“I've been to A LOT of escape rooms over the years and this room rates highly up there! Excellent props and perfectly-creepy atmosphere, well-balanced and rewarding puzzles, but most importantly of all, an engaging (and entertaining) games master, who was in character the whole time and very attentive to our game.
