I have to agree with the recent reviews. This is an older room that might have been better in its heyday, but was tired and had many broken parts, ruining the experience for us. It started out strong but very quickly became annoying and even frustrating. It is time to retire this room, or repurpose it with working equipment.

I feel like this one’s only highly rated because it’s scary and atmospheric. As an escape room, it leaves a lot to be desired. The puzzles are confusing and don’t always make sense. We had to ask for so many hints, and we’re pretty experienced and rarely need to ask for hints. The story was also pretty strange. The atmosphere was effective and well done, but there are definitely better scary rooms out there.

Loved the atmosphere of this room! Felt like you were in a horror video game. Felt like the gameplay had more potential, it got a little confusing at the end.

I legitimately felt like I was in a horror movie! So creative, so immersive; there were maybe one or two spots that I think could have been a little clearer, but it didn't ruin the experience at all.

Escape room was ok, there was so much potential. The cues were not that clear on what just happened. The GM had to tell us that a key popped out and where it was. There was a few jump scares but overall more spooky than scary because of the darkness.

This was my favorite escape room so far! It was spooky and atmospheric. Had hidden passages. Practical solutions, bot just lock and key. And was a nice surprise toward the end when the aesthetic changes. I am a fan of scary and was a big fan of this. Only negative was that we locked ourselves put of a solution by accidentally covering the puzzle ad not realizing it. Luckily a hint put us back on track. Thank you Alex fo helping make it fun and staying in character. Also, thank you for scaring my partner. You are a gem.

My first horror themed that was equal parts puzzle and atmospheric.

Story

Plot was a little hard to follow, but hindsight explains it well. I enjoyed some of the non-traditional aspects that required you to be brave.

I think a door or two didn't open as intended, but the taskmaster immediately and in character instructed us to open manually.

Maybe have at least 1 able bodied person. Probably not the most accessible for wheel chair or cruches.

Accessibility

You kind of need both legs, hearing, and vision. Color Vlindness shouldn't effect anything.

This was pretty scary and that made it so fun, despite not having live actors, I was pretty convinced otherwise. The puzzles were decently straight forward, but the atmosphere was phenomenal

  • The scenic was amazing. I thought Nautilus was great, but Orphanage was even better.
