📖 THE STORY
There's a haunted room in Hotel Hell. Rumor has it, a little girl vanished in this very room. No one has gotten out after they checked in. Are you brave enough to stay?

🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE
Big props to the set design. At first glance, I was wary about going inside. It definitely felt haunted. Great way to use the darkness. Besides the static on the TV and a little glimpse of the creepy bed, that's all we were able to see.
The way the jump scares were triggered was very clever. I loved that it was not just a loud sound or something dropped. It actually included the storyline.
The tech ran really smoothly in this game. The creator also knew exactly when to gather people at what spot so that they all could experience the "screaming" moments together.
🧩 MISSED THE MARK
We really enjoyed this room. The only complaint is that it felt too short. We were able to escape in 15 minutes (but we blame that on the fact that we've played 750+ rooms by now and have seen similar puzzles). I definitely wouldn't mind a late check out from this room.
🏹 TAKE A SHOT?
The design of the room was ingenious as at times you might need to accomplish tasks on your own but at times you might have to be together to experience. The lighting was perfect as the pitch dark atmosphere gave you that feeling of the "unknown" but a bright light might attract you to it to reveal something. This room's puzzles were quite easy but the main focus was on the immersion. If you can't conquer your fear then it'll take you much longer to solve the puzzles than another group. This might be why some people made it out and some are stuck in there forever. Which group will you be?
