aspect usually slows groups down) There was an unusual puzzle that I haven’t seen done elsewhere that was really fun to complete! Would recommend this room but best for smaller groups if experienced.

We found this two easy with 4 players. It is a linear game so only one puzzle to work on at a time

First room with a live actor in. Was very well themed and lots of scary places. As a group of 4 we found it quite easy. There wasn’t a lot of puzzles. I was very distracted by the amount of items in the room, and a lot of red herrings.
Gameplay
There were some great moments in here, the rooms didn’t exactly link, but it was good nonetheless.
Atmosphere
Very good theming! Lots of attention to detail and quite immersive.

He was very mean to us, but in a horror themed room this is a bit plus!
