A very ho-hum and standard play-at-home escape game for most of the initial gameplay. Then something happens/shows-up within the last 10% or so of the room that is something I've never seen before in any room. It's something that your team is likely to remember and discuss for a long time afterwards. Some of you might hate it. Some of you might love it. I really shouldn't spoil what it is. So I'm going to have to give this room the "unmissable" rating.
Standard creepy hotel game with low level lighing, but the rooms are well themed and the puzzles work well with the narrative. Not sure if this was a hasty conversion to a remote room but at several points you can see puzzles, or parts of puzzles that aren't used, which not only causes some confusion but also made you realise that this room has so much more to give.
The host was in character and the camera work was steady, but we did have occasional issues with communication as the avatar spoke so quietly (which was part of his character).
This is a bit of a love or hate game, mainly due to the last 5 minutes of the game... either you'll think its brilliant or you'll be sat there going "what?"?"?"". I was one of the latter.... but not with the game, and not with the ending, but just how we were left on the zoom. It was just odd.

BrainXcape's games are well known for their set designs. If anyone has ever experienced "Sleep No More" in NYC, they designed "Haunted Hotel". Once again, the set design for this new room did not disappoint.
