Horcrux: Haunted Mansion – Exit

Played on July 11th, 2021 by:

We’ve previously done all 4 rooms at this location back in 2019 and Horcrux: haunted mansion was a new scenario since then. Unfortunately, they used the decors of Transylvania (a previous room) so we were very disappointed. It was the exact same layout of rooms with same walls and furnitures. It was really underwhelming and looked more like a vampire theme than sorcery theme. 

In this scenario, as an auror, we are tasked to destroy horcruxes of a new dark wizard on the rise. A horcrux was located in a mansion in a forest in Scotland. We go investigate but soon after arriving, the dark mark appears in the sky. The dark lord is coming so we have 60min to destroy the horcrux.

The puzzles were fun and almost all related to the theme. There was a nice balance between locks and automatic mechanisms. Also, there was music playing which is something that always helps with the immersion. For the hints, the game master will come in the room to help us. We don’t like this way of giving hints since there are so many other better ways to do it. 

Overall, we weren’t impress with this room at all. I think the decor just really underwhelmed us as it felt like we’ve done this room already. There wasn’t any surprise effects but most of the puzzles were fun though. If you haven’t done the transylvania theme before, you will probably like it. We didn’t like it and almost escaped!
