Great room. Great puzzles. Ask to do the spooky version. Love the callbacks and design of it over all. Surprised the rooms were so detailed because the venue was rather blank. Don’t judge a book by its cover this place rocks :)

This was a very fun game from start to finish. We chose the spookier version of the game, there were a few times I felt a slight unease from the spook factor and had to have my partner "do the thing", as it turns out I may be a little bit of a wimp. This isn't the first spooky room we've played, but there was one aspect here that we haven't seen elsewhere and it did make me emit a scream that I didn't expect, (sorry to the church that was in session in the building...) so I'd say it lived up to its spooky label. The puzzles were fun, attention to detail is key to being able to get past certain ones. We had a very attentive GM that had hints for us at the right times to get us out of there with a few minutes to spare.

My daughter and her friends did the scary version for her 15th birthday. They loved it and were able to finish.

Really awesome room with great special effects and fun game play. Highly recommend it, we played as a group of 4 (which worked well) but would be good for more people as well.

We played this at the “less scary” level, which made it delightfully creepy and eerie but not scary-scary (we talked to the GM afterwards and it seems like we could have survived the more scary version; there’s no insane clowns coming at you with chainsaws). The puzzling and the flow were one of the cleanest we’ve seen - most of the puzzles made thematical sense in the game world and we were never at a loss what to do next. There were a few surprises that were just delightful. The one exception to my general love for Something Wicked was a very process-y mechanical puzzle that was very hard for our team of two to complete; the psychologically savvy GM was able to read the frustration mounting in the room and help us out so we could move on and not have the whole game ruined (with a team of four or more, this particular puzzle may not be an issue at all). Highly recommended!

Gameplay

Overall great, with one tediously fiddly dexterity puzzle that was hard for our two-person team (but which our GM blessedly let us bypass after a dozen attempts before frustration would have ruined the experience)

Atmosphere

The puzzles (with the exception of the one mechanical one) fit incredibly well into the theme, and the set design was flawless.

My small but experienced group of 2 had an incredibly fun time playing this room! I wouldn’t say that the room is scary, but it is set in a creepy environment with a great atmosphere. I’ve done some legitimately scary rooms and even so, something about this one still managed to give me the creeps in a fun way! There’s a great mix of all different types and skill levels of puzzle. I don’t think ER enthusiasts will find it TOO challenging…though I believe we had to ask for a hint or 2. This room may be a bit tricky for newcomers, but they offer lots of hints if desired and I think patrons of any skill level would have fun in this room. This is a great company that recently reopened in a new location. Every staff member I’ve interacted with, in both old and new locations, has been great and I can’t wait to try out their other rooms!

We did the medium scary version of this and had so much fun! Wish we had gone the extra step and booked extra scary after finding out what happens! Unfortunately a small portion of the room was broken, but it did not affect our gameplay!

Staff was super welcoming and friendly. They were also trying a new staff member at the time. They were willing to help and provided time to talk with them about the challenges faced and if we enjoyed them or not.

We played the least scary version and it was the right amount of creepy for the 8-10 year olds in our group. We needed tons of votes but everyone had fun and was able to contribute. Staff is amazing and was very patient helping helping us with the many clues we needed!
