🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE
A particularly effective mechanism that significantly enhanced our experience was the inclusion of headphones. We were completely immersed, hearing only the intended jump scares and music from the game itself.
The set design was outstanding. The majority of the game took place in darkness, with only our flashlights for illumination. Despite the dim lighting, the eerie office, unsettling long corridor, and classroom were strikingly reminiscent of a real-life school. There were instances where I startled myself merely by moving around.
The narrative was conveyed through the game's characters, serving as a clever method to guide us with subtle clues on what to do next.
There were several interactions that gave the impression of spirits controlling our devices, sending chills down our spines.
We encountered a device that revealed a solution in a manner we had not previously experienced in other escape rooms. It was always exciting to discover something new after playing numerous games.
The special effect at the conclusion provided us with a truly satisfying horror experience. We left with a "smile" on our faces.
🧩 MISSED THE MARK
The input device was used multiple times. The instructions could be clearer regarding what to input, as we initially wasted a hint on this issue.
Communicating with the GM via an iPad diminished the immersion for us as typing took a long time from both ends. Direct communication through headphones, allowing them to assist us from the outside world, would enhance the experience significantly.
Since most items are securely fastened by the creator, we were surprised by a few misleading ones, which seemed unnecessary.
🏹 TAKE A SHOT?
The Bureau Escape Rooms is leading the way in innovation, thrilling players with exciting new features like headphones to amplify the fear factor! From the moment we stepped into the spine-chilling corridor of the elementary school, we were immersed in horror. Our only guide was a tiny flashlight, and every shadow seemed to hide a lurking presence. The production quality was so incredible, it felt like we were living in a horror movie! We absolutely loved the game’s elements. If you're a fan of horror and mystery-solving, you're in for an unforgettable experience. But beware, I think the evil spirit is hunting for a new host!
ℹ️ ADDITIONAL INFO
There is a free parking lot in front of the facility.
Keep in mind, your GPS might lead you to the front, but the parking lot is in the back. If you got to a building that looks abandoned, perhaps "travel agency" related business then you're at the right place.
Huge lobby area with seating, great for large events.
Both alcoholic & non-alcoholic beverages available for purchase.
