If I could leave a neutral review I would. There were parts of this room that were good, if this was your first escape room or if you had only done a couple this room would be a good pick for you. However as somewhat experienced escapers we thought this missed the mark. The gameplay was nothing special and we found ourselves very frustrated by the number of combination locks. Having done Cabin 13 here previously we had high hopes but left disappointed. The one aspect I cannot fault however were the staff who are excellent!

Gameplay

The gameplay was fairly average, some of the puzzles were clever, but a lot of it felt disconnected and strange in connection to the storyline. There were also way way wayyyyyy too many number locks. You’d essentially work out a number combination and then try it on 3 different locks because it was never clear which portion was next. There was also one “puzzle” that had absolutely nothing to do with anything and we never would have found if we hadn’t asked.

Atmosphere

The atmosphere was pretty good! It did look like it was out of an abandoned asylum, the main room was cool, but the entry way was far cooler. The second in game room was average.

Customer service

The staff here were absolutely incredible, fantastic acting and obviously love their jobs!

Loved it! The puzzles were clever - although there was one I wasn’t the biggest fan of due to the possibility of the answer we got being slightly off due to no fault of our own. The atmosphere was well done, and the *personal touch* was rather ominous. Still up there as one of my favourites!

This room was a lot of fun from start to finish. The shorter 45-minute runtime was a refreshing change—it kept the experience tight and engaging, without any unnecessary filler that some hour-long rooms can suffer from. Every minute felt purposeful, making for a fast-paced and enjoyable escape.

This had so much promise! It was disjointed and many of the puzzles were either red herrings or just didn’t make sense. Our game master was partially in character… the whole ordeal was confusing.

Had a fantastic time. Escape Manor is great with in character staff and it really enhanced the experience. The room itself was creative and felt like there was a lot of thought put into the experience. Some very unique puzzles that I enjoyed.
