Really fun but we felt a little overwhelmed with so many pieces of puzzles all showing up at once- it was hard to juggle it all correctly. The atmosphere was epic. Staff were very cool and helpful. Really cool experience but I would highly suggest taking a few people that have done escape rooms before as this is very difficult and it’s their hardest room. Lots of stuff to do- we didn’t even come close to finishing.

Staff were very welcoming, supportive and friendly.

The more the better- there’s a lot of stuff to be doing all at once and with 3 & 1/2 people (my daughter was pretty scared and didn’t get into it much, hence the 1/2) we didn’t come close to solving everything.

It was super creepy- the sounds, the smells, the lighting, the Latin-esc freaky mumbling voices, the booming sounds, the “props” …it was so real feeling that it was very scary! You be fighting for your LIFE up in this one!

Enchambered has really good set design, and I think Skull Witch is their best (at least so far) -- if you're an enthusiast and only play one game here (but why though?), choose this one. Just stepping through the initial door sets the tone for the entire game, and the rest does not disappoint. Unlike most other games, there are multiple areas available from the start, which is both good and bad - it's good because it reinforces the feeling of entering another space, not just a converted office building, and bad because there was a lot of ground to cover right away. Puzzles felt pretty good. The self-serve hint system was a little unusual; having hints instantly available instead of waiting for the GM seems like something more games would ideally be doing (but is understandably dependent on a certain level of tech). I thought there was a good balance of content and difficulty for our team of 5 enthusiasts. We finished with a decent amount of time to spare (though we were also flowing pretty well), and there was plenty of space.

One section of the game requires a player to crouch/crawl a little to see relevant information; one section of the game requires a player to stand on some boxes to see relevant information.

Skull Witch: An evil witch with an evil plan. Could we rescue her victim and escape her lair? Pros: We were escorted through the creepy waiting room into the creepy escape room. Our first impression (after overcoming our sheer sense of terror) was that the set design was just WOW. Once the door closed behind us and we stopped flipping out, we cautiously began to explore the cabin. The set was seriously amazing and the puzzles were all aligned to the theme. The tech in the room added to the awesomeness of the experience. We played as a group of six and stumbled our way through the puzzles. The storyline was full of twists and turns that only enhanced the experience. We were surprised on more than one occasion but for the faint of heart, there is no need to fear. This is not a haunted house type of horror experience. Cons: We really had no idea what was going on through most of the game. We were all very motivated and ready to play. Still the puzzles were much too complex for us to grasp. Hints from the gamemaster helped move us along. The timer went off well before we completed the game. Nevertheless, we left the game happy thanks to the amazing set and fun game design. Enchambered lives up to its reputation as the best in Sacramento. Definitely check out Skull Witch - but be prepared to watch your success rate fall.

I am consistently awed by Enchambered rooms and I go out of my way to do one anytime I visit Sacramento. The Skull Witch features unique touch puzzles that feel like magic and the timer and clue system are SO cool and immersive. There was plenty to do and this room won’t feel crowded even with the maximum 8 people. It is a tough room but all the puzzles make sense and man it is it FUN! The effects are so cool. Note that it DOES have stairs and also a couple of jump scares.
Unique puzzles and plenty of parallel options for larger groups.
The set was amazing! Also they didn’t use a traditional timer or clue setup so immersion was never broken.
Staff was AMAZING! We were a HUGE group doing two rooms and also had a lot of last minute troubles and the staff was so kind and extremely helpful.

This is a tough room but it is a good tough. All the puzzles are logical and well designed.

Had some really cool touch element puzzles!

You could maybe do this with four but with the amount of puzzles and the complexity of the room I think 6 is ideal. Also the maximum 8 will NOT feel crowded like it does in some rooms because there are plenty of parallel puzzles.

After being greeted by our GM we were told that this game has a 10% escape rate. So we told our GM to nudge us along so we could see the whole game. This game was very difficult for us even with over 1000 games played combined. Our GM failed to help us along and we didn’t get to see the ending. He told us we probably needed another 10 minutes to finish. It does have a great set but the puzzles are very tough so be prepared.

Honestly, I'm genuinely surprised we escaped 🤣 literally down to the last second it felt! Some nice, unique puzzles. I do agree there felt like a little lack of direction with not knowing when stuff would be needed, but the hint system didn't hesitate to help. I do feel like the hint system was a little buggy, giving us hints for puzzles we had already completed. Overall, though, the room was very good and very atmospheric and on theme. A little more spooky than I typically care for, but I would still recommend it!

Stairs and a crawling space
Unsure if it could be modified, but there are at least two spots you need to hear on. Stairs and crawling, but other people could do those spots, one puzzle is crawl but several are up the stairs. Low-light throughout. Colors are important.

Great atmosphere throughout the game! The puzzles were really well done and had a good combo of things that weren’t just locks. The only thing that made this game a bit harder is that it was hard to figure out what should be done with things and clues you find and in what order they will be needed. I actually liked it though as it made the entire game another puzzle in a way. We were on the last puzzle and just ran out of time. Needed about 1 more minute, almost had it.

One of the best decorated rooms I’ve done yet. Such a great atmosphere. Many puzzles to do that need to be spread out amongst the group. Our group of 4 barely escaped with 2 seconds left. When booking it’s described as challenging and that’s not a lie. They really scratch at your brain and test your memory and reaction speed. The puzzles themselves I can describe as time consuming. The actions you do in order to progress rely on your reaction speeds. There were multiple rooms to open which kept the game suspense up and not boring. Worker was chill and I can’t wait to try the other rooms.
