The Cabin: Chapter 2 - Monie Motel

Really really enjoyed this room. Much more up to par with the great rooms at Escape Hour. The Chapter 1 was honestly a disappointment compared to this and others. This one was awesome!! Our game master Miranda was terrific! From the jump she had us engaged and was very kind and helpful. Can’t wait to see if chapter 3 is as great as 2. I would honestly skip chapter 1 or just have lower expectations.

This was my first live actor experience and it was a total surprise to me (my wife planned and booked everything. Percy (our GM) was in character during our *entire* experience. Like, from the moment we approached the door. The acting was so good I wasn’t sure I liked it at first - because I was genuinely scared - while playing. Be prepared for how great they are, because once I got with it, I was 100% on board.

We made it out with 20 seconds to spare! SO FUN! So creative! The jump scares were terrifying but so fun at the same time! Well done!

This Cabin Series really has me wanting more. I was a little skeptical about playing this one thinking it might be more of the same. But let me just say, you will not be expecting this! So much to do, so much to see and so many screams. This run down motel looks like it has been nestled in the side of a mountain for many years. Such an amazing set. Barely made it out of this one and wanted to stay for more. Matty I hope your family is free now. Oh wait! Cabin final chapter! Let’s gooo!

We had a great time with chapter two. Although scary experiences are not our favorite, the puzzles and theming were so satisfying to solve that it was definitely worth it. The amount of exploration of this “room” was my favorite aspect.

Our experience with doing Chapter 1 & 2 of The Cabin was fantastic! Our game masters of Megan, Miles, and Ky were absolutely wonderful and really made our experience all that more exciting. We were a group of four, and definitely felt the terror as we did these rooms. Highly recommend bringing a semi-large group — you do NOT want to be by yourself for this one! Really fun rooms, though, and I can’t wait to come back to do more.

So we did not get to do the scary version because we had a young kid with us that didn’t do so hot during chapter one. However this still had a spooky feel to it and I’m sure the sense of urgency and scary would have been dialed up. This felt like a run down danky hotel and was done very well. If you play Chapter One this is a must play.

Chapter two is an amazing experience! I felt like I was in a movie the entire time. So scary and not for the faint of heart. The set is something right out of the movies and gives off that old slasher motel vibe. You have to do this experience.

I absolutely love Escape Hour and everything they do. They are by far the best place in Austin. We did this room after only being open for a couple of days so take that in consideration. We loved chapter 1. This experience was more vast. The puzzles just didn’t flow for us. There wasn’t enough signposting and we ended up being handheld by the GM through most of the puzzles. That was so frustrating and just not fun. We were given 4 flashlights for 5 people. 3 of them would only stay on for 3 seconds at a time and would turn off. It was such an unnecessary distraction and just fueled the frustration. I think I’m going to start bringing my own flashlights. We did enjoy the jump scares and the rich story. We only got through about 80% of the room with 5 people. Everyone was just so bummed at the end.
