One of the best escape rooms we have done. Made it just in time and the hosts were amazing. Acting made the experience - can’t recommend this enough. Will be back soon for The Basement.

5* Amazing game! 

Absolutely loved this room! Straight to the top of my list. Fully immersive experience, surprises around every corner and with some really creative puzzles.  Every stage of this game kept you believing in the theme.  The live actor was brilliant and added to the overall immersion of this amazing game!  All the puzzles fitted within the theme and story and this was one of the best sets I have played.

Wow!  What a game!  This fairly new company have created something very special.  The set is incredible and you actually feel like you are in a Cabin in the woods.  There are some really cool puzzles that we hadnt sen before and everything just flowed perfectly.  Now where this game really shines is its use of a live actor.  They are part of the story and the interaction you have with them through the game is so clever.  I really couldn't fault this game and it goes straight to my no.1.  Go play this now!

We absolutely loved this room! Set in the old fort building, the atmosphere and theming are fantastic. 

Having a live actor who isn’t there to scare you is a great idea and Bradley really acted his part brilliantly. 

There was just the right level of creepiness (I don’t like rooms that are too scary as it stops me focusing on the puzzles). 

This is definitely in my top 5 games.

I will say I'm not a fan of horror/scary games or jump scares for that matter so it was with a little bit of trepidation I stepped into the cabin knowing .  The set build is gorgeous and onpoint throughout, the puzzles are also clever and on brand but it is the interaction with the actor and you do have to interact with them in order to escape the game.  it was well played and added to the tension, they will also act as your hint system as well if you need it, its all really very well done.  This is not Butcher or Edith, so don't let the fact there's an actor in there put you off.

A nice twist on the traditional 'cabin in the woods' which gives the game a whole new dimension and your hints become part of the narrative and not just text on a screen. Combine that with some well-themed puzzles and very good acting and you have a great immersive game.
My only niggle is that its abit tight in places for larger teams, I wouldn't recommend playing with more than 4.

Loved this room, such a unique use of a live actor who was fabulous and added to the experience. Unique puzzles, great hosting and excellent build quality. Loved it! Over 200 games played it’s by far my favourite

The actual building this game is set in is amazing and the owners have made the lobby area very inviting. The setting for this game is stunning and it helps set the creepy scene. The ending was very stressful but in a different kind of way. We enjoyed the puzzles and this room. Rob and Nicki (apologies if we spelt your names wrong) are fantastic hosts and are really trying to cater to enthusiasts with unique rooms. We are looking forward to part 2!

Despite having a live actor, this is not a scary game. The way that this actor used is incredibly clever and really makes the game. (Nothing else said to avoid spoilers). 

The set is one of the best I’ve ever seen and genuinely transports you to the creepy setting in which the story is based. 

Throughout there’s a great mix of puzzles (observational, physical, logic) all fitting within the theme. 

Very highly recommend!

Reviews by escape room review sites

Unsolved Mysteries have raised the bar for what I expect from an escape room with The Cabin. With satisfying puzzles and a surprising human element, The Cabin managed to be infinitely more immersive than a simple “serial killer” themed game.

The set is brilliant quality and expansive in all the right, unexpected, ways. It is genuinely easy to believe that this is a real cabin in the woods and the immersion in the game follows naturally from this
