Screamworks: The Haunted House

Superb experience, decent escape room. We did the 90-minute experience. I’m still waiting for a horror room to properly give me a scare but this one was probably the joint-closest to do with Seance in Wakefield. Loved the concept - an escape room in a whole house - you have one main puzzle per room. They’re not tricky puzzles although we made them trickier by overthinking. The puzzles aren’t the star here though, it’s the set and some pretty cool special effects throughout that I won’t spoil here. There is a physical element at the end of the experience but there is a way to bypass although it does break the immersion somewhat. From how the host described it, you can usually have more than one team in the house at once . I’m not sure how much I’d have liked that but I guess folk screaming elsewhere might have made it a bit more chilling.
