The fate of countless lives hangs in the balance, and only your courage and cunning can save the day. The book Dracula by famous author Bram Stoker has been the inspiration for many vampire movies. One famous character from that book was Abraham Van Helsing. In this story, Van Helsing was a man of science who became the archenemy of the vampire Dracula. Stoker once stated that the Van Helsing character was based on a real person. But who? One possible candidate is Georg Andreas Helwing who was born on the 14th of December 1666. During the early 1700s, there was a rash of supposed vampire sightings and attacks in Europe. This period became known as the 18th Century Vampire Controversy. Many people banded together, determined to hunt vampires into extinction. A descendant of Georg Helwing recently discovered a journal that belonged to Georg Helwing. In this journal there was a reference to two friends, Aleksander Petrovic and Mikolaj Kowalski, who were helping Helwing with the task of exterminating the undead. Helwing’s journal goes on to state that both disappeared at separate times while investigating a member of the Slovanti family in 1728. So what happened to these two vampire slayers? Back In Time has been hired by a descendant of Georg Helwing to send a team back to Slovanti’s house in 1728 to determine the fate of these two vampire slayers and perhaps determine if vampires truly existed during this period. Do you and your team have what it takes to uncover the fate of Helwing’s two associates, or will you be lost in time as well? Sign up for this mission and find out!

This was an enjoyable room - suitable for 2 experienced and zoned-in players in terms of puzzle number, complexity, variety, and linearity. The room felt similar to the Salem Witch room. It was not scary but had a spooky design overall. A couple of helpful nudges kept us on track for success. The set design and the lighting was pretty decent. However, some of the "major props" could have benefitted from better design for immersion. Like their other rooms, when you solve a puzzle, there is a slight delay in form of changing lights or sounds before the result is revealed - just something to keep in mind if you're new to their rooms. The room is mostly mechanical. The surprise factor was not very high. Also, as is a theme with their rooms, there is always a secondary objective you need to accomplish - get the code to "escape" the room after you complete the primary objective. Handy to budget 5 minutes for that last bit!
Gameplay
Linear gameplay that flows well.
Atmosphere
Set design was decent and special effects came from the lighting. Felt that some of the props could have been designed with more effort for more immersion.
Customer service
Jareth and Victor have been great during the other rooms we did. However, for this one, there were two other staff members who seemed a bit distracted/in a rush. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt as the gamemaster (Camy, I think) was prompt when we needed her and was paying attention to our game.
Particularly interesting or different
Yes
Vampire theme was cool!
Story
Plot was okay. Nothing extraordinary but ties in with the evolving objective.
Difficulty
Medium
For inexperienced players, this may be more difficult. For experienced and zoned-in players, should be able to figure out "what" needs to be done - but the "where" may take some additional thinking.

Solvable by 2 experienced players. The linearity helps. For a mix of experience, 3-4 is good. More than 4 would feel crowded because there is no parallelism to the puzzles (and physical space).
Scary
Spooky
Okay for people who don't like scary stuff but are okay with an eerie atmosphere with audible unlocking sounds of set pieces.

Inside Stonebriar Mall - lower level (enter from Dillard's and the room will be right at the exit of Dillard's leading into the mall).
Parking
Easy
Park near Dillard's for quickest access. A couple of minutes to walk inside.

Super fun spooky (but not scary) vampire room! We found things pretty logical, even with some tricksy puzzles. The mood, lighting, and sounds elevated the room and set. We channeled our inner Buffy and slayed!

What a fun room. After doing all of their other rooms, we kind of knew what to expect from the puzzles. Victor was a great GM, and we were lucky enough to have them for all of our rooms here. I highly recommend doing their rooms. I’m sad we’ve done them all. I’m sure we will be back and repeat some!

We all liked this room. Group of 5. Linear but the puzzles are done in a way that multiple if not team can solve them together. Wouldnt put it up in top rooms but definitely a very good room. Liked the decor set the tone really well and puzzles for the room. Some of the puzzles were different than i have seen. We did the advanced version but needed some help. Ana was our game master and did an awesome job with the hints and setting the tone for the room. Only did this room so far at this location but are willing to try the others since we did like this one.

5 would probably be max just due to linear nature

An engaging storyline and immersive set design helped create a very cohesive first time experience with Back In Time Escape Rooms. The puzzles were overall well paced and we were able to complete it as a duo with plenty of time to spare. That being said the room would do well with more puzzles to make the experience longer.

An immersive set and storyline helps contribute to a cohesive experience that allows the gameplay and puzzles to really shine (wink wink). Ben was a great host! Looking forward to beating the next room

Very well thought out puzzles and excellent atmosphere. There were no elements that took me out of the experience. The only thing I would say is that there should be more puzzles to give the plot a little more length. We were able to solve the entire thing in about 30 minutes.

Lights dimmed in all rooms. Puzzles are all done by “candle light”. Sound scape was great.

Staff was very friendly. Ask for Pearcie.
Scary
A couple of jump scares.
