Deep within the dark recesses of the forests in Oregon lies an evil like no other. A disbarred geneticist named Dr. Vermillion has unleashed a terror that has left a trail of death and destruction in its wake. A once decorated scientist, Vermillion has now been disgraced for conducting immoral experimentations on humans and animals. Seeking revenge for his disbarment, Vermillion has unleashed his brood of giant wolf-like creates onto the town of Fair Oaks. Military and law enforcement efforts have failed as the death toll continues to rise. Deep within these same woods lives a hermit the locals have come to know as The Caretaker. He has no hope to escape the terror that lurks in the woods around him without your help! Move quickly and quietly – as Caretaker’s life depends on it.

This room is probably my favorite at this venue! I really liked the gameplay and there wasn’t we were confused on. I liked the occasional scares and theming! Again, thanks to GM’s Lauren and Luis for running our games!

Wow! This game was hard, but also so interesting and fun, especially at the end. Our group actually had to use clues to escape this time, something we don’t really need anymore. Our host, Steven, was great! There were a ton of locks, and a lot of connections that needed to be made.

Enjoyable experience. Played with a group of 4 and felt comfortable any larger than that and could feel cramped. There are some challenging puzzles that do require you to listen. We had "jump scares" during our experience which were the workings banging on things. The first 1 or 2 times it may startle you but then you kind of become used to it. Don't go in expecting it to be the hardest game in the world or the scariest.

Broken props such as flashlights and other technical difficulties ruined the initial part of the experience. The puzzles are pretty standard with one of them standing out from the rest. It is advertised as one of the hardest rooms in the US but I feel like this is far from the truth.

A fairly decent game with little in terms or wow factor. While also being on the smaller side in footprint it has some fun puzzles. Definitely does not stand out compared other rooms in the area but definitely a fun play for sh*ts and giggles :)

We enjoyed this room more than expected, which was nice. It did feel like we were being shuffled in/out, but once inside the room it was fun. They provided lanterns, which was greatly appreciated due to the low light. It was difficult to hear some things because of the ambient sounds, so be sure to let them know if you have hearing issues.

I was very excited to play this room but was pretty underwhelmed after playing. While the game was fun it definitely wasn’t the “hardest escape room ever” nor the “scariest” as the website claimed.

I was weary about playing this one due to the mixed reviews. But I played it with a group of awesome friends. Some of the puzzles were fine but there was one we literally told our game master- "we're not wasting time on this just tell us how to do it". Because it was clearly there to waste time, it didn't fit with the theme or anything. The scenery was fun and it wasn't scary to me.
