📖 THE STORY
Not believing the stories you’ve been told about a strange and abandoned house, you decide to investigate the old family home which has been plagued by paranormal activity. Will you discover any evidence, and more importantly, will you survive to tell others about it?
🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE
The game has a really nice flow to it, there are multiple rooms to explore and a lot of props and thematic furniture inclusions. During the game we explore a lot of the house, including a surprise location!
I feel the majority of escape rooms fail to properly embed a story that has the possibility to evolve during the game, however, in this room there is definitely an unexpected twist which impressed us and created a thrilling finale.
This is a linear room with a set of puzzles that begin to crank up in complexity as we progress. The variety of tasks was also impressive and had us having to think outside of the box on a couple of occasions.
🧩 MISSED THE MARK
We ultimately felt that the room lacked the ‘paranormal’ in paranormal activity. There should have been more special effects to push the illusion of ghosts and spirits haunting the property and possibly putting our lives in danger. For those not wanting to spend an hour on edge it might be a relief, but for those expecting a spooky experience from start to end, you might leave feeling a little underwhelmed.
🏹 TAKE A SHOT?
This was our favourite room at Escape Quest. It delivers on providing creative puzzles and an engaging story. As mentioned above, the room is not as scary as we would have liked, but this might be preferable for other teams.
For experienced players, this room is ideal for a two-person game due to its relatively low difficulty level. However, newer teams might find it beneficial to bring up to four players to fully enjoy the experience
ℹ️ ADDITIONAL INFO
There is limited parking available for free directly in front of the building.
There is a lobby area with comfortable seating and some drinks for purchase.
