Escape Now: Haunted Hollow

the theme didn't make sense and the puzzles didn't really link to the theme very well .

A beginner's scary room, as the puzzles aren't convoluted, though some do require a bit of thought and observational skill to complete, and I thought the numerical one was very fair yet capable of catching you out. The room is nicely decorated and furnished to embed you in the creepiness without being too threatening. The GM told us that it's their easiest room, which makes sense - I suspect the idea is to not overwhelm the players with difficulty while trying to give them the creeps. Experienced teams shouldn't have a problem with any of the puzzles, and might find it too simple - but I'm interested in playing the other rooms available here.
