This one was really fun. The build and decor were really immersive and our GM was great and the story was just the right amount of cheesy. Would recommend!

Gameplay

Very much Haunted Mansion vibe complete with periodic narration and fun puzzles.

Atmosphere

Felt very immersive! As you go deeper into the room, it gets even better.

Customer service

Casey went above and beyond for us including delaying closing up for the night so we could book the last spot last minute. When we found something to early, he helped redirect us seamlessly. Overall great GM.

We had 4 and I think it was just right although you could probably get away with 2 for those more familiar with escape rooms.

Scary

Spooky

One little jumps scare, but mostly Disney haunted mansion vibes.

Was anything broken?

Yes

There was one item that was supposed to be revealed when certain items were placed correctly, but it wasn’t quite reset correctly, so we found it early. But the GM was really great about it.

Accessibility

Mostly accessible, but would probably be challenging for deaf/hard of hearing without assistance.

Yes

During the later pm games, they keep the main doors locked so we felt really safe.

Was a good room, but not as immersive or difficult as the other room we did at this location. Would be a good, challenging intro room to those who haven’t done many escape rooms.

Wow. We’ve pushed off doing this room forever and man, we should’ve rushed here sooner. This was an incredibly fun room, game play made good sense while still being challenging. Everything was perfectly themed to the story line and the room was beautifully designed. I did like too that the touch type puzzles weren’t all worn out where the answers were like some puzzles can become broken down from repeated use. A+

Super good room! Puzzles were decent, theming and set design were excellent. Professional lighting/sound. Has a lot of commonalities to Hope's End, though I think Hope's End maybe had a slightly more unique/creative take on the puzzles and narrative (points to Whitemore for coming first, of course). Still a super solid room. Regarding the scare factor: I've realized I need to adjust my definition of what constitutes a scary room. Compared to haunts, this room is not scary at all. Maybe a couple comically spooky moments. But I'd honestly say the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland is scarier than this, so use that as your gauge. I note it only because had I known how not-scary it is, I would have taken my wife (who hates horror). I was bracing for something more like a haunt. This is very Disney-level "spooky."

Gameplay

It's good! Not the most original you'll find, but smooth and fun.

Atmosphere

Fantastic. Like a professional set.

Customer service

Fantastic staff.

The feel of this game was described to us as Disney’s Haunted Mansion mixed with Clue, and that description is accurate. The game was fun. The puzzles were really good, he puzzle flow was excellent, the set and decor was spot on. We really enjoyed this game. Our game master Emily was fantastic.

I came home right away and started telling people about it. I want to go back and do it again. They have a Christmas one, I may take my kids to that one.

Gameplay

Omg this was so fun. It was my first one! I don’t want to give spoilers but there were so many twists and turns I stayed surprised.

Atmosphere

I didn’t want to leave it was so cool

Customer service

Our game master was one of the best parts of the game. Kept it creepy but since it was my first one I still felt safe.

Story

The story was great!
