My favorite game that I’ve done so far! Our Game Master Ashley made it so much fun. Great room, great puzzles and a great time!

Overall this was a very unique experience, a bit creepy at times.

Truly an incredible escape room experience. Live actor was so great and really brought the whole room together. Not for the faint of heart.

This was very well done; one of my favorite rooms to date. Michael was our "friend" and he was AMAZING. The creep factor was high and the layout of the rooms was really fun! The clues were very clever, but do note almost all the locks are combos, but even if you hate that I would NOT let that deter you! Yes, It is low tech, but the whole experience was incredibly fun. The way they did the game guide was super inventive and made it fun to not just have a disembodied employee voice assisting you if you get stuck. HIGHLY recommend!!

This was definitely one of the more memorable games we have done. The puzzles and clues themselves were fairly basic, but they were perfectly tied into the plot and an environment to make them engaging. The fact that there was a live actor made us a little nervous, but the game truly wouldn’t be the same without them. Michael was an amazing GM/Actor as he was when we did Bros For Life! Highly recommend for fans of a “thriller” genre of room.

HIGHLY recommend! This room is amazing and super immersive. Michael was our GM and he was outstanding and really made the experience one of a kind!

It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood… This room was absolutely phenomenal. It’s an experience like no other, thanks to our amazing live actor Kamila and her astounding ability to step into a role with so many layers. You’re on Morty reading reviews, so you probably know this room is indeed scary. We’re scaredy cats, and we asked to have a less scary experience without completely removing the horror. Kamila was most excellent in not only honoring that request, but still managing to scare us in ways that still made us feel composed and able to face our fears and solve the very clever thematic puzzles. There was even an element of improv that she provided when one of our locks completely broke, and I applaud her on her quick thinking and performance. Bravo! Won’t you be… her neighbor…?

What a great room and the GM Felix made it super fun!! We enjoyed the flow and story. Some clever puzzles.

80's theme was on point. The live actor that would come in and out of the room is what really sells this experience very well. Loved the throw back on the 80's and the creepy allure of mystery. It is as scary as your live actor will make of it. Our actor was on point, sadly that was her last day working at that store. But overall great Escape company!

Rating: 4.5/5 - Thrilling and engaging actor interaction, but less impressive set and puzzles Pros: ➕The interaction with the actor is what makes this room so good, they did a fantastic job playing multiple roles. Without the actor, the room would feel a lot more average. ➕Creative and fun hint system ➕Thrilling narrative and role playing ➕Scare level is adjustable, we played it toned down since my partner doesn't like to be scared, but the GM was able to target me (as requested) for a couple of jump scares. ➕Set and props looked appropriate to the theme with multiple areas to explore ➕Childhood nostalgia Minor things that could've been better: ➖Set was nicely done but was a bit plain compared to TEV's other themes ➖Many puzzles were uninteresting and forgettable. Overall I'm not a fan of TEV's puzzle design since they are too reliant on counting things, putting items in order, and figuring out letters/numbers/patterns. It gets a bit repetitive and feels like it's from and older era of escape rooms despite these being recent rooms. ➖Not enough tech or physical puzzles, it's too heavily padlock/key based for my tastes We played as a team of two and did just fine, ideal is 2-4 since there are some tighter spaces. It's a thrilling game with some darker themes, it's on the scarier side but it's not gory. My ranking of TEV rooms starting with my favorite: 1. Phantom Files: The Investigation of Lockturne Manor 2. Click 'N Glitch Arcade Palace 3. Nightfall: Creature at Camp Deadwood 4. Operation Arctic Storm: The Final Meltdown 5. Neighborhood Watcher
