WeaknessesThe lack of an introduction can bewilder beginners. Those wanting a classic race against time may be disappointed. The intense darkness isn’t for everyone.
StrengthsExcellent actors, film-like atmosphere, and scenes that stick in your mind. Flowing story, good timing on the scares, and sound/narration that help everyone follow.
SecurityThe game starts straight away without a classic intro, so come ready. Staff stay close, and an informative debrief follows at the end.
Level of fearTight, intense, and scary, with strong jump scares and a movie-like escalation. Not recommended for children or very sensitive players.
Actors' gameThe actors are lauded for their presence and movement, which crank up the tension. After the game they do a debrief and tie the story together.
Quality of riddlesClean, fair puzzles organically tied to the plot, without excessive searching. The difficulty is well shared across the team, and audio narration neatly replaces the “notes.”
PlotMidnight: Hilda isn’t answering, and you go to her house; an old clock chimes and a story unspools that pulls you in. The narration is grounded and closes with an unexpected ending, without cheap clichés.
Difficulty levelMedium to demanding experience for teams with a bit of prior experience. First-timers may struggle with the abrupt start, but the puzzles are fair.
