My 30th game and easily in my Top 5. It's immersive and creepy. If you're looking for a game this Halloween, I highly recommend this one. I've done some scary rooms around Birmingham, and none compare to this. Not because it was totally terrifying (although I suspect they'll up their game for Halloween!) but because everything worked; The puzzles were in keeping with the theme, the immersive surroundings were high quality and everything just worked together. Their use of tech and video within the room was very impressive. You could tell time and care had gone in to the design of this game.

If I had one gripe it would only be because we got the record for fastest time, (Cirque Du Slay are now the Team to beat!) so in my opinion it could have been harder, and the GM shouldn't have given any clues, but I'm sure if you tell your GM at the start of the Game that you don't want clues (we didn't do that), I'm sure they would respect that. I'm sure she, like us, didn't expect us to whizz through like we did!

I highly recommend this room, and stick with the company, because they said they have more to come next year too!
