Permanently Closed - Ah! Good! Glad to see you’ve arrived safely to Hex Manor. Thank you for volunteering for this incredibly suspicious and precarious operation. Your job is to investigate the disappearance of Sally, a seven year old girl who’s adopted mother, Madame Hex, has been leading authorities on a wild goose chase for several months. We have reason to believe the little girl is still trapped somewhere inside the manor. Find her, but be careful. That place is allegedly haunted. Our last inspector sadly never returned.

Of the 50 rooms I’ve done, this was one of the worst! The theme of the story did not match the ambience of the room. You can tell things were just thrown together and called an “escape room”. The room was also not reset in its entirety from the previous group, so some of the locks were not locked. Some of the puzzles or items were not working properly either. The GM had to come into the room a few times to fix things or trigger something to allow us to move on in the room. This escape room had absolutely no flow! Don’t waste your money on this room!!

Gameplay

One of the worst rooms I’ve done. It had no flow, some of the locks weren’t reset from the previous group, and 2 or 3 of the puzzles were broken or didn’t function correctly.

Atmosphere

Nothing special. The room didn’t fit the premise of the theme whatsoever.

Customer service

Our GM was nice and friendly.

Particularly interesting or different

No

The puzzles and the room didn’t match the storyline at all. Nothing made sense.

Was not very different from Jewel Heist. (I enjoyed Jewel Heist) Loaded with puzzles for puzzles sake. Didn’t fit the story. Also tarot cards and ouija board props are used, just a heads up.
