WeaknessesIt can be so dark that it’s frustrating, with some reports of tripping hazards. Aging tech and props sometimes mis-trigger or need extra nudging, and a few runs suffered from poor resets or slow GM support.
StrengthsImmersive decor, sound, and a neat darkness mechanic that gradually opens up the space make it a fun spooky romp. The experience flows smoothly for small groups and first-timers, with puzzles that generally make sense and fit the story.
SecurityExpect very low light; watch your step and mind the set since a few players reported stumbles. Respect do-not-touch signs and flag anything that seems unresponsive so staff can trigger or fix it.
Level of fearCreepy and jumpy in spots but not extreme, with no gore and a tension-over-terror approach. Fine for teens and beginners who want a scare without nightmares; die-hard horror hounds may find it tame.
Actors' gameNo live actors; interaction is via the game master for hints. GM reviews are mixed—some attentive and kind, others slow or disengaged.
Quality of riddlesMostly easy and linear, thematically on point and generally fair. A few clues feel dated or clunky, and several players wanted more puzzles overall. When tech lags, correct inputs can seem wrong until staff intervenes.
PlotYou’re spending your first night in a notorious Amityville home, uncovering what happened to its past occupants. Piece together the house’s secrets and get out before the spirit claims another family.
Difficulty levelLeans easy and welcoming for newcomers; small groups of 2–4 do well. Experienced teams may clear it quickly and wish for a denser challenge.
