I loved this room! I also have played headcase here and I think the set design and how the room was made was great. I definitely recommend this game!

Gameplay

I think the game play was very straight forward. I would say this gameplay is linear because it is hard to move on without getting something before

Atmosphere

I loved the atmosphere it was really giving murder mystery!

Customer service

I think my GM Jacob was really good and very helpful! The staff there is also great!

Difficulty

Medium

I personally think this was an intermediate room because some things do require to think outside the box

Great room! Our game master Anthony asked if we wanted nudges instead of giving hints without asking, that was a nice. The room had a good amount of clues and things to solve. The room wasn’t too difficult for novices. The theme was a mystery but not scary, more spooky.

I really enjoyed this room. It’s not flashy or over the top, like the hot games out there, but it is a solid room all around. It has a great set with attention to detail and a couple of surprises up its sleeve, it has some really good and unique puzzles, and it flowed really well. I thoroughly enjoyed it and would recommend it to enthusiasts and beginners alike. I recommend 3-5 players as it is largely a linear room.

Gameplay

Great flow in this room. The puzzles all made sense and it was a lot of fun.

Atmosphere

The set is really well done. The attention to detail is apparent and there were a couple of nice surprises.

Customer service

Nice enough staff. Showing up to a locked door and having to contact someone to open it is not a very welcoming first impression of the company.

Story

The story flowed very nicely with the puzzles and set.

A bit of a macabre theme so it’s not for younger children.

Was anything broken?

Yes

Unfortunately, there was audio clue that did not trigger correctly (it instead repeated one that was given earlier). This caused us to ask for our only clue and the GM kept asking us if we had not heard the audio clue, which means he definitely wasn’t listening/paying attention or he would’ve known that we never heard that audio cue. Otherwise, the room is in good upkeep.

Secret at Whitmore estate was a great gen 2.5 ish room. It was a great mix of standard escape room with some newer stuff too. Really nice haunted mansion/clue esc set design, some good puzzles, and a fun finale. Unfortunately one audio cue didn’t work which made us waste about 10 minutes, and the GM denied it happening, but otherwise a great game if you’re in the area.

This is a great rendition of mystery at a manor, with a lot of inspiration drawn from Haunted Mansion at Disneyland. The puzzles themselves are fairly standard (good mix of locks and high tech stuff), but what sets it apart is the craftsmanship and attention to detail found in every corner of the room. From the intro video to the custom built props, everything in this room screams quality. This room would be a perfect place to take a first timer to show them why escape rooms are so fun. Note that there is a mature theme and some scary props, so little ones might or might not like it. If they handle Haunted Mansion at disneyland fine they should be able to handle this one.

Some really fun puzzles and the mystery theme was prominent throughout. Solving things felt very satisfyingly and loved the use of sound in the room. Felt like there was great care in creating this room and enthusiasts will really enjoy the attention to detail in here. We did have 1 minor hiccup where something was not reset properly but the GM stopped the timer and had us wait in the start area while making a quick adjustment. Not that big a deal for us. Our team of 4 got through this with just 1 hint, which we were kicking ourselves for not being as observant as we should have been. Overall, a solid room for an afternoon of fun.

minor set piece not reset but timer was stopped and they made sure we didn't see them walk in to fix it as to take away too much of the immersion.

I enjoyed this game. The set design is great in the starting area but that seems to be where they spent most of the money as it gets a little spartan as you progress through the game. Still, there are some nice props and a couple of clever puzzles (the other ones are not “non-clever,” but they are mostly very easy). The voice actor for the main NPC is suitably hammy, as the situation most certainly demands. Recommended but with the caveat that two players would be better than four as there isn’t all that much to do.

Yet another room where you can see the love and effort put into it. Puzzles stood out to me a lot, very logical and flowed well. Really pretty set design, kind of like a mystery who did it kind of thing. What this does room does right is definitely the story, each puzzle actually connects and progresses you in the story, which I don't see other cookie cutter rooms do, which makes this one really immersive.

Gameplay

Puzzles were creative and unique.

Atmosphere

Theming was done right along with the plot drops.

GM and hosts were very friendly.
