About the escape room

California, 1994 You're a group of tourists traveling through California in search of local attractions. One evening, during a tour of the dense forest on the outskirts of the town of Willow Creek, you noticed an abandoned farmhouse standing next to a lake away from the trail. Its slanted appearance and ominous aura immediately caught your attention, but you couldn't bring yourself to enter it at night. Upon returning to the town, you began to ask the locals about the house. Many refused to talk and tell anything, but you did hear a story about a family that lived there, strange disappearances of locals, and rumors. Someone laughed it off, calling it an old legend for tourists, but the stories contained strange details that made you think: if it was just a yarn, why did they talk about it so nervously? Intrigue and a thirst for adventure prevailed, and the next day you and your group set off to this house. Welcome to the Lancaster's house.

Brief assessment
from Navigator AI
This isn’t about ‘little keys’—it’s a live horror performance where you interact with characters and escape the story. Atmosphere, sound, and actors hit hard from the moment you step in and hold you to the finale.

Overview of artificial intelligence

AIAlmost everyone praises the acting, close contact, and immersion that starts even before entry. The format is performance: few puzzles, focus on plot, improvisation, and individual tasks. The location is large and labyrinthine, with light, sound, and a ‘chainsaw’, yet most consider it safe. There are occasional complaints about overly rough contact, mismatches with the chosen level, a dim lobby, smells, and weak video quality.
WeaknessesIf you love puzzles, there may not be enough of them; sometimes hints come too early. Isolated complaints about excessive contact and mismatch with the chosen level (incl. a stun gun), plus notes on smells/haze and a dim lobby. There were also complaints about the quality of the video montages.
StrengthsActors go all out: contact, improvisation, dialogues, and scenes like in a movie. Locations are large-scale and detailed; sound and light create dense suspense. There’s variability and individual tasks—no one is left without attention.
SecurityThe venue is safe: soft edges, contact control, and a briefing before the start; levels are light/medium/hard with options. That said, there are rare reviews of overly rough physical contact or mismatch with the chosen level—better to state boundaries clearly before the game.
Level of fearVery scary: screams, tears, and occasional dropouts are commonplace. Kids and the easily spooked should choose light/medium and discuss contact in advance; families on those levels say it’s OK.
Actors' gameThey play powerfully and differently, keep the pace and carry the story, and are happy to chat after the quest. There’s lots of contact, including personal scenes, and it’s tuned to the group.
Quality of riddlesThere are puzzles, but they’re simple and serve the rhythm, without ‘illogic’. Sometimes players don’t immediately understand what to do at the start, but the actors guide gently. At times, hints are given more than one would like.
PlotA story about a family and disappearances is told through scenes and interaction, and the team’s choices influence the course and the finale. The lore is generally clear, though some guests would like more detail on the inner ‘nightmares’.
Difficulty levelLogical difficulty is low, emotional is high. Newcomers will be comfortable, while puzzle hunters may miss having something to dig into.

This is the best horror performance I’ve ever attended. The oppressive atmosphere hits from the very first minute; the actors don’t just scare you—they ratchet up a primal terror that makes you want to turn on the lights in every room. We walked out hoarse and exhausted, but with the feeling that we’d survived a real nightmare. If you want to be truly scared, go for it.

We go to a lot of escape rooms and were left disappointed. It felt like we spent half the time standing in the dark with nothing to do; the room felt dirty and had an unpleasant smell, and the physical contact in hard mode was too rough and at times unsafe; plus there was confusion with communicating the change in difficulty level. Maybe the format just isn’t for us, but for that kind of money we

Immersion starts on the way there, and the game kicks off literally at the doorstep. The fear level is off the charts; my friend had a meltdown because of Bobby. The location is huge and safe, the puzzles are interesting, but the adrenaline makes it hard to think. Sound and lighting work wonders—here they’ll kill you not physically, but morally. The first quest where I was genuinely scared.

The quest was enjoyable; the venue is spacious—even the scent was memorable. The puzzles aren’t difficult and are fresh in places; the one-on-ones really landed, and safety was excellent. Among the actors, Sophie stood out the most, while Bobby and Katie left mixed feelings—as if there wasn’t enough depth. We’d like to come back when the main cast is on to form a final opinion.

This is a performance with minimal emphasis on puzzles and maximum on the situation and the actors. The team is sometimes split up, the scenes are meticulously staged, power tools buzz around, but the location is safe even in the dark. If you love genuinely getting scared and screaming, it’s worth it; if you want to interact with a strange family, that’s a 10/10 as well.

There were four adults in our group. At first we were shaking with fear: the loud music, the gloom, the smells, and the almost complete darkness were enough to make us want to leave. We got used to it, but the chainsaw sound and the lighting effects were the most overwhelming. The bedroom was a special delight, the best scene; the young blonde was especially memorable, and Bobby is a true professi

The hour flew by in no time; I really liked that you can talk with the actors after the game. The only thing is, I’d like more lore: materials, tapes, or creepy finds to ratchet up the atmosphere even more. Otherwise—awesome.

The quest itself is decent, but the video inserts let it down: a couple of clips with poor audio, as if shot on a phone. Against the strong set and actors, it feels out of place.

From the very start they threw me into the story and didn’t let go until the end. The actors were on fire, the scenes were downright cinematic, the one-on-one segment gave me goosebumps, and the sound and lighting ramp up the fear like crazy. I’ll be back with friends for hard mode.

We chose the hard option and misjudged it—the contact was harsher than we expected, plus we didn’t like the cigarette smell during the scene. Next time I’ll go for medium, because the location and the actors are really strong.

The performance is powerful: sound, darkness, labyrinthine locations, and live actors. I liked that the ending depends on us. Scary to the point of trembling.

Great, lively performance. There aren’t many puzzles and they’re not difficult — that’s by design — but the actors carry the story and quickly think on their feet when we get stuck. Some might find the scare factor low, but we loved it and recommend it.

Very atmospheric and scary, but there aren’t enough puzzles, and at times the hints came earlier than I would have liked. I still recommend it — the performance is strong.

We went as a family with our teenagers to the Medium show. It was scary but safe; everyone had their own scene, and afterwards we had a great chat with the actors. Excellent experience!
