Our story revolves around you, a group of children, really keen on circus performances. Unfortunately, last night one of your peers was kidnapped. As you were searching for evidence, you found a ticket cut out from a circus you've never heard before, “Wanderlust Circus, 1940”. Without second thoughts, you decided to seek your friend at the circus site and even though you managed to get inside, you realized you are trapped in a cursed circus. Shadows and dark figures appear on the walls creeping between the red and white stripes. I do not know how but, you have to be fast and find a way to get out before the clown returns.

Just did Horror Circus. The room was visually pleasing, we really enjoyed that aspect of it, however the puzzles did not make sense to us and did not flow well for us. We left not knowing what some of the puzzles event meant.

Was a bit underwhelmed & disappointed in this room as it was decorated OK, but it was a super easy room and none of the puzzles were unique or different but actually extremely easy and found that the newbie with us was able to get the majority of them before the veterans did. Not scary at all and maybe three things that jump up/out throughout the whole game. Game master was great although she would not stop asking if we wanted a hint in the beginning like at least eight times within an eight minute period. Overall, it was a pretty OK room but with it being a higher price point compared to the rest of the area, I don’t think it’s worth it, especially since they’re not offering any discounts for even military or weekday bookings. Hoping their other rooms are better designed than this one

This was our 57th escape room, and we chose Horror Circus—an incredibly fun and immersive experience with just the right amount of jump scares! The theming was top-notch, fully pulling us into the eerie world and storyline. We especially enjoyed the unique dexterity-based puzzles, which were a fresh challenge we hadn’t encountered before. Rylee was a fantastic game master, striking the perfect balance with hints when needed while keeping the excitement high. Highly recommend this room for horror fans looking for an engaging and well-designed adventure!"

A solid room with a creepy theme filled with jumpscares. We're not the biggest fan of horror, but we enjoyed this room. It was a lot more jumpscares than it was creepy. While I do recommend this game, I do not recommend to anyone with a clown phobia as you will not be able to escape clown imagery (no live actors).

Appreciate you facing your fears with us at Game Over Escape Room Jacksonville FL! Horror Circus does pack a punch with the jump scares and clown vibes—definitely not one for the coulrophobic crowd 😅. We’re thrilled you still had a good time, and we’d love to have you back for one of our other thrilling, less-spooky rooms!
