You woke up in a dark room thinking this is probably just a dream but soon you've realized you've been kidnapped. Your only hope is to try to escape through that door...

🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE

  • The idea of not knowing why you've been kidnapped and the need to find out by searching for clues and solving the puzzles was intriguing. We enjoyed this backward scenario for a storyline.

  • There were a couple of times in the game when the game designer created a sense of urgency and "terrifying" moments for the players by using light and sound.

  • Although there was not much tech involved in this room, some traditional puzzles were presented in a unique way that was enjoyable to solve.

  • There wasn't much reading involved but through the clues and props used in the room, the creator was able to clearly introduce the plot.

🧩 MISSED THE MARK

  • Maybe it's because we're not really good at "search and find" type of puzzles but we felt that there were a bit too many of this type of puzzle in this game.

  • One of the sound triggers could have happened a couple of more times instead of just once to act as a countdown clock and also to add more intensity to the situation.

🏹 TAKE A SHOT?

This is one of the older rooms at Escape Reading. You'll see a huge improvement in the set design of the games at their Alden Street location. But we still enjoyed this game as the storyline was told through the puzzles and there were a ton of puzzles! Also, the theme might be more fitting for some players that enjoy a dark mystery. But if you are looking for a creepier experience, do check out their "The Vampire Slayers" room!
