About the escape room
It has been 10 years since your team discovered the truth about Elizabeth Short and her psychotic games. The FBI has come to learn of a new psycho killer who also loves playing games. They believe they have stumbled upon a copycat. With a new investigation open, they have learned that Elizabeth Short owned another property 10 miles from the original murder of your fellow detective. Since your team was able to figure out Short’s last game, they have assigned your team to look into the newly discovered property. Your team walks in and finds a half burned birth certificate. The lights turn off unexpectedly, and you hear “the game has begun”.

Brief assessment
Navigator AIGo for the tense copycat-killer setup, the blackout start, and a steady drip of riddles in the dark. If you like low‑light sleuthing and don’t mind a rough‑around‑the‑edges set, it can still scratch the escape itch.

AI Overview
AIFeedback is mixed: there are a few creepy beats and some logical puzzles, but immersion dips due to bargain‑bin decor and worn props. Equipment problems, especially dim or dead flashlights, come up more than once. Staff is friendly yet inconsistent, with rushed briefings and uneven engagement. Several players felt the puzzles drift from the story and sometimes rely on arbitrary connections.
WeaknessesThe set looks cheap and tired, which undercuts the mood, and some puzzle logic feels arbitrary or disconnected from the narrative. Reports of failing flashlights and missing or worn pieces frustrate progress. A few guests felt the value didn’t match the price.
StrengthsCreepy moments land, especially the lights‑out start and searching in the dark. When on point, the game master gives helpful nudges and the puzzle flow can feel fair.
SecurityIt’s a dark room that relies on flashlights, so ask for replacements if one is dim. Briefings can feel rushed at times, but no specific safety incidents were reported.
Level of fearIt’s more eerie than gory, with jumpy darkness and a killer theme. Likely fine for teens and up; younger kids may find the low light and tone unsettling.
Actors' gameNo live actors are noted. Staff gets called friendly but not always engaged, though some game masters do step in with useful hints when needed.
Quality of riddlesExpect a mix of searching, riddles, and light math. Quality swings from logical to arbitrary, and several players say tasks don’t tie tightly to the story. Some components felt worn, but hints are available.
PlotYou’re sent to investigate Elizabeth Short’s other property after a suspected copycat surfaces. The power drops, a voice announces the game, and you race to piece together the truth before time runs out.
Difficulty levelModerate overall, with a few sticking points that may require hints. Equipment hiccups can make it feel tougher than it is, so experienced teams will fare better than first‑timers.
