Scorched

Scorched seems like it's seen better days but it's still a very fun room to play. I think it's just lacking maintenance and could be perfect with some TLC. Only rating thumbs down because I think a lot of these issues could be fixed fairly fast but it's obvious that some parts of the game have been broken for a while and have gotten worse with time. The game is interesting and makes you think, plus the staff is funny and helpful!

Cool atmosphere- not a lot of puzzles and really not that difficult.

This room is the perfect testament that you don’t need a lot of fancy puzzles or decorations to create a memorable experience. The pacing is great and the puzzles, while rather simple, make the experience feel like you are in a race against time to escape an actual house. Cailey was a fantastic GM, even taking time to show the control room and explain the thought process behind the design and puzzles in the room.

This was an amazing room and I really loved it! It’s not an elaborate room but the storyline and the layout of the room makes up for it. Cailey was our GM and she gave us a behind the scenes tour and continued to chat with us about the ghost in Scorched! Super friendly and spent an additional 40 minutes with us just talking about all things escape room. Highly recommend the room if you’re in the area!

This room was super cool- it definitely was laid out different than any escape room I’ve ever done and I loved it. Me and my family had a great time.

to start, the host was VERY unpresentable she was in stained clothes, was wearing no bra, which you could very much tell, and overall looked very dirty. to add, all of the flash lights for the room were broken. when we asked if we could use our phone flashlights, since we needed to be able to see, the host acted like she was doing us the biggest favor by allowing us to do so (like it’s not our fault your equipment is broken). she was talking down to us like we were stupid, and making us feel very inferior and uncomfortable. as soon as we get in the room she tell us where our first item is that we need to get out of that space, since it was broken, start to a horrible game. sometime through the gameplay she comes in and gives us flashlights with batteries that she admitted to nastily taking out of the trash. one of the flashlights she gave us actually turned out to be a black light, to which we kept finding clues too early and the host kept rudely telling us that the clues were not in play yet. while the facade was cool, it could not make up for sloppy, rude workers, broken game pieces, and overall a bad experience. we won’t be returning to outerlife.

The game was really good, although older (which shows). Also, our game master did not make us feel welcome which was disappointing. The room is worth a play, just beware that your game master may not be the best.

We traveled 3.5 hours to play Scorched. I do not understand what the appeal of this game is. It’s mostly lock boxes. I wish I could say that the game had cool special effects, but that would be a lie. The game had absolutely no redeeming qualities and I felt it was a waste of time and money. The game has a lot of empty space that’s not utilized, red herrings, and unintuitive puzzles. There’s no reason to return to Outerlife Studios as I’m not convinced they know how to build a proper escape room.

Really fun immersion in this room. Very much a search and find puzzle experience and it was very unique on the physical side. Definitely recommend playing if you’re in the area.
