Ladies and Gentleman, welcome to the Downtown Bethlehem historic Ritz Theatre! Here you will find a star commemorating the theatre's beloved actress, Lily L'Amour, who mysteriously disappeared at the height of her career in 1921. Coincidentally or not, her understudy, Minnie Mala, met her untimely death just one night later. The elevator will take you to other levels, just be sure not to stop at Lily's old dressing room. After Minnie's death, strange things began to happen there, and several aspiring actors have gone missing without a trace! Can you uncover the mystery and reverse the curse, or will this be the last tour of your lives?

The set was executed somewhat simplistically but perfect for the haunted theater theme, very immersive and spooky. They offered to tone down whatever they could if it was too spooky for our liking. Mostly mechanical aspects but executed wonderfully along with tasteful special effects. No puzzle was too complicated and everything was pretty intuitive, medium difficulty but plentiful puzzles. I appreciated the variety of locks, keys, and sensors. There is a multi-step end goal which kept things interesting, and it was very clear that we had won when we finished. Staff was friendly as always and helpful with the hints. You get 3 hints but they give you opportunities to get more by following them on social media.
Fun gameplay, a good mix of linear and nonlinear puzzles, some with classic vibes and some unique, all themed well for the room. Everything moved in a sensible direction and felt intuitive.
The set was great for the space that they have, very well utilized and immersive. Some special effects throughout the game really pulled it all together.

The theme and end goal (the reason why we only had one hour) were very unique, I’ve never seen this done anywhere else.
The story was very clear from beginning to end and we had multiple steps to reach our end goal.

For two experienced players, this room took us 59 minutes, even though we moved through the puzzles pretty fluently. Nothing was particularly difficult but there is a decent amount of ground to cover.
Mechanical
Lots of locks, keys, magnets, drop panels- practical stuff.

2 experienced players can accomplish this room, but divide and conquer with a larger group will ensure the game is completed within the 60 minute time frame.

It would be a little challenging to move around and do some of the puzzles if you're hearing impaired, or have mobility issues

Truly an excellent room. Well themed and with the trademark cluing and progression that LV escape brings to the table. There are a TON of things to accomplish in the room and the variety of puzzles on display is pretty remarkable. Couldn’t recommend more highly

Really good room! It does have the homemade feel to it, but not in a bad way. The room has jump scares but they are quick and move on. No live actors in the room. Puzzles were good. I really enjoyed this room.

This room is a tad scary, and I'm a mid tier scaredy cat. This room is not good for kids but it certainly is a fantastic escape room. The theming was awesome, and there are certain elements which really up the scare factor. The puzzles are interesting with the right amount of tech vs physical components.

On e of the first escape rooms I have done. It was alot of fun and some of the puzzles were different to say the least. I remember it being challeging and it going to the wire before we could escape. I wish I could do this one again.

I really enjoyed my experience at Captured LV! Haunted Theatre is a great room with a range of puzzles and design elements. There were even some puzzles I’ve never seen before!! It is definitely spooky with a ghostly storyline, and there are various scares that make the room a little jumpy, which was fun! The room does have that homemade feel, but not necessarily in a bad way. The puzzles flowed nicely and there was always several things for us to do as a group of 4. It would have been fine with another person, but I don’t think any more than 5 is ideal for this game. We actually made it to the top of the quarterly leaderboard, which was exciting! The lobby space is nice as well. Def check this place out!
Super friendly staff, chatted with us & gave us future recommendations!

The Haunted Theater is an exercise in classic escape room game design. There wasn’t a single moment that made me go “wow!”, and the set was far less convincing than it could have been, but there were many nice little moments and successes. The game required no hints as everything flowed perfectly, although some puzzles were remarkably less complex and fun than others. It’s not worth a special trip, but it’s a perfectly enjoyable game on its own with a few surprises.
Very classic escape room style. Some puzzles were fun, some were average. Everything solved cleanly.
While it wasn’t a pretty room, it conveyed ghostly theater well. Some elements, like a printed mural, stood out in a bad way.

One step, a slightly low doorway, and some crouching
