Mark as done to rate
At the top of a hill, at the far edge of town, Stands a house where a family, was once happily found. The brickwork is crumbling, the paint is all peeled, The windows are boarded, and the front door is sealed. The grass is all dead, as if ravaged by drought. No one goes in, and no body comes out. But on a very clear evening, if your view is just right, If you squint and look carefully, you might see a light. At the tippety top of the rickety tower, Swings the loneliest lantern, and it burns for one hour. No one knows how it gets there, or who puts it out, But it indicates someone, or something’s about. And up at the peak, in a thick misty shroud, Brews a storm that’s becoming alarmingly loud. A dark cloak of droplets, punctured by brightening, A clap, and a boom! And mad stabs of lightning! The thunderclouds creep, t’ward the town more each night, And slowly, our hamlet’s succumbing to fright. And when the squall passes, if none of you speak, You can listen, and hear what begins as a shriek. It pierces the moonlight and rattles your bones, And as fast as it comes, it descends, into moans. It carries for miles, scares each man, child, and mouse, Is something alive in that creaky old house? A prisoner? A monster? A criminal kind? There’s no hint and no clue, no suggestion nor sign. So please, take a look, And see what you find, In the abandoned estate, Of one Franklin, N, Stein

A really family friendly and spooky game. I thought there was a lot of really great moments and satisfying wins. Happy to still give a thumbs up as the bones of the game was great. However, unfortunately we were met with multiple tech malfunctions and immersion breaking issues. The host was really friendly about it but it was very evident that we weren’t getting the usual experience of the game which was a real shame as I had been anticipating this game for a while. Overall though a fun game with some nice puzzle surprises.
Gameplay
There was clearly a lot of love and effort put into the design of this game. I think the puzzle flow was really fun. Lots of easy wins with some great challenges thrown in.
Atmosphere
After playing a lot of games with AI art inside it was so nice to see how much effort and care had gone into the design. I feel like there may have been a change to the lighting recently because the 2nd and 3rd space were super over lit and all the atmosphere was taken out of it. This felt like not the usual game lighting especially after Room One?

Story
A friendly take on a classic horror. The puzzles constantly referenced the story and propelled the game forward.
Difficulty
Medium
I liked the puzzle design a lot. I think if you’re an enthusiast this is a really fun room. However I do imagine the amount of puzzles might overwhelm less experienced players.

Was anything broken?
Yes
Disappointingly lots of the tech didn’t active for us, including the end which was a real shame. I will say it seemed to be a mix of reset errors and tech malfunctions. I also think we were in work lights in the last room as they were so disproportionately bright next to how much effort had gone into the set.

One thing I LOVE about this location is the way they tell their stories. The rhymes, the drawings, the music... everything is made so that we truly feel part of a fairytale. Huge thank you to the team for hosting us this weekend (we did the 9 rooms in 3 days and they were so kind)!

Fantastic room. The interactiveness, tech, and a few puzzles haven’t really seen before in other places really make this one a standout.

I recently visited an escape room that was nothing short of amazing. The high-tech elements truly set it apart, making the experience both immersive and engaging. Our host, Candice, was exceptional—her guidance and support were invaluable throughout the game. Her enthusiasm and assistance ensured that we had a fantastic time. If I could rate her, it would be a perfect 100 out of 100. Overall, this escape room experience was top-notch, thanks in no small part to Candice's outstanding contribution.
