Escape From The Haunted Manor

This was a super unique experience to play with individuals who speak different languages! Each player is given a small, translator device to wear and use to help communicate, but it was also fun trying to find other ways to communicate with the group. The puzzles were simple and not language-dependent. However, the simplicity of the puzzles did not minimize the overall quality of the experience, in my opinion. There is a live actor in the room and it got truly spooky sometimes! The game master is also in the room with you, and they are helpful making sure the group stays on the right track (in all languages). Would I fly all the way to Japan just for this room? No. Would I recommend it if you're already there? Absolutely!

We were 6 and had an awesome time. It was such an exciting game with that touch of suspense and jump scares. We were all adults so it was mainly a fun scary experience but for kids it could be pretty scary.

9.5/10 One of the scariest and realest escape room ever - I was so scared I wanted to dip halfway, whichever has never happened before, but of course I would never do that! I stuck it through, was terrified and screaming the whole way and loved every second of it. Storyline, realistic puzzles and immersive experience were all top tier. Would definitely recommend!

Love this room! Personally as a non-horror fan and don’t play rooms with live actors that much, this room has just the right amount of scares. Puzzles in this room are relatively simple and straightforward and don’t add much to the story, the focus is more on the horror experience. There are a few jumpscares and interaction with live actor which makes the room more immersive. I love the set design, a realistic Japanese house which integrates well with the story. Interactions with the live actor are also logical. GM stays in the room for hints. I think some people may think that it breaks the immersiveness a bit, but for our group of 2 non-horror fans, our GM acts as our emotional support. Despite the language barrier, our GM still tried to use simple English to communicate with us and encourage us to explore the spaces, ensuring us to enjoy the most out of the room. We are given an ending of the story after we escaped, which wraps up everything well. This room is also completely English friendly, hints and story are all available in English. Would definitely recommend if you are interested in slightly scary room and are looking for a horror experience more than a puzzle solving room.

I want to like this game. It has a good concept, fun interaction with actor, and somehow exciting. This game is mainly about searching. However, the room is FULL of do not touch stickers. They could simply just fix things down. Big immersion breaking. There is also a sliding cabinet I could open and has NO do not touch sticker on. I took some stuff out from inside the space that wasn’t supposed to be open and started trying to find clues. The GM didn’t even know or try to stop us, until my husband checked with the GM. Smh. Room is also beat up. There is a puzzle doesn’t even make sense, but I am fine if it is intuitive enough. Unfortunately, it is not. The worst of my experience was the GM. I personally don’t like GM being in the game, but it is fine if they don’t have a control room to monitor the game because I understand some companies just don’t have the space for it. However, our GM didn’t seem like want to be there. She refused to give us a hint or even a nudge. She has no idea where were we. We played the Red Room two days ago and had a much better GM. If you want experience and no puzzle, this is for you, and I wish you get a better GM than we had.

Can be done in English. Scary room with plenty of interaction with live actor. Game master stays in room as hint system and assistant.
