The Old Haunt

The electronic nature of the room made for a stressful and confusing experience. We were unsure of what we had actually solved ourselves and what timed out and automatically solved. A countdown clock is sorely needed, and the automatic solving feature prevents general variation in people; some puzzles are going to be faster or slower for different people. The staff also did not have time to give us a rundown of the puzzles afterwards, which we have come to expect as a service with all the escape rooms we have done. There was also a 3 clue/call limit, which added to the difficulty. The clues themselves I cannot judge because I simply do not know if we solved them or the room did it for us. We left feeling frustrated, confused and unsatisfied with the experience. Would not recommend.

Definitely one of the better Strike rooms I’ve completed. A good array of puzzles that flowed mostly pretty well and made sense. You get some items a little early on and that can be somewhat confusing but then you’re given all the pieces for the final puzzle right at the end which feels like it could be reordered. The stormy atmosphere was fun and all the puzzles fit the theme really well. Probably the first Strike room I’ve played that felt like it had a clear storyline, very nice. Some puzzles auto-solve which is a feature some people don’t love so be aware. Overall a decent challenging room.

It was all through electronics, I didn’t like the fact that the clues would then often time out, and get very confusing

A good room and a high recommendation! Electronic so saves the need for hints from the staff !

The atmosphere was fun and for the most part they had good puzzles. I just didn’t enjoy that the puzzles were on timers and auto solved if enough time elapsed. Pretty much impossible to it escape. They do have a score system that sort of keeps it competitive and the time is still crucial, though not for me. There was also a puzzle involving movie to time and it was a bit finicky. The GM admitted as much after the puzzle auto check completed.

Loved itttttt! Loved the atmosphere.

Didn't enjoy this room as much as other rooms we've done, not sure if that's because they're not an escape room company. There was a great feel to the room and some good effects but we didn't like that the puzzles just automatically solved after a certain amount of time, takes away from the satisfaction of escaping.

Lots of escape rooms resort to lock and key puzzles even if they don’t fit the theme. Not this room. Every puzzle was creative, on theme, and fun to do. It was probably easier for us having tried the other room first as we knew the style of puzzles, but we would definitely recommend!

This room automatically gave answers after a predefined time even though we did not ask for it
