Mark as done to rate

You are in darkness, hooded and forced into a cell. Your ritual was overtaken, and the Holy Inquisitor paraded you through town. You, your friends, your work — treated as a cautionary tale. Now? Nothing but darkness. This is not YOUR darkness though. It doesn’t wrap around you in comfort but it encapsulates you, bars you in promising pain. Your execution is set and the man designated to perform it is famous in this town for his grudge against any practitioners of the dark arts. If he has his way with you your death will not be swift. Will you escape to practice your magic again or will Bloody Elbow pull the evil out of you one bone at a time? Taking place in the 15th century, you have been arrested. Your crime? Witchcraft. This game is a Thrilling Adventure to escape from the dungeon before the Bloody Elbow returns to strike you down. You only have 60 minutes to get out. Can you survive?

A good setup with intriguing gameplay. This game is a good stepping stone to doing Cannibal - both in terms of ambience and thinking process. It's a scary setting but I wouldn't say the scare factor escalates much. There was a section where you make a "proper" use of a prop - that was really cool! Normally, you wouldn't do something like that in an escape room (you will know what I mean). Most of the puzzles aren't "difficult" - you just need to think practically and be observant. Although we escaped, overall experience could have been better if the communication with our gamemaster was better (wasted time on a puzzle + almost went off script with the process). Also, while the darkness added to the ambience, for some sections, it felt a tad too dark. I'd still recommend this room though as you will likely want to experience all the escape rooms in this location.

Gameplay

Challenges you to think or do some thing differently than typical escape rooms (like their Cannibal room but not as intense).

Atmosphere

Atmosphere was immersive. High quality props.

Customer service

Usually, everyone is great here but we had some miscommunication with the gamemaster that detracted from the overall experience a touch. But otherwise, their GM's are good and staff tries to accommodate you reasonably.

Particularly interesting or different

Yes

Your intro the room and starting positions are engaging. Use of props done well.

Story

Elements well integrated.

Difficulty

Medium

Some locks don't open and that's where the challenge comes in - how do you still solve it?

Game tech

Mechanical

Quite mechanical in a good and thematic way.

Ideal number of players

4

Doable with 2 experienced/adept players. 4-5 make for the ideal initial set up for the full experience. More than that would definitely feel crowded.

Scary

Spooky

Scary because of setting (but not necessarily the developing events).

Minimum age

16

Graphic props, some puzzles are better suited for adults (safety).

Was anything broken?

Yes

A rope went off its pulley which led to a key being stuck. But our GM was able to adjust and adapt the game accordingly.

Live actors

No

Somewhat

Some crouching/crawling (can be done by one person) + reaching out for a few things.

This was a fun but easy room. We almost didn’t come back here because we did not have a good experience with a previous room we did here. The employees are all really nice. This room was nicely designed and was a bit spooky but not too bad. I’m a jumper and I didn’t jump at all. We are going to come back and try their hard room Cannibal’s Den next week.
