76 escape rooms
Like their other experience, this one is ugly and braindead. Things that sound good given the theme of this room. The problem is, it’s also poorly planned, terribly maintained, illogical, and not fun in the slightest. We’ve played many escape rooms by this point, and immediately know what we’re in for (and have a good idea about a creator’s intentions) immediately upon entering a room. This was either a sincere, misguided misfire that really believes it’s something more than it really is…..or it was made by a charlatan, whose decisions to cut corners by furnishing a space with the cheapest second hand materials and Spirit Halloween decor they could find, would somehow fool most people into a having a good time. It felt like the kind of thing someone’s dad would build in an afternoon or two for the neighborhood kids on Halloween night. Good god am I getting tired of sub par escape rooms experiences charging regular escape room prices. I really don’t like writing scathing reviews, in fact I never do, but this flat out deserves it. Not a single puzzle flowed. NOT ONE. The room is grimy and poorly maintained (and no, this was not set dressing). The story is completely nonsensical and nothing correlates to anything in a logical way. Endless reading, explanations and time waster puzzles that don’t add anything meaningful to the experience. Many “DON’T TOUCH!” labels on things that should be inaccessible (including an emergency escape door? Why make this even accessible if it’s not part of the experience?!) Everything was tired, and worn out. There were multiple busted props scattered about, and presumably all the “scares” were broken. You couldn’t even laugh at how stupid it was. Most notably one “pop up” thing was literally destroyed and the instructions pertaining to it (presumably to “wait in this spot to get scared”) were still in the room despite the fact NOTHING happened, as it was clearly in disrepair, non functioning and inoperable. Do anything else with your $32. Light it on fire for all I care. It would honestly be more entertaining.
