🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE
Call me a scaredy-cat but any room with creepy dolls deserves a check mark on my horror escape room list. Ok but seriously, this room is really creepy. Right when I walked in, my initial thought was to walk out.
The creators did a great job with having a very simple room at the beginning with not much to explore except a few photos and a door. Even if you did find the key, would you want to open it?
As we bravely entered into the mansion, there was just enough light to lead you to where you have to be. This was a great way for subtle clues but not having to say it out loud (although there were plenty of things "said" out loud throughout the game).
You'll definitely get your jump scares in this room. There's no where to hide. Certain things are manually triggered just at the right times so if you're a fan of that then you'll be quite satisfied.
The puzzles were quite interesting as they are build relevant to the storyline. Soon enough you'll be able to figure out who and why they are haunting this mansion.
🧩 MISSED THE MARK
One of the color puzzles was kind of faded. It was hard enough to see color in the dim lighting so we felt that this prop needs some refurbishing.
A set of props were used various times to trigger objects. We were used to using an item once and actually misplaced the last one. It was quite difficult to search for the missing prop in the dim lighting.
🏹 TAKE A SHOT?
This is not the scariest room we've ever played as most of those have live actors in it but it's definitely up there in terms of special effects and set design for a horror room. You'll definitely feel like you've experienced a scary paranormal activity and be glad you're back to safety once that door opens. We really enjoy the story aspect of the game and if you're a horror fan, you should definitely come and visit the "little friends" here. They told us to tell as many people as we can as they're eager to meet the next visitors! But if horror is definitely not your then, then fear not, the "Lost City of Atlantis" is waiting for your visit.
