Blackout

This room flowed really well! I think we got stuck on like 2 puzzles because it was hard to get a clear direction on where to go next.

I really liked the atmosphere! I’ve done a lot of scary rooms and this room was the first that made me feel uncomfortable.

Our gamemaster for this room was awesome. I really liked her sense of humor even as the kidnapper came in I was having a blast. The hint system was really cool in this room and even then she was funny.

I mean. It’s a serial killer room. You can expect the same across but they had some really interesting puzzles that made it extremely unique.

My husband caught up on the story but I didn’t really see a story. He told me after what happened but I just don’t pick up on those things.

So. Before the game, we were asked if we wanted standard or advanced. We asked how dark the room would be because we are not good at dark rooms (we’ve done two and even though they were fun, we are just terrible at them). She said it was going to remain pretty dark so we took the standard room because we knew we were just not going to be good at it. Little did we know, at the end, she informed us that she switched it to the advanced. We made it out with three minutes left. I didn’t feel like the advanced was too difficult? I’m saying this because I don’t know what the standard one entails. Even though we got hung up on two puzzles, we flew through the room.

Not a lot of maglocks.

I believe 4 is the limit. It was a little tight for 2 people.

The opening interaction was the spookiest part. The game itself was not that scary, it was just uncomfortable. But in a good way.

This would probably freak out some younger kids.

Same with down the rabbit hole, an interaction at the beginning but was alone after that.

There is one part where you have to crawl, but not very active.

It does have small rooms with large props that take up a lot of space. You will be in the dark for some of the game. No color or sound based puzzles.

Noah was great, both as a GM and to talk to after the game

The game is pretty linear, so 2-4 is probably fine.

There's not a ton of parking, and it's shared with other establishments. Spaces are a little small.

Loved the unique gameplay, we really liked the live bugs

Very immersive, loved that you felt like you went through an entire house and that your first space is lit by lightning flashes only

While we've done plenty of "you've been kidnapped" rooms this one felt very complete

4-6 depending on experience level

Stairs to navigate

Need to navigate stairs and be okay with low light conditions
