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

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)!

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.

Very fun and well thought out. We only got hung up on one puzzle really. After a clue we progressed through most of the difficult ones, but that one had us stuck and part of it was a sensor was a bit finicky, but it didn’t diminish the experience for us, it was still really fun.

Gameplay

Super fun and some very tactile puzzles which you don’t see often.

Atmosphere

Super immersive and well made.

Customer service

Our GM was very good, probably our second best we ever had. She was enthusiastic and got into character when starting us off. We liked her very much.

Physically active

Somewhat

Not overly in whole body, mostly hands which was good for us because we had a teammate with an injured ankle and she was fine.
