Whitechapel Room Escape: Whitechapel

There were some really nice aspects to this experience and a particularly striking scare (piano scene) but overall it felt quite disjointed. Not to mention in the very first room there was a dvd player...for a jack the ripper victorian era style experience...immersion breaking to say the least. 

Oh my gosh. What an intense terrifying experience! From the amazing hosting and acting, to the creepy set, on edge from start to finish.

Special thanks to Titus and Guiseppe for their unbelievable hosting!

Whitechapel is one of those games that has a mystique around it to local escape room GMs and owners. It wasn't on our original playlist, but because so many people spoke about it during our time in Barcelona (one GM was even wearing a Whitechapel T shirt!), we managed to squeeze it into our schedule, and we're so glad we did. The environment is great, and of a decent size - Some may consider it small when fortunate enough to have been blessed with playing some of the ridiculous other game sizes in Barcelona, but it's certainly not small.

To explain what makes this game special may spoil the unique mechanic here that will leave you with stories and memories that you'll be talking about for quite some time, so I won't ruin that, but suffice to say that you should go in expecting anything, and you'll quickly realise that playing this room will take a different form of gameplay for your team. If you're a horror fan, this is an unmissable game, hosted wonderfully and expertly by the team. You're not going to get the most lavish sets, or the most spectacular puzzles, but as an experience, our team adored it.
