WeaknessesSometimes it’s too dark, and certain tasks feel confusing without hints. Seasoned horror fans at times miss a bit more “hard” contact, though most get plenty of drive.
StrengthsStrong haunted-house atmosphere, striking actor appearances, and quality sound and lighting. Good balance of puzzles and action, a sense of story and tension to the end.
SecurityBefore the start there’s a short briefing and rules; physical interaction is controlled and gentle. Darkness and sudden effects are present — if you’re sensitive to this, warn them on site.
Level of fearVery scary: screams, unexpected contact, and bolting into corners are commonplace. Not advised for kids or the highly impressionable; teens and adults are fine if they’re ready for horror.
Actors' gameActors are praised almost unanimously: they work dynamically, appear suddenly, can split the team, and keep the tension. With one actor it’s scary, with two — even more intense; contact is generally careful.
Quality of riddlesPuzzles of various types: from search and mechanics to misdirections, generally interesting. Difficulty is medium, sometimes calls for hints, and the logic isn’t always transparent. But the variety keeps the pace and doesn’t let you get bored.
PlotThe goal is to figure out the demon’s name and lift the curse from the house, otherwise chances are slim. The story is conveyed through atmosphere and actions, without extra words, but holds to the end.
Difficulty levelDifficulty leans toward medium: newbies are comfortable with hints, experienced players won’t be bored. Some puzzles are tricky, especially in the dark and under pressure from the actors.
