This is not a game anymore... this is something different. You've somehow foiled Edward Tandy and escaped The Basement in Chapter 1. You've managed to make it out once again after Edward and his assistant placed your sleeping body in The Elevator Shaft in Chapter 2. In Chapter 3, things have changed and you're treading on turf that Edward never expected you to gain access to. You've made it into his Study. In The Study, you and your team have made your way into the upper quarters of the Tandy family home. He Is VERY unhappy that you have encroached on his personal space and he plans to make you pay dearly for this mistake. In Chapter 3, you will find out more than you ever hoped about our matriarch obsessed serial killer. With event and theatrical puzzles, your level of interaction will need to take a step up in order to see the light of day ever again.

I know I’m an outlier with my rating/review, but I still want to leave it. I enjoyed The Basement, was wow’d by Elevator Shaft and amazed by Courtyard, but I can’t stand this room. From the start your group will most likely be trying to solve the wrong puzzle because that puzzle is obvious and the real first puzzle is almost random in its expectations. So that wastes your already limited 45 minutes. Hints aren’t necessary limited, but they choose when to give them to you. You can’t wave your collective hands and get one when you want it, so also wasting limited time. People rave about the actor interaction, but we did the room during COVID protocols, so I will give them the benefit of the doubt and believe it’s better when you aren’t required to stay 6 feet away. Lastly there are puzzles that I won’t go into details about, but they go against current escape room norms. Which I would say makes them unique and fun, but when you’re already down on time I feel like they were designed to waste your time and make you fail the room. Run rooms 1, 2 and 4 for sure, but if you need to skip one, skip this one. If you do run this one, be prepared for some frustration.

A fantastic room with twists and turns that it has a genuinely spooky atmosphere and feels like you’re inside of a horror movie. Fantastic use of an an in room actor as well, which is often hard to accomplish.

I enjoyed the room, the actor was great. However you lose a lot of time waiting on the actor to finish the hints. Our group would have escaped as we were on the last puzzle but ran out of time. That time lost waiting on hints would have got us out.

Good room!!! Definitely scary, had some great elements! Actor was great but some puzzles leapt logic. Our game master also did not give great hints. We were stuck on the last puzzle for 15 minutes and were basically doing it right but I feel like the game master did not want us to escape so they could keep their escape rate low.
