For a room centred around the supernatural and a very well established horror franchise, Paranormal Activities ultimately falls pretty flat in its overall execution. The array of straight forward puzzles that don’t really relate to the story mixed with the baron set dressing and low quality tech/animatronics made everything feel very rushed and DIY. Given that the difficulty and “fear factor” ratings are advertised as above average, I expected more content and a decent atmosphere; but pair this with an unnecessary amount of darkness while not providing teams with a torch and you’ve got an experience that’s more annoying than spooky. As a whole I wouldn’t recommend this one as there’s much more established horror experiences out there. The positives were the staff though, really lovely and happy to have a chat with us!

A pretty below par experience for me here. The puzzles were fine, albeit assisted by the use of "thematic darkness". Usually I find this to be a bit gimmicky and makes a puzzle unnecessarily more frustrating which unfortunately was the case here. The room wasn't super well dressed and the jump scares felt like they were pretty predictable and tired. Excusable for an older room but not really one that is relatively new. For an already pretty worn theme there wasn't anything that impressed me. The only real silver lining is the staff were lovely but other than that not really much to love here. Not my favourite but still somehow far from my least favourite at The Great Escape.

Too many visual puzzles for the amount of light; which made the game more frustrating than fun. Some good effects though.
Gameplay
Unfortunately the puzzles were in several cases, based on sight; but no reliable light source was available; which made the experience more frustrating than fun. Some of the effects were well done however.
