We had a great time at this escape room. The other reviews don’t lie, it’s hard. But the theming is appropriately spooky, with some ramped up scares in the second half (no scare actors though). This has a real homegrown feel to it, and while it may not have the flash of some of the bigger escape rooms, you can feel the passion behind its design. Our group got out with 2 minutes to spare and all had a good time. My only gripes were a couple tech puzzles that required a quick reset after they didn’t work properly the first time.

Gameplay

Gameplay was linear, but there were some creative puzzles. A good mix of traditional locks and some electronic puzzles. Minor physical tasks such as crawling, finding, and some gross out parts.

Atmosphere

Spooky cabin with a serial killer taunting you throughout, and some great gore and gross out in the second half.

Customer service

Very kind staff. Our game master was the manager and he introduced us to the puzzle maker after. His excitement and passion for escape rooms got us hyped and he gave us a great explanation after.

Story

The story was scary and fun! It had an intro video to get us in the mood, and the serial killer we were escaping called and spoke to us multiple times during the encounter.

Good room! The cabin ambiance was well done and one of the riddles especially was a cool detective theme. Everything functioned perfectly and all the riddles made sense. Nothing left me frustrated except for myself! Fun room - I’d recommend doing this one. I liked it better than escape from mars.

Scary cabin in the woods with the crazy murderer. Game flowed very well; very linear. A few tricky puzzles kept us occupied. Everything worked and was in good condition. We will have to get back to do part 2 and solve the murders.

Gameplay

Very linear flow which was easy to follow.

Atmosphere

Solid design to give you murder in the cabin vibes.

There’s a few puzzles that seem tossed in to help the experience be more scary but unrelated to the main story they’re building. In total, it’s a decent experience worth a try. Do the Unknown Part 2 right after to get the full story.

Solid Gen 1 puzzles, mildly creepy, with a logical puzzle flow that ramps up difficulty. The set has seen a fair bit of wear and tear. Our GM was super chill and the hints when requested were clear and direct.

It was HARD!! Had the Groupon so this was our only option. I’d go back and try the others for sure. It’s in a nice neighborhood, you don’t always find that here lol! The space is not big but the puzzles are packed and they are not easy. It was fun tho. 30% finish rate. We made it to their 80% so we got go sign the wall. The part 2 is their hardest room….. not one of my favorites…. But I like them all

Gameplay

Good. But sticky. It was different from usual and I’m not sure how to describe it.

Atmosphere

This part was kind of basic. I was surprised how many puzzles were in the room because it didn’t have a lot of items……

Customer service

They were awesome

It was unusual. Not a lot of fluff or prettiness but tough clues and combos

Not scary

Some might find it scary as it’s about murder but it wasn’t scary 😂

Was anything broken?

No

But some if the locks were hard to open and they almost had to come open them with the right combos. Twice 😂 could be user error too…..
