📖 THE STORY

You seemed to be lost in the woods. Suddenly, a creepy old shack appeared in front of your eyes. At this point, anything is better than staying out here in the darkness. Or is it?

🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE

Usually, a twist happens in the middle of the story but in this game, it started right at the beginning. As we stood in the pitch-dark room, an echoing voice suddenly started capturing our attention. And then the game began...
What seemed to be isolated images or props were utilized by the creators to enhance and build on the storyline.
You’ll experience things that might happen only in a Brothers Grimm’s Fairy Tale, but the creators added their personal touch which made them unique(especially the puzzles).
The ambiance and sound alerts the room enhanced that “witchery” vibe as we progressed on in the game.

🧩 MISSED THE MARK

There was one puzzle that we were confused about as the clue could be interpreted in various ways (then again, we always overthink things).
The finale could have had a more “storytelling” type of finish by the same voice from the beginning to give the players a more conclusive ending.

🏹 TAKE A SHOT?

This room is ranked as the highest escape rate room out of all of their other rooms. There are fewer puzzles in this room but more tech and special effects. This room will be a great game for beginners to tap their feet into the escape room realm. If you love fairy tales and want to experience some unexpected “magic”, you’re at the right place. Once you’ve successfully escaped the Coven, perhaps try your luck surviving “The End of the World”?
