    Where Dark Things Dwell [Outdoor]

    Where Dark Things Dwell [Outdoor]

    Secret City Adventures- Black Creek Pioneer Village

    Where Dark Things Dwell offers an exceptional escape "experience"! If possible, I highly recommend scheduling your visit for the evening to fully immerse yourself in the atmospheric ambiance. Although the puzzles leaned toward the simpler side, they were skillfully interconnected. Yet, what truly sets this experience apart is the immersive atmosphere and the live performance element of Where Dark Things Dwell. The inclusion of live actors who engage with you throughout the room adds an extra layer of excitement. However, one thing to keep in mind is that the experience can be disrupted if you end up in a group where others solve the puzzles ahead of you. Additionally, optional hints are available, so if you prefer a strict challenge, it might be a bit trickier to be more disciplined about. Despite the fact that my group didn't manage to complete every puzzle, everything came together in the end for a rewarding experience that left everyone still feeling accomplished. If you're a fan of spooky adventures that aren't overly scary, this is definitely a must-try!

    Probably my favourite escape room thus far. The room itself was great, the puzzles were even better and the wow moments when mechanisms triggered was fantastic. Highly recommend this room for escape room enthusiasts and fans of The Simpsons!

    The Professor's Will demonstrates a commendable level of dedication and attention to detail. While it may not feature the fanciest elements, its well-crafted mechanisms and carefully designed moments truly shine. Although we came very close to completing it, regrettably, we ran out of time. Nevertheless, I highly recommend giving it a try for yourself.

    If I could give it a middle-of-the-road rating, I definitely would. The room does have a fantastic atmosphere, and similar to the Thompsons' escape room, I really admired the effort put into the technology and the mechanisms. However, this particular room felt a bit too linear, which caused us some significant slowdowns. The puzzles also weren't always clear, leading to moments where only half of our group was actively tackling puzzles while the other half tried to make sense of things. On the plus side, we did receive plenty of hints, and they even gave us extra time, which was a nice gesture. I wouldn't necessarily recommend this room for first-timers, though, as it proved to be quite intimidating and challenging for the two newbies in our group.
