Mark as done to rate

A new family has just moved into your neighborhood. They've invited you to dinner to get to know you better. You buy a fancy bottle of vine and head to the dinner party. After knocking the door multiple times, no one answers. You hear some strange noises from inside. You knock the door again, harder, still nothing. After pushing the door a little, it opens. “Hello there, is anybody home?” The door slams shut behind you & you hear the locking noise of the padlock. You're horrified! You try hard to open the door, but there is no way out. You're stuck inside this scary house. You have one hour to get out. Good luck!... You'll need it!

6 escape rooms

I would recommend. It was a challenging room, and the room was HUGE. I liked the jump scares. It definitely fit the ‘feel’ of the room. I appreciated that they didn’t use too many padlocks also. It was mostly electronic/magnetic/physical puzzles.

Gameplay

I wouldn’t say it was novel, but the puzzles were good and some were quite challenging.

Atmosphere

This room was HUGE. Like, the size of a small house. They have a clever way to direct you to the right places though. I was worried that just four people wouldn’t be able to do this room, but it worked out. It was a little dark, but it fit the theme. There were some jump scares too when triggering puzzles. It was great!

Customer service

The GM did a good job. He was friendly and not overly helpful, but quick to respond when hints were needed. He gave hints without just telling you how to solve things.

Particularly interesting or different

No

I guess the size of the room made it a little different. It was well decorated also. The puzzles were good, but nothing out of the usual for escape rooms.

Story

No complaints. I think I’ll remember the room better than the plot though.

Difficulty

Hard

I would be surprised if anyone could do this room in an hour without using any hints.

Game tech

High tech

There were only two padlocks in the whole room. I appreciated that. I know padlocks do help give you some direction as to what you need to accomplish, but I felt like they found a good way to give that same direction without using padlocks excessively.

Ideal number of players

Scary

Scary

This room wasn’t directly scary, not like a haunted house or anything. However, there were some jump scares mixed with a general spooky vibe.

Minimum age

16

If you’ve got some particularly clever younger ones, they’d probably do okay. This room had some challenging puzzles though.

Was anything broken?

You have to climb a flight of stairs at one point in the game. Possibly multiple times if you get stuck on a puzzle like we did.

It’s not very accessible.
