Loved this room! Very much liked the theme and the way the room starts is cool too .. definitely gives you vibes of the movie! The progression is great too and felt the pressure as the room opened out! Creepy and a few little jump scares. Great!

Another fantastic room from Compendium!
We visited last month to complete UI-55, so obviously couldn’t wait to return.
The immersion in Wrong Turn is fantastic, creepy at times and a large variety of puzzles, mostly keeping in theme as well. One trick in particular during the first third of the experience was something I’ve never seen before, and the room just seemed to keep going and going!
Would definitely recommend heading to Compendium and taking the day to do all of their rooms! Personal ranking so far would be:
1. UI-55
2. Wrong Turn
3. Bedlam
Reviews by escape room review sites
In a great example of how not to get your escape room sponsored by the US tourist board, Compendium’s horror room starts with the premise that you impulsively take a side trip into Alabama and shortly thereafter find yourself searching the house of a deranged serial killer. Your task is not just to get out, but to find a can of gasoline for your car plus also the mobile phones of the killer’s previous victims.
Of Compendium’s four rooms, I thought the decor in Wrong Turn was perhaps the most im...
The third room we did at Compendium was another ‘scary’ room – this time we entered the home of a serial killer. Once again we confirmed there were no live actors or jump scares, but unfortunately, there were plenty of mannequins (which is my specific phobia). The team were great though, and removed what they could, giving my mum a warning of where others were so she could deal with them for me. That aside, this room was fantastically creepy in a different way to Bedlam. Rather than screams, the soundtrack was instead an old fashion song and commercial, and the room and set dressing were just off enough to be unsettling.
