The Ghost Of Mentryville

This was our first experience in a room with a live actor. I didn't like it enough to want to do this type of room more than those without a live actor, but I would probably do it again at some point. That being said, the actor was amazing! Despite my 15 year old daughter constantly talking to him like he was her best girlfriend, he remained in character the whole time! A very impressive feat! The room was pretty multi-dimensional for really just being one room. The live actor guided us through each part which was helpful because he was able to gauge when we needed little or extra assistance in our escape. It did have some pretty gory props for those thinking of bringing littles with them. It flowed well and had a pretty linear plotline. A few unexpected customizations to our group as well. There's no timer which was probably appropriate for the room, just not my preference. Overall, would easily recommend.

Go to this room! It is incredible. It is spooky but it is worth every second. It is unique and unlike any room I have done before. We loved it and will recommend it to everyone.

8/10 When less equals more. So much more. Prepare to be transported into this immersive experience. Like a magician, this room expertly guides your eyes and attention to believe the limited square footage is much grander than what actually appears. Each puzzle is creative, satisfying, and tactile. Slowly unraveling the intriguing story that snakes its way through every moment. This room is intimate. Max of 3 players, preferably done with 2. Make the trip to Arcane Escape Rooms. The Ghost of Mentryville is worth it alone.

This is a must-play, period full stop.

Literally a hidden gem. 💎 This room is magic and immersive and just totally spectacular in details and design. Best for a small group. Max 3 players I think.

Bro how have I missed out on playing this game for years? It’s truly one of the best games I’ve played in a long time, absolutely rock solid storytelling and puzzles that tie everything together. I think REA put it best as “The best escape room in California that nobody has played”. Go play this game, seriously. Our GM was Perigee and they were absolutely fantastic. Best experienced with a group of 2-3.

This game throws a massive wrench in the common belief that single room games are not "good". This was an amazing game and I am really glad I got the chance to play it.

A masterclass in doing a lot with a little. This room gave more of a comprehensive experience than most escape rooms I've done ten times its size. Amazing acting as well. The actor matched our energy and tone expertly and gave us an experience that I'll never be able to forget.

This is one of the greatest rooms I’ve ever done. It captured a creative energy and concept I have explored in my own work. To see this working and existing is an incredible feeling.

A very different kind of room. It’s much more centralized in terms of game play and story based. So you actually have to tune in to the story, there’s no rush to finish. It took a moment to get used to. Definitely a change of pace. We enjoyed ourselves.
