Mark as done to rate

Ghost stories always seem silly, until the lights go out. Everyone has heard whispers of the once great Maycroft family, especially the story of young Susan Maycroft. Executed for practicing witchcraft, they say Susie still haunts her ancestral home, seeking vengeance on those who wronged her. You laughed when you first heard that story, but you aren't laughing now. ​Cursed by the Witch, you are desperate to shatter the spell before it claims your soul! Don't be afraid! After all, stories are only stories, right?

Six people is ideal. Everyone will be working on something. I loved this room though. Very challenging and rewarding.

Best DM ever.

One of the hardest I’ve ever experienced. Not because the puzzles are so difficult but because there is so much to do.

10 escape rooms

We really enjoyed the puzzles in this room but even with 75 minutes we weren’t able to escape. My boyfriend and I have done 30+ rooms and struggled finding enough time work through all of them. We enjoyed the rooms and the props/decorations. Only suggestion would be to turn off the timer when using a hint because it took a while for the girl to come into the room and figure out what hint/clue she wanted to give us.

I love a good challenge, but this wasn’t my favorite. I played with a group of very smart and experienced individuals, and we managed to escape, but with only a few minutes left. I know that part of the challenge is the complete darkness, but it was more of an annoyance. No one wants to play an escape room with one hand (because the other is always holding a damn candle). Nevertheless, the logic puzzles were cool. They definitely fit the theme. I’d say it’s worth a play if you’ve got a good group. It’s the type of escape room that’s good to have on your list as one you’ve tackled, but it’s not necessarily the most fun while playing.
