Heirloom

The spirit of Valac guides me and I bend to his will. An awesome, spooky experience traversing through multiple creepy spaces. A clear underlying narrative that led to an end goal and a couple of jump-scare moments, I had a lot of fun. It’s clear a lot of passion and love went into this room. It’s personal and immersive from the jump and really lends itself to those who want to buy in. Choosing cursed spirit cards to begin was a super cool touch that my group really appreciated. The room itself is a little worn which actually lends to the experience in some places but also made some tech a little fiddly. Forgivable for me. Our GM Jordan was awesome and set the tone well. A really entertaining and enjoyable room, definitely check it out.

Heirloom was such a unique and eerie experience from start to finish, complete with creepy dolls, an in depth story, and 4 special amulets distributed between players, very nice. The design of the room was really clever with enough authentic props and hidden tech to create a really unsettling atmosphere. Some tricky puzzles throughout if you don’t pay attention but overall I had a really fun time uncovering each story beat and unlocking new creepy areas. A classic spooky escape room. Jordan our GM was really lovely and accomodating, definitely worth checking out if you’re in Ballarat!

I want to start this review open and honest, I was sat on the floor the entirety of this experience. Somehow my motion sickness kicked into this slightly slanted room. HOWEVER! From what I was able to participate in, this room was a very enjoyable experience. From choosing roles to help you with the experience, the setting, the music and to the overall design of the room, everything felt in place and flowed well. One of the roles didn't seem to be as important as the others however it did allow me to be sick in the corner, facing the walls... with my eyes closed (mostly speaking to myself).

The puzzles in this room was not particular logical and it is difficult to see the point of some of them. The story which attempted to tie the room together didn’t make sense and was poorly thought out.
