Beyond Escape
San Francisco, California
Trapped in a Room With a Zombie: It seemed like a normal room at first, until the blood-hungry brain eating zombie revealed his presence. Drool dripped form his disfigured, decomposing mouth as he screamed and clawed at us. Although he was chained to the wall, we were terrified. We knew we only had 60 minutes to escape before we became zombie lunch.
Pros: A zombie! Who doesn't love spending quality time with a zombie. The added element of terror of having a zombie chained to the wall made this escape room experience even more challenging than the average puzzle room. The puzzles were appropriately difficult. The game master was helpful at times to keep us on our feet. The set-design was basic overall. Limited storyline, but with a zombie, who needs a story anyway?
Cons: This being our inaugural experience in an escape room, we were so terrified of the zombie and confused by the chaos that we had no idea what was going on. More experienced escape room fans will love the added challenge of the fear factor.
