It's definitely a perk when you have the experience with building haunted houses and then go into the escape room business and that showed here, really nice set but definitely felt like a basic story for a serial killer room and in all fairness very rarely will you find a good enough serial killer room to have a story that's different than "[insert name] is a serial killer and has kidnapped you and you have to escape before he comes back in 1 hour" so it wasn't like we were expecting it to be crazy good and different anyway, however it was an overall well done room with a couple of new things we liked. Customer service was great, and they were nice enough to show us around after.

Room had some interesting twists I haven't seen before in an escape room. Staff was great and there were very few things about the room I disliked. Definitely worth a try, we're going back to try the Paranormal one soon!

Idk. I may have been in a bad mood, but I’m just over the unkept horror aesthetic. This place isn’t my favorite.

Gameplay

It was fine. I’m not a fan of puzzles that can’t be moved or else it messes up the whole puzzle. I also felt like a couple things were a little deceiving.

Atmosphere

I’m tired of horror rooms being unkept because it fits the theme. This place could be a lot worse, but it still felt grimy.

Some people are going to think being handcuffed is cool. We’ve just done it a few times.

Story

Serial killer will get you in an hour. Probably the most used theme out there. Nothing special.

Got handcuffed at the beginning of the room which was fun. Very smooth game and I loved the atmosphere.

This room is very immersive and really nice! We did it with 2 players and it was quite straightforward. In the beginning we were quite stuck (literally) for a while but that was also fun! The room has some unique puzzles and setups. If you like murder mysteries this room is for you! Probably it’s even better around Halloween since it’s in a themed haunted house with amazing props.

This room has the advantage of taking place within a haunted house so it has really nice set design. The puzzles are pretty fun and it’s certainly a unique experience.

  • Wasn’t really our style of play, but we enjoyed it more than most search-centric escape rooms.
