TLDR: Book early, stellar staff, 🤯 effects, dark and compelling narrative, spooky not scary, some tedious puzzles, bring 4 people, absolutely do this amazing room.
First things first, this room was booked solid the week we came, so plan ahead if you’re visiting because you must do this room. We came to do Rebecca at 10pm but the game masters were so utterly amazing they stayed SUPER late to get us into this game. Can’t say how grateful we are.
I think this room breaks every record of how many ways you can move and use a space. It started right from the top and the 🤯 reveals just kept coming. There are no words to capture the construction feats of this room.
The narrative was super dark but very compelling, and the narrative builds as the room goes on. Big kudos for this. This room is spooky, but any fear you have is in your head. This room’s objective is not to scare you.
We pride ourselves on doing rooms with two people that many claim need at least four. This is the first time we will concede that you should probably bring at least 3, but ideally 4 people. It is absolutely doable with 2, but a couple of the puzzles were extremely time consuming and additional hands would move you faster and reduce frustration. We are game for hard puzzles, what we are not crazy about are puzzles that, once solved, take FOREVER to complete. But again, at least the puzzles were mostly supporting the narrative.
Slightly stronger puzzles would have scored this very high, but it still comes in at #10 on our Top Ten list at time of writing.

We took issue with a couple puzzles in this room. It’s frustrating when you’ve solved a puzzle but then it takes FOREVER to complete it. More people in your group will alleviate this (to a point).
Wow wow wow. 🤯 Mind blown so many times.
Seriously: the best. Stayed until 2am so we could do the room (WAY past opening hours)
Particularly interesting or different
Yes
There were some new elements in this room that were fan-tastic
Very dark, and we are here for it.
This company just seems to sit around and think of new and crazy things they can do with a set.
Oh man, we did it with two but four is ideal if you care about your time. Some puzzles take a LONG time and more hands and eyes help.
Any fear is all in your head.
