The Cabin was a standard escape room in a dark, creepy setting. The darkness was the most challenging aspect of the game. While the story didn’t quite work, the vibe came through strongly.

Story
We’d gotten lost in the woods and stumbled upon a cabin. Once trapped inside, we realized the proprietor might not be such a kind soul, and should he return… we’d rather he didn’t.
Setting
The Cabin was dark. There were a few pieces of furniture and some props to make it vaguely like a study. Mostly, I remember that it was dark.
Gameplay
Amazing Escape’s The Cabin was a standard escape room with a low level of difficulty.
Core gameplay revolved around searching and making connections.
Analysis
+? Amazing Escape opened The Cabin with a humorous intro video that was remarkably similar to the one at THE BASEMENT in Los Angeles.
– The Cabin required a lot of searching in barely any light. We found plenty of flashlights, but this was more annoying than entertaining.
– The early puzzles emerged by way of some childhood stories. This attempt at narrative didn’t quite work.
+ We might have been lost in the woods, but one fun puzzle series gave us some direction.
– The Cabin ended abruptly. We were surprised when we realized we were finished.
Tips for Visiting
- Parking: There is parking out front.
