📖 THE STORY

Your quest to explore the Legend of Dracula has led you to the mountainous region of Bran in Transylvania, home to the castle of Lord Vlad Tepes. Here, the nights are longer, and nocturnal creatures lurk in the rapidly growing shadows as the moon rises. You and your team are thrilled by the adventure of exploring the woods surrounding Dracula's Castle. Suddenly, you find yourself awakening in a dungeon cell, imprisoned like those who came before you. Now, you must act swiftly, seek any possible assistance from within, look for clues left by Dracula's previous victims, and escape the castle before it's too late. His return will spell your doom...

🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE

• Upon entering Dracula's eerie lair, we were immediately faced with a cell that prevented us from proceeding further. We enjoyed solving an unconventional puzzle to gain entry instead of just finding a key.

• The set design resembled an old castle filled with hidden secrets, which we uncovered along the way.

• Throughout the game, you'll use numerous props that make you feel like the real "Van Helsing".

• There were two props or clue items we hadn't encountered in other escape rooms before. It was satisfying to see how they worked with the solution reveal.

• The special effect at the end when Dracula was defeated was a fantastic way to conclude the game.
  

🧩 MISSED THE MARK

• There was a clue that was depicted in a way that was different than the traditional. I understand why some players might consider this puzzle to be the toughest puzzle in this game.

• The last task seemed somewhat repetitive. Perhaps shortening it and introducing another puzzle could resolve this problem.
  

🏹 TAKE A SHOT?

As you navigate the dimly lit corridors and grand halls of the castle, each room will present its own unique challenges and hidden items that are essential for piecing together the larger mystery at hand. You'll also get a lot of moments where you must work as a team in order to solve certain puzzles together, emphasizing the importance of collaboration and strategic thinking. Communication is the key to escape, as you will find that many of the challenges are designed to require diverse perspectives and skills. If you want to feel like Van Helsing, trying to kill the most powerful Dracula before he awakes, then this challenge is for you. The thrill of the hunt is palpable as you race against time, gathering weapons, artifacts, and knowledge that will aid you in your quest to confront this legendary creature.
