Contained Liverpool: The Exorcist

The game itself was ok, some good ideas but sometimes missing logic or signposting, but unfortunately the guy that ran our game was just straight up rude. The way he spoke about escape room enthusiasts, basically calling them entitled idiots was appalling. We've played a few so kind of took this to heart, but also....Don't bite the hand that feeds you.

A fantastic escape rooms for those who are a fan of horror! 

The set and props were all great and in keeping with the theme, and it was a perfect mixture of suspense, horror and puzzles. 

The owner was very passionate and an absolutely brilliant games host, good at sensing when to clue, and doing so without robbing us of any sense of achievement by clueing us too much. Just the right kind of nudges.

The only reason I’ve gone 4 stars is that there were a few parts of the room where I do genuinely think we’d have had no clue what or how to do something without the games master, as links/signposting were sometimes not the clearest. 

I liked how this horror room didn’t just rely on cutting the lights mid-puzzle or scary noises now and again like others do… Without revealing any spoilers, you’ll definitely be thrilled by just how immersive this room can get! 

The host was absolutely brilliant! The construction of the room and puzzles was very impressive with hardly any locks. Not a 5 star because there were a couple of moments of frustration that we wouldn’t have understood without the host’s assistance. We did have to guess a few times on the puzzles. A few terrifying moments but perfect if you like spooky films. 

It's fun and the owner is obviously passionate, but some of the puzzles are a bit illogical or come out of nowhere/are hard to see - I think the owner knows this as you often quite quickly get unsolicited clues to tell you where you need to be looking. Good theming too.
