Blackout Escape Games: Cabin in the Woods

We were initially concerned about this one due to the website saying there would be loud sounds and frequent jump scares, which are both things that I am particularly sensitive around. But it was absolutely fine, there was only 1 jump scare that I noticed and I don't recall any loud sounds. I guess it could be dependant on the game master but ours seemed very tame - more like just a dark room with some ambient sounds. The puzzles were pretty varied and interesting, though it was quite hard at times to work out which information is for which puzzle. Both rooms I have played here are very padlock-heavy (which we don't mind, but I know some teams prefer rooms without them), so be prepared for that. I think overall the room was good fun for the price, but I would have liked it to have played a little more to the cabin in the woods theme, rather than just a dark old room. 

The setting of this game is decent. The lighting, sounds and scenery make you feel that you're in a creepy cabin. That same lighting however can be too dim for intricate, visual puzzles and the small torches don't always give enough light.

The game teeters on the line of creepy and scary, with a couple of jump scares to keep you on your toes. It is not an extreme horror or very scary game as a whole however.

It is a traditional escape room game with padlocks and locked furniture with enough to keep our team of 2 busy throughout.
