The Millers, thought they had the Fairytale life - a wonderful marriage, a beautiful home and a gorgeous little daughter, Olivia. They also liked games, challenging games and they were very good at them, so when a stranger set them a challenge to find his lair and then the way out, Riches beyond their wildest dreams were promised upon success. The price to pay on failure… a small gift of hearts desire. In The Millers case that ‘small gift’ turned out to be their little daughter Olivia. Who disappeared from her bedroom in the dead of night. They have spent the years since searching for the mysterious stranger and their daughter, hoping to play the game again and win her back. Having, finally, found him and agreed the stake they are now pleading with other escapologists to help them defeat the wicked ‘little man’. Do you want to play a game? Do you have the skills to defeat the man with no name? Are you prepared? As there are worse things in life to lose, than just a game… ...Afterall, not all Fairytales have a happy ending.

Very friendly and helpful staff who adjusted the scares delivered by the live actor appropriately considering my groups needs. Original story and a big space made this a great experience.

The most important thing to know about this room and Deception, apart from the fact that it is a high quality room with great puzzles and an engaging storyline is; if it all gets too intense, if the jump scares aren't for you, if you give it a try and absolute hate it, you can always turn them off. Whether that be before entering the room or part way through, you don't have to keep the fear intensity going if it's just too much. It's a great safety net in what is a very scary room. Also we all absolutely loved the automatic failure element. Never played a room with that before and it definitely kept us thinking about everything we did. We will definitely be going back to Deception.

Not at all
We did duck through a room but I'd say you could probably get away without doing that. Nothing physically active. We did have to keep running between rooms but that was our fault not the design of the game.
Yes but be very aware of the live actor element

You park in town then walk to the location, we went late on a Sunday and it was easy to park but I imagine during peak times parking could be harder.

We loved this room. The jump scares were well timed and we all had a lot of fun working out a wide range of fun puzzles. I recommend this company so much!

This was the first room we played at deception. The story and theming was fabulous! The jump scares definitely got us in a few places. You are told if you are “caught” by a character then you automatically fail which put pressure on us to hide rather than solve puzzles, though I feel they probably don’t throw you out the game if they do see you. Like their other room we went back to do, we found it very difficult with just two players and didn’t escape. However we still enjoyed it. There is a puzzle which only gives you limited time to solve at the end, and if you do it wrong it’s game over even if you have time left, which is not a concept I’m overly keen on (we didn’t get that far anyway 😂)
