Xscream Escapes: The Watcher

Wow, this was fun! Adventurous use of space, logical puzzles and a few jumps along the way. GM was great too. The fear factor wasn't too intense, either - I found it more funny than scary.

Ironically posting a review on social media about a room which is based around the watcher who hates social media.... but on we go. 

From the word go, the room provides a tense experience which was just enough to keep it as an escape room. Couple of jumpscares and some less than appealing punishments from the watcher himself (though, thankfully those punishments fell upon my teammates rather than me... ). Simple yet effective progression system. 

Great hosting from Alex. 

Also smashed the record of the room by 3 mins! 

Eerie enough to keep you guessing but not so scary that you can’t focus. Good balance! Nice concept behind the story. Ideal if you’re dipping your toe into the world of horror escape rooms. Couple of scary moments which had my husband running for his life! Hilarious to watch/experience. 

Incredible! So unique, scary but so much fun! Fully immersive and all round incredible experience! One of the best companies out there 

For 2, this was a challenge as the scary aspect of the room made it more difficult to focus on the puzzles and challenges. This room was different to the average escape room as you had to collect a series of keys by completing puzzles and "challenges". This is definitely a good room for more experienced players or newbies with a larger team. 

Quite possibly the best horror game i've ever played. The concept behind the room and plays quite a heavy role in your progression. There are some shocking twists and turns and the puzzles have a nice flow to them. 

Great game, nice original concept. 'Shockingly' scary.. 

Great puzzles too!

Xscream are masters of beautiful sets and in my opinion, this is their best room yet, looking forward to seeing where the guys go from here!
