While build quality isnt a strong suit for this room I still enjoyed it. The dark hid a lot of things that are broken or kinda ran down. The gimick of the room even seemed a little broken but the live actor makes up for it and keeps the suspense up.

yes and No, it was fun when it did though

If you are looking for a thrilling room with a few scares, this is a must do room! Our entire group loved it (myself, my son age 17 and 3 of his friends). Just the right amount of scare and thrill with good puzzles mixed throughout.

Gameplay

Fun room and puzzles, mostly linear.

Atmosphere

Awesome atmosphere… dark and creepy, definitely adds to the experience.

Customer service

Great hosts!

Particularly interesting or different

Yes

Not for the faint at heart… it is common for people to tap out. If hiding in the dark isn’t your thing, then this isn’t for you.

Story

Think Silence of the Lambs.

Difficulty

Medium

Not too hard if you’re experienced, if you are newer to escape rooms you might need some help, which they are happy to provide.

Game tech

Mechanical

I prefer high tech rooms, this one is not high tech, but it wasn’t necessary. We enjoyed the room beginning to end.

Ideal number of players

5

We played with 5 people and that seemed perfect. It could definitely be done with more or less. Fewer people could complete it, but it’s big enough to handle more players.

Scary

Scary

It’s called The Hide for a reason. If you don’t like the dark… try another room. We loved it.

Minimum age

15

I can’t imagine someone younger than 15 doing the room, but I’m sure it’s been done (but that doesn’t make it right!). I went with a group my 17 year old son and his friends… they were the perfect age.

The building is easy to find but we didn’t see an obvious sign to confirm we were in the right spot. There is a door marked with suite numbers, go in there and go upstairs.

I think this room works best for beginners or those looking for a more "haunted house"-style experience, but I would not recommend this for enthusiasts. The idea is fantastic, but the execution was very rough. There are a lot of missed opportunities and immersion-breaking elements that feel like they don't hold up to other rooms in this genre. If you're looking to break into the horror-escape room scene, I would recommend doing this room first. If you've already done live-actor horror rooms, I would recommend waiting until they do a heavy rework of this room, as my group left quite disappointed.

Gameplay

One puzzle was interesting and fun, but overall it felt like they were very scarce. Could use more puzzles, and the puzzles could blend into the set/story better.

Atmosphere

While some of the set pieces were nice, the majority of the room felt very under-construction or low budget and broke the immersion for our group. The music was loud and spooky, creating nice tension, but also made it hard to hear and communicate.

Customer service

GMs were nice and helpful.

Particularly interesting or different

Yes

Although our camcorder was broken, the idea of using a camcorder is really awesome and makes for great memorabilia to take home. I think this is something unique that they brought to the scene.

Story

I actually think they had a terrific start to the story - the intro was really captivating. I'm saddened that it didn't feel incorporated to the rest of the room, and the story didn't feel cohesive; rather, it felt very fragmented as though it could have been a few different stories and they didn't tie things together.

While there were a lot of aspects that broke our immersion, it's still carries a scary and tense feel with the music and concept.

Was anything broken?

Yes

One puzzle was broken and we found the piece but never got to use it. Some of the pieces were damaged, and the camcorder was broken so the experience didn't record properly.

Live actors

Yes

Live actor was good! I really wish there was more interaction.

Not a particularly different spooky story to be honest, but the live actor definitely spices it up a lot. A somewhat unique approach to it, at least in my experience. Will definitely be spooky for some people. Puzzles are made slightly more difficult by being a dark atmosphere and how the room is divided up. Teamwork definitely required for a few puzzles. A few "duh" moments for us, but overall a pretty solid medium room. Definitely a few unique moments/integrations that make it worth checking out.

One of the few with a live actor, and it's integration was pretty well done for the story.
