Wow just wow. For some, this room may be simply a walk in the park, but for us - this room was intense, spooky and scary! We greatly enjoyed the challenge and succeeded but this room touched upon some of our personal fears in such a palpable way. The experience gradually builds and intensifies as you go. Greatly designed room!!

Great GM - super fun and quirky.

This was our first horror room. It definitely made an impression - it also made left us with nightmares.

Story

The story was told in a great way - the central character was deranged in a focal way. Seeing them behind the mirror was unnerving.

Love to hear this! When we built Graverobber's we knew it wasn't going to affect everyone but also knew that it was going to affect some alot. We designed this game to start with subtle oddities and uneasiness and slowly ramp up the phobias bit by bit as you go along the game. Very happy to hear you enjoyed your experience and felt the room as it was meant to be experienced. We hope you will join us again soon for another adventure!

Thank you! This was a challenging one to decorate so we are happy to hear you enjoyed it. We were going to a mix of creepy and unsettling but not scary, it's an odd tight rope to walk, and we're happy you enjoyed it.

Scariest escape room I've played, and with good puzzles to back it up! If you like scary, this is the one. If you don't, maybe pick a different one.

I had a blast with two people. Most non-enthusiasts would probably want to have a few more.

9.3/10 This game certainly had some unique twists and turns and definitely played up the creepiness. I wished it was just a tad more scary, but still a great time. Definitely be ready to have your phobias played on.

Wow, now I really wish we had named the room "Phobia"! We're happy to hear you had a great time in GD. We did lean into making this game unsettling more than scream-out-loud scary. Our brave guests like yourself have been asking for more though. I think we can find another trick or two up our sleeves. We love the feedback though! We hope you will join us again soon for another adventure!

Very cool and unique. I did expect it to be more challenging and scary - it’s a good medium/easy and is more eerie/gross than scary. I’d still absolutely recommend playing it. Herndon always kills it!

Thank you Lucy! We're happy you had a good time in Graverobber's. I think we do eerie/gross/unsettling much better than scary :P but hopefully, we got at least one small jump out of you. We hope you will join us again soon for another game!

Another good room by Herndon. It was a surprisingly easy room but it had some very unique twists that made the room feel very different from the competition.

Loved the puzzles of this room. However I was hoping for more scares as there were very few compared to the room that previously was here (Room 213).

Gameplay

The flow of the puzzles was nice. However, at times it felt like there was too much going on.

Atmosphere

The set design was amazing.

Customer service

The hosts were phenomenal and were very chill and fun.

Physically active

Somewhat

There are definitely some points in the room where you will need to be more limber but it’s very little.

Great room, game master and story. Many unusual clues and puzzles to solve.

Well made puzzles to solve. Not easy and a bit spooky storyline reflected in the room.

Ravenchase just never disappoints! The Graverobber’s dilemma was so much fun! The set was PERFECT. The puzzles range in difficulty but none felt too hard and they all made sense within the story/set. The staff os always wonderful. We always have a great time at Ravenchase! Highly recommend this establishment and this game!
