Step right up! You’ve got games to play! And if you can’t beat them, you can’t make it into the carnival. And that’s what you’re here for, after all. These grounds are haunted by an old magician, and its your job to break the curse before the time is up, or you’ll be trapped in the carnival for eternity too…

Likes the theming of the room and the ways some of the puzzles worked. We did have 2 puzzles that gave us trouble because there was nothing directing you to where to start when using the numbers we got. So we had to ask for a hint and then got start at point A and go clockwise. We didn’t think it was that difficult overall. Not scary, uses a black light and well themed.

Decent room. I know it’s their newest, and they’re still making adjustments. Fairly immersive. A little empty, set-dressing wise. Pretty much everything you see is used. A few things didn’t work for us and the game master had to come in and fix them or tell us over the walkie what was supposed to happen. The story was really good and the main goal was fun, at least for us.

It was good. A few puzzles didn’t seem very intuitive, but I know it’s their newest room and they’re still making adjustments.

I’ve done a number of carnival themed rooms and this one was about average. The main goal though was different and fun.

Story

Clear, made sense.

Difficulty

Easy

Needed some hints just because it wasn’t clear what needed to be done sometimes. But with those hints, it was pretty easy.

Game tech

Mechanical

Lots of locks, button sequences, and magnets.

We did this with just 2 of us, but we’re experienced. Maybe 3 or 4 depending on level of experience among players.

Kids could probably do most of it, with some adult assistance here and there.
