Dracula's Castle

This was pretty fun. Puzzles made sense. Used riddles which I really enjoy. Well put together and clever.

Staff was great. George even offered to go in search of a root beer for my sister.

Nice combination of “solutions”. Got to use a lot of our experience-accumulated solving techniques.

Doable with 2 but a third person would have made one puzzle easier

But fortunately they had routed the game play around the issue so it wasn’t a problem

The most fun parts about the game play were the see-thru puzzle panels where the goal was to retrieve keys, the ones I liked the least were the puzzle boxes, particularly the brail box and the magnet box. They were unnecessarily hard and wasted more time in the room than anything else.

The atmosphere in the second room concealed behind a bookcase/door was the better of the two, there was no music in the first room which was meant to be the main office which loaned itself to a poor environment to start the game with.

Our game master was very nice, and helpful when it came to hints.

It didn’t feel like it brought anything new to the party, I feel like using the whole ‘kill Dracula because he’s a vampire’ narrative is beaten to death in this day and age.

The story was alright, I feel like it could’ve been better if it didn’t feature Dracula, they could’ve used the opportunity to create an original character and build a better story around it.

The hardest part of the room- the amount of different locks, and lock boxes. The puzzles also skew on the more difficult side. But overall the tasks of the room are just time consuming, our game master said that it was very linear, but it did not feel like it at all.

The room was very mechanical, lots of key and number locks, one directional lock and several puzzle boxes and trigger mechanisms

I think 3 in a pretty comfortable number of players to get the room done.

Even though the room was supposed to have a ‘spooky’ vibe, it did not give you the creeps at all.

Mostly for boredom’s sake, reserve this room for older kids.

Things were just unnecessarily hard to open.

There’s one trigger mech which requires you to stand under a black light and link hands to activate it, but that’s about it.

This room is pretty straight-forward, and is suitable for those with accessibility issues.

Pretty big, brightly-colored sign on the side of the road, easy to find.

The parking lot and the location is a little sketch, but suitable amount of parking for the size of the location.

Difficult for some disabilities

Mostly linear

Average design with a few nice touches.

Many locks with some tech. Too many exposed wires.

Plenty of on-site parking
