The concept of the room is very unique as the whole room is done with no lights on. The room had a lot of jumpscares, and does have some loud noises.

A very unique room with it being pitch black. The puzzles felt a bit repetitive as there’s only so many puzzle types you can do in the pitch black. So the novelty wore thin (for me) halfway through. There was also one puzzle where instructions didn’t repeat so we were stuck without direction on what to do until we asked for a hint. Ensure your group is dead silent during any narration in the game. Still a fun experience as it’s unique, but I prefer a room where I can see the decor and have more challenging puzzles.
Definitely novel. Fun for the first bit. Simple puzzles, fit the story.
It’s pitch black, as advertised

I loved how spooky it is. We had to rely other senses because you could really see anything...its pitch black!!! We were told how many rooms and the order of them before we started so we kind of had a blueprint....yes we killed it!!! *#1 Best Record August 2023* plus *Elite Escapers Title*

A very unique approach to escape rooms as a this is a completely dark escape room. No light sources are allowed into the game. I wish the puzzles were a bit harder as we made pretty quick work of the game.

deserves all the praise it gets, unlike any other room out there and is immediately interesting from the moment you step into it i thoroughly enjoyed it and while it scared the hell out of me and my friends, it was honestly fantastic - would do again in the future for sure 10/10 - no complaints or issues, such a fantastic room

This room was very unique, but you definitely lose the “ wow “ factor without having anything to see. I've come back to change my rating on this game. I initially was disappointed without having anything to see, but in retrospect it was a unique and memorable experience.

9/10 Amazing room!!! Very different game play in terms of other escape rooms but it was super fun and spooky. We felt it was a bit short, we finished it in 40 mins with 6 people.
