📖 THE STORY

🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE
The story line really sets the curiosity level and the set design really complimented that. When we entered his mansion, all we see are strange items he's collected from various locations in the world and a strange covered "thing". Of course you won't be able to get it revealed that easily as it's covered with locks!
The creators really utilized this space quite well as we can see that the room is quite narrow and had a weird layout but they were able to utilize every inch of the space. As you venture deeper into the storyline, more and more will be revealed to you.
The lighting was quite dramatic when there's a change of scenery. It really felt like we're entering a different realm and when you play this escape room you'll know exactly why.
After playing so many games, it's hard to remember every single detail of the escape rooms. But one thing's for sure, we'll always remember the finale of "Shadow of Cthulhu"!! There was such an unexpected "wow ending" that we still reflect back on it till this day.
🧩 MISSED THE MARK
One puzzle at the beginning had a clue that was rather confusing as the props did not resemble what we're suppose to see. We had to brute force the final digit due to this issue.
Due to a tech issue we weren't able to see one of the props in full effect. I think it would have been cool to add a bit more "movement" to that to make it more impactful than just as entrance.
There was a puzzle towards later on that if we had moved a certain prop we would have to "guess" the order as it was suppose to remain where it was. This should probably be adjusted since players would probably not memorize which prop was supposed to go where.
🏹 TAKE A SHOT?
If you love adventure and mystery then you'll love the storyline of "Shadow of Cthulhu". It definitely had a build up that we experienced from beginning to the end. This is our first time visiting Escape Room RVA (the original Ravenchase Adventures location) and we are already intrigued about their other rooms. If you finished playing their rooms, make sure to check out their sister companies: Escape Room Herndon, Escape Room Arlington, and Gnome & Raven!
ℹ️ ADDITIONAL INFO
There's a free parking lot right outside the facility (they are located around the BACKSIDE of the Village Shopping Center). Lobby area with seating. It's located downstairs (1 flight). Not wheelchair accessible. RVA also offers their customers water bottles and... ICE CREAM & POPSICLES! Yes, you heard it right!! Also, we found out that teams that set a new record (without using hints) will receive a golden gnome!
