In the spring of 1349, the Black Death Plague came to the city of Lincoln, this Plague killed an estimated 200 million people across Europe and around 50% of the population of Lincoln before it finally relented 1353. In many areas 90% of people who became infected with the disease perished, the bacteria spread easily by fleas and ticks and became airborne through coughs and sneezes. To this day it is still the worst Pandemic ever to hit the human race Luther Blofielt, the evil genius, has excavated 13th-century human remains buried beneath this very church, using the very latest DNA technology he has managed to recreate the Bubonic Plague bacterium, commonly known as the “Black Death”. Worst still, he has found a way to reproduce the bacteria using body parts from the horde of the undead that litter the streets of Lincoln. Luther MUST be stopped before he releases the Bacterium.

This was one of the better rooms at the venue that we did. More set dressing, a few different puzzles and things to try. Made good use of the various spaces available to them. Potential to add extra stuff in some of the areas.

This was the room at this venue with the strongest theme and environment. More set decoration, more variety of elements within. Couple of interesting puzzles that require some different thinking.

Good theme but run down & jump scares quite tacky. Think Halloween haunted house & you’re somewhere close but a decent use of the available space indoors & out. For a long time this was the only escape room operating in Lincoln. Once competitors moved it it became obvious they’d have to up their game to survive, & they seem to have branched out into VR a lot maybe to compensate for the slowing down in escape room take up?
