Mark as done to rate

It’s Christmas Eve, and Santa’s sleigh is ready to take flight—but there’s one major problem: the magical key that unlocks his bag of toys is missing! Santa’s last known location before the key went missing was his old cabin in the woods, a secret hideaway he uses to recharge and craft special gifts. He needs your help to retrieve the key before midnight, or Christmas will be ruined for children all over the world! Your team of holiday heroes has tracked Santa to the snow-covered cabin, but it seems his hideaway isn’t as quaint as it appears. Rumor has it that the cabin is enchanted, protected by riddles, locks, and a touch of Santa’s mischievous magic to keep intruders out. Once inside, you’ll need to solve puzzles, find hidden clues, and unlock the magic to find the key and save Christmas!

This would be the easiest of the rooms for beginners to possibly try if they want to be a little scared at the same time (otherwise do Mr. Elegoo). The rest includes light spoilers but other reviews have already mentioned the following: This room gets its spooky rating from the interactions with the GM, who is sly enough to pull off some entertaining tricks. She risked it all to give us a good experience!

Gameplay

Linear rooms will be the downfall of me.

2 is probably my ideal number to recommend since it’s a linear game. Any groups of 4 may be too much.

The game master really made this experience fun.

Slight scare factor so if you think your kid can handle it then bring them.

I’m saying no but this is kind of a “somewhat” situation.

Accessibility

Should be fine for everyone. Wheelchairs may not be preferable as you may run out of space quickly, and some things may be too high. There is a color puzzle but if you can still match up what colors you see it should be fine. They’re the same shade of the color.

Cabin in the Woods is an older game at this facility. The enjoyment relies heavily on your game master; even though it's a lower-budget game, it can be a wild experience with proper presentation. Our game master delivered an excellent performance, and she made the experience wonderful.

Spooky room with some GM interactions. I jumped a few times but my husband did not lol. Storyline not very unique, typical serial killer/cabin theme, but done very well and enjoyable. Wouldn't recommend for first time players or young children.
