Chicago. Year 1893 The First American World Exposition is about to open. A modest hotel with the appearance of a medieval fortress, it is the only one with available rooms: you have just entered the World's Fair Hotel. Its owner, Herman Webster Mudgett, also known as Dr. HHHolmes, is the only one who knows the chilling details that the strange building hides. The hotel hides windowless rooms, stifling corridors, hatches in the floor and ceiling, camouflaged gas pipes: architecture designed by HHHolmes himself to capture, torture and kill his guests. You, naive to what the hotel hides, decide to go in to reserve a room. At the reception you have separated and you soon discover that it is not just any hotel. You have 60 minutes to escape from the macabre hotel if you do not want to be the next victims of Dr. Holmes.

This room is advertised as bilingual but it really isn’t which we did explain to the owner when he called for feedback at the end. The game would have been ok but was really tired, there were at least 4 puzzles that they had to give us the answer to as you needed to know Spanish, and several bits just didn’t work. Frustrating as the GMs were young teenagers that had no English so them telling us that we had the correct code didn’t really help as it was in Spanish words. The owner did say they would make changes to adapt it for English speakers but in current format, and it has been open a long time looking at it, it definitely doesn’t work. Avoid is our advice
