📖 THE STORY

There seems to be something strange about Amy’s doll, which was buried in a shallow grave. But now you have discovered it and opened the bag, you must find a way to dampen its evil energy.

🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE

• The game takes place in an old monastery, like the other games at Rock City Escape, which provides legitimacy and immersion to the story.

• We were greeted by the school’s Headmaster who escorted us to our room and disciplined us for being unruly students. The actor did a great job staying in character and responding on point to our humor.

• A tense atmosphere is present, though it is not one of horror, but one of suspense, with the occasional scare to keep the adrenaline flowing.

• We found the puzzles to be very thematic and particularly enjoyed those which required teamwork to complete. We loved how they took us on a journey through many parts of the monastery, including a brief stint outside.

• The ending was well done and successfully closed the story loop, we exited with a smile on our faces.
  

🧩 MISSED THE MARK

• Being an experienced team, we might have appreciated more complexity to the puzzles. Several of them used very basic logic to complete, making it occasionally feel like a room for beginners.
  

🏹 TAKE A SHOT?

This is one of the top-rated rooms in the Netherlands and definitely worth playing, no matter what level you are. Advanced teams should find the puzzles simple to complete but the immersion and role playing will still provide a fantastic experience.
