Slaughter House - Escape Room Curve

Slaughter House - Bloody, Gory "Mess"

After the spooky yet thrilling experience in The Secret Lab, we decided to try the Slaughter House. Come on... The name itself describes the mess that we are about to see in this room. This room was rated to be a 5 star room which means it is the most difficult room there is. I was a bit skeptical but the Professor but wasn't deterred. She told me that we have to try it and she had the confidence that we can do it.

The staff told is that we were abducted by Dr. Malcolm and we had 45 minutes to breakout or he will kill us... I don't know why Dr. Malcolm is the villain in most of the rooms in this franchise. I don't know what they have against the name Malcolm... The only famous Dr. Malcolm that the world know is Dr. Malcolm X... The man who fought for the rights of African Americans in America. I doubt the Escape Room team has any beef with him. Anyways.. back to the game.

The first room was really creepy. Blood was splattered all over the room and there was this really creepy music playing in the background. For one of the puzzle we had to guide a laser to a hidden sensor. It was really hard but interesting. Upon solving the puzzles in the first room we had to open a room which looked like huge freezer. Despite knowing that it was just a game, I have to admit that it was scary to open the freezer. The professor stood a few meters away when I swung the doors open.

The scene in the room was very eerie and it really fit the theme of a slaughter house. I don't mean to give any spoilers away but I have to say that get ready for numerous bodies hanging from the ceiling. Not for the faint of heart, people!!!

At one point, we had to listen to a recording of the killer. We had a tough time hearing what he was saying but when we finally got it, solving the puzzle was rather easy. Solving the final puzzle was one of the most fun that we have ever had. We had to rely on our Maths skill as we had to solve a simultaneous equation. It felt as if we were having a calculus test surrounded by dead bodies. Anyways, we broke out with 22 minutes to spare. 

The staffs were surprised that we broke out with that time as this was a 5 star room and there were only the 2 of us. For some reason we wished that the room was a bit more extensive as we were expecting more. Check out the Scorecard.

Overall

The Fear factor in this room is what carried the room. The puzzles were okay and I liked the link in some of the puzzles. The room scores very high on the theme as it really felt as if we were really in a demented slaughter house. Off the Slaughter House and on the next one!

The Secret Lab - Spooky & Eerie

One of our friend wanted to join us on our latest craze and we decided to try a room at Escape Room Setiawalk as it was close to my friend's place. We booked The Secret Lab as the staff told us that the room is scary and difficult. 

The thing about Escape Room franchise is that they don't put much focus in the back story and the flow. It may be okay for most but for those crazy junkies like us feel as if something is lacking from the entire experience.

Anyways, we were locked behind with some story about how the lab is doing some crazy experiments of human. It sounded very unappealing but we knew not to expect more. The first room was brightly lit and it was very expected considering the theme. This was the first time we had 3 people solving puzzles and we needed to sort some communication issues that we were having.

Upon solving the first room we got into the second room which was almost pitch black. It was a nice touch as the contrast was very unexpected. The first puzzle in the second room was rather difficult as we had difficulty seeing. The puzzle was challenging as we had to see colors when the room was almost dark. 

The final room was the scariest room that we had walked in. One should understand that there are 2 types of fear... One is the in your face, gory, bloody type. The second one is the physiological fear that creeps under your skin... You know the type that makes the hair on neck stand up. Well.. this room has both the elements mixed into a spooky concoction. 

The room is also booby trapped.. Our friend was so spooked that he screamed like a little girl. The final puzzle required us to remember our Biology class and we surprisingly struggled. Nevertheless, we broke out just in time with 3 minutes remaining. The room really did surprise us and we didn't expect to enjoy it as much as we did. Here's the spooked out Scorecard.

This was the first room which we played that had a horror theme and we were "pleasantly" spooked. The Professor still hears the screams of the little girl every time we discuss the room. Well, stay tuned for more Escape Chronicles in the coming weeks.
