Mark as done to rate

An Ancient evil has awakened in the town cemetery and people are afraid. Those who have gone outside after the sunset never return home. The mad guard swore that he had heard them moaning from an ancient crypt, but he, himself disappeared without a trace on the next full moon. The locals tried to fight the evil on their own but not one single local returned from the burial ground. Tonight, the mayor's young daughter was kidnapped from his house. Luckily, you and your team of Vampire Hunters have arrived to help the locals. The mayor has begged you to save his child and offered a hefty reward. Of course, greed prevailed on you and you and your team have decided to visit the cemetery in the middle of the night, quickly regretting your decision.

Room didn’t flow, just felt like a bunch of things thrown in for an experience. There’s a puzzle where you have to do a bit of math but a few numbers are hard to tell apart because of the font. All in all, it didn’t really make sense even after me and my partner solved the puzzle and was told how it was done.

Gameplay

Puzzles didn’t really flow together. Each puzzle gave a piece to a bigger puzzle that I didn’t even know how to work until a hint was given.


Atmosphere

Set design felt very cheap. Was very afraid I was going to break something just by touching it. It doesn’t feel very vampire like, just a lot of random vampire props put into a room without any real thought


Customer service

The game master was great! Made sure we understood everything and were having fun.


Story

I forgot about the plot after a few puzzles. It’s derived from a Dungeons of Dragons campaign and very vague

This room is awful. It’s usually a bad sign when one of the “puzzles” in a room is just a math problem, but this room gets progressively worse. Puzzles have ZERO flow, cheaply made, and one of them requires force when the game-master told us that nothing would require force. This room is also not made for two people, that would have been great to know ahead of time. There was another puzzle that was faded and impossible to read. Just avoid this room.

Gameplay

Didn’t flow at all.


Atmosphere

It was…okay. Definitely on the cheaper side which is fine.


Customer service

Nice people!


Particularly interesting or different

No

Not really. Math problems and puzzles that didn’t flow well together and didn’t really make much sense.


Story

Fine. Nothing special.

For large groups only.

Just wish we were doing a few more things that were in line with the story. The gameplay got away from the story and there was no real ending.
