Call of the Ancient

As always, EHA put on an amazing show. Stop back in time and get ready to save the world. Someone made poor life choices, and you’ve an hour to put it all right. No pressure. This room is spooky, but not scary. We have done the Cabin multiple times, and that definitely had us more worked up in here, but don’t expect jump scares or live actors in this escape. The immersion is still the best in the business, though!

Fun room, if I'm being honest, for the price point the room is a little basic. The flow of the puzzles was very linear so our group really didn't have to split up for very long. The story was very surface level, so there really isn't much to comment on. This is just me being picky, but the actor in the pre-game video was very obviously reading from a script off screen so I was never fully immersed in the world. I enjoyed how they used the space to make us crawl but can easily see how people could get stuck spending lots of time in there. We played as a group of 4 and the puzzles weren't that hard for us. Only a few logic puzzles, mostly finding numbers and inserting them into locks. Quite a bit of reading but not so much that we were spending too much time on it. We would have easily ended up as the first place on the leaderboard if we opted for the "enthusiast mode" as we only used 2 clues. There was a point when a door locked us into a small space on accident which ended up losing us a few minutes right at the end. I don't want to dog on the game master but it took far too long to reopen that door. They also didn't mention it at all. I'm not going to say don't come here because you SHOULD support small family owned escape rooms, I just was hoping for more considering the price.

A solid room. Not as amazing as some of the others at Escape Hour, but decent. The theme was great and the props were fun.

Super fun and unique room. One of my favorites I've ever done

Absolutely wonderful room! We loved all the puzzles!

Another amazing experience from Escape Hour! The theme and atmosphere are top notch! Overall simple/recognizable puzzles with unique themeing.

Unravel a dark, Lovecraftian mystery and strive to undo the horror currently menacing the world. Puzzle-heavy, excellent use of space, and a story that builds. Some parts may be difficult to access for folks with limited mobility. Our GM, Ky, was lovely!

Aside from one puzzle that had a temporary glitch, we loved everything about this room, from the theming to the set to the story to the puzzles to the unique way the GM interacts with you.
