Creepy/scary rooms aren't normally our thing, but we tried out this room at the recommendation of a staff member of Escapologic and we're so glad we did! The immersion on this room is incredible. The puzzles are varied and so much is done with the space and sound that I think you could probably complete this room multiple times and find something new each time. The story behind the room also feels like an original take on an well-known trope.
What really made this a great game for me was the host. I have a heart condition which means I can faint when my heart rate increases too rapidly (e.g. when I'm startled). When I mentioned this to the host, they put me at ease very quickly and let me know that several bits in the room could be amended if I wanted. In the end, I opted to go ahead with the game as it was designed with the option to "tap out" if I needed things changing partway through. It was really helpful to feel as though I had that amount of agency.
This is a great game. Well worth playing. Super fun, quite tough but doable as a 2 or more. Less scary than Howitz but a few good jumps for sure. Armani was a fantastic host as well 🙂
I've thought long and hard before posting this review but I'm going with my gut.
I was pretty disappointed to be honest - having played two other games at different venues on the the same day as this, I was hoping to finish with a bang. Unfortunately this room let us down with one really annoying puzzle that caused us to fail the room near the end.
As per a previous review, I'm guessing this is the same puzzle and as two experienced reviewers are saying the same thing I hope that the location will take this on board. The puzzle in question relies on recognition and due to the subdued lighting and ambiguous choices we were stumped and as no clue was forthcoming other than the same one repeated multiple times we pretty much gave up and waited the time out. It's very frustrating when you know how to solve the puzzle but just can't make out detail enough amongst a lot of choices.
Aside from that the room reuses certain elements which felt like a bit of a cheat when the space available was more than adequate without needing to do it. It also has a lot of low light time so bear this in mind if your eyesight isn't the best.
On a positive note, the theming was excellent and the host friendly and knowledgeable.
We've played other, better games at this location.

Violet is a decent offering as a horror game in Nottingham. It’s not at the same intensity level of ‘Butcher’, but for those of a nervous disposition, it’s probably a safer choice. The set is decent, the puzzles were fair, and we had a good time.
As our 50th room, Violet will be remembered for a number of reasons. Obviously because it was our big 5 0, but the room itself, the immersion, the puzzles and the creepiness were all brilliant. This is Escapologic’s newest room at the time of trying and they say it is a mid-range difficulty, however they are starting to say that teams are struggling to get to grips with it and the difficulty might be higher than first predicted. It is completely different from anything we have taken on before in terms of how open the room was was and the puzzles being available to us. It is certainly worthy of being part of the Escapologic range of games!
