Arkham, Massachusetts, October 1928.... Gather your fellow investigators and prepare yourselves for an experience like no other as you head into the world of Lovecraftian horror! Hired by the Miskatonic University, you find yourselves entering a seemingly deserted, shunned house in the oldest quarter of legend and witch-haunted Arkham. On the trail of stolen relics taken from the vaults of the University by a dangerous Cult, you and your fellow investigators must use all your cunning and investigative skills to search for clues and recover these dangerous relics before the ever approaching doom devours you and all of humanity! Inspired by the collective works of renowned cosmic horror writer H.P. Lovecraft, and by popular roleplaying games such as Call of Cthulhu and Arkham Horror, this 90 minute immersive tale will shock and delight you....

An absolute triumph of a room! The wife and I were absolutely buzzing walking out, we had so much fun. It’s one of the most original rooms I think we’ve ever played. It’s not your typical room. I won’t spoil anything, but I will recommend you go and try it. Immediately! Not a single fault to be had with anything. A brilliant, brilliant room.

This room is incredible, and now my favourite. It had a great level of atmosphere with amazing set design and puzzles. We were certainly kept busy, and the time fly by. We were having so much fun, I didn't want it to end.

WOW! Best room I've ever done. Location 🏢 The location was nice and central along with the building being easy to find, this makes it convenient to get to while on an outing. Parking is really close, only being about 5 minutes walking distance from the venue. Hosting & Briefing 🕵🏼‍♀️ Oli was our gameshost who welcomed us warmly and was lovely to chat to! The briefing was concise making it easy to take in all the information given to us. Set Design & Props 📐 The set design in this room is some of the best I have seen. Chatting with Oli, he explained how the room took 13 months to complete building and you can really tell how much love and care has gone into this.The immersion of this room really does make you feel like you've stepped into another world! The quality of all the decor and equipment is fantastic as well. Gameplay 🎮 The puzzles in this game were incredibly fun to do along with giving a nice challenge, especially with the wide variety of puzzles. Me and my team really enjoyed how we needed to have a good look around - which really helped us feel involved in the storyline. We also loved the trading aspect in the game too, as we had not experienced this before. As a team, we also really enjoyed how the room is Replayable with 3 potential outcomes! So we will certainly be back to have another go of this amazing game. Conclusion & Summary 📝 This is the first room Oli and his partner built and they have set a whole new standard for escape rooms. This is the best room I have ever played from the games hosting, set design, story, gameplay and immersion. I highly recommend for anyone who is reading this to go and play, you'll have a blast! We really look forward to what they have in store next! ❤️

Gameplay

The room flow was amazing and all the puzzles made sense

Atmosphere

Some of the best I have seen, you completely forget you're in an escape room!

Customer service

Oli, our GM, was warm and welcoming along with being really helpful for any questions we had before going in! Was lovely to have a chat to afterwards too

Particularly interesting or different

Yes

This game is a progressive story that unfolds in real time which was really fun! This room is like any other

Story

The story was really well done, especially with the immersion it created with the atmosphere of the room and progressive storyline.

Difficulty

Hard

This room provided a good challenge while still having a nice flow of gameplay and not feeling unachievable.

Ideal number of players

4

I'd personally say 3-4 people is ideal but their website also says 4 players!

Scary

Spooky

Spooky atmosphere but in my opinion, not much more than that. The spookiness mainly comes from the atmosphere from the story and set design.

Minimum age

12

I would say this room is more unsettling than anything! Really depends on the person so make sure to also read up on what their website says

Was anything broken?

No

Nothing was broken in the room and all the puzzles and props were really high quality.

Live actors

Yes

No live actor physically in the room with you but during your trading there's a character but they're really lovely.

Physically active

Somewhat

There are parts in the room where you may need to crawl but from my experience in the game, only one of us needed to.

Easy to find location

Yes

Nice and central with good signposting

Parking

Easy

There's a Car Park that's a 5 minute walk from the escape room.
