About the escape room

On the outside, it looks like any other typical American store, with toys, candy and household items. Inside, however, this picture changes. Guilty secrets, abhorrent crimes and metaphysical presences haunting the shelves and corridors for years, return from the past and threaten. Start solving the mystery because time is not on your side and the entrapped souls demand answers, here and now… The “Creepy Store”, New Jersey, 1984. The hermetically closed store of John and Martha Devil, which used to thrive with life, weaves a mystery veil over the local community. Urban legend or truth, that this store is haunted? That it curiously opens its doors only once a year, always on the same day, and for some hours? With your group you decide to discover whether it is another unfounded legend- a product of ill imagination- or there is even a small shot of truth in this creepy story. The only way to solve the mystery is by being at the right place, the right time: At the Creepy Store, where answers to the inexplicable phenomena that haunt people’s lives are hidden… Soon you will face dead children’s spirits, who once went through the store doors. They are coming to warn you that you have to leave quickly, otherwise you will be trapped for ever, like them. Will you make it or stay for ever jailed in Devils’ Hell?

AI Overview

AIMost praise the set and effects, with many mentioning an impressive, cinematic finale. Frequent complaints about overly loud music and dark spaces that make hints hard to hear and disrupt flow. The structure requires returns to earlier spots, which some enjoy but others find confusing. English is comfortably supported.

WeaknessesSound is often too loud and audio hints aren’t clear, while darkness in places makes things harder. Noise from hallway/lobby breaks immersion. There are moments of vagueness in the flow.

StrengthsShowpiece build with lovely decor and very well-tuned lights/sound. The atmosphere is immersive and the finale sticks in your mind. Overall it holds interest throughout.

SecurityNo safety issues arise from the comments. External noise only affects immersion, so listen carefully to the briefing at the start.

Level of fearSpooky and tense, not raw horror. Likely to scare the sensitive, but teens and up should be ok; younger kids only with supervision.

Actors' gameNo actors mentioned; communication seems to be mostly via voice hints. The music volume sometimes drowns them out.

Quality of riddlesMedium difficulty with ups and downs and a need to backtrack. Some ambiguities in the flow can stall even experienced teams. When it works, the set nicely supports solving.

PlotA shop that mysteriously opens once a year hides guilty secrets and restless souls. You go in to separate legend from truth, and the story unfolds step by step without unnecessary frills.

Difficulty levelModerate-to-demanding, especially if darkness or noise throws you off. Beginners will need nudges; experienced teams will enjoy the challenge but may still get stuck on the flow.
