Absolutely incredible. An actor routinely jump scares you in super clever ways, and it has some of the best atmospheric tension too. The number of times we were asked to brave a pitch black darkness to find vital puzzle components… One of my top two favorite rooms of all time.

This was a blast! Felt like you were in a horror movie. The actor didn't interact with us *too* much. There was a great scare at the beginning, but through most of the rest of the room, your mind fills in the gaps with the maginificent sound design and creepy ambiance. Puzzles were fun and innovative, much more mechanical over technological.

Gameplay

The emersion was pretty cool in needing to use tools embedded in the mine itself.

Atmosphere

Felt like we were in a horror movie!

Customer service

GM was lovely and made sure everyone was up to speed before entering the room.

Particularly interesting or different

Yes

Teamwork was big with this one. I loved how two people had to do something different at the same time in order to reveal what was next.

Story

Plot was very memorable. You and your crew are trapped in a mine with a psycho pig man that lives inside of it! The room 'intro' was very, very fun - it gave great context to the room's story as a whole.

Difficulty

Medium

The puzzles *may* be on the easier side, but I'm rating them as medium due to the fact that players may be more on-edge due to the jump scares thrpwn in periodically. Anything feels harder when you're feeling on edge!

Scary pig man named Rufus!

Physically active

Somewhat

You're moving around between sections as each space gets unlocked. You do need to backtrack throughout through a pitch-black maze/tunnel!

Accessibility

Could make accomodations for those with hearing impairments. Might be a bit harder for those with physical disabilities.

Parking lot is available.

Best scary escape room in the city! Easily. Puzzles are a nice level of difficulty considering how well the atmosphere and actor slow you down! This place is great!

Its fun if youre into scary escape room. It seens like it tried to be more scary than an escape room, as the puzzles are quite simple. The only difficulty in the room is when the actor literally prevents you from doing what you need to do ..

Puzzles were a bit too simple. Not my favourite room from this company, but they do have great rooms.

As a horror attraction it was good but for an escape room it wasn’t the best. The puzzles were pretty simple when you could see. The actor came in way too many times and my group felt like they were trying to scare us away from puzzles. The atmosphere was good but too dark most of the time.
