You’re a student at INBLACK Secondary School. Rumours say strange sounds — laughter and bouncing balls — come from the old storage room after school. Those who entered this room never left quite the same. One by one, people stayed away—until no one dared to come near at all. 

Now, you’ve been asked to clean it out for the event day. You step inside — curious, uneasy, and unaware of what’s waiting in the dark.

Overall a decent room.  Inblack tends to be more narrative focused (less puzzles and more “complete the action that the narration says”) so it was nice to have a bit more puzzles in here than their Kami room.  It is not as puzzle forward or as difficult as their Digital Rescue room so keep that in mind.  

2 experienced people could easily do this room.  I wouldn’t go with any more than 3 due to some smaller spaces.  The vibes are spooky and there is at times more graphic or loud props.  So it’s not a kid friendly room, but it’s also not a crazy horror room like some of their other experiences at other locations.

This is a low level light room with some light guiding where you should be focusing.  A flashlight was given to me but I’m unsure if that’s one per person or one per group (it was also the hint walkie talkie so my guess is you get one flash light per group).  

As with other Inblack rooms the finishes/props are a bit rougher around the edges comparatively.  Due to the theming it didn’t feel as out of place as other rooms.  

<spoiler here>
There was a potential for an alternate ending with the last set of materials you got, which is a cool idea.  But it was not obvious at all that I was making a choice when I “chose to stay”.  I just started using the materials that looked like it could be solved.  They really could hammer home the choice of either leaving or staying needs to be made and make the group feel more active in the decision.

The "Cursed Chamber" offers an intensely dark and challenging experience. The atmosphere is masterfully eerie, and while some clues are deliberately obscure—adding to the difficulty—they heighten the overall tension. This room is a perfect choice for enthusiasts seeking a genuinely hard and immersive horror-themed challenge.

Good theme but not really scary. Did a lot of exercise tho.

This room is really well done — it delivers a strong horror atmosphere with highly immersive puzzles and set design throughout the experience. Everything feels cohesive and pulls you into the world of the room. One small drawback is that some puzzle transitions rely solely on sound cues to indicate what has opened, which can be a bit confusing at times. Adding clearer lighting or audio guidance would make those moments smoother.

(Spoiler Here) I absolutely loved the multiple endings at the end — a great touch that added to the overall experience.
